 Bra Sizing: Finding a comfortable,
supportive and accessible nursing bra is one
of the most important choices you can make.
The last four to six weeks of your
pregnancy is an ideal time to purchase your
nursing bras. If you are shopping
for a bra during that time keep in mind:
 | Allow for one cup's growth after your milk comes in. |
| Fit the bra on the largest or second to largest back-hook closure.
You will get smaller around the ribs after the baby arrives. |
How to ensure a good fit:
|
Good Fit |
Poor Fit |
 |
 |
|
Fitting comfortably along top 2 edges
of cup and against breastbone in center...an excellent fit. |
Too small in the cup: pressing beast
and gaping at top of cup, far from breastbone in the center, tight at
the ribs. |
 |
 |
|
Bra fastens snugly below shoulder
blades and is parallel to the floor. Shoulder straps also adjusted
for a comfortable, but snug fit. |
Bra riding up in back...Try going up
a cup size and down a band size to get proper support. |
How to Measure for Your Nursing Bra:
 The following
information will help determine your correct bra size.
If you have any questions,
please indicate your measurements in the
comments section of the order form or call us at 1-888-624-GEAR.
Band Measurement:
| Measure around your body just under your arms. |
| If the measurement is an uneven number, round up--
for example, if you measure 37 inches, round up
to a 38 band size. |
 Cup
Measurement:
| Measure around the fullest part of your bust. |
| Subtract the first measurement (band size) from the
second measurement (bust size). |
| Look at the chart below to determine your cup size.
