The perfect sports nursing bra: Freedom and support for the active mom

At MyBelly, we understand that your journey as a mother is unique, filled with significant changes and new priorities. We also know that many mothers want to maintain an active lifestyle – before, during, and after pregnancy. That's why we specialize in creating clothing that supports you through all phases; clothing designed to embrace your body's changes without compromising your personal style or comfort.

One of the cornerstones of our collection is the sports nursing bra – an indispensable piece of clothing for the active and breastfeeding mother.

Why is a specially designed sports nursing bra indispensable?

Your body deserves the best support, especially when it performs such important tasks as carrying a child, giving birth, and breastfeeding. A regular sports bra is rarely sufficient, as it is not designed with the unique needs of a breastfeeding body in mind.

With a sports nursing bra from MyBelly, you get a solution that combines functionality, comfort, and style, allowing you to focus on your workout and your child's well-being without worries. We have developed our sports nursing bras in close collaboration with women, ensuring they meet real-life needs.

What should you look for in a good sports nursing bra?

When choosing the right model, it's important to look beyond just the size. It's about design, material, and functionality:

• Optimal support: During nursing, breasts constantly change. Our models, such as Nursing Sports Bra – Mami and Maternity Sports Bra - The Original, are constructed to keep the chest in place during running, jumping, and movement. This prevents discomfort and pain.
• Easy access for nursing: Nursing your baby should be effortless. Our bras are equipped with smart clips that can be opened with one hand. This ensures you can quickly feed your child, whether you're at the gym or on the go.
• Materials and fit: We use breathable, moisture-wicking materials that keep you dry. The wide, adjustable straps distribute weight evenly, reducing pressure on shoulders and back – especially important if you have a larger bust.

Designed for real-life everyday use

At MyBelly, it's about supporting your role as a mother. Our sports nursing bras are designed to be so comfortable that many of our customers choose to wear them all day. As customers Lara, Cecilie, and Ida have shared, the support and comfortable material are so well-executed that you almost forget you're wearing it.

We offer sizes from Small to XXL, so all mothers can find the right fit. Always remember to check our size guide, to ensure the best experience.

Guide: How to choose the right sports nursing bra

Choosing the right bra can seem overwhelming, but follow these three tips:

1. Fit is everything: The band under the bust should sit snugly and horizontally all the way around – this is where the support comes from. The cups should cover the entire breast without pinching.
2. Activity level: If you engage in high-intensity training (running, CrossFit), prioritize maximum support. For yoga and walks, medium support may be sufficient. Our models are designed to provide versatile support for most activities.
3. Care and maintenance: Wash your sports nursing bra after each use at a low temperature and air dry it. Avoid tumble drying, as the heat breaks down the elastic fibers that provide support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is a regular sports bra sufficient during nursing? No, a regular sports bra lacks the nursing function and rarely accounts for the fluctuating breast size during nursing. A dedicated nursing sports bra is both more comfortable and practical.

Can I sleep in a sports nursing bra? It is generally not recommended. Compression can restrict blood circulation and lead to clogged milk ducts. Instead, wear a soft, wire-free nursing bra at night.

How many sports nursing bras do I need? Many mothers prefer to have 2-3 pieces, so there is always a clean one ready while another is being washed.

Are MyBelly's sports nursing bras suitable for high-intensity training? Yes, our models are constructed to keep the chest stably in place even during high-intensity activity, so you can train with peace of mind.
