If you are not sure what nursing sports bra size you currently are, grab a tape measure and check out Boob or Bust who have a handy calculator, calibrated to take pregnancy and breastfeeding into account.
At the very least we recommend choosing the size that corresponds with your under bust measurement in inches - not your bra size!
We always recommend choosing your pre-pregnancy size for the best fit during and after pregnancy. If you are already pregnant and finding bras too tight, we'd typically suggest picking one size below your current exact under bust measurement and using the bra extender to the end of your pregnancy (for the best postnatal fit).
Still not sure? Drop us an email on help@natalactive.com with your measurements and current bra size and we will make a recommendation!
Our nursing sports bras differs from a regular sports bra by featuring additional design elements that allow for easy access to breastfeed, such as the front clips, drop-down cups, and the modesty panel lining the bra for discreet breastfeeding. The bras are also suitable for wearing during pregnancy and come with an additional bra extender to enable the band to expand with your ribcage during pregnancy, while still allowing for a good fit once the baby is here. All of the bras have removable padding.
If you are planning to breastfeed, our nursing sports bras are a valuable addition to your wardrobe - whether you are a gym bunny, a runner or enjoy leisurely walks with your baby, our sports bras will provide support and ease of breastfeeding access while being comfortable enough to wear all day.
For high impact activities we always suggest the Artemis breastfeeding sports bra which, with its ability to cross and adjust the straps at the back, allows you to adjust the level of support you need for the workout you are doing. For a medium level of support, the Vitality style is ideal for gym sessions, brisk walks, yoga and more!
Yes our bras cater for a range of cup sizes to accommodate fluctuations during the day and breast changes during pregnancy. The Vitality style fits to an F cup, the Artemis to a G cup and our Freyja style to a J cup. We also cater for a range of band sizes from XS to 3XL
All of our nursing sports bras are designed with nursing clips that can be opened and closed with just one hand (ideal when you have a wriggly baby to contend with!) and all have drop-down cups to facilitate breastfeeding without the need to remove the entire bra.
Absolutely they are a perfect maternity sports bra! The colour matched bra extender will allow you to buy your pre-pregnancy size and expand the band as your ribcage expands during your pregnancy, while ensuring you will still have a good postnatal fit too. With no underwires you’ll have both comfort and support.
Yes - in fact we have many customers that comment on how they find them more comfortable than their normal nursing bras and wear them on rotation. And many many mums wear them long after they have stopped breastfeeding too!
Our sports bras can help you with postpartum breast discomfort or engorgement as they provide gentle support and minimise movement during physical activities.
