Maternity Bras - Underwear Online

Buy Maternity Bras Online at:

What with the morning sickness and cravings for iron filings and custard, the last thing you need when you’re pregnant is the hassle of searching for a good maternity bra. But a good maternity bra is absolutely essential to your comfort as select bits of your body begin to swell to hitherto undreamt-of proportions.

There’s good news and bad news. The bad news is that maternity and nursing bras are, like other kinds of larger bra, not always the easiest thing to find in the high street. Particularly if you want one that doesn’t look like a catapult sling.

The good news is that the situation is improving all the time, and the extra good news is the advent of internet shopping – a particular godsend to mums-to-be-very-soon who can’t face the backache of a trawl round the mall.

Online specialists and department stores such as John Lewis stock maternity bras, but some of the more attractive designer versions such as Wacoal, Elle MacPherson and Emma Jane may not suit you size-wise as they generally reach an F-cup at the most. Bravissimo, the specialist plus-size bra company, stocks a Royce nursing bra which goes up to a more-than-generous L-cup – look in the ‘sports and soft cup’ section on www.bravissimo.com for other styles.

The company also has shops in Cambridge, Leeds, London Covent Garden, London Ealing, Manchester, Newcastle, Oxford and Solihull. It’s always important to wear the right bra size – never more so than when you’re pregnant or have recently given birth. The usual tips apply before the birth – make sure the cup fits properly against your chest and is not wrinkly in any area, make sure the back strap doesn’t ride up (if it does, go for a bigger back size but remember that cup size increases proportionately), make sure the shoulder straps don’t dig in, and wear a cup without underwires because they will rub.

Buying a nursing bra adds a few extra considerations. Firstly, wait until you’re almost at full term to buy it because it is important that the bra is not too tight. But try it on at the largest back setting to allow for the inches you will lose from your chest over the coming weeks. It’s a good idea to have a few nursing bras, but get new ones after six months when your size has changed.
