VS Postpartum Bras & Panties
At Victoria's Secret, we understand the importance of having functional and comfortable undergarments, especially as a new mother. That’s why we designed our collection of supportive nursing bras with a woman’s changing body in mind, resulting in a line of soft-to-the-touch pieces that prioritize practicality. Remember, in addition to our postpartum-friendly bras, we also offer a wide variety of underwear designed to support you in the days and weeks following childbirth. We recommend stocking up on our comfortable and protective period panties to help make your recovery process more comfortable.

Nursing & Maternity Bra Brands at Victoria’s Secret
At Victoria’s Secret, we’re proud to carry a wide selection of coveted nursing and maternity bra brands. Shop bestselling collections by renowned favorites like Hotmilk,
Cosabella and Leonisa. We recommend choosing a nursing bra designed with thoughtful details like one-handed clasps or drop-down cups for easy access to the breast. Choose from our selection of wireless and underwire options depending on your desired support level, and further tailor your experience with adjustable straps and back closures for an even more comfortable and secure fit.
Also known as breast pads, nursing pads are absorbent pieces of material that can be placed inside your nursing bra to prevent leaks. A must-have for any nursing mother, nursing breast pads come in both disposable and reusable options depending on your personal needs and preferences.
Use the strategically-placed, easy-to-use clasps or hooks located on the front of the bra to pull the cup down, exposing your nipple for breastfeeding.
During pregnancy, it’s perfectly normal for your breast size to increase, so we recommend measuring your band size at the widest part of your ribcage and adding between 2 and 4 inches depending on your desired fit and unique body. To determine your cup size, measure around the fullest part of your breasts and subtract your band size. Every inch difference between your band and cup measurement is equivalent to a cup size. For example, a 1-inch difference is an A cup, a 2-inch difference is a B cup, a 3-inch difference is a C cup, and so on. Remember that your bra size may continue to change throughout your pregnancy and the postpartum period, so it’s important to regularly check your size and adjust as needed. Our bra size calculator is specially designed to help you determine your ideal size throughout every stage of your pregnancy and postpartum journey.
We recommend changing your nursing pads every time you breastfeed or when they become saturated. This will help prevent leaks and keep you feeling comfortable and dry.
It’s a good idea to have at least 2-3 nursing bras on hand, so you can rotate them and always have a clean one available. If you plan to use a breast pump, you may also want to consider a nursing pumping bra for added convenience.
