Buying bras while pregnant or breastfeeding brings “self-conscious" to a whole new level.
You are pregnant or you just had a baby. You're probably feeling self-conscious and not all that attractive. Maybe you’re even smelly and leaky. Your body has changed, keeps changing, and it’s distressing. This is a stage of life for mothers and I promise, someday your body will be more the way it used to be.
In the meantime, you could use some new bras that fit and function while you grow your baby and breastfeed.
Take your shirt off and look in the mirror:
1. Your bra should fasten comfortably around your ribs without digging in.
2. Your shoulder straps should stay on your shoulder without cutting in
3. Your breasts should rest within the cup with room for daily fullness
4. The center front should sit close to your chest wall.
5. The cup sides should lay flat without gaping under your arm
6. Your bra feels good and looks good
7. When you take it off, there are no red marks. Pale pink is OK
If you find that does not describe your bra, you can make an appointment to have your fit checked and to look at your options.

I understand what it's like being a new mom!
I work with pregnant and new mothers every day. I’ve been a new mom three times. Everything is happening fast, you are the star of the show and yet, there’s no time for you.
Buying a bra is hard enough in normal times. I make it easy.
- You will be measured with your shirt on.
- You will try on your selected bras in private.
- You only show me the bras you feel comfortable in.
- You can even pull your shirt over it before showing me, if it feels more comfortable.
You will learn how bras fit your body and learn what styles work best for you.
If you are pregnant and your bra is uncomfortable.
You could use some new bras that feel good now. We have attractive and comfortable bras that stretch and shrink as your breasts and body change through your pregnancy and breastfeeding your baby.
If you have a baby, you could probably use a hand, as well as a comfortable bra.
You have a baby. You have a diaper bag. You are breastfeeding, so in theory, you don't need bottles. In theory. You have a car and a credit card. You can do this, and I can help.
You can bring your partner, your bestie, or your mom. You can bring your stroller. You have all the time you need to try on bras and think about each one carefully. You can take nursing breaks as needed.
Shopping online
Shopping online is hit or miss. Bra fits vary even in the same size and brand. You really do need to try them on, unless you want 10 or 20 bras that don’t fit, stuffed in the back of your drawer.
Ready to try something new? Here's how it works:
1. We talk about what you want in your bra in comfort, color, and style.
- You learn your real size- one that fits. We stock from 32 A to 48 L
- You choose a material that feels good
- You try on styles that flatter and support your amazing breasts
- You pay a reasonable price.
2. We hold your baby (if you want), so you can relax and take your time. And you can take nursing breaks.
3. You have complete privacy in a private dressing room that is big enough for you, your best friend, your mom, and your stroller.
4. We search and offer all the options, until you find the bra you love and are COMPLETELY HAPPY.
6. You walk out wearing the right bra and a smile on your face. :-)
