Kindred Bravely for Lansinoh Nursing & Wearable Pumping Bra

• We recommend taking a few breaths in and out a couple of times before measuring to relax your ribcage. 
• Measure directly under your breasts (snug, but not tight) while keeping the measuring tape level. Round up or down to the next even, whole number. This even number is your band size, the number part of your bra size. 
• Measure around the fullest part of your breasts while keeping the measuring tape level. This number is your bust size. 
• Subtract your band size from your bust size to find your cup size. Each inch of difference is one letter, so a 5-inch difference would be an E cup (E is the fifth letter in the alphabet). That cup size, coupled with your underbust measurement, is your bra size. 
• If you are in between band sizes, size down if you prefer a tighter band; size up if you prefer a looser band.

Busty sizes are designed for those with larger cup sizes, DDD to I. Busty sizes allow those with larger busts to get the support they need from a well-fitted chest band with plenty of space in the cups. Measure and reference the size chart to find your best fit.

We recommend ordering a bra that you intend to wear after giving birth or fairly late in your third trimester, around 36-37 weeks.

Your body’s shape and size can change rapidly during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and postpartum. We recommend measuring yourself before ordering. Measuring under your breasts and at the fullest part of your breasts is especially important before purchasing your bra.

The typical lifespan of a bra is 6-9 months. Many factors impact the life of a bra, including how often it’s worn, how it’s washed and cared for, and how well it fits. It’s best to give your bras a day of rest in between wearing them.

They can be! If your FSA allows you to set aside part of your paycheck to cover health care costs, breastfeeding-related items may be eligible based on the terms of your plan. We suggest that you contact your plan administrator or FSA provider before you purchase your products to find out what restrictions or specifications your plan may have, or what other documentation you need to provide to receive approval for payment of these expenses as qualified medical expenses under your plan.

First, ensure that your bra fits properly. Check that the chest band lies straight across your back, the straps are adjusted, and your breast tissue sits inside the cups. To best maintain your bras, give them a day of rest between wears (yes, really!). Generally, we recommend hand-washing items with gentle soap in cold water whenever possible, but washing on a gentle cycle in a laundry/lingerie bag can also work. It is always best to line dry your bras; avoid putting your bra in the dryer as this can shorten your bra's lifespan. That said, if you do need to toss a bra in the dryer, be sure to use low heat and avoid drying bras with heavy, scratchy, or sharp things like Velcro or zippers, or anything your bra hooks might catch on such as mesh or tulle. To store your bras, hang them (by both straps!) on a hanger, or, if you keep your bras in a drawer, lay flat. If padding becomes folded in the wash, unfold before drying.
