Thank you to Le Mystere for sponsoring today’s post!
Confession: I never bought a decent nursing bra with my last two babies. My reasoning was why spend money on something that will just get ruined? But here’s the truth of the matter. They stretched out, became misshapen, and weren’t comfortable in the slightest bit! In fact, they didn’t even fit right. And breastfeeding boobs in a bad bra aren’t doing anything for your posture, know what I mean? I vowed to be different this time around, and INVEST in really good nursing bras that will last the duration of our breastfeeding journey. Today I’m sharing Why You Should Invest in a Good Nursing Bra to encourage you to gift yourself the “gift of lift!”
Why You Should Invest in a Good Nursing Bra
They provide proper support. Milk boobs (really, all boobs!) come in all shapes and sizes, right? Many times one is larger than the other, and they’re always changing sizes depending on how “full” you are at that moment. As a result, we need proper support to keep the girls intact! Plus proper support means a better posture, which will prevent that awful back pain you might experience (especially the larger ladies!).
They will last a long time. Like I said before, my old nursing bras are in such bad shape I had to throw them away. Which shouldn’t surprise me seeing as they were less than $20 – classic case of “you get what you pay for.” Investing in nursing bras made from high quality material will actually last much longer than cheaply made bras, and prevent you from having to buy new ones in the long run.
They provide a good foundation under your clothes. It’s true – a good, supportive, PROPERLY FITTING bra will make your clothes look better. We often have misconceptions on how bras should fit, so using a Fit Guide like this one by Le Mystere is really important to ensure you buy your right size! No one wants spillage over cups or the sides of the bra! Your clothes will look better, and you’ll feel better too!
Le Mystere has a wide variety of beautiful bras, including maternity and nursing bras! I really like their Mama Mia Nursing Bra which provides the right amount of coverage, while also leaving a subtle amount of room for nursing pads. It also makes for a great gift if you know any mamas to be!
We typically DON’T treat ourselves to fancy nursing bras (as I just stated I did with #1 and #2!), so its always the perfect gift…the “gift of lift!” If you aren’t nursing, that’s okay..Le Mystere has a LARGE variety of bras for all women, including Push-Up, Plunge, Front Closure, the Infinite T-shirt Bra (my fave, and also shown here!), and even strapless options. So if you’re in need of some new bras, put Le Mystere on your Christmas list! You deserve it!
Le Mystere has also been kind of to giveaway ONE bra of choice to a lucky reader! Enter via the Rafflecopter below, and good luck!
I’m having a baby boy in January so I would choose a nursing bra! Like you, I have never had a nice one!
I yet have purchased a “real” nursing bra… ooops ????????♀️ I’m a sucker for comfort so I usually just wear my nursing sleep bras or sports bras that are easy to pull down. Thanks for the blog post Lauren!
I will be a new mom in January!! Love all of your mom advice and would love one of these bras!
Soo true! Thanks for the inspo!
I am pregnant with #3 and have always struggled with the bra situation! I would totally choose the nursing bra! Thanks for the info 🙂
I would love to win a good nursing bra! Baby girl gets here MONDAY!! I always miss out on instagram giveaways because I don’t like to make my profile public! Love you and your blog Lauren! You are easily one of the best and most relatable bloggers!
You’re so sweet!! Thank you!!! And an early congrats! 😉
The Mama Mia bra sounds soooo nice. I’m due any day with #3 and did the same thing you did with my last two – cheap Target bras. I packed them in my hospital bag yesterday and cringed. ???? I definitely need to invest in better ones ASAP!
T shirt bra! I need a new good everyday bra. Thx for the chance!!!
Definitely a great investment for that time!! Learned real quick that a good nursing bra was essential to me feeling my best! 🙂
I would choose the mama Mia!
I have two nursing bras that I have just went and bought while I was pregnant. Of course they don’t flatter me at all. I would love to try a new, good quality nursing bra. Thanks for the chance to win one!
Tisha t shirt looks like an amazing everyday bra! Would love to add that to my closet!
Great info! I’d love to win the Mama Mia Nursing Bra!!! Thanks Lauren and Le Mystere!
