Maternity bra

During pregnancy, the female breast undergoes deformation - it increases in size and changes shape. In order to provide her with the right support, prevent sagging, stretch marks and relieve stress on the spine, you should choose a special bra for pregnant women. We will figure out how to choose the right size and what materials should be included in the new underwear.

Underwear for pregnant women is developed taking into account physiological and psychological factors, which include both external changes in the breast (size, shape) and internal changes (irritability, discomfort). You can find a special model in specialized stores for pregnant women or in stores with children's goods. Such bras have a number of features:

• They are made mainly from natural fabrics: linen or cotton with an admixture of additional synthetic materials. This is necessary so that the bra can maintain the shape of the breast and last longer.
• Special bras for pregnant women do not have bones and other pressure structures. Most often they are completely seamless, so that nothing causes discomfort.
• The special cut of the underwear allows you to enjoy wearing it: sometimes the bra resembles a top rather than a traditional model (however, many models are also presented in the form of a traditional bra - supportive). In addition, underwear can be worn throughout pregnancy, regardless of the ongoing growth of the breast; such cotton linen literally adapts to it and stretches in accordance with the size or has additional pockets.
• This underwear has wide shoulder straps and volume-adjusting straps to ensure safety and comfort for growing breasts.
• More and more there are models of bras for pregnant women with a removable cup, that is, those that can be used even during the period of feeding the baby. However, they will not be able to provide the required support for the breasts, since breasts filled with milk are even larger and heavier.

Of course, you can buy a regular model of a bra while pregnant, it can better hold the chest due to underwire or a more durable construction, emphasize a seductive shape and have an attractive external design; but soon new underwear can become small, and all pressing materials are a ban for pregnant women.

Among the models for pregnant women, you can find cute modern models with a stylish design and excellent functionality.

This model will become an ally throughout the whole pregnancy and even after it, since it is able to accommodate a larger breast by 2-3 and even 4 sizes (with the initially correctly selected option).
