I know I am backtracking a bit here, but I finally had time to put my IGTV on my blog. Hurray! This is the first-ever video I made for Mummy Diary's, I was actually really nervous about filming this video, as I am not used to talking on camera. I was even more worried about posting it, as I am not sure what the response would be like. Luckily, everyone was very nice about it, and been very supportive, which I cannot be more grateful.
So here is the video review on 3 different nursing bras I used and their Pros and Cons. (Click on the image below to go to the link.)
1. OH LA LARI
I love this bra because it is so pretty. After giving birth, I just felt so unattractive and feeling sexy and desirable again was a big challenge for me. One of the things that helped was wearing beautiful nursing bras, so I feel less frumpy and "just a mum".
PROS
Easy access - great for breastfeeding mums.
No underwire - comfortable to wear & would not affect breastmilk supply.
Pretty to look at - good for self-confidence.
Two way back design - so can wear with different outfits.
CONS
Not the most supportive - better for smaller cup size.
2. HAAKAA
This was my everyday T-shirt bra, and I love it because it is just comfortable. I also don't have to worry about anything showing through even if my top is quite thin, a it is just a smooth surface.
PROS
Have an in-built handsfree function - great for pumping mums.
Comfortable to wear.
Stretchy fabric so flexible in size.
Can also use for breastfeeding.
Good support
CONS
Not the easiest to breastfeed.
I love the functionality and look of this bra. The design is pretty, and it has a very clever concealed handsfree function as well, which I love.
PROS
Good for both pumping and breastfeeding mums.
Has hands free function and nursing clips breast panels for quick access.
Good Support - have wider straps on the shoulder and back.
Beautiful design - good for self-confidence.
CONS
Has underwire, so it might affect some mum's milk flow.
I hope you like my recommendations above, they are my top 3 maternity bras that I used most often.
Sending you love & positive thoughts,
