This week The Perfect Pair turn their attention to maternity bras (lingerie). Between them they’ve breastfed six babies so they know a thing or two about the bra game.

The Perfect Pair write: Ladies, whether you intend to breastfeed or not, you need to prepare your pregnant body for changes to your boobies. Even before the moment you do the all important wee-on-the-stick, your body has made changes to your hormones and your boobs will never be the same again, so it’s vital that you look after them.

Old school thinkers suggest that an underwire is a big fat no no. However recent research suggests there is no evidence to support not wearing an underwire. We are sat on the fence… ahem wire… about this. Personal choice for both of us was to go wireless through pregnancy and post partum.

Ultimately your boobs will grow and change shape so having a regular bra fit/size check can only be a good thing. Supportive, well fitting bras are a necessity to avoid the dreaded monoboob or that fiasco known as the ‘4 boob’.

There are a couple of brands available in New Zealand and they are:

• Amoralia Maternity underwear
• Hotmilk.
