When to start wearing a maternity or nursing bra?
In general, it is recommended to start wearing a maternity bra from the fourth month of pregnancy. During this period, the breasts begin to grow and your usual bra may no longer be comfortable enough.
Maternity bra:
- Choose a circumference size larger than your usual bra.
- Cups should be comfortable and supportive, but not too tight.

Nursing bra:
- Buy a nursing bra before giving birth.
- We recommend going one size larger in circumference and one cup size larger than your pre-pregnancy bra in anticipation of breast growth during breastfeeding.

Consider the variations in the measures:
Remember that breast size can change considerably during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Choose bras with adjustable options to adapt to your needs at all times.
Comfort is key:
In addition to size, comfort is key. Opt for bras made of soft, natural, breathable materials, with gentle elastic bands that won't cause chafing or discomfort.
Adjustable options for a custom fit:
Look for bras with adjustable hook-and-eye closures at the back, adjustable straps, and stretchable cups to perfectly fit your ever-changing body.