Waiting for first baby and I bought some cheapo Walmart nursing bras. I already don’t like them and am regretting not having invested in some good nursing bras! Definitely need some!
Expecting our first and would probably have ended up at Target for a bra to be honest! Definitely rethinking that now!
I’d pick the Safari Contour Bra!
Thank you for sharing! I’ve never heard of this company but am excited to check them out. With my first baby, I only nursed for 5 months and wished I could’ve gone longer. I think one reason it was so difficult for me was the lack of proper nursing items including a great nursing bra. This time around I am definitely going to invest in a nice nursing bra!
Totally agree!! Will def be investing in one of these. Mine from first baby was awful and this Mama needs some support ????
Guilty with the target nursing bra and I only have one ???? could definitely use a more comfortable and supportive as well pretty !
Mama Mia nursing bra sounds great !
I’d pick a nursing bra, I’m due March 9th with a girl!
I would love to get a nice strapless bra. The cheaper ones never fit me right.
What an awesome giveaway! I too have never invested in a good quality nursing bra, definitely will need to do so this time around! Thanks Lauren! xo
Ugh. I’m so guilty of this! I had one “decent” nursing bra with my first and I promised myself to invest in more quality pieces for the next go-round!!
Ohhhh! I need a good nursing bra!! I’m with you, I’ve only ever bought them cheap off Amazon!
I just gave birth to my 2nd a month ago so a new nursing bra would be amazing right now!
Totally relate to the need of a good nursing bra. Baby #2 is just one week.old today and trying to use my previous “cheap & not so cheerful” bras from my first is just not working. I would love a Mama Mia bra.
I’m excited for this post because I’m currently pregnant with baby #1 and am JUST starting research on a good nursing bra. Like you, I was just thinking of getting something cheap – but I think it makes sense to invest in a solid staple. Thanks for sharing!
I totally agree with you on this one. All the nursing bras I have purchased have been cheap and nothing but crap! It’s time I get a good one with great support and I prefer one without wires. I checked their website out and didn’t see a nursing one without wires. Is the one you’re wearing wireless?
I’m not sure which bra i could chose yet but definitely a nursing bra. I have a newborn now and more than ever understand the need for a good nursing bra. So important to be comfortable, convenient, and feel good about yourself right after birth. I would love to win!
what a great giveaway! I would LOVE to win but I’m so thankful for all of your pregnancy/ new mom tips! I am pregnant with my first now and following along with you has been so fun. 🙂 So thankful you can be completely honest & informative in your most recent live about what to expect during childbirth and after
I would choose the classic T shirt bra! I did not take care of the girls through pregnancy, nursing, or postpartum with Gracie. I went with cheap. Honestly, I am still wearing the nursing bras that do not fit right and she is 18 months! So, thanks for this post! I am totally learning quality over quantity.
I would definitely try to T-shirt bra! Basic girl over here!
I would love a comfy push me up bra!!
I would choose a nursing bra. I too have bought many target nursing bras and they don’t fit well but it’s going to get covered in milk so whatever. I would like to see how a good nursing bra can change my life!!!! We deserve a good nursing bra!!!
Their Sophia Lace Underwire bra looks so beautiful!
Such a good reminder that mama’s should treat themselves too! 🙂
I’m like you I’ve only ever bought cheap nursing bras and have even used a sports bra or those cheap t-shirt bras. I would definitely want the mama mia nursing bra.
T shirt bra!!!!
I would choose the nursing bra because like you, I also went to target to buy a cheap one and the other day the underwire popped out and was stuck in between my boobs, which was SUPER uncomfortable but it was stuck like that all day bc I was out running errands and there wasn’t anything I could do about it until I made it home.
Love them both, but def looking into a nursing bra for baby number two. This blog post was so helpful. Xox
Definitely would love a good nursing bra! Baby is due in 5 weeks!
I would pick a nursing bra!
Such good advice
I definitely need to get some good nursing bras this time around. I’ve gotten mine from Macy’s, like the soft ones with no wire and I stopped breastfeeding 2 months ago and still wear them every night to bed lol. But the pads are so worn I definitely need new ones!
