The Very Good Nursing Bra

$99.00 AUD
Size1

We are delighted to offer a world-first, 100% plastic free, unbleached and un-dyed organic cotton nursing bra! Fully funded on Kickstarter in April 2023 and now in stock.

The nursing bra is made from 100% organic cotton, and straps are tree rubber and organic cotton. It is sewn with cellulose thread (made from trees) and the label is printed in the garment with safe, Oeko-Tex certified inks.

This unique cotton nursing bra is highly adjustable, with 6 loops each side enabling it to expand or contract by 6cm each side. A 100% cotton nursing bra breathes, washes well and contains no nasties. It is designed to be a pull down nursing bra and doesn't have drop-down clips.

There are many cotton nursing bras out there, but almost all of them contain spandex and polyester. You deserve better! Our organic cotton nursing bra is the cleanest out there, simply the best nursing bra for you and for baby.

SIZES


We’ve devised a stable of 5 sizes that will grow with you, based on sister sizing, to allow you to minimise the number of bras you need. 

Sister sizing is the traditional method for sizing bras and the formula is - 1 band size up = 1 cup size down

SIZE 1 = 32C/34B/36A

SIZE 2 = 32D/34C/36B

SIZE 3 = 32DD/34D/36C/38B

SIZE 4 = 32E/34DD/36D/38C

SIZE 5 = 32F/34E/36DD/38D


Body Fabric - 100% organic cotton grown in Turkey and processed in Spain by OCC

Sewing thread - 100% Cellulose made by Crafil in Portugal

Elastic - Organic Cotton and natural rubber knitted in Austria for a german developer, Charle Berlin

Labelling - In-garment print labelling at our factory using IOeko-Tex certified inks



This unique bra is highly adjustable, with 6 loops each side enabling it to expand or contract by 6cm each side. It suits women who are just looking for a soft, front fastening bra with a high level of adjustability, you don't have to be nursing!

Didn’t find great for nursing

Was super excited and got two hoping they would be my go-to nursing bras. After getting them I realized that the hooking and unhooking process was much more of a pain than I imagined. I thought they would just unhook from the top ring, but instead I’m reaching under my armpit to unhook and re-secure. I wind up just slipping out from the top to feed my lo. Another problem I have is that I measured myself at 9 month pregnant, sized up from that, and they are still more snug than my liking 4 months pp. The elastic is coming out from one and I truly rarely wear them. I’m sure this company makes fine and comfortable bras, but I don’t think the mechanics of unhooking and re-hooking this one is great for impatient newborns or the longevity of the product.

Hi Eric, I'm so sorry this hasnt worked for you. The bra is a pull down design, as we were unable to find a drop down clip without plastic in it. Readjusting via the side loops every day is way too hard! I'm sorry if that wasnt clear and also that the sizing hasnt worked for you. Thanks for your feedback.

Great Bra

I searched carefully for a bra made with all natural organic materials. Something that I would feel comfortable putting on my body, that wasn't shedding microplastics on my or my baby when he nursed! This bra easily met that requirement. Secondarily, I am approx a 38DD USA size, and I wanted to have better shape than some of the cotton bras out there. I wanted to be able to wear a nice dress and not sag halfway down my belly! I am pleased to say that this bra meets that expectation as well! I can also bend down and touch the floor and upon standing, my breasts are in the same place. Many of the nursing bralette style bras don't hold my breasts as well or offer much support.
Honestly, if the bra met only those expectations and wasn't comfortable, I still would be relatively pleased, because of how difficult it is to find a good bra. But on top of all that this bra is also COMFY- I wore it for the entire day today and it wasn't itchy, it's easy to pull down to nurse, I didn't feel the need to try to adjust the bra or my breasts more than maybe once or twice.
I am very, very happy with this bra and I plan to order another immediately!

