When it comes to breastfeeding, the name of the game is support and comfort. From the painfully engorged early days to those late-night feeding sessions, a great nursing bra is an indispensable friend in motherhood. And with laundry and leaks, the more, the merrier.
Between internet sizing and questionable materials, it can be hard to determine which nursing bras are worth their price tags. Luckily, the nursing bra world has come a long way in the past few years — from stylish designs to comfort-driven innovation to new features for pumping. Whether you’re buying for the first time, or looking to upgrade your functional underwear, we did the research so you don’t have to. Here are our picks for 2022's top nursing bras.
The Everything Bra by Bodily
Featuring super breathable, ultra-soft, and stretchy fabric, The Everything Bra by Bodily is a comfort-centric design that’s built with real nursing moms in mind. It features nursing clips for easy access and an extended back closure to help accommodate those sometimes dramatic fluctuations in band and cup size. It was also designed with a lactation specialist, ensuring comfort and no constriction or compression, which can potentially contribute to clogged ducts and mastitis. Best of all, it’s made for 24/7 wear — including while getting precious sleep!
Kindred Bravely Sublime Hands-Free Pumping & Nursing Bra
The Sublime Hands-Free Pumping and Nursing Bra is a self-proclaimed game-changer in mom life. Designed with the patented Easyclip for supremely easy access, this bra is perfect for lounging, hands-free nursing, hands-free pumping, or all three! It’s comfortable and functional, and it has raked in more than 2,400 five-star reviews on Amazon.