These T-shirt bras look amazing! I’ve been needing a new bra but haven’t wanted to spend $50+ on one. Maybe I’ll get lucky!????????
Nursing bra! First time mom with a 3 week old, who is exclusively breast-feeding <3
I would choose the mama Mia nursing bra since my husband and I are trying to have our first baby!
I would choose the nursing bra! Mine could really use to be replaced!
I am a first time mom due in March so I’m kind of clueless about this whole nursing bra fiasco! I would love to in one of these ????
I’m expecting triplets in the spring so would definitely get a nursing bra- the mama Mia one looks wonderful!
I have been breastfeeding my son for 18 months now (and still going strong) and I have yet to find a decent nursing bra! It’s harder than you think!
Just found out I’m expecting baby #1 after two miscarriages. I’m ready to spoil myself with all the best stuff!!
I would choose the nursing bra.
I’ve been in desperate need of a good bra for…probably my whole life ???? LOL
This is great! I am also guilty of not investing in a good nursing bra my last pregnancy! I am due in March and would love to be able to win a great nursing bra to start things out. Thanks for the great giveaway!
I am due with my first in February and would love a beautiful nursing bra!
I just had baby #2 last week and completely agree about investing in a good nursing bra! I’m busty and could never find an inexpensive one that was flattering…and nothing can ruin a cute outfit worse than boobs that look like giant saggy melons.???? I can’t wait to try their styles!
I would get a nursing bra! Second is due in May and I did the same thing as you for my first! By the end of nursing her I felt like the straps did nothing!
I would love to win a good nursing bra! I also always go for target or motherhood brands and they end up in the garbage! This is the third baby I’ll be nursing nursing nursing away sooo I deserve a good one right!?! Hahah Love following you Lauren! You’re the best!!!!
I love any of them!
Mama Mia nursing bra sounds like a dream!
I just had a baby on 11/28. I only got two crappy nursing bras from target— would love to win this!

I’d love the mama mia for my next pregnancy or a tshirt bra!

I am due in January with my first so I would definitely chose the nursing bra! Mama Mia Maternity Nursing Bra in nude 🙂
I would love a good nursing bra. My poor boobs are so sore and baby hasn’t even come yet.
Nursing bra!!
I would choose the nursing bra for my next baby due in July!
As someone who never buys nice bras (and always seems to regret it later), I’d love to win this! I’m expecting my first baby mid-February and I’m starting to research good quality nursing bras to support (and lift) the girls up! Anyone else out there need some extra lift?! ???? If I won I’d definitely choose a nursing bra.
I would love to win a nice nursing bra! Now pregnant with my 4th baby and have never owned a nice nursing bra so this would surely be a treat!
i would choose the Mama Mia nursing bra. Due in April with my third and just tossed all my old ones as well.
I have twin girls and am due with a baby boy in May, so I would chose a nursing bra!
There’s so many good ones to choose from, but I’m leaning towards the Lace Tisha Bra, so pretty! Thank you for the giveaway! 🙂
I would love a good quality nursing bra! I am a first time mom to be. Baby boy is due this month!!
Thanks for the great info for this first time momma-to-be!
One of my good friends is about to be a first time momma, and I know she would love to have a good nursing bra! Only great friends would get the other a great bra for mommy hood!
I definitely need a solid nursing bra! I love a good T-shirt bra and something solid to hold up my big “girls” lol
I would get the Full Coverage Safari Invisible Comfort Bra.
Never looked in o a quality nursing bra, only worn nursing camis for a straight year+ ????
I would choose a nursing bra! On baby #5 right now (one month old) and I’ve also never invested in a decent nursing bra!
I’m 26 weeks pregnant with my second child and I never found a nursing bra I liked with my first. Hoping this bra does it for me!
I would pick the t-shirt bra! I need a good everyday bra that’s comfortable!
I just had baby #2 and could definitely use a new nursing bra. I have also always bought the cheap ones and you’re right they definitely don’t last. Love reading your blog and watching your Instagram stories!!
I’ll have to look into these – due in June but am definitely plan on investing in better bras this time and not the crap I got from Target last time.
