  • You must not get the size wrong, and just one size more or less makes a notable difference, as in this case it is just a waste: the support effect of the bralet It's null and void, and the side band has no function.

Il bralet during pregnancy

Pregnancy is not only one of the most beautiful times in a woman's life, but also one of the most delicate. During the nine months of gestation, it's important to pay attention not only to your diet but also to your body, starting with breast care, which is more prone to stretch marks and sagging during this period.

From the first months of pregnancy, the breasts undergo a series of changes, including an increase in volume that prepares them for breastfeeding . The breasts do not have their own muscles, and for this reason, they require good support, which is achieved through the use of an appropriate bra.

It's therefore a good idea to evaluate, month after month, whether the bra you've been using up to that point still supports your breasts well or whether it needs to be replaced with a different size. You should change bras as soon as you begin to feel uncomfortable and tight.

Keep in mind that by the end of your pregnancy, you may have gained a couple of cup sizes. After the birth of your baby and the end of breastfeeding, however, your breasts will shrink, although most of the time they almost never return to their pre-pregnancy size.

In some cases, it is necessary to change to a larger bra size starting from the 8th week, in others from the 24th, although in most cases, the bra needs to be replaced again around the 36th: in this case, it is preferable to directly purchase a model that is also suitable for breastfeeding.
