9 Nursing Bras That Don't Look Like Nursing Bras

by Olivia Youngs

One of my biggest fears after becoming a mom (OK, not the biggest, but up there on the list) was that I'd be restricted to wearing "mom clothes." Fashion is an amazing form of self expression, and I was worried that between my changing body and breastfeeding my daughter I would never be able to find anything stylish ever again. Including my lingerie. Seriously, finding nursing bras that don't look like nursing bras is a tough order. It seems most options are frumpy, boring, and have about as much lift as wrapping a single piece of fabric around your boobs.

Luckily, brands are catching on that new moms want clothes that make them look and feel as good as they deserve to — and that extends to their underwear too. There are actually a lot of beautiful bras out there specifically designed with nursing in mind that don't look like something your great aunt would want to wear too.

So if you, like me, suffer from a phobia of an ugly postpartum wardrobe, add a few of these nursing bras to your closet. Because if what's under your clothes makes you feel great, the rest of your clothes are sure to follow suit.

7
