Nursing Bras
Bravado
- Forgiving in sizing.
- Decently supportive despite the lack of underwire.
- You can use the extender to help it fit early on, but not be too big later.
Cake Maternity
- They have a step by step guide of how to measure yourself and that was very helpful when I was ordering online.
The Dairy Fairy
- Great for larger breasts!
Nordstrom
- Will turn ANY bra into a nursing bra for a fee.
Bare Essentials
- Local, can get a fitting!
- Those ladies get all up in your boobs and fit you to perfection. I looked like a new woman when I walked out of there!
Panache
- Women’s Sophie Nursing Bra – Comfy and pretty
Freya
- Love this bra for larger breasts!
Goddess Bra
- It took me forever to find the perfect breastfeeding bra that was supportive and didn’t give the uniboob look. It is expensive, but well worth every penny. I also love this company to order online. I have had to send back ones that didn’t fit, and they were great to work with.
Anemone Women’s Bralette Sports Bra Tank Top Cami Convertible Straps
- LOVE these especially now that my son is older. I am still nursing, but like that I can get away from the typical nursing bras and their bulky straps. Not technically a nursing bra, but works like one! (Best for a smaller chest).
Pumping Bras:
Simple Wishes Supermom All-in-One Nursing and Pumping Bra
- Simple Wishes hands free pumping bra is the BEST! It works so well and is so adjustable and comfortable!
Rumina’s Classic Nursing Tank with Hands-Free Pumping Bra
- I’m large chested and in love with Rumina pumping tanks (the full coverage option)!!!!!
