Up-Town: Boobs and Bras

If you are pregnant for the first time, perhaps you aren’t prepared for all the differences your body will go through. Often before we even get the “positive” on the pregnancy test we realize we have tender breasts. Finding the right maternity bras to support you through pregnancy and nursing are essential to keep your breasts comfortable.

The right nursing and pregnancy bras are comfortable, and having the right bra now will also help prevent sagging breasts later on. With the proper lift now, you maternity set from www.lingerie-confidant.comcan help your breasts look their best for a long time, while some women experience gravity much earlier, with ill-fitting bras.

Besides comfort, the biggest advantage to the right nursing bra is that by having your breasts “lifted”: you create more space between your breasts and your belly. This gives the appearance of weight loss - without having to work out. This is especially nice once you have had baby and are still working some of the post-partum belly off. A quality bra is worth its weight in gold when it helps you visually shed pounds.

Also keep in mind that as your breasts grow, you want to protect the connective tissues. Having a great bra will minimize the tenderness that you are going to experience as your breasts grow!



There are two distinct types of bras to be worn for this period in your life:
  • You can choose a maternity bra, that has cups that are designed to expand with your breasts. Many women elect to wear these for a flexible fit as breasts change so rapidly during this time. These are also worn many times after delivery for those who don’t nurse until breasts get back to regular size.
  • For those who choose to nurse, having a nursing bra makes your world so much simpler. Whether at home or in public, a nursing bra simplifies nursing. These bras have a clasp on the top so the bra’s cup will drop over your breast, exposing the breast for the baby without having to unhook the whole bra. This was a lifesaver when I was in public nursing, and every woman needs one to bring home from the hospital if you even just want to try nursing.

Designers have created pregnancy and nursing bras that accommodate every woman’s taste. From the traditional underwire bras to the new designs with micro fiber seamless shaping, every Mom-to-be can find the right bra to offer support and beauty!



Downtown: Pregnancy Panties

Pregnancy panties - now, this sounds like an oxymoron, I know. With my first daughter, I was shocked at the lack of choices. Huge briefs with panels in the front - not so sexy for my taste in underwear. With successive children I have become a more savvy online shopper, and found much better choices than were offered in the local stores years ago. Women today can have pretty panties and a pregnant belly at the same time.

One of the best choices, particularly for pregnant women, is seamless panties. I recommend them as the "best choice" for Moms-to-be, and women in general!
Benefits of seamless panties:

  • Seamless panties give a smooth look so you can wear them under tight fitting clothing and not see any lines.
  • A style for every pregnant woman - Comes in bikini, hi-cut brief, plus sizes, and thong style.
  • Washes well! Materials are often nylon, spandex, micorfiber and cotton so keeps its shape.
  • One size fits most.

Where do seamless maternity panties sit on you?

  • Bikini and thong - fits below the waist.
  • Hi-cut briefs - sits over the belly.


  • Today’s designers offer maternity panties with room for your expanding belly in all types of underwear. Tanga panties, thongs, boy shorts, and every other sort of style are available. These panties look like regular underwear, but have room to accommodate your expanding belly. The more traditional underwear are also available in a nice range of fabrics and prints as well, making them pretty even without being pregnant!

    With the new styles in clothing, maternity underwear have kept up with the times. Seamless styles and thongs keep panty lines invisible, and the low-rise option makes it possible to wear stylish maternity clothes without having to “cover” the waist line.




    Don’t forget about your nightgowns and sleepwear. When coming home from the hospital, having a pretty gown can make you feel beautiful, even though you haven’t slept a full night in… how long?

    Invest in one or two pieces that are made out of natural as opposed to synthetic materials. This will keep moisture away a maternity set in red from www.lingerie-confidant.comfrom your skin if you get hot, and will be more comfortable.

    Nursing gowns are also available in pretty styles, from camisole tops to full length gowns to two piece sets. These tasteful pajamas make nursing simple in the middle of the night or when company stops by and finds you still dressed in your pajamas. Who can blame you with something so comfortable?

    The thing that sets nursing pajamas apart is the access to your breast for baby. Simply lift a flap either up or down and your breast is handy for your baby to nurse. It makes it possible to nurse without really waking up when you are trying to sleep through the night. Every minute of sleep will count to keep you feeling your best for new baby, and nursing gowns helps foster that relationship on many levels.




    Even though your styles will have to be modified, maternity lingerie designers today have learned that women still want to feel sexy when they are expecting. Finding the right pieces can help exemplify your curves and changing body. You should absolutely embrace this period in your life, because in a blink, it will be a mere memory.

    Take care of yourself first so that you can be a happy mother that feels beautiful from the inside out!
