If you’re a runner who wants to exercise throughout her pregnancy (and afterward), you know that you need to find a special combo running-nursing bra that you can rely on. These bras are nearly mythical, though. There are plenty of nursing sports bras for low-impact exercise, like yoga and walking, but there aren’t many bras for medium- to high-impact exercise. That’s why we did some digging and found the best nursing sports bras for running, so you don’t have to compromise your exercise routine (unless your doctor advises you to do so).
Our three picks are designed with runners in mind. These bras all have easy-access front closure, so you can feed your baby before or after your jog. The bras provide you with plenty of support, ensuring that you won’t be bouncing around in a painful way when you’re on mile three out of five. Two of our options have panels that’ll hide or obscure any leaks. In addition to being practical, these sports bras are stylish. You’ll feel and look good wearing them. Runner moms-to-be might even make the decision to wear only sports bras throughout the rest of their pregnancies.
