Promising review: "So I ordered these for my daughter, she loved the way they fit. They're comfy and the material was really nice. She said they adjust pretty well to fit her now while pregnant; but still gave her room to grow for nursing. We went off the size chart that they provided, because they stated that they would still have room to adjust, which was true. She loved the additional pieces they also provided, that would allow her to add a couple more inches around if needed. When I ordered them was worried about the pink color, she is not necessarily a pink fan. But, she said that it was actually a nice soft color, not bold at all. I loved the cost for the amount we received. It's frustrating because when you become pregnant everything can be so expensive. It's nice to be able to find good quality and a reasonable price." —Hicks

Get it from Amazon $27.98+ (available in sizes S–XXL and five pack varities).

Promising reviews: "I love this bra so much I got a second one, even after I finished nursing! It's very comfy and as supportive as you'd want in a simple triangle bra." —Casey S.

"So soft and with plenty of stretch for growth and change! It will be perfect for easy, pull aside nursing, too...Definitely will be purchasing more of these for comfort and getting the job done when baby shows up! Thanks Storq for making practical, comfortable, 'help you feel like your normal self' maternity and nursing clothes!" —Katherine H.

Get it from Storq for $48 (available in sizes 1 [fits 30A]– 5 [fits 42D] and four colors).

Promising reviews: "Finally a nursing bra that fits snug enough on the band but still offers full coverage on my boobs! I'm a 32i and until now I hadn't found a bra that accommodates all of these needs. I'm still pregnant but going to wear it anyway because it's SUPER comfy! Yay!!!" —Courtney

"Most comfortable nursing bra I own. This is the second one I've ordered since I found myself wearing my first one so much. These bras are so very soft and comfortable, my favorite to sleep in, and very easy to slip my boob out for breastfeeding... These are great for putting reusable bra pads in. It helps that they're cute too (my husband likes them). Do yourself a favor if you're breastfeeding and get this!!!" —Erin

Get it from $32.99+ (available in sizes XS–1X, in regular and busty fits, and 13 colors).

These awesome bras are made by a small, woman-owned business called Pepper!

Promising review: "FEELS BETTER THAN GOING WITHOUT A BRA! The sizing guide, first of all, is flawless. I am in love with this fit and style. The fabric feels like a dream, and the gentle support makes wearing this nursing bra feel better than going without a bra! I just had my seventh baby, and I keep remarking to my husband ‘where has this bra been my whole life??’ There are no nursing bras that even closely compare to this dream cloud of a bra. I don't want to take it off! Oh, and there are no nip-slips at night either! I use a bra to keep my nursing pads in place, and have often had to wear a tight tank top over it to keep it from sliding, but with this bra I could wear it and nothing else for a comfortable night's sleep. I am in love, and will be ordering more. I do hope more colors are released though!" —Samantha Jackson

Get it from Pepper for $50 (available in sizes XXS [fits 30A] –XL [fits 40A] and in two colors).

Promising review: "Very happy with this bra, this is my second time purchasing it. Old one lasted through three years of breastfeeding plus being worn near the end of all my pregnancies. Always washed and dried it in the machine and it's only now finally starting to get too stretched out. Very comfortable to wear, doesn't leave unsightly seam lines under my clothes, gives decent support for an underwire-less bra, and it's easy to unclasp/clasp one handed for feeding. Highly recommend." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $24.50+ (available in sizes XS–1X and 22 colors).

BTW, this bra runs a tad small and Momanda suggests sizing up one band size.

Promising review: "This is my third time breastfeeding and I wish I knew about these bras earlier. They make me feel normal and not like a milk machine! I’ve already gotten compliments and questions on where they are from. I have three but will definitely buy more." —Emily Opperman

"I love the supportive lace plunge nursing bra! Not only is it cute, but it is actually comfortable. Love that it comes with an extender piece for those of us that carry higher but will not like be needed when baby is born." —J Michener

Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in sizes 32A–40E and 22 colors) or straight from Momanda for $24 (available in sizes 32A–40E and 20 colors).

