The Glamourmom Mbody Starter Nursing Bra comes in sizes from 34/36 B/C to 38/40 F/G, with the under-bust band adjusting over two sizes for comfort during the engorgement stage when your milk comes in.
The cotton/elastane blend is breathable and absorbent, making it ideal for night-time. It’s machine washable, too – a must during the leaky early days of breastfeeding.
What we love
Four days after giving birth to Katie, I breathed a sigh of relief when I put the Glamourmom Mbody Starter Nursing Bra on for the first time. The wide straps, stretchy fabric and supportive under-bust band took the weight of my rock-solid breasts, while the soft, seam-free, heat-moulded cups were gentle on my sensitive nipples.
Katie fed well when I was wearing it, thanks to the generous amount of breast exposed by dropping the cup.
My breasts had been feeling particularly tender overnight, but the bra was comfy to sleep in, and the large cups held my breast pads securely in place.
I also appreciated being able to sling the bra into the washing machine in the morning - after all, who has time to handwash their undies with a brand new baby to look after?
What to watch out for
The large cups of this bra are great for access, but on the down side, it means there’s a lot of fabric to get in the way. I had to scrunch the dropped cup up and tuck it under my breast so Katie didn’t get a mouthful.
The bra is definitely functional rather than sexy, with its wide straps and high-cut shape, not one to wear under a vest top, for instance.
Who is the Glamourmom Mbody Starter Nursing Bra best for?
New mums looking for comfort while establishing breastfeeding.
It won’t make you feel sexy, but the Glamourmom Mbody Starter Nursing Bra is unbeatable for comfort during the early days of breastfeeding, when engorgement and soreness are an issue. With easy access and great support for tender breasts, it’s a real asset for newly nursing mums.
