Victoria’s Secret Bra: Can Pink Make Nursing Sexy?

Posted on 07. Aug, 2009 by Becky in Aerobic Apparel

As I approached my due date and I dug through my boxes, I came across these bunchy, white, shapeless items…were they huge socks? Granny panties? Nope, I’m talking about those floppy monstrosities known as nursing bras. Its actually ironic that they call these lovelies bras at all, since the whole idea behind a bra is to provide support, and these puppies tend to leave you hanging (literally) just when you need them the most.

So I went to Victoria’s Secret, my most trusted source to work wonders on my post-nursing chest, to see if they could help this nursing mom feel like a hot mama, rather than an old grandma.

1. Nursing Plunge Bra $44
This little beauty is a good nursing bra. The cups come down easily, the material is soft and durable, but I have to say, I don’t believe it is far above and beyond the type of bras you can get for half the price. Like most nursing bras, this bra just doesn’t provide the lift you need as those heavy little mamas start to head south. The only thing sexier about this bra than your run-of-the-mill department store brand is that it’s got Victoria’s Secret name on it.

2. Piped Nursing Full-Coverage Bra $47
This is the sexy little number I was hoping for from Victoria’s Secret. With the help of underwiring, this product perks everything up and gives that new cleavage the lift it needs. Unfortunately, the underwiring does pose a problem for nursing moms. The wire can actually interfere with your milk ducts, resulting in a clog, or even an infection. So, my advice…splurge on this one for those special nights out where you want to feel young and sexy, but leave it out of your everyday wardrobe. Beauty can be painful, but risking mastitis is a little excessive, don’t you think?
