Size guide

Below you'll find a general guide to help you find your size and practical tips for a comfortable fit. During pregnancy and postpartum, the priority is to avoid compression: a proper garment provides support without pinching and adapts to the body's changes.

How to measure yourself to determine the right size

To find the right size, you will need three basic measurements:

• Bust: Place the measuring tape around the fullest part of your bust, keeping it straight at the back.
• Underbust measurement: Place the measuring tape around your rib cage, just below your breasts.
• Hips: Place the tape measure around the fullest part of your hips, usually around the buttocks.

Once you have your measurements, you can refer to the size chart on each product page to find the most suitable size.

Maternity Shirts, Dressing Gowns and Knitwear

In addition to measurements, also consider the style of the garment you want. Some models have more adaptable cuts and panels to accommodate your growing belly, while others have a looser fit that can be comfortable even after pregnancy. For nightwear, prioritize comfort and freedom of movement: the garment should not pull on your abdomen and breasts, especially during sleep.

Maternity and Nursing Bra

A maternity bra should have a cup that fits snugly around the breast (including the sides), and the underbust should not be constricting or digging. Typically, you start wearing one around the fourth month, or when your breasts change and your usual bras become uncomfortable. It's helpful to start with the fastening at its tightest, to allow for later adjustments.

For nursing bras, often purchased before giving birth, consider that breasts can still grow. In many cases, it can be helpful to choose a more generous fit and adjustable styles (with closures and straps) to accommodate changes in your body during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Maternity Girdles, Bands and Briefs

Maternity girdles are generally worn starting in the sixth month. Choose the coverage and style you prefer, but be careful not to buy garments that are too tight around the waist or legs. Postpartum girdles, on the other hand, are often chosen based on your usual pre-pregnancy size, always favoring comfortable, non-constrictive support. For maternity tights and panties, choose stretchy, breathable materials that fit comfortably around your belly without constricting.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

1. How to choose the right maternity size?

Start with your usual size and check your measurements (bust, underbust, and hips). The most important rule is comfort: underwear should not dig in or squeeze, especially under the bust and on the stomach. If a garment pulls or leaves deep marks, it's likely the size or construction isn't right for you.

2. Will the size change during pregnancy?

Yes, it can change. Many women notice changes, especially in their breasts and abdomen, from the second trimester onwards. If your clothes start to feel tight, constricting, or lose stability, it's time to reconsider your size or style.

3. How many breast sizes can you increase during pregnancy?

There's no hard and fast rule: some women go up one size, others two or three (or more). It's helpful to periodically monitor your fit and choose bras with good adjustability.

4. When should I start buying maternity clothes?

When your usual clothes start to feel uncomfortable (often between the end of the third and fourth month). It's best to start wearing a maternity bra as soon as your breasts begin to change, so you get the right support and greater comfort.

5. When to buy a maternity bra?

Typically around the fourth month of pregnancy, or when the breasts change and the usual bras become too tight. The underbust should remain stable without digging in, and the cup should support without compressing.

6. When should you buy a nursing bra?

If you buy a bra before giving birth, consider that your breasts may still grow. For this reason, it's often best to choose a more generous fit and adjustable styles to accommodate your changing body shape.

7. What is the difference between a maternity bra and a nursing bra?

Maternity bras are designed to accommodate the changes in your breasts during pregnancy. Nursing bras are designed to facilitate breastfeeding after giving birth: they usually have openable cups or snap-on systems for convenient access to your breasts.

8. Signs your bra size isn't right

• The underbust leaves deep marks or is annoying: it may be too tight.
• The band at the back rides up: underbust too loose or incorrect support.
• The cup “cuts” or the breast comes out: cup too small.
• The cup creases or remains empty: cup too large or unsuitable model.
• The shoulder pads dig in: the support is often not distributed correctly.

9. When does it become uncomfortable to wear pants during pregnancy?

Often, toward the end of the third month, you begin to lose your waistline, and your pants/jeans may become more uncomfortable. This is a good sign to start considering more comfortable and adaptable clothing.
