Well your trained cultural analyst would like to point out that the bra 
images on the nursing bras are much larger, allowing you to see more 
details on the type of clip and how the fabric lies on the breast in 
use.  But the shot size on the website is uniform, therefore the 
closer-in framing requires the model's head disappears.

Also, it's the same model for every bra.  She's in the rest of the 
shots, with her head, in the other pics.

I think you'd need to check the hard copy printed catalogue, to see if 
the images there are decapitated.  It may be they've just had to frame 
for detail on the website.  After all, you need to see the workings on a 
nursing bra more closely, in order to choose.

On that, a clip in the cleavage would be useless for my fleshy and 
floppy pendulous mammaries.  I'd never get one back in!  (mental image 
of trying to stuff squirmy puppies into a small bag!)  :-)

On the decapitation, something I'm planning to talk about when I talk 
about the images in breastfeeding posters.  Some photos zoom in on the 
breast - and therefore portray breasts.  I like it when they do this, as 
it's a bold statement on absolute focus.  Such breasts, are breasts as 
themselves, and you are not photographing a woman - you are highlighting 
breasts.  This is one of my favourites:

Poster one isn't a decapitated woman - it's a set of breasts.  This one, 
is a decapitated woman:

I hate decapitated women.  How to express female power: reduce her to a 
sexual function and then cut her head off.
