Your Maternity Bra Size Guide.
 Our easy-to-use maternity bra size guide will show you how quick it is to determine bra size for yourself.
All you need to do is take 2 measurements to find your bra size ...
- Your band size (i.e. 32,34,36)
- Your bust size (i.e. A,B,C)
... then it's time to have fun shopping for your new maternity bras!
Do you have your tape measure handy? You're just a few steps away from being ready to go looking for beautiful new maternity lingerie ...
... confident that your choices will fit you well and be just perfect for your maternity wedding day and your honeymoon!
Maternity Bra Size Guide Step 1: Get ready to measure up!
 - Wear your best fitting, most comfortable bra. This should NOT be a padded, minimiser or sports bra.
- Adjust your bra straps so your nipples are roughly half-way between your elbows and your shoulders ... this is where they should be, whatever bra you wear, for maximum comfort and support!
Maternity Bra Size Guide Step 2: Find your band size
Breathe out! You want the measurement here to be as small as possible, so your bra fits comfortably.
- Measure directly under your bust, keeping your tape measure parallel to the floor.
- Round your measurement to the nearest whole inch.
- For an even number, add 4 to gain your band size. (e.g. measurement = 32 + 4 = band size 36)
- For an odd number, add 5 to find your band size. (e.g. measurement of 33 + 5 = band size 38
Bra size guide Step 3: Find your bust size
 - Ensure the tape measure just touches, but is not too tight or too loose.
- Round your measurement up or down to the nearest whole inch.
- Subtract your band size from your bust size measurement to find your cup size from the cup size table below.
(e.g. cup size measurement = 40, band size = 36, difference = 4. This would give cup size D)

What's the difference between maternity bras and nursing bras?
 Nursing brasg(19353)a(1455022)) don't have to be ugly any more!
It's easy to get confused about what the difference is between maternity bras and nursing bras!
This maternity bra size guide wouldn't be complete without letting you know which is which and when you might want to wear either one of them.
Maternity Bras
A maternity bra is the one you'll wear during your pregnancy (and afterwards too if you are not planning to breastfeed.) These bras are very supportive with stretchy cups to allow for your growing breasts.
Nursing Bras
 A nursing bra is the one you'll need after childbirth, when you plan to breastfeed.
The cups usually drop down from a clip to expose one breast at a time and allow feeding. Nursing bras are usually seamless, cotton and very supportive.