Promising review: "[This bra] actually fits large sizes! It is extremely hard to find bras that fit and support my size. I'm a 38 I after my last pregnancy. And if I find one that fits cup wise, they have no support. This one has both and I'm so glad I found this company. Not to mention it's a nursing bra!" —Kayla

Get it from Bare Necessities for $59 (available in sizes 32C–44I and three colors).

Promising review: "I love the accessibility and flexibility for pumping. The bra is incredibly comfortable and very supportive. I’ve bought several over this period of time and many more in the past since this is my third child... I can see now compared to what I’ve purchased this time around that this one is much more supportive and very comfortable. It also looks really good under a shirt." —Darla & Scott

Promising review: "100 OUT OF 10. I gave birth to my first child this past [year] and have been using this bra EVER SINCE I began pumping. BEST DECISION I HAVE EVER MADE!!!! Absolutely comfortable and extremely soft yet very supportive. I’m a 34DDD/36DD and the support on the back and shoulders is so comfortable that I forget it's even on. The ease of access to quickly and comfortably feed my son or pump is [awesome]...WORTH EVERY PENNY!! This is coming from a new mom who wants comfort, style, ease of access, and practically." —Kristina V.

Get it from Skims for $42 (available in sizes S–5X and eight colors).

Promising review: "This bra is a lot thicker than I expected which I prefer! It's super comfy and feels like it will grow with me during pregnancy. Excited to use the features for pumping and nursing which is why I bought this one for maternity. It also came with the extra support halter which I thought came separately so that was awesome!...Overall very pleased." —Britney Park

Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes 30A–44F, four colors, and three 2-pack options).

This bra also has removable padding!

Promising review: "Amazing. I’m so glad I took a chance on these. I’m 21 weeks pregnant and I was so sick of buying sports bras in a bigger size. I knew I’d need nursing bras eventually and the colors of these caught my eye...Full coverage and they come with extenders; the straps adjust to the front." —Shannon Lang

Get a pack of five from Amazon for $35.99 (available in S–XXL and in nine different color combinations).

Promising review: "I’m super happy with this bra! I’ve really had trouble finding a nursing bra that has enough support for wearing all day without the underwire that just digs in and hurts. The straps on this bra are set wide enough so it's easy to get a boob out for nursing, and I like that there's just enough padding to hide the nips." —Marin F.

Get it from Bare Necessities for $55 (available in band sizes 32B–42G and two colors).

BTW multiple reviewers have called this bra the best sports bra ever. 👀

Promising reviews: "Love this bra! Wonderful support without feeling like I'm being suffocated. I love the adjustable straps for both comfort and nursing...I love that I don't have to change my bra after a workout to feed my baby. Highly recommend!" —Kt

"YOUR BOOBS NEED THIS. I have a small ribcage and large chest (I’m a 32 F-FF) and have been looking for a bra for AGES. I just spent $85 on a sports bra from Bare Necessities and it was god awful, so I decided to try this cost-friendly option as a placeholder until I could find a good quality bra that did the job... I don't need to keep shopping because this bra is AMAZING! The quality is so good for the price, the material is thick and has very light padding (just enough to make sure your nip nops don't show through) and I love that it's both adjustable in the straps and the back. It really holds everything in place while working out! I am buying another now...I had a baby recently and love that I can also easily nurse with the Velcro straps." —Christel Longo

Get it from Amazon for $28 (available in sizes 32B–44F and 19 colors/patterns).

