GINKANA Nursing Sweatshirt Breastfeeding Maternity Reviews Summary

Fit and Size

Pros:

• "The medium is a perfect fit. I have 3 of these and I could practically live in these."
• "Fits great. I ordered large so it’s not a tight fit and it is perfect."
• "It fit perfectly! I’m about 205, 5’7” and it has some rouching so it’s not skin tight and gives me a little tummy hiding action."
• "Fitted but still loose which I love, great quality, not a thick material which I prefer. Love this shirt! Would buy again and if it also came in short sleeve."
• "I ordered a large and it fits great, just a little loose."
• "Fits well and is flattering, not too tight."
• "Fits great overall. Easy to nurse and pump in."

Cons:

• "This is not a sweatshirt as described, it’s a very thin cotton shirt that is somewhat see through."
• "Shirt fits a little snug. Ordered size large. I’m 5’9” 175lbs. If you like baggier sweaters order a size up."
• "I refuse to wear this out of the house in fear that people will ask me if I’m pregnant. I’m 7 weeks postpartum, and this hoodie is tight around the middle (even though I sized up)."
• "Runs small and snug which is NOT what you want post partum so I’d go 2 sizes up from your pre preg size."
• "The sleeves are too short and I even went a size up. The sleeves are only 3/4, not full length!!"
• "The cutouts for nursing are very obvious and make it look awkward."
• "The 'y' type divider between the breasts was clearly visible through the outer material."

Material and Comfort

Pros:

• "The accessibility is great. You just lift the top and pull down the underneath and you’re ready to go."
• "It’s definitely a thinner material, more like a thick long sleeve shirt vs. a sweatshirt, but I still love it."
• "Love this hoodie! About to order another one in a different color! Soft and causal for lounging around the house."
• "I love the material, the fit, and the color (rose)."
• "Bought this for airplane travel to breastfeed my 10 month old. Comfy, lightweight and functionally perfect."
• "It’s perfect for breastfeeding, especially if I need to in public."
• "I love this hoodie! I highly recommend it. It’s very comfortable and light weight."

Cons:

• "You wouldn't wear a shirt under this as it would make it hard to nurse."
• "It’s very cute, and soft enough fabric, but why is it sooooo long?!"
• "However, I purchased the maroon sleeves with white and grey and after one wash the white was tinted a pinkish color from the maroon part."
• "The drawstrings are super long, which I assume was on purpose to keep them below where baby will lay, but for me it’s more of an annoyance."
• "Also they string for the hood has small beads around the ends of the strings which is a choking hazard if it were to fall off."
• "The sleeves shrunk a bit."
• "I was really bummed when I realized this shirt wasn’t going to work for me."

Design and Style

Pros:

• "I still wear this shirt even after I have stopped breastfeeding."
• "I want to order 1 in every color. Super comfy, easy to access for breastfeeding."
• "Nice nursing sweater. The overlap material blends well with the pattern so you don't notice it."
• "Really like this top! The fabric is soft."
• "Very soft and light weight, easy to nurse in, doesn't wrinkle, love the fit."
• "Material is super soft, just the right weight and fit/flow."
• "I love the fabric quality and design."

Cons:

• "I’m going to try to alter it to fit me better, but that will be difficult with where the front pocket is, I’m not sure I’ll be able to take it up enough, the front pocket ends lower than my hips."
• "I could have easily gone down a size or possibly two."
• "I’m going to have to toss all of my tops. My 6 month old continually wants to grab the drawstrings and put them in his mouth. The silver caps at the end are a huge choking hazard."
• "The hoody strings were way too long and got in the way of feeding my baby."
• "The hood strings are extra long and get in the way of nursing. I cut them off already."
• "The red color runs onto the white and I think the drawstrings are way too long. It’s also starting to pill."
• "Cheap material and I don’t anticipate it will last long, but it will serve its purpose for nursing around the house."
