What to look for when choosing

Special underwear for nursing women simplifies the process of feeding, and a special cut avoids problems with the mammary glands. Securely holds, but does not compress, unlike conventional bodices.

Ideally, it is better to buy several sets of underwear at once, of different models. For the home, thin ones, made of cotton or elastic knitwear, are suitable.For going out (at least for training, at least to the nearest store), it is better to choose models made of elastane with a duplicated cup - they are tighter and more secure.

In order not to miss the size, it is worth choosing underwear in the last stages of pregnancy - the mammary glands will gradually increase. Buy underwear "for growth" is not worth it. It is better to buy another bra when the milk starts to arrive - the breasts during this period can increase by a couple of sizes.
In addition, you should pay attention to the following features:

1. Straps - should be wide, adjustable in length. When trying on, check that the straps do not press - ideally, the bra should be held on the chest, thanks to the belt. Otherwise, the entire load will fall on the shoulder girdle.
2. The cup should be unfastened and securely fixed on the clasp, not “fly off” from any random movement. As for the type of attachment, it all depends on personal preferences. Someone likes standard buttons, someone likes hooks or special clips.
3. The belt should be wide, without coarse seams, labels. And so that he does not rub, choose underwear that matches the volume.
   The fewer seams, the better. When choosing, pay attention to the quality of the stitching, the threads should not stick out.
4. The fabric is ideally cotton. But the only drawback of such models is the rapid deformation, literally after a few washes the linen loses its appearance. Elastane underwear is more practical, dries quickly, and is easy to wash. But at the same time, the cups in any case should be duplicated from the inside with cotton fabric.
5. If you value comfort and practicality, choose microfiber models. The fabric "breathes", does not constrain movements and is comfortable to wear.
6. Simple models, without cups, are suitable for the home. With the support of the chest, a regular sports-style top will cope. Most importantly, pay attention to the composition of the fabric. No push-pas and foam inserts. They harm lactation and squeeze.
7. The owner of a large breast needs models with bones, preferably semi-rigid.
8. When buying, pay attention to the cut. For women with a small bust, models with cups with a clasp at the top are suitable.

Regardless of the cost of the bra, it is worth buying additional special inserts - you will have to wash your underwear less often.

Where to buy, prices

In specialized stores or online sites. As for the price, there is a big difference. Unpretentious models will cost up to 500 rubles. Expensive - depending on the manufacturer.

When ordering online, pay attention to reviews, preferably detailed (mini-reviews) with photos of real buyers.

When buying in a regular store, be sure to measure underwear. Check the quality of the seams (they should not be too rough). For owners of small breasts, seamless pitted models are suitable. For a heavy bust, it is better to choose a bra with underwire and a duplicated (molded) cup.

How to wear a bra while breastfeeding

There are no special secrets. The only problem is the leaked milk, which can stain not only linen, but also clothes. To prevent this from happening, it is worth buying inserts (sold in any pharmacy).

As for the choice of underwear, rely on your own feelings. During the fitting, move around, raise your hands - if the belt does not rise, nothing presses anywhere - you can safely take it.

A few simple recommendations to help you choose good underwear:

1. The model should sit tight, but not tighten the skin.
2. It is better to look at linen with wide straps and a belt. It is comfortable to wear and provides proper breast support. A large amount of decor looks beautiful, but often rubs and injures the delicate skin of the chest.
3. Pay attention to composition. It's okay if the fabric is mixed - from natural and artificial fibers. The first will provide comfort, the second - elasticity and a good fit.
4. Select the model according to the size.

Nursing underwear is not distinguished by an abundance of decor, lace, but it provides comfort and convenience.