That’s one thing I told my self this pregnancy I was going to
Invest in, a good nursing bra. I had such crappy ones before that didn’t do anything!
This is something I need to focus more on! Why wouldn’t I invest in a good bra?! I would love to get the T-shirt one!
Thank you Lauren! My big boobs need a good bra! LOL This mama needs a proper liftage bra!
T-shirt bras are always my favorite!!
first baby coming soon! Loving all of the advice on how to get ready for baby including nursing bra recommendations. Do you have separate nursing and pumping bra recommendations? or do you use an all in one?
SOO true! Cute bras!!
I just gave birth a week ago and now realize the importance of having a good nursing bra! With the growing breasts, proper support is essential! I would definitely choose a nursing bra!!
Oh. Em. Gee! They even have my ‘milk boob’ size! I’m slightly in shock by this. There is only the mama mia bra in this size, so I guess I would have to go with that one.
Infinite T-Shirt Bra, is my daily go to and love it.
Id choose the T-shirt bra.
Breastfeeding is a full time job and I definitely agree that a quality nursing bra is a MUST!
Hey lauren!! I would LOVE a chance to a nice bra for nursing:) I am due with my first here in March and have no clue what to get or expect, so would be supper helpful! Love your blog and follow you on snap all the time!! Hope you got all the mice;) xoxo
The t-shirt bra! You look amazing Lauren! 🙂
Don’t think I realized how important a nursing bra is. I am guilty of purchasing the $20 ones from Target, hope I win and receive a good nursing bra since they are on the pricier side!
Katia
I am having a baby in March, and would LOVE to try one of the nusing bras. Good ones are hard to find!
Due with my third and would love to have a good bra for nursing. I’ve been like you and bought cheap ones that don’t last!
I will be a first time mama in May and would LOVE a good nursing bra! So excited to see pictures of your sweet boy when he arrives! 🙂
The Mama Mia bra sounds perfect! I too did not invest in a quality nursing bra with my first and I really regret it. I would love to have a nice bra like this for baby boy #2 that’s coming in February:)
I’m just like you with the nursing bras! I bought such crappy ones for my first baby and now they are pretty much useless for baby number 2! I’ve been wearing a nursing tank but will definitely need something with more support when I head back to work and I would love to win one of the momma Mia!
I’m so glad you got good news on baby this week and I hope your little ???? problem goes away soon!
I’m due in Feb and was just thinking about how I needed to invest in a good bra this time around!
I would choose the tee shirt bra!!
I’m having my first baby in 6 weeks-ish and originally thought the same thing … why spend money on nursing bras? After reading your post I’m looking forward to doing some further research on nursing bras/clothes. This nursing bra would be a great start to some necessities I will be purchasing. Thank you for your insight!
I would get the Linguine Bra. I finished nursing my first baby three months ago, and NONE of my bras fit!
I would choose the Mama Mia nursing bra, it’s gorgeous! I’m due in April 🙂
Such an awesome giveaway! My son is due on March 10th. He is my second baby and he and my daughter will be 15 months apart (pray for me!). My nursing bras are trashed and gross…excited to look at these beautiful options!
I have a blast following you and getting to take a peak into your everyday life. You crack me up. Keep the dance parties coming!
In need of a good t-shirt bra!!
Nursing bra would be great! Due in February with #2 – a baby girl this time!
Number 2 coming early February! Definitely looking to invest into some essential pieces.. soooo true: you get what you pay for! So many of my nursing items from my first born can’t be used again!! Thanks for the post :)) and yaaaaa for the rest of your pregnancy being as normal as possible!!
Great info!
I love Le Mystere bras. They are seriously the best. I am 20 weeks pregnant and still fitting in my regular bras but I can’t wait to try their nursing bras!
A nursing bra for sure! I pulled my maternity clothes out of storage and those bras are so sad looking! They look like they got ran over by a truck! ????????♀️
I’d love the Mama Mia nursing bra! I’m guilty of only getting those cheap bralettes because they’re so comfy but no support and they sure aren’t flattering with a tighter shirt…
This giveaway is coming at a perfect time. My daughters two weeks old and I’m engorged and soaking through regular sports bras because they were stretchy enough to fit my newly heavy, milk-filled breasts. The T-shirt bra looks like a dream!
