Quick Answer
The SuperMom Silhouette Tank is designed for simultaneous or separate pumping and nursing, and these tips will help you adjust the fit, use the SimpleClasp correctly, and avoid common comfort issues.
Understanding the SimpleClasp System
The patented SimpleClasp technology allows you to pump or nurse one side at a time or both sides together by undoing just one clasp. This is different from traditional nursing tanks where you might need to unhook multiple layers. The clasp is located at the center front, and it releases the built-in shelf bra and the outer fabric layer together.
Fit and Sizing Considerations
Because the tank is seamless and has a built-in shelf bra, getting the right size is crucial for both comfort and support. The Indigo colorway is part of the SuperMom Collection and is available in multiple sizes. If you are between sizes, consider your bust measurement during your fullest time of day. A too-tight shelf bra can cause digging, while a too-loose one may not provide enough support for pumping.
Step-by-Step Tips for Using Your SuperMom Silhouette Tank
- Step 1: Adjust the Straps for a Secure Fit: Put on the tank and adjust the shoulder straps so the shelf bra sits firmly against your chest without gaping. The band under the bust should be snug but not tight. If the straps are too loose, the shelf bra won't hold your breast shield in place during pumping. A common mistake is leaving the straps too long, which causes the shelf bra to sag and reduces pumping efficiency.
- Step 2: Unclasp the SimpleClasp Correctly: Locate the center front clasp. To expose one breast, pinch the clasp and pull it to one side — this releases both the outer fabric and the shelf bra on that side. For both sides, pull the clasp fully apart. Do not pull the fabric away from the clasp; the clasp itself releases the layers. Pulling the fabric instead of the clasp can stretch the seam over time. Always use the clasp mechanism.
- Step 3: Position Your Breast Shield Under the Shelf Bra: Once the breast is exposed, slide your breast shield (flange) under the shelf bra so the bra holds it against your breast. The shelf bra provides gentle compression to keep the shield in place hands-free. Adjust the shield angle so the nipple is centered in the tunnel. If the shield shifts during pumping, the shelf bra may be too loose. Try tightening the shoulder strap on that side.
- Step 4: Pump and Nurse Simultaneously (Optional): If you want to pump one side while nursing the other, unclasp only one side. Position the nursing baby on the other side — the tank's outer fabric can be pulled down slightly to allow latch. The shelf bra on the nursing side stays in place unless you need more access. A common checkpoint: ensure the baby's latch doesn't pull the tank off the pumping side. Hold the shield gently if needed.
- Step 5: Re-clasp and Adjust After Pumping: When finished, remove the breast shield and re-engage the clasp by pressing the two halves together until you hear a click. Smooth the shelf bra and outer fabric so there are no wrinkles. If the tank feels twisted, rotate it slightly at the shoulders to realign the seams. Forgetting to re-clasp can leave the shelf bra unsupported, causing discomfort. Always check the clasp before moving around.
