Nursing mothers know the importance of having a comfortable, supportive, and functional bra during the breastfeeding journey. Bodily's nursing bras stand out from the crowd, offering unparalleled comfort, versatility, and design that cater to the unique needs of nursing and pumping parents. In this guide, we delve into the details of Bodily's top-rated nursing bra, the Do Anything Bra, and explore its features, benefits, and how it compares to other options on the market.
Bodily's The Do Anything Bra: A Nursing and Pumping Game-Changer
Bodily's The Do Anything Bra has been lauded as the best overall nursing bra by both testers and lactation experts. Its silky-soft, non-irritating fabric and thoughtful design set it apart from conventional nursing bras. The bra's standout features include:
-
Silky, Luxurious Fabric: Unlike other nursing bras made of standard nylon and elastane blends, The Do Anything Bra boasts a unique, buttery-soft material that feels like a luxurious satin robe, yet maintains its stretch and shape.
-
Flexible, Adjustable Fit: The bra features a soft elastic band with a five-row hook-and-eye closure, allowing for easy adjustments as your body changes. The thick, grosgrain-ribbed straps stay in place, ensuring a secure fit throughout the day.
-
One-Handed Nursing and Pumping: The elegant, easy-to-use nursing clips open with just one hand, while discrete openings for hands-free pumping make the transition between nursing and expressing milk effortless.
-
Stylish and Functional Design: With a subtle, camouflaged pumping opening and a racerback option, The Do Anything Bra is both fashionable and practical. The subtle design ensures that it can be worn under loose clothing or layers without compromising on style.
Comparison with Other Nursing Bras
Priced at $58, The Do Anything Bra is on the higher end but offers exceptional value for its combination of comfort and functionality. Compared to theAuden Women’s Nursing Seamless Bra, which retails for $17, Bodily's offering is pricier, but its superior fabric and design cater specifically to nursing and pumping parents.
The Back At It Bra and The So Easy Bra are other Bodily options suitable for Stage 2, when your breasts are adjusting to lactation and fluctuations decrease. While they provide more support, The Do Anything Bra remains the best choice for those who require both nursing and pumping capabilities.
Bodily's Stages of Breastfeeding System
Bodily has created a simple system to help parents choose the right bra based on their breastfeeding stage:
-
Months 0-3 Postpartum (Stage 1): During this stage, breasts are most likely to become engorged, and wearing a non-compressive bra like The Everything Bra or The Effortless Bra is recommended.
-
Months 3-6 Postpartum (Stage 2): As fluctuations decrease, you can transition to more supportive bras, like The So Easy Bra or The Back At It Bra, but limit wearing compressive styles like The Do Anything Bra to 4 hours or less.
-
Months 6+ Postpartum (Stage 3): Once your breasts have adjusted, you can opt for a more structured bra like The Do Anything Bra, but still prioritize regular pumping or nursing to prevent engorgement.
-
Pre-Lactation: Pregnant women can choose comfortable bras like Bodily's Stage 2 bra, The So Easy Bra, for maximum comfort during pregnancy.
