There are those who would have you think that the wearing of sexy lingerie may jeopardise your health. I am of the thinking that wearing poorly fitting lingerie or bras with underwire may do this, but there is nothing to say that undergarments which are gorgeous and sexy, will cause you damage. In fact quite the opposite!

Project this even further to the specialised field of breast feeding bras. Thankfully there are entire lingerie companies dedicated to the ongoing development of these important garments. It is imperative you wear an expertly designed, perfectly proportioned and professionally fitted breast feeding bra during your pregnancy and while you are breast feeding your baby. An ill-fitting bra with stretchy straps can place unnecessary pressure on the neck and spine, particularly with the size increase of your bust, which you will experience during pregnancy and beyond.

Unique advancements in the world of pregnancy and breast feeding bras mean it is no longer necessary to use underwire in larger cup sizes for added support. I strongly recommend you seek out lingerie which uses the latest in technology and design in their quest to produce the most supportive, comfortable maternity lingerie. You do not need underwire for this. It can lead to blocked milk ducts due to the compression of these ducts and breast tissue which becomes even tenderer during pregnancy. It is important to wear breast feeding bras with superior support which will encourage circulation and lymphatic drainage and promote cellular health.

This can all sound particularly technical. You must not lose sight of the fact your breast feeding bras should still be gorgeous, feminine and sexy! Choose styles with matching underwear and nightwear – styles which make you look and feel glamorous at what is one of the most feminine times in your life. But don't just wear your old bras which may fit because they have stretched. Pregnancy and breast feeding do have specific requirements which the correct lingerie will provide.

There are practicalities too which need to be considered when breast feeding. One handed maternity clips, six rows of eyelets at the back to allow for breast size fluctuation and comfort about your diaphragm. Supportive fabrics, well positioned and non-chafing seams, shoulder straps of a comfortable width and with the ability to be easily adjusted. Smooth, supportive microfiber fabric and cups double lined with soft, breathable cotton are a must and do choose to buy your breast feeding bras, underwear and sleepwear from a company which dedicates itself specifically to the design and manufacture of pregnancy and nursing lingerie. You will not regret it.
