Best bra for nurses

Updated:   Published

I am wondering if anyone knows the best bra to wear while working.

I wear regular bras from Victoria's Secret but they are slightly uncomfortable while moving around and walking around. The straps sometimes come off from my shoulders.

Should I wear sports bras? I like supportive and comfortable full-cover bras.

Please let me know if you know anything! Thank you.

The best bra ever is the Knix bra. Seriously!

So much more comfy than a sports bra for work, and no underwire jabbing you!

FYI - if the straps are falling down you probably have the wrong size. Go to a REAL bra store (not victoria's) and have a real fitting. Then buy what you can afford and is comfortable to you.

Thank you for your advice! Yes, I should go to a real shop, not Victoria's. I usually buy bras from Victoria's and even though the shop girl measured me, the straps are falling down...

I will look for real shops in my area. Thank you again!

I never heard about the brand, Knix. I just checked the Knix website, and their products look amazing!! They are the kind of bra I was looking for. I will buy some and try.

Thank you again amandab13, LPN!!

If your bras aren't fitting right, you're wearing the wrong size. Check out a subreddit called "A bra that fits" to find out how to accurately measure your size. I was surprised with my results but now my bras are comfortable and no longer slip. And stay away from Victoria's Secret; those are expensive garbage bras!

LOL stay away from Victoria's.

Yes, I always bought bras from Victoria's just because they are cute, but I started noticing that they are useless when I work and have to move around!!

Thank you for the info! I will check out the site, A bra that fits measurement.

I was wondering the same thing; which is how I found this thread...if you have nothing to contribute please delete your snarky posts.

I have been through a few. I think sports bras work best. I find, despite the expense, good jogging ones are the best for staying in place, not binding or poking or slipping off my shoulders.

I am ordering some from true & co. bc a coworker recommended them. We went to white scrubs so i have to replace all my understuff with muted colors.

My Jockey bras have held up (lasted longest before needing replacement, lolz) best, btw.

Let us know if you find a good one!

Not sure why I'm here. But as others have mentioned, get measured. Many women usually go a long time without having a proper sizing. (I worked in retail once)
