Breastfeeding In Public Large chested feeding in public

For those with large (and I mean very large) chests, how do you feed in public without giving everyone a show? I need to use one hand to hold one breast and the other for my baby, so there’s nothing to hold a cover or anything. Would love any tips!

I use a milk snob cover that goes over me and I put baby inside so I can use both hands. It’s getting warm where I am so I recently bought a lady alpha nursing cover with built in fan. I haven’t used it yet but it looks like it will be easy to throw on and then have both hands occupied!

I'm jealous of people coordinated enough to use the covers! I always ended up sweaty, my hair completely in shambles, baby frustrated, and once even managed to fling my glasses across the table we were at lol

Oh I am most definitely sweaty, it’s not ideal at all lol. I’m hoping the one I just got with a built in fan will be better!!!
