After your baby is born, you need all the emotional and physical support you can get—and your boobs are certainly no exception. So if you’re planning on nursing, finding the right pumping bra is an important step towards successful breastfeeding. And these are the best pumping bras that are pretty, practical, and they’ll get things, well, pumpin’.
The Larken X
Wires aren’t the best friend to your boobs when you’re nursing. Thankfully, the Larken X works without wires, and doesn’t have clumsy zippers, clips, or holes that can make nursing (or pumping) a problem. Plus, the spandex offers the stretch that they need, especially when your girls are engorged.

The sports bra fits right below your ribcage, offering additional support while you pump.

Sublime® Hands-Free Pumping & Nursing Bra
Sure, nursing and pumping bras have a singular purpose but that doesn’t mean that they can’t be pretty. The center ruching on the Sublime® Hands-Free Pumping & Nursing Bra is kind of sexy. Unsure if you want to nurse or pump? Well, you won’t have to make the decision since the bra lets you do both at the same time. The four-way stretch not only offers comfort, but it can even securely keep your pump in place.
The Do Anything Bra
Comfort is key when it comes to any kind of bra, which is why most are made from cotton and spandex. The Do Anything Bra from Bodily steps it up one notch by making The Do Anything Bra silky, and dare we say, sexy. Designed with an IBCLC lactation expert, the bra isn’t bulky and is made from OEKO-TEX safety standards.
