How to choose maternity underwear How to choose 1 maternity underwear
1, necessity
The breast changes obviously after pregnancy, so it is necessary to choose a suitable underwear for the expectant mother.
2, pay attention to the point
(1) Pay attention to softness, comfort and size when selecting. This fabric is best made of breathable and sweat-absorbent cotton. As for the size, it is generally more appropriate to be one or two sizes larger than usual.
(2) If the fabric is of good quality, it is not easy to deform even if it is washed several times. Wide shoulder strap design provides stronger support.
(3) Chest pads are generally placed in pockets to make the chest tall and straight.
(4) The bottom circumference is elastic and elastic, and the expectant mother is very obedient to wear. In addition, collars and armbands also have this design.
Generally speaking, there are two styles of underwear for pregnant women: nursing bra and casual bra. Nursing bra is not only suitable for pregnancy, but also convenient for lactation. In the late pregnancy, you might as well buy this bra with special design, economy and convenience. Casual underwear is more suitable for wearing at home or at rest, and it is also more considerate in design. This bra does not need a steel bracket, but uses a special design to stabilize the chest from the chest, adding comfort to the swollen breasts during pregnancy.
3. Adaptability
You can continue to wear it during lactation except during pregnancy. There are three reasons. First, the shoulder strap is a movable buckle style, which can be adjusted as needed after delivery without taking off the bra. Secondly, mild steel has good soft supporting force, which can support all breasts, protect them from deformation when they grow, set off the W shape and prevent them from sagging; Third, its cross-sectional design gathers the chest image in the middle, which can show the curvy beauty of the body even during pregnancy.
What kind of underwear do pregnant women buy?
1, flexible adjustment: it is best to choose underwear that can flexibly adjust the shoulder strap and back hook, because in addition to the continuous increase of breasts, the thickness and bust size above the chest and shoulders will also increase, and the adjustable plastic design can be adjusted at any time according to physiological changes.
2. Reserve a certain space: Because during pregnancy, the breasts may increase by 2-3 cups, so when choosing underwear, it is recommended to reserve space for two fingers. If you are worried that it will be too loose at first, you can use a "breast pad" to fill the extra space, which can not only protect the sensitive nipple, but also suck the secreted milk.
3, the shoulder strap is elastic and soft steel underwear: the current soft steel wire has good elasticity and good support, which can fully support the chest without oppressing the breast. In addition, the shoulder strap with enhanced elasticity can completely support the breast and reduce the burden on the shoulder and neck. If pregnant mommy is prone to chest tightness in the early stage, or breast swelling is serious due to breastfeeding, it is recommended to wear breastfeeding casual or sports clothes to reduce chest compression, while front underwear is more convenient for breastfeeding.
4, comfortable and breathable, natural material: affected by hormones, pregnant mommy has a high body temperature and is prone to sweating. In addition, the skin is sensitive at this time. Choose a material that absorbs sweat and breathes well, which will not cause skin allergies and eczema.
