During my last trimester of pregnancy, I have been living in nursing bras. Let’s be honest, we all know that our breasts get bigger and need some sort of support and those underwire bras are not something you want to wear, especially all day when just at home.
I have rounded up my favorite 3 nursing bras from a comfort level and from a practical point of view. I have not had my baby yet, but I can tell you that these nursing bras will be just perfect and work perfectly with the Elvie Breast Pump.
The Bravado Body Silk Seamless Nursing Bra is light weight but supportive. It is perfect for everyday use- at home, or on the go! The material molds to your shape. I removed the pads in mine (I prefer no pads in any bra). This bra unclips so that it has easy access for nursing. Follow the sizing chart- I got a size small and my chest size is a 34DD. This bra will be perfect for nursing and for pumping with the Elvie.
The Spanx Bra-Lellujah Mama Maternity/Nursing Bra is by far my favorite! The pads can be removed, but the bra still gives you the shape and support you need while not being too thin. It unclips, making it perfect for nursing. I got a size medium in this bra. I also have the non-maternity/nursing version of this bra and I love it! The fabric on this nursing bra grows with you. The back of this bra is racerback - therefor it is the best option to wear with racerback tanks. I have not found another option that is racerback, or a bra that has straps that can be convertible. Again, this bra has enough support that I can slip by Elvie Breast Pump in and pump!
The Ballet Bra by Bravado is my third favorite nursing bra. This bra is very versatile and the fabric is so soft! This bra does not come with padding, but it is double lined. The front allows easy access for nursing. While I am not pumping just yet, I did test the Elvie with the bra and it fits perfectly. This is another good option for an all day option. In this bra, I got a size small. The size chart seems deceiving, but follow it. I got this Ballet Bra in 4 colors — I love it that much! This is one that I will sleep in, too.
