As a new mom, a nursing and pumping bralette should be a wardrobe staple because it combines the comfort of a traditional bralette with the functionality needed for breastfeeding or pumping. Learn more about a maternity bralette and how it can help with your postpartum journey.

What is a Nursing Bralette?

A nursing bralette is a type of bra designed for breastfeeding moms. It combines the comfort and ease of a traditional bralette with features that make nursing more convenient. Wearing a comfortable and flexible bra is important for making nursing and pumping more seamless, especially for busy moms on the go. Which is why the Larken X was named one of the Best Hands-Free Pumping Bras for Multi-Tasking Moms by What to Expect!

Benefits of Nursing Bralettes

We focus on comfort, durability, and sustainability, which is why the Larken X is loved by our customers. This all-in-one nursing and hands-free pumping bralette is made with lightweight buttery smooth stretch fabric so that it can adapt to your changing breast size. This adaptability means you're less likely to need multiple sizes as your body changes postpartum. The buttery soft feel of the fabric makes our nursing bralette great for all-day wear and even when you sleep. This comfort factor is especially important in the early days of breastfeeding when your breasts may be particularly tender.

Choosing a Nursing and Pumping Bralette

Selecting the right nursing and pumping bralette involves considering several factors. First and foremost is fit. A well-fitting bralette should provide adequate support without being too tight or restrictive. The Larken X is designed for easy-access whether you are nursing or pumping, which can be game-changer when you're out and about or trying to nurse a hungry baby in the middle of the night. It’s also wire-free and doesn't have any clips, elastic, or zippers that can catch on clothes, pinch, or cause you or your baby discomfort. Here’s a measuring guide to see which size you’ll need.

Sleep in Comfort

The Larken X is so comfortable, you can wear it day and night and it won’t even feel like you’re sleeping in a bra. It provides light support and is moisture wicking to keep you dry and cool. Learn more about the benefits of wearing a nursing bralette while you sleep in this blog post.

Nursing Bralette Care

Nursing bralettes are designed for regular use, which means you will be washing them frequently. To get the most out of your bra, be sure to follow the washing and drying instructions that come with it. The Larken X is washer and dryer friendly, so you don’t have to hand wash it.

Nursing bralettes are popular among moms because of their blend of comfort, versatility, and style. Pair the Larken X with high-waisted leggings, high-rise briefs, and a tank top for maximum comfort all day and night.
