10 of the best sexy maternity lingerie sets
Pregnancy doesn't have to mean big knickers and heavy duty support bras - we've found gorgeous maternity bras, briefs, babydolls and more
Finding sexy maternity lingerie isn’t always easy, especially as your shape changes. The good news is there are some seriously hot underwear options that will help you still feel sexy whatever size or shape your bump.
There are stretchy, unlined bralettes which offer comfort while still being lacy and feminine. Flexi-wired bras may offer a little more support and shape for those who prefer something more structured. Many maternity bras are also designed to see you past pregnancy and into nursing, with fold-down cups and discreet, easy to use fastenings.
In our round up of some of the best maternity lingerie, we have included all of the above as well as flowing nighties, bra and brief coordinate sets and more.
We have also ensured there are a range of cup and back sizes in our selection, with some designs offer additional back fastening positions so that bras can be easily adjusted as your shape changes throughout pregnancy and after birth.
Plus, if you are looking for more fashion and styling ideas, we’ve also rounded up some of the best maternity winter coats, best maternity jeans and best changing bags.
Here’s our pick of 10 of the best sexy maternity bras, lingerie sets and slips
1. Hotmilk Temptation Flexiwire Full Cup Nursing Bra, £45.99
Sizes: 30C to 38J
Hot Milk’s Temptation bra has full cups and flexi wiring to offer a little more support where you might need it.
If you have a bigger bust, this design is available in up to cup size J and the straps can clip together into a racer back style, depending on what you find most comfortable.
One previous customer said, “As a bustier, yet small framed lady, I am in love with the temptation!...It lets you feel shaped and sexy whilst holding everything in place.”
Available from: Figleaves
2. Momanda Lightly Lined Wire Free Maternity Nursing Bra, £18
Sizes: 32A to 40E
This lacy bralette is also wire-free but has a little padding if you prefer not to go completely without. One reviewer of this bra described it as, “Lovely soft fabric, yet giving a bit of support, very easy to breastfeed while wearing it and looks feminine.”
The long-line style and triangle cups are an alternative option to the traditional shape while the lace makes it both a pretty and sexy maternity bra. The front also unclips for nursing, making this a practical option too.
Available from: Amazon
3. Seraphine Navy Lace Maternity & Nursing Bra, £29 and briefs, £10
Sizes: 32B to 38F (bra), Small to X-large (briefs)
This navy bra and brief set is both sophisticated and supportive without using under-wiring, which should help improve comfort while wearing it. There are 6 back settings and adjustable straps so it should also be straight-forward to get the best fit for you.
The cups are lined with smooth, breathable cotton and drop down for nursing. The lace overlay on both the bra and co-ordinating briefs adds a delicate and feminine touch to the ensemble.
The lace on the briefs extends over the edging of the pair to minimise a visible panty line beneath clothing and they are designed to fit comfortably beneath a growing bump.
Bra available from: Seraphine
Briefs available from: Seraphine
4. Lovehoney Unwrap Me Red Lace Babydoll, £19.99
Sizes: one size sits 8 to 18
For super sexy maternity lingerie, this lace babydoll is fiery red and tied up with ribbons. The lace front is in two pieces, so it can drape over your middle, or part to allow space for your bump.
The floaty design means it should fit most, as it’s a one-size item (the brand recommend it for sizes 8 to 18).
There are more than 150 positive reviews of the outfit with one woman commenting, “It looks incredible on and was extremely easy to adjust…I felt nicely supported and it pulled me in at the waist giving a lovely look that filled me with confidence.”
Available from: Love Honey
5. Projectme Nursing Warrior Lace Strapping Flexi Wire Balconette Bra, £35
Sizes: 32D to 38G
This sexy strap and lace design is underwired with moulded cups and triple fastening hooks for added support during later pregnancy and into nursing.
It’s pretty but also practical, with a side-sling for skin to skin-contact and drop-down magnetic clips. The bra is designed for pregnancy through to post-birth so you should get plenty of wear out of it, too.
Available from: ASOS
6. Etaoline Long Kimono Robe Silk Dressing Gown, £14.99
Sizes: 8 to 16
For a demure cover-up, something like this silky robe could look lovely draped over a lovely lingerie set. This design is longer than most so there should be a little more material to go around your bump and it comes in a choice of black or red.
Reviews have rated the product highly, with one buyer commenting, “I have to say it's lovely with a nice and soft silk feel. It is well-made and the sizing is generous…and also nice and long.”
Available from: Amazon
7. Blush Lace Maternity & Nursing Bralette, £19 and briefs £8
Sizes: Small to Xlarge (bralette), Small to Xlarge (briefs)
This bralette set is available in both a sleek black and blushed pink shade. The soft, stretchy lace should provide a flexible fit with elasticated support as well as drop down cups for nursing once the little one is born.
The cups secure with easy-open clips which should help you fasten and unfasten smoothly and easily.
The coordinating briefs are also available in both colourways and are made from the same extra soft lace with stretch for a flexible fit.
Bra available from: Seraphine
Briefs available from: Seraphine
8. Pour Moi Women's Amour Nursing Bra, from £5.27
Sizes: 32DD to 40J
This nursing bra by Pour Moi is ideal for larger busts (starting at size DD fitting up to 40J) and is available in a choice of ivory and champagne or black and pink lace.
Previous buyers mentioned that the bra was a bigger fit on the cup, so it may be worth opting for a smaller size, especially if you are usually between sizes.
Reviewers described it as “very comfy but looks good too,” as well as, “so feminine and pretty you wouldn't know it was a specialised item, unlike many nursing bras.”
Available from: Amazon and Next
9. HotMilk Projectme Heroine Underwired Nursing Bra, £29.99
Sizes: 32D to 34E
You would never guess this vibrant lingerie by Hot Milk was in fact a nursing bra, as none of the style has been compromised for function. There are dual straps with rose gold detailing as well as a plunge neckline and “monsoon” coloured lace.
The clips on the straps are magnetic, allowing for easy feeding as the cups fold down. Flexi-wire beneath the bust also helps to keep you supported throughout pregnancy and into nursing.
Available from: Figleaves
10. Vertbaudet Nursing Special Bra in Microfibre, £27.50 and briefs £15.50 (pack of 3)
