Finding the right nursing bra can feel overwhelming, especially with so many options to choose from. For new moms juggling sleepless nights and feedings or new moms to be, choosing the perfect nursing bra isn’t just about style—it’s also about comfort, practicality, and support. You want something that makes breastfeeding or pumping easy, and a nursing bra you can wear day and night.
However, moms end up making common mistakes that lead to wearing uncomfortable bras, ones where pumping or feeding isn’t easy to do, or doesn’t offer support for fluctuating breast sizes. To help you find the perfect nursing bra, here are the most common mistakes moms make when shopping for a bra and how you can find the best one for your needs.
Choosing The Wrong Size
Choosing the wrong size is one of the most common mistakes moms make. Whether it’s too small and restrictive or too loose and unsupportive, a poorly fitting nursing bra can make you feel uncomfortable all day. You’ll want something that is comfortable enough that you can wear day and night that feels supportive. Check out our size guide for the Larken X to take your measurements so you’ll find the right fit.
Sacrificing Comfort For Style
Our Larken X, an all-in-one nursing and pumping bra is both soft and durable, as well as flattering. You can quickly and conveniently feed your little one without hassle or discomfort. The Larken X is so comfortable that you can wear it day and night without having to switch between bras. It can also be dressed up or down with our high-waisted leggings for a night out or to wear to the gym.
Overlooking Functionality
Nursing bras are meant to make breastfeeding easier, not more complicated. Struggling with clips or having a hard time feeding your baby can be really stressful. Nursing bras should have soft fabric that gives you the right amount of functionality without unnecessary clips, zippers, or elastic. The Larken X was designed with comfort in mind and the right amount of functionality so you’re always comfortable no matter what you’re doing.
Not Buying Enough Bras
Between leaks, spills, and constant feedings, one or two bras won’t always be enough. Moms often find themselves in a scramble when their only nursing bra is in the wash. Having a few bras will help you always be prepared, no matter what spills or surprises come your way.
Ignoring Material & Breathability
Breastfeeding moms produce milk, which means breast pads and bras are constantly exposed to moisture. Choose nursing bras made from soft, breathable, moisture-wicking fabric because they will also feel better against your sensitive skin, as well as keep you cool and dry throughout the day.
By avoiding these common mistakes and following our tips, you’ll find the perfect nursing bra. Check out the Larken X and see why it’s the go-to nursing bra for moms!
