Low impact nursing sports bras

I had the illusion that finding a low impact nursing bra was going to be a little easier. I mean, a lot of moms start with light exercise a couple of months after giving birth. And yoga is still super popular. But no. After hours of scouring the web I realized that it was just that, an illusion. But don’t worry, I found 3 solid options for us. Practical and stylish.

Supportive but not too tight

Just being a mom will make you break a sweat at least a couple of times a day. This seamless maternity sports bra will help you get through it. No matter if you’re comforting an inconsolable little one or breathing it all out during a yoga class. It has all the essentials, a supportive chest band, adjustable straps, sweat-wicking material, clips for when you need to breastfeed and a nice classic sports bra design.

The best low impact sports bra?

At the moment I think Cake Maternity has the best nursing sports bras available. Heck, I think they have the best nursing bras in all categories. They don’t have thousands of designs to choose from. Instead they focus on producing a couple very well-designed nursing bras. I don’t agree with the style and color choices to a 100 %, but they’re better than average for sure.

This is their Lotus bra. It’s a nursing and hands-free pumping sports bra. Super comfortable and super easy and discreet access. There are 4 different color combinations to choose from.

Pull on and clip down

Most nursing sports bras I found are either grey or black. And I get it. We don’t want to buy a hundred different sports bras. We are not going to breastfeed forever, and we need something that goes with everything. But I like this one because it’s a little different and a beautiful color. Almost a little sexy. These low impact nursing sports bras are also perfect for everyday activities. As I mentioned before, we all get sweaty at least a few times a day taking care of the babies.

Medium impact nursing sports bras

Remember not to measure your chest and breast until at least 3 weeks after delivery. If you’re breastfeeding. By then they should have settled in size. And the bigger boobs you got, the more important it is to find a supportive sports bra. Especially when the training intensity increases. It will take a while for your abs to find their way back, which means your back is already strained.

Cute, sporty and very supportive

Some people say that you shouldn’t wear an underwire or a too tight bra as it can inhibit blood flow and cause clogged milk ducts or even mastitis. There’s no real proof of that though. The truth probably lies somewhere in between. I recommend doing and wearing whatever you feel comfortable in and works for you.

I think the sports bras without wire are considerably more comfortable. Or, at least as long as I’m not doing any high intensity workouts. Then it can be more comfortable to up the support.

This bra doesn’t have any wires but still offers great support. The racerback design and elastic band makes sure of that. The cups give full coverage and help restrict movement. And it has side slings that stops the breasts from sagging when you breastfeed (that generally makes it easier to feed). The clips are easy to maneuver with one hand making sure you can breastfeed anywhere at any time. And the price is great.

Not a nursing bra, but perfect for it?

Maybe not perfect, but absolutely fine. This open zip front sports bra is actually a post-surgery bra. That means it will give great support without being too tight. Think comfort and elasticity. No chafe, no sweat and no burden. The front zipper obviously is what makes it possible to breastfeed in. Just pull it down and whip it out. Zip, zap , zlurp. Not too bad, right?

You also get removal pads. Just put your nursing pads in there and never worry about leakage.

This is one of the absolute best plus size nursing sports bras I have come across. Let me just say, great support, wide bands, full coverage, easy access, soft, breathable, smoothing, and stretchy. What more could you ask for? Well, it also is a pull-on. No clasps in sight. Available up to a 48C (5X-Large).

Just remember to give your body time to recover from the pregnancy and labor. You got the rest of your life to get into shape again. Make sure your body is as ready as your mind.

A very flexible sports bra

This high impact sports bra actually comes with a free 7-day exercise program. Hotmilk is serious about getting us mamas into shape again. They have a wide range of sizes available. You can get it in up to H cup.

The sports bra in the picture have an extra cool feature. The top cup is stretchy enough to allow for growth (and shrinking). I love the vibrant colors, especially the gold in the back. It also has 6 hooks and eye extension for ribcage expansion. All this makes it a really flexible sports bra.
