14 best nursing bras that are comfortable & stylish

A wireless style for larger busts, this bra offers a supportive and uplifted fit for mamas with up to J cups. (Just be sure to check the size chart to convert the sizing!) It’s also one of the prettiest nursing bras we’ve seen, with a lace design that’s sexy enough for date night yet comfortable enough for the inevitable post-date night feeding. (Plus-sized mamas can check out their sister line, Milkful for lacy beauties that fit up to a band size of 52.)

For those first few months postpartum when the simple thought of a bra can make you wince in pain, but the thought of not wearing a bra also sounds incredibly uncomfortable, Bodily’s The Effortless Bra is just what you’re looking for. From its clip-free design to its silky-soft fabric, every detail  is thoughtfully designed with a lactation consultant to optimize breast health and make breastfeeding as easy as possible. It’s incredibly stretchy with an extra wide band under the bust to accommodate size fluctuations without restriction. (As any mama who has ever battled engorgement or mastitis knows, a too tight bra is something to be avoided at all costs!) There’s also five clip positions at the back to provide even more size variability. When it’s time to nurse, just pull it down. The high-stretch, low-tension straps provide easy, comfortable access without compromising support. And honestly, it’s so comfy you’ll wear it long after your nursing days are over!

There’s a lengthy list of reasons to love this wireless beauty from Belabumbum. For one thing, it’s one of the softest fabrics under the sun–a major plus when everything it’s touching is oh-so-sensitive. We also love the fact it’s ultra-absorbent and moisture-wicking thanks to four-layer removable pads that aren’t bulky in the least. What’s more, it can be worn over the shoulder or racerback style making it feel less like a utilitarian nursing bra and more like your everyday favorites.

Some mamas find padded or lined bras to be a nuisance while they’re nursing because the cups have the tendency to flip back up. The B.D.A from Belly Bandit, on the other hand, features removable pads that can help absorb leaked breastmilk or be left out entirely. The classic crossover design marries style with function to make it as comfortable for sleeping as it is for daytime wear.

One of the trickiest things about shopping for nursing bras is that your size usually fluctuates postpartum. This incredibly popular wire-free style has an easy S-2XL sizing system so you don’t have to overthink it, and soft, stretchy fabric that molds to your body’s changing shape. It also has removable foam inserts for a smooth, nipple-free silhouette under T-shirts.

If you’re searching for a nursing bra that does it all, this is it. Knix combined wireless comfort and support with innovative leakproof technology to create a new mama’s dream bra. It features stretch fabric that adapts to changes in size and has thin easy-to-clasp straps so you can secure the straps with just one hand. The best part? The super absorbent removable pads means you’ll never have to worry about leaking through (did we mention it’s anti-odor and quick-dry?) 🙌

Whether you’re actually working out or just working on getting this momming thing under control, the high-impact sports bra from Sweat and Milk keeps everything in place while also providing one-handed nursing access. The sweet scallop details make this one totally acceptable as a swim top or for the days you’re hanging around the house with a constantly hungry baby and zero plans of getting dressed. It’s also compatible with Willow and Elvie pumps!

While we love the aesthetics of lace, sometimes it’s just too itchy to be worth it. Not in this case! Belabumbum’s Tallulah Lace Mesh bra features comfy cotton-lined cups and keeps the lace in just the right places. The wireless design provides shape and support while multiple hooks give you room to adjust from day-to-day.

If futzing around with clasps and snaps isn’t your thing, The So Easy Bra from Bodily makes things, well, so much easier. The stretchy bralette style is designed to simply pull down when it’s go-time, providing fuss-free access one-handed. It’s supportive without being compressive and can be worn even during the earliest days. Our favorite feature though? Aloe vera infused fabric that lovingly cares for a postpartum mama’s sensitive skin.

Large-breasted mamas know how hard it can be to find bras in their size, let alone nursing bras. This smoothing everyday bra, available in sizes 32C to 40K, will keep your boobs feeling snug and supported all day long thanks to molded cups and flexible underwire. And when your ribcage decides to return to its pre-pregnancy size, use its six-hook extension to maintain that perfect fit.

With the firm support of a sports bra and the easy-open smart clips of a nursing bra, this strappy-backed style was made for moms on the move. Moisture-wicking and fast-drying, it’ll keep you comfy while you’re running, lifting, doing yoga or dashing through the supermarket. Laser holes in the front chest and a mesh lining keep it breathable while a six-row closure offers plenty of options for fluctuating size. It’s also compatible with wearable pumps!

If underwire is a must, we recommend the 24/7 Classic Nursing Bra from Third Love. Made with modal fabric, it’s also buttery soft, and its tag-free design won’t cause any annoying itches in places you can’t reach. We think the front closure is super convenient, not only for dressing but for pumping, too.

This maternity/nursing bralette by Momcozy is buttery soft and has just the right amount of stretch to adjust to your changing breast size, while still offering support. It’s got the easy one-handed clasp and adjustable straps, but the real seller here is that this one is so seamless and smooth it feels like you’re not wearing anything at all! 

The Dream Feed Nursing and Sleep Bra by Hatch is “crazy comfy” with an easy pull-down design. Made from a soft, breathable, stretchy cotton/spandex blend, this option is great if you’re looking for a bra you can sleep in—because honestly, is there anything more precious right now than a little shut-eye?
