I?ve been nursing for almost 3 years now, and to be honest, nursing bras aren?t all that great. Really. I miss my old bras. Not old as in aged, but old as in pre-nursing. They?re all carefully placed in a drawer waiting for the day to be worn again. Ha. And I have some good quality bras, too. So different than a lot of the nursing bras I?ve used. The quality just isn?t there. And I think a lot of that has to do with the assumption that they won?t be used for a long time so that aspect is skimped on. My nursing bras get A LOT of use ? and I?ve had to ?retire? quite a few of them. So are you in the market to purchase some nursing bras or replace some of your worn out ones? I?ve got a few tips for buying nursing bras ? and I?d love to tell you all about a great one I?ve found!
- Only purchase 1 nursing bra pre-birth -?I know that this sounds like a hassle, but you?re not going to know what size you need until your milk comes in several days after birth. So just buy 1 bra ? like a nursing sleep bra ? to use while you?re in the?hospital?(or at home if that?s where you gave birth). The sleep bras are comfortable, they?re stretchy, and there?s no underwire to worry about if you have engorgement.?
- Get fitted for the correct size -?Whether you measure yourself or have a professional do it, you?ll want to make sure you?re getting the right size. Don?t just guess! Your boobs will be a totally different size and may change sizes through your time nursing. The correct size will aid in comfort, support, and will help you avoid clogged milk ducts and mastitis.
- You really only need 3 -?One to wear, one in the wash, and one on standby. If you know you?re not good at keeping up with laundry ? then buy more! But you don?t HAVE to.
- Quality over quantity -?Like I mentioned above, you really only need 3 bras. Spend the money to get some really good, high quality bras that will last through multiple children. Don?t skimp on quality so you can purchase more. Because trust me ? you?ll spend more money in the long run having to replace them.
- Go for style -?You don?t have to purchase bland, ugly nursing bras. There?s a ton on the market that are sexy and stylish ? like the one I was sent from You! Lingerie. A little pink bow will go a long way to improve your mood during those long days and nights of feeding a baby non-stop.
- Care for them -?Don?t just throw your delicate nursing bras in with your regular laundry! Keep them lasting longer by washing them in a mesh lingerie bag on the delicate cycle, then air dry.
I seriously wish all my nursing bras were from You! Lingerie. They?re made exceptionally well, give me a ton of support (and cleavage), and they?re just so pretty. The hot pink just really makes it. And that?s totally what I look like when I wear it (minus the pregnant belly ? hehe).
The prettiness doesn?t take anything away from it?s performance. It functions perfectly as a nursing bra. Easy to clip/unclip for nursing, nicely padded cups for support and comfort, and the typical lining that holds a nursing pad in place. It took me a few wears to get used to the cup padding, as it?s a little thicker than my other bras. I kind of have to fold it down while nursing or it gets in the way. No big deal. And now I don?t even think about it.
You can purchase these cute nursing bras from the You! Lingerie Website for $38 or from selected retailers. You can even buy matching panties! The quality is exceptional and the price isn?t even that bad!
