As anyone who’s ever tried to wriggle out of a one-piece bathing suit in a public bathroom already knows, bathing suits aren’t typically designed with comfort or discretion in mind. This reality only gets more pronounced when you’re trying to breastfeed at the beach or pool, but the best nursing swimsuits take the stress out of feeding your baby waterside.
With these comfy nursing suits, you won’t need to sit in a gross bathroom or try to cover yourself with a towel. They’re designed for nursing comfortably, and they won’t require you to fully take off your top (because there’s nothing worse than peeling off a wet bathing suit). From hidden panels to deep V-necks, overlays, and clip-down straps, these suits are designed with new moms in mind. You’ll find bikini tops you can pair with shorts or a bottom you already have, and plenty of one-pieces in both solids and prints. Many of them also have space for breast pads or are double-layered, so leaks are no biggie.
So if you’re planning to soak up all of summer outside this year, know that breastfeeding can be relaxing and enjoyable, even in a bathing suit.
