4 of the best affordable maternity and breastfeeding bras

Having a baby can be expensive with many essential items you need to buy for yourself, and your baby. While you are pregnant you may need to buy a maternity bra and many can later be used for breastfeeding. However, there are many inexpensive options available.

Finding the right maternity and breastfeeding bra can be tricky, especially if you are buying online. You need to make sure that the bra you choose gives you the required comfort and support, which is also functional for breastfeeding once your baby arrives, if that’s what you choose.

In this article, we will explore the best affordable maternity and breastfeeding bra options available for expectant mothers.

Choosing an affordable maternity bra

Getting started

Before you purchase any maternity or breastfeeding bra you should get yourself measured by a professional. This will make sure that you are buying the right size and will prevent discomfort later on. If you are pregnant when you are purchasing your bras you should purchase them towards the end of your pregnancy as your body and breasts will change as your pregnancy progresses.

You can get measured at many department stores or most stores which sell lingerie, these fittings are usually free and will be taken in privacy. 

Money-saving tip

Maternity bras often have breastfeeding options with clasps to allow for easy access during breastfeeding. Buying a good maternity bra with a breastfeeding function will save you from purchasing additional bras when your baby arrives.

Adjustable bras or bras made from stretchy yet supportive materials will also reduce the need to buy separate bras, as the bra will be able to accommodate your changing body.

Final thoughts

Finding an affordable maternity and breastfeeding bra can be a challenge, with many options available. However, there is no need to splurge on a maternity bra or buy multiple separate bras for maternity and breastfeeding.

Finding a bra that is dual-purpose that can be used during pregnancy and for breastfeeding will help keep costs low. Many maternity bras are also adjustable and can be used post-birth for breastfeeding due to their stretchy soft fabrics.

Making sure that you get measured by a professional and choosing your bra carefully will help you feel more confident post-partum and more prepared for your breastfeeding journey.

Oh and don't forget to pack your bras in your hospital bag, as they will be essential once your baby arrives.

Why Borro clothes?

Renting means less waste, more wardrobe flexibility and no more piles of outgrown clothes. It’s a smarter, more sustainable way to dress your little ones.

With Borro, you get high-quality kidswear without the commitment, just what you need, when you need it. Helping you save time, save money, and save the planet.

What about stains?

Don't panic! Let us worry about the stains. Stain insurance is included. Obviously it's best to prevent stains if you can, or treat them as soon as possible. But we will never charge you.

If the garment can't be saved, it will be upcycled or recycled. Nothing ever goes to landfill, and we'll never charge you.

Subscription & exchanges

Subscription

All the clothes are individually priced and there's no minimum amount or set subscription - we're flexible!

Rent as many/few things as you like and you'll see at checkout what your monthly subscription will be. (If you want us to pick out a coordinated bundle of 10 items for you, it's £29/month).

Exchanges

We know little ones grow as fast as the weather changes! You don't need to return your previous order to order new clothes, so simply send back items whenever you no longer have a need for them, and add any new items to your subscription, by adding them to your basket and checking out.

Delivery & returns

Delivery

Your order will be packed and dispatched the next working day. Delivery takes 2-3 working days.

Returns

Pop them inside the bag/box they came in, attach the free pre-paid returns label, then drop off at your nearest Evri ParcelShop.

We only include one pre-paid returns label per order, so if you choose to send just some of an order back and the rest later, you will need to pay for the postage of the second return. 

Once we've received your items we will amend your subscription so you only pay for what you've got.

We recommend returning items 4-5 days before your subscription renews in order to allow enough time for delivery and processing to avoid your next monthly payment going out. If you're a few days late, you can always cancel online (use the link in the order confirmation email). As long as we receive the clothes within the next few days, that's fine.

Sustainability

At Borro we maximise the use of each item of clothing by providing a service that ensures it's well maintained, repaired and enjoyed by as many families as possible.

So if a garment is used by 6 different users, the global warming potential is 49% less, with a CO2e (kg) per user of 1.18, instead of 2.29.
