Maternity bras
We’re here to make your life that little bit easier with comfortable, supportive and adaptive maternity bras.
What is a maternity bra?
A maternity bra is designed to support your growing and tender boobs throughout your pregnancy and beyond. Our maternity bras feature things like soft, stretchy fabrics to avoid irritation, wider straps for extra support for bigger boobs, and adjustable fits so you can adapt them as your body changes.
What does a good maternity bra need?
A good maternity bra should feature:
•Soft and stretchy fabrics. Your boobs may feel more tender while you’re pregnant and breastfeeding, so softer fabrics can help reduce irritation.
•Wider straps. Wider straps provide extra support for bigger boobs. Making sure your boobs are properly supported can also help reduce tenderness.
• Adjustable fits. Your boobs will grow and change as you progress through pregnancy – so you need a flexible bra that’s ready to adapt to every stage.
Maternity bra fitting advice
Your boob size will likely change throughout your pregnancy, so you’ll need to find a maternity bra that fits you perfectly. Our team of fitting experts are always on hand to help you and give advice. You can reach out to them online or in-store.

What are nursing bras?
Nursing bras are specially designed bras that help you comfortably and conveniently breastfeed your baby. They feature things like clips, crossover panels and drop-down cups that help with easy feeding and allow you to access your boobs with one hand while nursing.
What does a good nursing bra need?
A good nursing bra should feature:
• Easy-access features. This includes things like nursing clips and drop-down cups so you can feed your baby with one hand.
• Flexible sizing. Your boobs will change shape while you’re breastfeeding, so adjustable fits help you stay comfortable.
• Soft and non-wired lining. Non-wired nursing bras help to prevent pressure on your boobs and ease tenderness.

Nursing and Maternity Bra FAQs
Still have a few questions about maternity lingerie? Not to worry, we’ve answered a few common queries below:
When should you start wearing a maternity bra?
You should start wearing a maternity bra during your first trimester, around weeks 8 to 12. This is when hormonal changes cause your boobs to grow, feel tender, and when you might need extra support. Think about switching as soon as your regular underwire bras begin to feel uncomfortably tight or restrictive.
Do you really need a maternity bra?
Yes, most people choose to get a maternity bra. Regular bras don’t always have the necessary stretch for changing boobs. Maternity bras feature wider straps, soft linings, and extra hooks for comfort. They adapt to your growing ribcage and boobs without digging in, which also helps prevent blocked milk ducts and skin irritation.
What is the best maternity bra?
The best maternity bra is one that fits well and makes you feel as comfortable as possible. Good, supportive maternity lingerie is often wireless, seamless, and made from soft, stretchy fabric like nylon or organic cotton. You can also choose styles with adjustable fits, thicker straps and extra hooks to comfortably accommodate your body as it changes.
What is the best nursing bra for fuller busts?
The best nursing bra for big boobs is one that offers the right level of support, while still allowing you to quickly nurse when needed. Maternity bras with wider straps can help keep you comfortable and supported, and our wrap bras offer full coverage and easy access.
How many nursing bras do I need?
Everyone’s different, but you might need at least three to four breastfeeding bras so you can have a practical washing cycle. For example, one to wear, one in the wash, and one ready in the drawer. You may also want to have a dedicated, softer nursing bra for bed, for overnight comfort and leak protection.
What size nursing bra should I buy?
You may be advised to buy nursing bras when you’re around 36 weeks pregnant, as this size often closely matches your postpartum size. Choose a size that fits comfortably on the loosest hook, so the band can be tightened later as your ribcage gets smaller again after you’ve given birth. If you’re ever unsure about what size nursing or maternity bra to buy, we’d love to help – just reach out to our fitting team.
