The Effortless Bra

Color

The Everything Bra

Color
Size

This dynamic duo offers our best selling Stage 1 fit while giving you options, letting you choose the style to do you, throughout your days and across your breastfeeding journey.

The same. But different. These two bras share important traits, but with unique qualities that give each their own style. The major difference? The Everything Bra has clip-down nursing access; The Effortless Bra is pull-down. The Everything Bra is an easy scoop neck style to let fluctuating breasts breathe, while The Effortless Bra has a chic triangle silhouette that looks like a regular bralette.

The customer-favorite fit and feel is identical. Both bras feature a wide, longline underbust band, ultra-soft and stretchy fabric designed for around the clock wear. Complete with our signature soft fabric that meets the OEKO-TEX 100 safety standard which tests against a list of over 1000 harmful substances both bras provide the ultimate comfort from pregnancy through postpartum and beyond. 

When it comes to adjustable design details, they’re the same with our signature five-row back closure and slider straps to accommodate size fluctuations. No constriction or compression here – both were designed with a lactation consultant to optimize breast health through every stage of breastfeeding, especially Stage 1, when the risk of complications is highest.

Why You'll Love It

The Effortless Bra

  • Clip-free, pull-down quick and easy nursing access
  • High stretch, low tension elastic straps for comfortable pull-down access

The Everything Bra

  • One-handed, clip-down easy nursing access (elastic neckline can also pull down for immediate access, which can be helpful in the early days)

Both Designs

  • Our fabrics are made to the OEKO-TEX 100 safety standard which tests against a list of over 1000 harmful substances.
  • Slider-adjustable straps for cup fluctuations
  • Signature five-row back closure for band size changes
  • Wide underbust band for light support with no points of constriction
  • Wider straps for sizes L & XL for comfort
  • Developed with a lactation consultant to optimize breast health from pregnancy through every stage of breastfeeding

Why aren't pads included?

In Stage 1, we don’t recommend fixed or structured padding. During this time, the risk of experiencing common breastfeeding ailments is at its highest. If you are looking for coverage that padding provides, we highly recommend utilizing solutions like nursing pads. Our Low Profile Breast Pads were designed exactly for this – because they are not fixed and against your breast, they provide mobility that is necessary when experiencing engorgement. While fixed padding is not optimized for Stage 1, if you do prefer coverage with a more built-in feel, we designed a slit on each side for you to insert your own padding.

How to choose a bra that optimizes your breast health.

Months 0-3 Postpartum

In Stage 1, you will likely experience major fluctuations as your body adapts to increasing levels of milk production. This is when breasts are most likely to get engorged and the associated risks of clogged ducts and mastitis is highest.

WE RECOMMEND

All-day and sleeping:
No bra or a super stretchy, non-compressive bra, like The Everything Bra or The Effortless Bra

For pumping or more support:
You can wear a more structured bra—like The So Easy Bra, or The Do Anything Bra—for 3 hours or less. In Stage 1 you’re at greater risk for complications like plugged ducts and mastitis, which is why we recommend wearing more compressive bras – like pump bras – for only a few hours. The idea is that you want to avoid becoming engorged, or even full of milk, while wearing a compressive bra. In Stage 1, that happens more frequently, hence the 3-hour limit for wearing compressive bras during this period.

Months 3-6 Postpartum

In Stage 2, your breasts are still adjusting to lactation, but fluctuations are less extreme. This means the frequency of engorgement decreases so you can introduce a bit of support in your all-day bra.

WE RECOMMEND

All-day:
You can introduce more shape and support as long as it still stretches with fluctuations — like The So Easy Bra. For sleeping:
If you are lactating, you should always go back to a Stage 1 Bra — like The Everything Bra or The Effortless Bra — or no bra at night when breasts are most full.

For pumping or more support:
You can wear a more structured bra — like The Do Anything Bra — for 4 hours or less. In Stage 2 you’re still at increased risk for complications like plugged ducts and mastitis, so we recommend wearing more compressive bras – like pump bras – for several hours at most. The idea is that you want to avoid becoming engorged, or even full of milk, while wearing a compressive bra. In Stage 2 that happens more frequently, hence the 4-hour limit for wearing compressive bras during this period.

Months 6+ Postpartum

In Stage 3, your breasts have adjusted more and fluctuate less. The fat content of your milk also increases and the rate of your baby's growth slows, so feeding may be less frequent. With that, the risk of complications is much lower (but not zero), so it's safe to wear a bra with more support during the day.

WE RECOMMEND

All-day:
You can wear a more structured bra — like The Do Anything Bra — as long as you pump or nurse every 3-4 hours to avoid engorgement.

For sleeping:
If you are lactating, you should always go back to a Stage 1 bra — like The Everything Bra or The Effortless Bra — or no bra at night when breasts are most full.

Pre-Lactation

While pregnant, the bra you wear comes down to comfort. Only once you are lactating does your bra impact breast health. Until birth, wear what feels good.

Bodily Tip: During pregnancy, the balance of support and stretch in our Stage 2 bra — The So Easy Bra — is an ideal combination to maximize comfort through your bodily changes.

Did You Know?

Most common breastfeeding issues are linked to the bras we wear. But wearing a bra that you like shouldn't expose you to features that can negatively impact milk supply, or potentially increase risk of clogged ducts and mastitis. That's why we created a system for selecting bras that makes it easy to optimize for breast health (check out The Stages of Breastfeeding for choosing a nursing bra that's right for you), and designed all of our bras together with a lactation consultant.
