Can I wear underwear after giving birth?

Women will experience many adverse reactions in their bodies after giving birth, and there are also many taboos in daily life, such as no spicy or cold irritating foods, no smoking, no drinking; getting enough sleep, paying attention to sleeping posture, etc.; in terms of dressing, try to wear loose clothes. Underwear is an indispensable piece of clothing for women, so can women wear underwear after giving birth? Let me introduce it in detail below.

You can’t go without underwear after giving birth: Some mothers think that they don’t need to wear underwear because they need to breastfeed after giving birth, and they think that wearing nursing underwear is very troublesome. In fact, you cannot go without wearing underwear after giving birth, because your breasts will be twice as big as before, especially during breastfeeding. If you don't wear a bra, the fibrous tissue of the chest will not be able to bear such a heavy breast. Doing this for a long time will easily cause the breasts to sag, and it will be difficult to recover afterwards.

So nursing bras are a must to wear, but you don’t have to wear them 24 hours a day. You can choose to take them off at night. You can wear it during the day and untie it when you need to breastfeed! If you feel very hot or your body temperature is high, it is recommended to unbutton your bra to let your chest breathe.

How long should you wear nursing bras: Generally, the breasts will return to their previous size during the seventh or eighth month of pregnancy after one month of delivery. The breasts will change according to the changes during pregnancy. Mothers must pay attention to changes in breast size and change to appropriate sized bras. Nursing bras should generally be worn until four months after delivery, or until the baby is weaned in July or August. In simple terms, they can be worn until the baby is weaned.

Things to pay attention to when wearing underwear during breastfeeding

1. Material: No matter what time, underwear made of pure cotton is always the best. During breastfeeding, you can wear pure cotton underwear, which is not only gentle but also does not irritate the breasts. It has good perspiration-wicking properties and is breathable, keeping your chest as dry and comfortable as possible. It is also washable and durable.

2. Size and style: During breastfeeding, you should not wear bras that are too small or too large. Bras that are too small may affect milk secretion or cause other breast diseases. A bra that is too big won't support your breasts and is only slightly better than wearing nothing. It is recommended to choose full cup bras to protect the breasts in all aspects.

3. Underwire: It is not recommended to choose bras without underwire and support during breastfeeding, because this style feels very tiring to wear, and because the breasts become larger during breastfeeding, if there is no support, it will cause sagging breasts. If you think that underwire bras are uncomfortable to wear, you can buy some soft underwire bras, which can not only highlight the weight of your breasts, but also prevent your breasts from sagging.
