Since becoming pregnant for the first time in 2021, I have tried a lot of nursing bras – I’ve tried crop top-esque bras, padded bras, non-padded flimsier material bras.

The thing is, finding the perfect nursing bra is tough because you’re working with something that is changing shape and size ALL the time.

TMI but I feel like we need to discuss it for the sake of this article, when my boobs are full of milk they are what I can only describe as Hulk-full.

And when they’ve been emptied well, they’re more like a balloon that’s been left to sit around for a month.

All of this is to say that finding a bra that holds them at their fullest, and also at their emptiest, can be tricky territory.

I’ve had so many bras from a range of high street stores where I’ve been feeling pretty comfortable and smug as they’ve kept me nicely contained when my boobs have been full.

But then post-breastfeed I’ve bent down to pick up a toy or my child and my empty boob has simply plopped out of the cup.

Some bras haven’t kept me contained at either point in my milk cycle.

There’s also the matter of bra thickness because if you wear a tight t-shirt and you’ve got a breast pad in your bra, ideally you don’t want people to be seeing the outline of your bra, the breast pad, and then your nipple through the top. (Well, I personally didn’t anyway.)