Promising review: "Small waist, big cups approved!... I'm 6 months postpartum and exclusively breastfeeding/pumping and I ended up buying four... they're the only bra I wear now. The bra is wireless, super comfortable, launders well, and has held its shape. The clips are easy enough to do with one hand and they're top to bottom hook mechanism vs sliding from one side (like my other bra was and was confusing in the middle of the night half sleeping), so it's easy to unclip and clip middle of the night and in the dark. There's a small piece of fabric that still holds support when it's unclipped so your [breasts] aren't all wild and out of control. I never found a pumping bra I liked, so I use this one and just hold the containers...Overall, the nursing bra I recommend to my friends or when people ask what's best." —Brittany V.

Get it from Gap for $49.95 (available in sizes XXS–XXL and three colors).

Promising review: "I am obsessed! These are the comfiest bras I’ve ever worn! I sleep so comfortably in them. They make nursing in the middle of the night a breeze too. They give my boobs a chance to breathe yet they give me the support I need. I am 5’2", about 170–175, and I'm one month postpartum. The large fits perfect and stretches nicely on me." —Jaclyn Aguinaga

Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in sizes S–L and two colors).

Promising reviews: "This bra was perfect for before baby, maternity, AND nursing. It's super comfortable." —FamilyHomeAdventure

"I saw this on a BuzzFeed article for people with big boobs and I thought it was too good to be true. As someone who has been inconvenienced with 46Gs I wish I could go braless during the summer without massive sweat. When it arrived I thought there was no way this tiny thing was going to fit Olga and Brunhilda. Thankfully, I was wrong! It's so comfortable it gives shape without having the traditional bra nonsense, and NO UNDERBOOB SWEAT! It's great to hang out in at home or wear begrudgingly to the store. I'm 100% going to buy more!" —Tucker

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in sizes 34B–48G and 13 colors).

Promising review: "I tried three different brands before finding this bra, and I am in love. The soft fabric forms to my fluctuating breast size (breastfeeding, am I right?). It's easy to clip on and off. The fabric is soft and comfortable, which I think is a kind way to tend to me when most of my energy is poured into my little love." —Alyssa

Get it from Lively for $38 (available in sizes 1 [fits 32DD] –3 [fits up to 40DD] and five colors).

Bodily is a Brooklyn-based woman-owned brand founded by Tovah Haim and was inspired by Haim's unexpectedly intense recovery after her first born in 2017. The brand's goal is to be a dedicated resource for maternal health!

Promising review: "It's seriously the best. I was never a bralette girl. Always an underwire and padding girl. But the changes postpartum are [intense] and this is THE BEST bra! I get clogs if I wear anything else. Here's hoping the stage 2 is even better!" —Bodily Customer

Get it from Bodily for $48 (available in sizes S–XL and five colors).

FYI, these are included in Prime Try Before You Buy so you can give them a trial run if you're a member!

Promising review: "This bra is great if you are busty like me! I have bought about a dozen nursing bras and this one is definitely the best!! Great hold, good quality and doesn't give my breasts a weird shape. I was a 36DDD before pregnancy and got a 36HH and it fit perfectly. Highly recommend." —Happytatashappymama

Get it from Nordstrom, Bare Necessities, or Amazon for $70 (available in sizes 32F–44K and in colors black and pink).

Note: some reviewers suggest sizing down.

Promising review: "A BIG YES!!!!! I have four of them now!... My baby came five weeks early and is in NICU so my goal has been to get him liquid gold. I’ve pumped twice now while wearing this bra and can only say positive things. The suction cups do not move even if I walk a few steps. The support is incredible — better than any bra I’ve owned... I couldn't be happier!" —Chacha

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in three colors).

Promising review: "This is my favorite nursing bra. Super comfy but still cute. Supportive, I like to crisscross the straps. I love that the padding is not removable." —SLP Ninja

Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes S–XXL, in regular and busty fits, and in colors black and pink).

Promising review: "The best maternity bra. I would say this bra is medium coverage and perfect. I feel like my growing breasts are very secure and won't fall out. This bra is COMFY, and a little sexy which is a nice change from the basic nursing bras." —Michelle Lyn

Get it from Amazon for $33.99 (available in sizes S–3X and five colors).
