Nursing Bras Measuring Guide

Some women may find their nursing bra getting snug just a few months into pregnancy because the maternity bras made by most companies are exactly the same as their nursing bras, except for the opening cups of the nursing style. Nursing mothers who buy maternity bras will have to buy, essentially, the same bra again. Consider purchasing a nursing bra even if you are undecided about breastfeeding, or intend to use an artificial baby milk.

Fit, how the cup conforms to the shape of the breast, is the most important consideration when choosing a nursing bra. Fitting may be difficult because breasts are rarely symmetrical in size and shape. Most women increase one size in girth and one size in cup size, but again, there are no guarantees. Most nursing bras have the extra support built in whether softcup or underwire.

 

        Welcome to the fitting room! Measure:

1.    Under your arms above the breasts, is the band size, the number of the bra size.

2.    Around back at fullest part of the breast.

3.   Subtract these numbers. Each inch is a cup size 1=a 2=b 3=c, etc.

 

 

Remember these points:

*       The average increase is one size larger girth and one cup size

*       Ordering 2-3 bras will give you the best chance of finding a good fit.

The most popular fabric for nursing bras is cotton. The style of opening is secondary to the fit.
