Welcome to our ultimate guide on selecting the perfect maternity and nursing bra! As you navigate this beautiful journey into motherhood, we understand how important it is to find bras that offer uncompromising comfort, support, and leakproof protection.
Support
Did you know that the majority of a bra's support comes from the band under the breast, not the straps or cups? Something you might not know is it is important to avoid wearing underwire bras as they can potentially affect milk drainage and overall breast health. Underwire bras can compress breast tissue, potentially leading to blocked milk ducts, mastitis (inflammation of the breast tissue), and discomfort while nursing.
But support is still really important – take it from a usually flat chested girlie, don't underestimate how big your girls might get! That's why it's essential to invest in a bra with a high-quality, adjustable band that can adapt to your changing body throughout pregnancy and beyond.
Comfort
Now, let's talk comfort. During this delicate time, finding soft, gentle fabrics against your skin is crucial for avoiding irritation and protecting sensitive nipples. Look for bras made with moisture-wicking, breathable materials that allow flexibility as your body fluctuates.
Functionality
But comfort can't come at the cost of poor functionality. That's why easy nursing access is essential – opt for smart clip-down cups that seamlessly facilitate breastfeeding without fiddly shoulder straps getting in the way.
Leakproofing
This was not something that existed when Sarah and I fed our babies but it was such a game changer concept and the reason the brand was born. I actually chopped up period undies and had my mum sew them into bralettes just to get a taste for the freedom a leakproof bra would bring. They stop leaks, there is no need for disposable pads or extra washing and it is a real game changer and confidence booster!
Fabric Quality
Finally, prioritise quality fabric technology that enhances health and comfort. Our bras use natural zinc oxide for antibacterial protection and skin-friendly benefits like UV shielding and odour control. This gentle yet high-performance approach supports overall breast wellness through the postpartum journey.
So there you have it – everything you need to find that perfect maternity and nursing bra fit. During this transformative chapter, you deserve superior comfort, support, and intuitive functionality that accommodates your evolving needs. Remember, investing in yourself is just as important as stocking up on baby essentials!
