Maternity Bra Guide

Maternity and Nursing Bras

Maternity Bras - for wear during pregnancy

During pregnancy the breast tissue grows and changes and your underband measurement will increase. It is best to buy your maternity bra at about 4 months, ensuring it fits you on the tightest clasp so it can be loosened as the size increases. Don't go for underwired as it may become uncomfortable, and cotton is the best material for keeping you cool.

Nursing Bras - for wear during breast feeding

It is best to buy your nursing bra during the final months of your pregnancy. Choose a bra that fits on the loosest hook so you can tighten it after the baby is born. Ensure there is plenty of room in the cup for when you are breastfeeding, and that the feeding opening provides good access.
