Nursing bra and maternity bra

FAQ

What size nursing bra?

For a nursing bra, it is important to re-measure your size. This is because your breasts can change size during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Choose a nursing bra that fits well, with enough support, but without being too tight. Often your maternity bra size is a good basis.

Do you need a nursing bra?

Yes, a nursing bra is convenient! It provides the necessary support for your breasts and is specially designed for feeding your baby easily without having to take off your bra completely.

How does a nursing bra work?

A nursing bra has clips or adjustable straps that you can easily, with one hand, open for feeding your baby. This allows for convenience and discretion, while at the same time providing good support for your breasts.

Why wear bra?

A well-fitting bra is worn to support your breasts. With this, it can help you avoid physical complaints such as neck and back pain. A well-fitting bra does not cause stretch marks or chafing.

Which bra sizes are the same?

Bra sizes are displayed differently numbers and letters, and this varies by country. For example, the European size used by Dutch Designers Outlet is size 75B in the UK and US size 34B. In France they call this a 90B so always check the correct size for the country you are buying from.

The numbers represent the size of the bra, and the letter indicates the size of the cup. Note bras come in different models, each with its own cup and fit. So much difference in breasts, so much difference in bras.

What bra to buy during pregnancy?

Would you like to buy the most optimal bra to wear during your pregnancy? Then initially keep in mind that thin straps as well as delicate fabric may not be able to support your breasts. Are your breasts larger than E? Then it is recommended to choose a maternity bra with shoulder straps that are at least one centimeter wide. For underwire bras, they can be an excellent choice, but only when they fit well and do not pinch the breasts. Only then can you count on the best comfort and support.

When to buy maternity bra?

When you need to purchase a maternity bra varies from woman to woman. This is due to the fact that not all women's breasts grow at the same rate, on the contrary. For this reason, it is usually recommended to proceed to buy a maternity bra at the time when your regular bra no longer feels comfortable or no longer fits at all. Moreover, the breasts often become quite sensitive during pregnancy. Choosing a special maternity bra can then be especially interesting because they are known to offer more support and the fabrics ensure less irritation.

Why is a good bra important?

A good bra is important because of several reasons. First of all, the right fit can ensure that your bosom gets a firmer elevator. Moreover, it also ensures that you can count on optimal comfort throughout the day. With an optimal fit of your bra without pinching underwires or shoulder straps, you will also automatically be able to count on a significantly better posture. Add to this the fact that a good bra or beautiful lingerie in general also ensures that you can count on an elegant silhouette and it may be clear that a good bra is very important.
