Nursing Bras: Advantages and Disadvantages of Wired Bras vs. Non-Wired Bras
For many years, nursing bras were primarily only available without underwires. The concern was that underwired nursing bras could restrict milk flow into the breast and cause clogged milk ducts, or Mastitis, an inflammation or infection in the breast. This concern about wires causing clogged milk ducts or Mastitis has subsided, as there are many other factors that can contribute to the conditions, although it is still important to wear a properly fitted bra while you're nursing to reduce this risk.
Most women in D+ cups wear an underwired bra for everyday wear, so switching to a non-wired nursing bra can seem like a compromise. Here we've broken down the benefits of nursing bras with and without wires, as well as the disadvantages of each.