Love Ethical, but not the greatest Bra

I bought this bra because it was sustainable, which is true, and I am happy about that. However, as a bra it isn't the greatest. It is really thin and weird fitting when on - I don't really like wearing them out in public as they are quite visible under my clothes, as the fabric is weirdly cut, and my nipples end up showing - I think they would benefit from some padding, which I am going to have to make to insert into the bra just so I can wear them in public. I love the idea of this bra, I am just not suuuper happy that they don't work well for me :(

Not as good as it seemed

I used the size charts and they still did not fit. I love that it’s sustainable and has no plastics but it is too thin and small and poor fitting. Just not very good over all

I'm so sorry for your disappointment. We are happy to refund the bra if unworn?

The only bra that meets my very high bar

I love everything about this bra. It is completely natural and non-toxic, fully adjustable (both straps and at waist), extremely comfortable and produced by a company that actually cares about end to end sustainability and foot print. Recently I went to a big store here in the US where I am and was positively depressed unable to find a single bra that was not plastic. And then I found this company online and although it is in Australia, totally worth it considering all of the benefits. To the company: Please don't ever give up and keep up the good fight. We are in dire need of more of such companies on the planet. I hope you expand to other fabric based products and wish you the very best! I'll definitely be spreading the word.

FAQ

What is the impact of Covid 19?

Covid has caused ongoing delays to our productions since early 2020. Sadly this can be unpredictable, things are fine and then we are suddenly 2 weeks late. If you have a pre-order, we will always email if there are delays, please check your junk if you've not heard also!  

There is also a major ongoing global issue with logistics. With significantly reduced international and domestic flights happening, it is taking much longer for anything to get anywhere so please bear with us, check your tracking, and reach out if something doesn't look right.

What happens if it doesn't fit?

For bras, we recommend you reach out before buying for the first time if in any doubt. With no spandex and a longer band, our bras can feel firmer on the body and you may want to size up a band if you're on the cusp. Our fit for sleepwear is fairly standard and described in the size guide. All returns and exchanges have to be sent back at the buyer's expense. Unfortunately we cannot take international exchanges at this point but we do take returns.

Can you exchange bottoms?

Please please please try bottoms over your undies! If they don't fit, we can exchange or refund.

What are these garments made of?

All materials for each style are featured on the product pages, but a breakdown is as follows:

Our black bra is made of Australian knitted and dyed Lenzing fibre Tencel, with tree rubber and organic cotton elastic and custom made organic cotton hooks and eyes. Our sewing thread is Tencel and our labels organic cotton dyed with soy based inks, sourced from Europe as we can't find a maker here in Australia.

Our organic cotton bras in a range of colours are made from organic cotton knitted and GOTs dyed here in Australia.

Our sleep wear is made of 100% organic cotton, knitted and organically dyed in Melbourne. Elastic is Cradle to Cradle, made in Germany and compostable. 

Will they break down when they wash?

The great thing about quality cotton and tencel is that they wash and wear beautifully. Although derived from plants, these are premium fabrics from premium suppliers that are built to last. We always recommend a short wash at a low temperature both for maintenance, and because its kinder to the environment. We hope that you will wear the sleep T shirts day and night, to get extra wear out of one wash!

Who pays additional country-specific taxes?

The buyer is responsible for any additional taxes which are due in their country of origin when the parcel is delivered. We sell tax-free to international customers. For most countries except the UK, this isn't an issue as the threshold is high, but please check your local import/sales taxes.

As of late 2021 we are unable to sell and ship to the EU due to the costs of compliance there - sorry! We hope that will change, but right now, we'd have to employ a seperate accountant to do quarterly EU tax returns.

How much is shipping?

We ship anywhere in Australia for a flat rate of $10, and internationally for $20. We offer worldwide freepost on orders over $200.

There is more about our shipping and returns policy at the bottom of the site.

Shipping, Exchanges and Returns

**Covid-19 impact - The virus continues to have significant impact on both domestic interstate and international parcels.

July 2021 - Update on EU

Sadly, new VAT laws in the EU introduced this month mean it is no longer commercially viable to sell there :-( This makes us very sad, and we continue to monitor any developments that might make doing business with the EU still possible as a smaller company.
