Best Maternity Lingerie To Try While Pregnant (And After)
SHARE

Just because you are expecting a baby, that does not mean you have to feel uncomfortable or unattractive in your own skin.

While pregnancy usually comes with a change of wardrobe, you might not be aware that your underwear and sleepwear are just as important to replace during those months.

You can take advantage of this to purchase items that are not only comfortable but also cute!

But before picking some adorable pieces of maternity lingerie and sleepwear, here’s what you should consider!

There is no secret that pregnancy causes a lot of changes to a woman’s body, especially the baby bump growing, as well as the breasts which means tight, itchy or scratchy clothes getting in direct contact with your skin should be avoided!

What this means is that, first and foremost, you need to make sure you feel good in your new pregnancy lingerie.

To ensure that, look out for the following things:

Size And Material

Be careful not to buy your maternity bras too big as they might not be able to properly support you and might even look weird under your top.

A material that is stretchy and therefore able to adapt to your changing body is really important.

Not only that but pregnancy can also make your skin much more sensitive than usual so stay away from certain fabrics, such as synthetic ones as they can be annoying or even cause irritation.

Instead, go for fabrics that feel soft and breathable.

Postpartum use

How long you can wear the lingerie for is also something to be considered.

Some pieces can easily be worn in the postpartum stage and some even have slip-down straps that are very useful while breastfeeding since they allow you to just pull them down and feed your baby.

Wire-free bras

For some more comfort, make sure to pick out a bra without an underwire.

Furthermore, always check for extra hook-and-eye closures for your midsection so you can wear them all throughout the pregnancy as your belly grows. The fabric should also be flexible enough to let that happen.

During pregnancy, discharge tends to increase which is why cotton underwear, or at least partially cotton (where it matters) is a good idea as it is able to keep you feeling dry and lets your skin breathe.

Now that you have all the basics covered to be able to make an informed choice, all you need to worry about is picking a style and colors that you love for the perfect pregnancy and postpartum underwear!

That being said, the following list features a number of amazing options, in no particular order, as well as links to where you can order them quickly and easily!
