The bra you dream about when you're bleary-eyed, exhausted, and need breastfeeding to be simple. The Effortless Bra gives you instant, no-fuss access—no clips to fumble with, no learning curve. Just pull down the soft, stretchy neckline and nurse immediately.

Crafted with our signature barely-there fabric and developed alongside an IBCLC, it’s designed to reduce the risk of breastfeeding complications—and to stretch and recover through every stage of pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.

Unlike most pulldown bras that feel bulky or frumpy, the Effortless Bra looks and feels like a sleek, everyday bra: flattering, featherlight, and made for living in. It adapts with you—and keeps its shape—through the many phases your body will move through.

Loved for its all-day, all-night comfort, it’s perfect for the earliest days postpartum, endless nursing marathons, and well beyond the fourth trimester. Built with the features you rely on: OEKO-TEX® certified fabric, zero constriction, 5-row back clasps for an adjustable fit, and breathable softness that moves with you.

Wear it to bed, out the door, or all day without a second thought. It's effortless—and made to last.

  • Developed with an IBCLC lactation consultant

Why aren't pads included?

In the early stages of breastfeeding (Stage 1), your breast tissue is highly sensitive and dynamic. Fixed or structured padding can apply pressure in ways that increase the risk of common breastfeeding complications.

Instead of built-in padding, we recommend using nursing pads.

Our Low Profile Breast Pads are designed to be soft against the skin, allow natural breast movement within the bra, and offer gentle coverage without unnecessary compression. They also provide absorption, using organic materials—unlike most fixed pads, which rely on synthetic materials and chemicals.

For full protection, we also offer Full Coverage Breast Pads for higher absorption needs.

If you prefer a more built-in feel, we designed a slit on each side of The Effortless Bra so you can easily insert your own removable padding.

Your breast health is our priority—especially when it matters most.

Find Your Best Fit

Materials and Care

  • Materials: 49% Viscose; 43% Micromodal; 8% Elastane
  • Care: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Do not bleach. Line dry. Low iron.
  • Designed in NYC and manufactured in China.
  • Our fabrics are made to the OEKO-TEX 100 safety standard which tests against a list of over 1000 harmful substances.

We avoid chemical treatments for stain prevention, so some colors may discolor more easily. To keep your bra stain-free, we recommend using breast pads, as both breast milk and nursing balms contain oils that can leave marks.

How to choose a bra that optimizes your breast health.

Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Pregnancy

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.
