Why do you need a nursing bra?

Traditional bras don’t have room for the diaphragm to grow during pregnancy and they can also have a very rigid metal underwire which is not recommended to wear whilst pregnant or nursing. Femique bras have flexible cups and have extra rows of hooks and eyes (traditional bras have three). This allows room for the diaphragm to expand during the months of pregnancy and the ability to tighten after the baby is born and the diaphragm settles. It also means you’ll be comfortable and have a beautifully supported silhouette!  Comfort is critical.

My skin feels tender and is easily irritated. I need to feel comfortable. 

We know what you mean! Seams and stitching across the nipple area or unlined bras can cause irritation on already sensitive and tender breasts. All Femique bras have either concealed seams or seams designed to avoid the nipple area and therefore the risk of chafing. We also use soft lining for the ultimate comfort, support and breathability.

Why is it so important that nursing lingerie looks as beautiful as yours?

Comfort is critical but you shouldn’t have to compromise with the design because of that! As important to us as the fit, support and practicality of our Femique lingerie is that you will look and feel feminine, sensual and empowered! Pregnancy and being a new mother can be challenging and wearing plain lingerie certainly doesn’t lift the spirits. Femique specializes in designer, feminine lingerie made from exquisite fabrics and laces. Together we can create the best supporting nursing bras there are!
