Bodily has some great ones they are very silky! They look cute but they’re also really good for sensitive skin. They are at a bit pricey though it’s called the do anything bra

I get the no-padded bras because the cushioned ones bugged me a lot I threw them out. The ad convinced me since it said it was the best bra and was comfortable but neither of that. I never liked it so I went back to no-padded bras. More comfortable. Try Walmart brand! They were comfortable

I would recommend Hatch the dream feed nursing and sleep bra. It’s pricey but it’s my favorite one out of 3 others I have tried. The material is mostly cotton but super stretchy and soft, not like the scratchy cotton or polyester/ plastic bras. Worth the price in my opinion! It’s true to size for me!

It's different for everybody, but you might want to make sure your baby is latching properly. When my girl latches wrong it makes me very sore, but when she gets on there good I don't have any soreness. I also use Earth Mama Nipple Butter.

@Alexis she said when it comes in contact lol. We don’t know if she is exclusively breastfeeding or exclusively pumping or doing both. She never mentioned she is breastfeeding.

@Lisa Oh that's true! I just know my girl makes me so sore when she doesn't latch right that I can't stand the feeling of fabric on my nipple too

So far I haven’t found a comfortable bra that are soft enough on my nips… I use the gel nipple pads, it soothes my nipples in between feeding and pumping. They don’t slide because they softly stick to you. I’ve even wear them under a tank top no bra when I sleep.

@Alexis @Lisa i am pumping and breastfeeding both which is why I don’t know if the soreness is due to pump or latch issue.

I had the same issues and this bra has been a game changer for bedtime https://a.co/d/dBRpvJ1

Use Lansinoh Nipple cream (or which ever nipple cream you prefer) I used it a lot in the beginning cause I’m a FTM and so breastfeeding was very new to me. I also started to wear soft non-padded bras I can link the bras and nipple cream below. Also Soothies, those were nice. They are gel nipple covers you put them in fridge and then once cold you can put them over your nipples. It was so nice and as the name says it “soothes” them. It’s not long lasting but definitely would recommend. You can get a 2 or maybe they have a 4 pack and you can use them up to like 3 days I think or until the gel becomes spongy like you want to toss them/replace them. I’ll tag all three: Nipple Cream: https://a.co/d/e1UQiq2 Nursing Bras: KUCI Maternity Nursing Bra... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08Q34J4MF?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share Lansinoh Soothies: https://a.co/d/ismRms9
