Plus Size Nursing and Pumping Bras

A plus size nursing bra is designed for breastfeeding directly at the breast and typically features a clip-down or pull down cup design for easy nursing access.

A plus size pumping bra is designed for pumping moms to help hold breast pump flanges in place. While some hands free pumping bra styles require you to purchase them separately from your nursing bras, many modern designs function as both nursing and hands-free pumping bras. We highly recommend the Davin & Adley Amelia Cami for plus size moms who both nurse and pump.

A plus size nursing bra should feel supportive but not restrictive, with no digging in at the cup, straps or band. Your bra should comfortably accommodate breast changes and growth during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Proper fit is especially important for larger cup sizes to ensure comfort and support throughout the day with plenty of coverage.

It's important to always measure and review the sizing chart before selecting a size. If you’re unsure of your size, we offer free bra sizing consultations to help you decide!

The best plus size nursing bra for large cup sizes is the Davin & Adley Amelia Cami. This style provides medium support, wider straps, and flexible sizing while still allowing easy breastfeeding access (both nursing and pumping).

We recommend always looking for bras made with soft, stretchable fabrics that can support larger cup sizes without uncomfortable underwires. A well-designed plus size nursing bra should feel supportive yet comfortable enough for all-day wear.

Some plus size nursing bras can work with wearable breast pumps, but not all are designed to provide the correct compression, support and stability for a wearable breast pump.

It's best practice to NOT use sports bras for your wearables. These type of bras were not designed to accommodate the large size of a wearable breast pump and can put excess pressure on your breast tissue.

We recommend using plus size pumping bras designed specifically for wearable breast pumps, as they provide the necessary structure to support the large pump capacity.

The Amelia Cami by Davin & Adley is a great nursing and pumping bra option for all wearable breast pumps and collection cups as well as flanges and is available up to size 4X.

Most breastfeeding moms find that 3 to 5 nursing and pumping bras is a great number to start with. This allows you to have a few extra bras available to wear while others are being washed. If you are pumping frequently, it may be a good idea to keep a an extra hands-free pumping bra in your pump bag too. If you are looking to stock up, shop our bra bundles!