I am on my second child and still have not been able to enjoy a nice nursing bra.. can’t even tell you what it would feel like. I am pumped to have this opportunity at a chance though! No pun intended.. Thanks Lauren for all you do!
With my daughter I only had two nursing bras the entire time and both were horrible. Now with my baby boy, I have already started slowly investing in better quality nursing bras. I would definitely love to try out the Mama Mia nursing bra if I was the winner!
I would love to win a nursing bra! Second due in June. Could use a good one! Thanks!
Thank you for sharing! I’ve only purchased bras from Victoria’s Secret, so I’d be interested to try and wear something different. The Sophia Lace bra would be my first purchase!
Thank you for this I can honestly say this is something I did not treat myself to and let’s be real looking back at pictures is going to be hard. The girls are not looking their best ????
I’m pregnant right now with number 2 and would love to invest in a good bra this time around! With everything our bodies go through, we definitely deserve it!! I would choose the nursing bra! Thank you for all your motherhood and pregnancy tips Lauren!
I would be so grateful to win a nice nursing bra 🙂
Baby girl due this month!! Would definitely choose the nursing bra!
Oh I SO need this! I’d love the T-shirt bra!
I would love to win the nursing bra! I’m due in January
my baby is three months old I would love the t-shirt bra!
I would love a quality nursing bra! I am pregnant with baby #3 (our third daughter, yes, 3 girls) and due in March. My last nursing bras were flimsy and thin and didn’t fully cover my crazy nursing boobs. ????
T-shirt bra for sure!!!! Love your blog!!!
I love that these look to add shape vs the sleep nursing bras I wore with my first two! Due with Baby #3 February 2nd and would love to win one of these beautiful nursing bras. Would make a huge difference in postpartum self confidence and make my husband say oooo la la!
I am having a little girl in March and would get a nursing bra!! Thanks for hosting this giveaway!
I definitely think nursing bras are essential! That’s all I’ve been wearing for the last 9 months of my life and I’m hoping to continue til she’s a year!
I am pregnant with baby #2! I never invested in a nursing bra for the same reason,”they will get ruined” but my boobs always looks weird because of the cheap bra lol I am also like you in the size department….before and after breastfeeding haha!
I’m 28 weeks preggo and I’ve been looking for a great momma bra! I’m a first time momma so google has been my best friend. My husband and I google everything. I’d love to win a comfy momma bra.
The Mama Mia sounds nice. About to have my first and need an excuse not to be cheap and go the target route!!!
3 cheers for happy ta tas!!!! ????
I’d go with your recommendation of the Mama Mia bra !
I’m due 12/27 and would get either the mama Mia or sexy mama nursing bra!
Tshirt bra
Starting to pack my hospital bag and just threw out all my old nursing bras – they definitely weren’t doing anyone any favors. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve had le mystere bras in the past and would love another. Great quality and fit.
Baby due any day now! Nursing has never been easy for me and I’ve never had a nice nursing bra (they all look so grandma-like and don’t do ANYTHING for someone’s figure, uck!) I’d love to win one but may buy one if I don’t ????
Would love to try the nursing bra!! Having a baby boy at the end of January!! <3 I have loved following you since I found you a couple months ago. Thank you for being so transparent (and funny)!
Wow, these bras are gorgeous!! We are due with a baby girl in March, and I did the same thing as you with my 1st: I wore Target low cost nursing bras and really didn’t love how they looked under clothes! Thanks for the reality check and reminder that it’s OK for us to treat ourselves!! 🙂
I think a nice nursing bra sounds well deserved after the whole “ring of fire” I will experience for the first time in March. ???? Ha! I love your honesty & style. Much love! ????
I am nursing an almost 8 month old (I don’t know how that happened so fast.) I have yet to purchase a really good nursing bra. Lately I have noticed that I don’t feel comfortable in my clothes and I think it is due to not wearing a good bra. I would love the Le Mystère Mama Mia Maternity Nursing Bra. I need a full coverage bra because the girls have definitely enlarged since nursing.
