HOW TO USE

To get the most out of your ShirtUP and feel comfortable using it,

we’ve put together these useful tips on how to use it.

HOW TO USE your ShirtUP
depending on the fabric type

CLASSIC – For thick fabrics

  • Wrap the nursing clip around the collar once.

  • Ideal for knit sweaters, turtlenecks, and thick sweaters.

Nutzung

DOUBLE LOOP – For thin fabrics

  • Wrap the nursing clip around the collar twice to secure the fabric higher and provide better support.

  • Perfect for T-shirts, blouses, and tops with wide necklines.

U-FIX – Alternative for all fabrics

  • Clamp the fabric between the magnets of the nursing clip in a "U" shape to secure it safely.

  • Advantage: You can place the nursing clip higher or lower on the shoulder area to adjust the height, allowing more or less of the breast area to be visible – according to your needs.

Quick attachment with just one hand – "The trick with the mouth"

  1. Hold the ShirtUP with your mouth: Gently take one end of the nursing clip between your lips.

  2. Use your free hand: Reach under your sweater or shirt, grab the other end of the ShirtUp, and pull it up until both ends meet.

  3. Let the magnets snap into place: The magnets will automatically find each other – let them snap together.

  4. Adjust the position: Gently slide the nursing clip to the left or right until it’s in the desired position and the fabric is securely fixed.

  • Tip: This trick is especially useful when you already have your little one in your arms!

1. As a clip on your clothing​

  • Attach the nursing clip to your top, for example, at the collar or hem of your sweater or T-shirt.

  • Recommended for the day: Perfect when you're at home or on the go. This way, the magnets come into less contact with metal surfaces compared to wearing it on your arm.

How to keep your ShirtUP
ALWAYS AT HAND

2. On the arm as a "bracelet"

  • Recommended for the night: Wear the nursing clip on your wrist so you can quickly find it in the dark.

  • Important note: The ShirtUp nursing clip is not primarily designed as a bracelet. Its design and functionality are intended to securely and quickly fasten clothing. That’s why it has only one size, which is suited for different fabric thicknesses, not wrist sizes. If you wear it on your arm during the day, note that it may stick more easily to metal surfaces.

 

​​3. In your nursing area

  • Place the nursing clip in the area where you usually breastfeed. You can also keep water and snacks nearby to stay nourished while breastfeeding.

​​

4. In the diaper bag

  • When you're out and about, you can easily store the nursing clip in your diaper bag so it's always within reach.

MULTIFUNCTIONAL 
Thanks to the magnets, ShirtUP is very versatile.

  • As a nursing reminder: Attach it to one side or the other of your body to remind yourself which breast the baby has already nursed from or which one it should take next.

​

  • Use it to hold a nursing cloth during breastfeeding, to cover yourself if you prefer, or to cover the baby so it isn’t distracted by its surroundings while nursing.

​

  • You can also use it to attach a nursing cloth to the stroller to protect the baby from the sun. Be careful not to block the airflow completely, as this could create a heat trap, which would be dangerous.

CARE TIPS
  • Cork is water-repellent but not completely waterproof. It absorbs very little water and is naturally resistant to moisture, but prolonged or repeated exposure to water can cause it to swell or become damaged.

​

  • IMPORTANT: We recommend removing your ShirtUP when showering, in the sauna, or while swimming to ensure a longer lifespan.

How can I clean my ShirtUP?

With Soap and Water:

  1. Prepare some warm water and soap. Make sure the soap is natural, without dyes, as soaps with dyes could stain the cork (avoid abrasive cleaners).

  2. Moisten the soap slightly and apply it to the cork without soaking it.

  3. Gently scrub with a soft-bristled toothbrush to remove dirt.

  4. Wipe the Stillclip with a damp cloth and let it air dry.

​​

Alternative Cleaning with White Vinegar:

  1. Mix a few drops of white vinegar with warm water.

  2. Moisten a soft cloth or toothbrush with the mixture.

  3. Gently rub the soiled area.

  4. Wipe afterward with a clean, damp cloth and let the Stillclip air dry.

​

Alternative Cleaning with Baking Soda:

  1. Prepare a paste with baking soda and a few drops of water.

  2. Apply the paste directly to the soiled area.

  3. Let it sit for a few minutes.

  4. Gently scrub with a soft-bristled toothbrush.

  5. Wipe the cork thoroughly with a damp cloth and let it air dry.

​​

Important: Do not use a blow dryer or direct sunlight – the cork dries quickly on its own.

​

Tip: Repeat the cleaning if necessary, but avoid excessive scrubbing to prevent damaging the cork.
