19 stylish swimsuits that make nursing a breeze

With a retro feel and irresistible pops of color, we’re stone cold obsessed with Boden’s Piped Sporty Swimsuit. And even though we’re likely doing more snuggling thank snorkeling, the style equally adept at both activities. The wide cut under the arms is super flattering and the half zip keeps the girls supported and easy to access. What more can you ask for?

Like your favorite nursing bra, this clever design from Seraphine features hidden clips that provide easy access for discreet feeding and wide, comfy straps that won’t dig into your shoulders. Paired with the matching foldover bottoms it’s sporty, cute and honestly, no one would ever know it’s maternity!

After launching swim a couple years ago, Kindred Bravely instantly became a go-to for nursing swimwear. (No surprise since they always knocked it out of the park with maternity and nursing clothes!) Designed for all stages of pregnancy and postpartum, this sweetly feminine number features some clever construction to make it both functional and stylish. There’s an inner layer with a nursing-friendly crossover cut covered by an outer layer that wraps around the bust and ties at the side, ruching to accommodate a fluctuating belly, and UPF 50 sun protection. The result? A gorgeous wrap-effect that effortlessly stuns.

By nature, swimsuits are generally easy to whip a boob out of—meaning you don’t necessarily have to invest in a special “never to be worn after this season” suit. The aptly named Plunge suit from Summersalt is a fab style for nursing since you can slip the top to the side and get down to business.

When you’re nursing, you likely don’t want to slather your upper body with sunscreen. Luckily, rash guard styles like this one from UV Skinz offer plenty of sun protection (UPF 50 in this case!) as well as easy breastfeeding access. The internal shelf bra and padded cups provide ample support and the zip front top makes even pumping a breeze.

If you’re looking for a short-sleeve option, this wallet-friendly version from Amazon’s best-selling Cupshe brand checks all the same boxes. It comes in a variety of colorful patterns to choose from.

Bless the return of the high-waisted bikini. With its 1950s vibe and tummy-flattering rise, it’s totally timeless IMHO. This super chic two piece is made to rock through pregnancy and postpartum, with ruched bottoms that accommodate a baby belly (or not!) and clip release top that makes nursing a breeze. Nursing mamas will also appreciate the customizable fit—it features adjustable straps and a tie back to tailor to your exact needs (even if they change by the hour.)

This top-rated suit is a favorite among postpartum nursing mamas for its generous and easy to manipulate halter-style top and budget-friendly price point. Best of all, if you love it, there’s a ton of colors and patterns to stock up on.

If you’re a shift to the side kind of mom, this popular flutter sleeve two-piece will be your jam. Not only is the top absolutely adorable, the high-waisted bottoms offer a solid amount of booty and belly coverage if that’s what you’re looking for!

Are you sitting down? I have news. Not only is this absolutely perfect suit designed for discreet and comfortable nursing sessions–it also has pockets. Yes, actual pockets that can hold things like your phone! Pacifiers! Whatever rocks your toddler picks up and insists on keeping but won’t hold themselves! The bold, color-blocked suit comes in four color/pattern options and with so much to offer, we wouldn’t blame you for buying at least a couple.

As much as you’d love to float around all day, chances are you’ve got other duties to attend to. This multipurpose tank effortlessly transitions from the pool to the grocery store and back again, saving you the trouble of a wardrobe change. Designed for both nursing and pumping, it’s versatile and totally discreet. We also love the size inclusivity which includes a range of S-3X.

Splash, order some poolside fries and nurse without missing a beat in this super adjustable number from luxe, mama-focused brand Moloco. Featuring their patented hidden nursing panel that’s as stealth as they come, absolutely no one would peg this for a nursing swimsuit. A good thing too, considering you’re not going to want to stop wearing it once your babe ditches the boob. It comes in a few more neutral solids, but we’re really tempted by this 90s-inspired neon color block that keeps things fun and fresh.

Tankini-style tops were made for busy mamas! This double-layer tank lifts up for easy boob access via a criss-cross design underneath, but if you wear it while cruising down the boardwalk, no one would even know. It features an adjustable clip back so you can get the perfect fit.

We’re super pumped (pun intended) that boob, the brand responsible for one of the most comfortable nursing bras ever, has finally launched swimwear! They took their best-selling 24/7 bra and constructed it of ECONYL®, a yarn made from regenerated nylon waste and old fishing nets. The cups feature a double layer and wrap cut and the material itself provides built-in 50 SPF sun protection.

Launched by two moms that wanted to create stylish suits that actually work for motherhood, Raising Wild has become a go-to for mamas in all stages.

The classic black maillot gets a nursing-friendly update with a convenient row of snaps! The sporty-cum-sexy Malibu from Andie is bringing me all the Body Glove 80’s vibes with a sophisticated twist. And with maximum bust support, removable soft cups and 50+ UPF sun protection, it’s ready for whatever adventure you are. (Even if that’s lounging poolside with chips, salsa and a hungry babe.)

Simple, sleek and impressively functional, this is the LRD (little RED dress) of nursing-friendly swimsuits. The halter panel can be released one-handed to provide discreet breastfeeding access. It also comes in black in case you’re more of an LBD kinda gal.