I would Choose the t-shirt bra. I have the mama Mia and the sexy mama and I LOVE them both! Le Mysterre has the best nursing bras! I have tried so many different brands and nothing compares to Le Mysterre 🙂
I’m due in March and just started browsing for nursing related items, including bras! I would love to try one of these!
I’m still nursing my little guy; after a year now I totally think it would have been so worth it to invest in a really nice, supportive, good quality nursing bra! These look amazing!
First off I absolutely love watching your inta live posts! I am pregnant with my first and have been struggling with weather or not to buy a nursing bra, so I would love the opportunity to try one from this company. Thanks for all the helpful tips!!!
XoSarah
So excited about this giveaway- I’m prego for the first time and have never even heard of good nursing bras! Just thought there were those sportsbra looking ones! Thanks for the insight and for the giveaway Lauren- always look forward to your insta and blog posts!
currently nursing my one week old babe while wearing a cheap target nursing bra from my first pregnancy lol… def in need of a new bra!!
So many choices, gravitated towards the Mama Mia Nursing. It was simple yet flirty with the small touch of sheer!
T-shirt bra looks awesome!
I’m totally in the same boat with not having a good nursing bra. I actually even am using hand me downs from my sister-in-law. ???????? It’s so unfortunate. So I would definitely get a nursing bra if I won the giveaway!
I would get a push up bra.
I might choose the Le Mystère The Perfect 10 Bra!
Gorgeous bras! I love the Sophia lace bra! ????
I’m due July 22nd with our first baby , so this would be wonderful to win a nursing bra. I’m all about good supoort and good bras during non-pregnancy, so I’m sure I will be while nursing too! Thanks for the opportunity.
A good everyday T Shirt bra. Only have two right now that cost less than 5$ each????
I’m pregnant now with my second. With my first I had the worst nursing bras. I’ll have to look into a good one!
I’d choose the mama Mia nursing bra. I’m pregnant with our third, but after our second I tossed all the horrible, cheap nursing bras and tanks so I’m back at square one. This post has been so helpful! Thanks Lauren!
YES YES def need a good nursing bra! I’ve been nursing my first son for 7 months and I’m over due for an upgrade.
I’m pregnant with number two and with my first child my bras were so uncomfortable and added so much extra discomfort to my sore chest. It was an added challenge to an already difficult nursing relationship. Hands down would get a nursing bra that fits my needs this time around!
I am not currently nursing so I think I would choose the Infinite T-Shirt Bra if I were to win!! I don’t have any super nice bras (I usually go to the under $20 Target ones too! ????) so it would be great to try a nice one for once! Especially after nursing twins and a singleton I need all the help I can get in that area if you know what I mean – Ha! Thanks for the great giveaway opportunity! ????
I would love the Mama Mia bra!! I’m due with my first baby girl January 18th! 🙂
My sister just had her first baby 3 weeks ago, so I would get her the nursing bra you featured!
Love the look of this nursing bra- looks comfortable AND pretty!
Need a good everyday bra! Thanks for the great giveaway!
I would probably choose the T-Shirt bra, I am almost done nursing my almost one year old!
Infinite t shirt bra
I’m pregnant with our first and can take all the help I can get so thank you so much! I was looking for good bras for both during pregnancy and post!
xx, Christine
http://www.shesjustmysister.com
I love the one you’re wearing! Thanks so much for the chance to win.
I totally agree. I have an almost 7 month old. I am still nursing and wear my good nursing bra every day! So worth the extra money!!
Underwire bra’s make my ducts clog (sorry TMI) So I would defintely choose a bra without an underwire
Thank you for this opportunity! I’d love a new nursing bra, my second little one is due early March! I love your blog, so relatable and real!!
I just found I’m pregnant with my first (6 weeks along) and my boobs have been SO sore that none of my bras are comfortable anymore. I would love to win a cozy looking bra like this and finally feel some relief! The sheer one you’re wearing is so pretty!
I’d have to choose the mama mia nursing bra, i keep getting cheap ones and this one looks so comfortable.
