It’s best to try to wait until as late as possible in your pregnancy to buy a nursing bra – ideally until after your 36th or 37th week of pregnancy. While it’s great to plan ahead, there’s no way of telling what size you are going to be after your baby has been born so you may well need to re-assess! Don’t forget that we offer an express delivery service, so we can get bras to you very quickly if you need a different style or size - or if you have an unexpected early arrival!

If you choose to breastfeed we’d advise wearing a non-wired nursing bra for at least four weeks after the birth of your baby. After that you can stick to wearing non-wired or choose to wear a flexi-wired or underwired nursing style (unless you have been given specific medical advice to avoid wires). Some women prefer nursing bras with flexi-wires as they find them a little more supportive and that they give better separation and shape. Once you stop breastfeeding and your milk has gone, or the size of your boobs has stopped changing so much, you can choose to return to underwired styles.
