What is the best time to purchase a maternity bra?
A question that pops into our inbox from time to time is ‘what is the best time to purchase a maternity bra?’ It’s a good question! When you’re pregnant it can feel like a total information overload, so we’re happy to help answer this.
So, when is a good time to buy a maternity bra?
Everyone is a little different, which means there is no set time to buy a maternity bra. You’ll notice that your regular bras will no longer fit you and will start to feel uncomfortable. We suggest that you get fitted (or fit yourself) for a maternity bra as soon as you find out your pregnant. Your body will start changing in ways you never thought possible (we’ve been there too!) and it’s always best to be prepared!
Unlike a regular bra, a maternity bra is designed to adapt to these changes. We’ve designed all of our maternity bras from stretchy fabrics that allow them to do this, whilst giving you as much support as we possibly can.
However, normal bras are not designed with this need for flexibility in mind. As your ribcage expands and your boobs shoot up a cup size (or more!), a regular bra can cause all kinds of problems for you. Aside from being extremely uncomfortable, the underwire can cause serious problems as your milk ducts develop, which could lead to mastitis.
