Our team has worn and researched organic clothing for a decade, so we asked the moms on our team for their favorite organic, eco-friendly, and supportive nursing bras. These are their picks.
When it’s time to feed your little one, getting undressed should be the least of your concerns, especially when you’re breastfeeding multiple times a day. That’s why we love nursing bras—for comfort and ease, and for making feeding, well, more accessible! While conventional nursing and breastfeeding bras are often made with harmful chemicals or dangerous toxins—a potential risk as your body recovers and your baby develops—we’ve searched the web to find the very best maternity brands creating safe and organic options. These nursing bras are safe, secure, and supportive for you and your baby. Whether you’re team crossover or team clip (or team #freethenipple all day), there’s a nursing bra style here that will work for you.
What to look for in a nursing bra:
When picking out a nursing bra, comfort and support are key. Look for one made of soft, breathable fabric—your skin will appreciate it! You’ll probably want to avoid an underwire since it can get uncomfortable and might even lead to clogged ducts. Additionally, organic and nontoxic materials are preferable and will help with any irritation or allergies.
Adjustable features are a big plus, too, like a hook-and-eye closure with multiple settings so that the bra can adapt as your body changes. Easy-access cups are essential—something you can open with one hand for those feeding moments when you’ve only got one free. Wide straps and a supportive band make a huge difference since breasts can feel heavier during breastfeeding (and also pregnancy).
Our criteria:
Our team has 10+ years of experience wearing and researching sustainable clothing brands — so with multiple moms on our team, we know a thing or two about organic nursing bras! For this guide, we’ve compiled brands that are organic, eco-friendly, and ethical without losing sight of support and function. Don’t worry; they’re all comfy, affordable, and durable too.
DURABLE | The bras featured on this list are durable and will withstand many washes—one less thing to worry about.
ORGANIC | The brands on this list all use certified organic fabrics so you can keep yourself and your budding family healthy and protected from harsh chemicals.
ECO-FRIENDLY | These maternity and nursing bra makers are all conscious of their impact on the environment — from thoughtfully sourcing materials to low-waste manufacturing. And they have the third-party credentials to back it up, so you know you’re doing your part to protect the environment for your little one.
AFFORDABLE | Motherhood is expensive — so we’ve included affordable options on this list. Many of the items can also be worn before, after, and during pregnancy so the cost per wear is low.

Best Overall | Most Size-Inclusive | Cutest
1. Pact
Organic Materials | GOTS certified organic cotton
Sizes Available | S–XL

Pact’s nursing bras will effortlessly take you from pregnancy to the fourth trimester. Made with certified organic cotton in Fair Trade Certified factories, these naturally breathable bras are perfect for light movement, stretch, and recovery. They are also made with safe fabrics, so you don’t have to worry about toxic materials.

2. Girlfriend Collective
Sustainable Materials | OEKO-TEX certified recycled nylon
Sizes Available | XXS–6X
Price Range | $48–$52
Made of OEKO-TEX certified recycled nylon (and free of dangerous toxins!), Girlfriend Collective’s line of nursing bras are soft, stylish, and sustainable. However you prefer to breastfeed, the sustainable brand carries two separate nursing bra styles to meet you where you are; one’s designed as a crossover, while the other has clips that are easy to hide or unhook. Best yet, the brand offers inclusive sizing, neutral colors for every outfit, and shipping to the US, Canada, the UK, and Australia.
3. Boob Design
Organic Materials | OEKO-TEX certified Tencel, recycled polyester, or organic wool
Sizes Available | S–XXL
Price Range | $39–$79
Boob Design will be your new bosom buddy—or should we say bestie? This sustainable brand is all about supporting both parent and baby, literally. There are a number of core nursing styles here: The Go-To Bra, The Fast Food Bra, and The Flow Bra, and each option comes in a number of gorgeously rich colors and with matching bottoms. For those breastfeeding every few hours, you’ll love the softness of the organic wool, Tencel, or recycled fabrics. Climate-free shipping is available worldwide.
4. Cache Couer
Organic Materials | OEKO-TEX certified Tencel, GOTS certified organic cotton, recycled plastics
Sizes Available | S–XXL
Price Range | $45–$110
Cache Couer is a French maternity and nursing lingerie brand, and every piece is equally chic and conscious. From the maternity bra made with white lace to the red-hot triangle nursing bra, each is made to celebrate your body how it is, right now. If you’re experiencing quite a bit of leakage (which is normal!), Cache Couer also carries washable nursing pads and postpartum bodyguards, too. Whatever your needs, this team has thought of it all.
5. Boody
Materials | OEKO-TEX certified organic bamboo
Sizes Available | XS–XL
Price Range | $20–$50
Love breathable, sustainable bamboo fabrics? Boody does too, and their line of bamboo viscose bras and bralettes are the kind you can wear all day. While not *technically* a nursing bra, moms report that easy pull access doesn’t stretch or destroy the versatile fabric. These designs are the kind that some of our larger-breasted readers might know as “sleeping bras,” aka the perfect support without digging, pulling, or causing any discomfort. And when you’re up and down all through the night with newborn feedings, that is exactly what you need!
6. Juem
Organic Materials | GOTS certified organic cotton
Sizes Available | S–XL
Price Range | $50–$63
From the land Down Under (no, not that one…we’re talking about bras after all!) comes the sustainable brand Juem. Sewn from organic cotton, we adore how simple yet sexy these triangle bra-inspired nursing pieces look. And we’re swooning over the imagery, to boot. Juem also donates one percent of revenue to environmental initiatives. The team is based in Byron Bay, but ships worldwide.
7. Cosabella
Organic Materials | Modal, cotton
Sizes Available | XS-3X
Price Range | $65-$98
The name Cosabella translates to “beautiful thing” in Italian, and that’s exactly how we feel about the lingerie brand’s nursing bras. Designed and dyed in Italy (using natural colors!), these luxury bras are sensual and ethereal—and ideal for newborn family photos, nighttime feedings, and those more…intimate moments, too. If sleep is more on your mind (we don’t blame you!), we love Cosabella’s three-piece nursing set with the robe as well. Beautiful thing, indeed. Cosabella ships to the US and Canada.
