The 6 best padded nursing bras on Amazon

Padded nursing bras provide extra protection for sensitive nipples, preventing milk nipple show-through and milk leaks. Padded bras with contoured or molded cups also give you a nice silhouette under tops.

More importantly, you don’t have deal with removable pads that move and fold at their own will.

Best padded nursing bra overall: Cake Maternity Croissant Nursing Bra

Check it out on Amazon

Why I love the Croissant Nursing Bra

• it’s so soft and light on your skin, like a croissant!
• has molded cups with 3D spacer fabric which is lighter and more breathable than foam cups
• OEKO-TEX certified to be free from harmful chemicals
• has A-frame slings (pictured below) for more support and coverage during breastfeeding

Check it out on Amazon

What I don’t like about it

• The straps are thin like a regular bra’s and isn’t padded so it can be scratchy and cut into your shoulders if you have large breasts.

Bear in mind

• The Croissant Bra has flexi-wires which are not suitable for new moms

Best padded nursing bra for large breasts: Elomi Molly Lace Nursing Bra

Check it out on Amazon

Why I love the Elomi Molly Nursing Bra

• it looks good, and no one would know it’s a nursing bra.
• the stretch lace on the top cup helps you feel sexy
• provide great support up to size 42KK/44HH despite not having flexi-wires
• has a full circle internal foam sling (not the usual side sling) for more support during breastfeeding

What I don’t like about it

• It’s not breathable
• the lace collects lint

Bear in mind

• this bra is not for moms with smaller breasts – there is too much material and the molded cups will gape on you

Best padded nursing bra for small breasts: Natori Feathers Contour Nursing Bra

Check it out on Amazon

Why I love the Feathers Nursing Bra

• the plunge neck line is sexy and flattering
• beautiful lace trim
• doesn’t look like a nursing bra at all
• the molded cups give you a push up effect

What I don’t like about it

• it has a flexi-wire. I feel moms with small breasts get more than enough support from wireless nursing bras

Bear in mind

• it’s not suitable for new moms because of the underwire

Best padded wireless nursing bra: Cake Maternity Tutti Frutti Bamboo Nursing Bra

Check it out on Amazon

Why I love the Tutti Frutti Bra

• it’s amazingly soft and breathable
• the plunge lace neckline and molded cups give my breasts a push up effect
• it’s wireless with a wide underbust band for support
• the racerback design means more support and no falling shoulder straps

What I don’t like about it

• the side slings stretch out quickly so there’s basically no support during breastfeeding

Bear in mind

• you won’t be able to wear spag straps and camis with it

Best padded flexi-wired nursing bra: Cake Maternity Truffles Nursing Bra

Check it out on Amazon

Why I love the Truffles Nursing Bra

• it’s the most beautiful nursing bra I’ve ever tried
• has soft, molded cups and a plunge neckline
• all that lace is lined with cotton to feel comfy on your skin
• OEKO-TEX certified to be free from harmful chemicals

What I don’t like about it

• The side slings were placed very centrally and felt like seat belts on my breasts

Bear in mind

• moms with small breasts like me will find the cups gape despite the size being right

Check out my detailed review of the Truffles Bra.

Best padded nursing sports bra: Cake Maternity Zest Nursing Sports Bra

Check it out on Amazon

Why I love the Zest Nursing Sports Bra

• it’s one of the most supportive nursing sports bras on the market
• has A-slings for added support when breastfeeding
• moisture-wicking and breathable
• wide shoulder straps that don’t cut into your skin

What I don’t like about it

• it’s not comfortable for all-day wear

Bear in mind

• it has a flexi-wire and is not recommended for new moms

To wrap up

Personally, I would choose padded nursing bras any time. It’s wonderful not having to fiddle with nursing pads that move and fold every time I breastfeed.
