Maternity Bra

One of the first things that happens during pregnancy is that the breasts become larger and the busts sensitive. Therefore, it is a good idea to get a maternity bra, so you are assured of good support for your breasts during the pregnancy period. At Mammashop, we have gathered some of the best brands of maternity bras in our assortment, so you are guaranteed high-quality support.

Why buy a maternity bra?

As mentioned, your breasts become larger and therefore also tender. They do this because the breasts begin to develop new tissue, so they are ready to start milk production. It is normal for the breasts together to increase their weight by half a kilo. Hence the tender bust.

During this period, it is a good idea to buy some new bras, as the old ones will likely not fit after a while. Fortunately, there are some really good maternity bras made that are comfortable to wear and support the right places, so the bust is not irritated during this period. Additionally, the maternity bra can also be used after childbirth.

How do I choose a good maternity bra?

When you are going out to buy a maternity bra for your waiting period, we at Mammashop believe there are some things you should look for:

Look for a couple of seamless bras. That way, you can be sure that there are no seams that irritate the tender bust. Also, try to avoid underwires in the maternity bra, as these can also be irritating to the breast.

Check if the bra has wide and adjustable straps, as this helps provide better support for the bust. Also, make sure that the maternity bra covers properly and thus supports your breasts optimally.

Try to find bras made of cotton or a cotton mix, as it is a breathable material that allows your skin to breathe and is therefore more comfortable to wear.

Find your maternity bra in the right size

During the waiting period, your bust grows, so it is naturally difficult to hit the size exactly right if the bra is to fit from start to finish. Here are a few tips:

Buy a size that fits in the innermost hole, so there is room to grow.

The maternity bra should be made of elastic material so that it can follow the bust throughout the period.
