Nursing bras
Kindred Bravely Simply Sublime Nursing Bra
Our take
A wireless, seamless bra that stretches with size changes and opens with one hand. It topped both The Bump's and Mommyhood101's tests; it's hand wash only and has no pumping slits.
93% nylon, 7% spandex (busty: 90/10)Wireless, seamlessRemovable paddingSizes S to 2X, regular to super busty
Consider instead: Bravado Body Silk for a machine-washable pick.
Before you buy
Do you need it?Must-have Comfortable, easy-access bras are worth it if you'll nurse or pump. Sizes change in the first weeks, so start with two.
Cost per monthAbout $4.42 a month over a typical 12 months of use. Our estimate; your use may be shorter or longer.
Secondhand?Buy new. Buy new.
TipBuy one or two before birth and more once your milk comes in and your size settles.
