The importance of a good nursing bra can’t be overstated. And the best ones need to do a few things: be comfy, be practical, and make you feel pretty. Because let’s be honest, breastfeeding and pumping don’t always check all those boxes. To get you the best intel, we went straight to the source: We’ve gathered real-woman opinions on some of the best nursing bras (and tanks) around.
ThirdLove 24/7 Nursing Bra
“This bra clasps in the front and also has nursing clasps on the straps. I wear it when I want to feel like I’m wearing a non-nursing bra but still [need to have] nursing access.” — Grace, mom of oneStorq Full Cup Bra
“As a fashion editor, I got a ton of pitches for maternity wear while I was pregnant, so I can safely say that I tried most of the nursing and sleep bras on the market. Without a doubt, the best style I wore (and continue to wear) has been the Storq full coverage nursing bra. The wide band below the cups does a surprisingly good job supporting me while I sleep and nurse. The band doesn’t roll up or shift while I sleep (a marvel given the fact that I am a 34DDD) and the wire-free coverage even contains unwanted side boob.” — Zoey, mom of oneKindred Bravely The Simply Sublime Nursing & Maternity Sports Bra
“I love anything by Kindred Bravely, especially their cotton sports bra and French Terry Sleep Bra. Both are great for living in and sleeping in.” — Laura Chase, mom of oneH&M MAMA Nursing Tank Tops
“I used these tanks in lieu of a nursing bra because they’re comfy and ridiculously accessible. They’re also great under sweaters and they provide good belly coverage when breastfeeding, too!” — Jonna, mom of twoNatori Bliss Perfection Racerback Day Bra
This super soft wireless bra is perfect for nursing day or night (it's cozy enough to sleep in), and may be your go-to post-nursing too.
Lively The Mesh Trim Maternity Bralette
“While breastfeeding my second child, I wanted something that was less utilitarian than the unflattering tank bras I relied on with my first. I think these bralettes are the perfect combo of pretty and practical. They’re also lightly supportive, provide full coverage, and offer easy access.” — Jess, mom of twoChantelle Merci Lightweight Nursing Bra
“For an underwire style, do yourself a favor and invest in this bra. Many people told me to go for less expensive styles under the guise that you won’t be using them very long… 100 percent false. This bra is the closest you will get to feeling like your best self while nursing.” — ZoeyStorq Everyday Bra
“This bra is in my top three. It’s not super supportive, but I like the easy pull-away access.” — Grace
