Top 5 Best Nursing Camis-That Are Actually Pretty


We were determined to find the best nursing camisole online.

You have choices when it comes to buying nursing camisoles or tanks.  Too many, to be honest.  So, how do you know what to look for? What style should you choose? What brand is the best? And how do you know which one is right for you?

There are so many different factors in what is needed for a specially-designed nursing camisole (also called cami for short). So we carefully researched these important factors to help you find the perfect maternity and nursing cami for mothers, like you.

So, what else is an important factor that your cami must have?

Do you prefer quality over cost?

Are you on a budget?

Do you prefer a style that is versatile that you can wear throughout pregnancy into nursing?

Do you want them to be plain or lacy?

These are just some of factors we took into consideration as we sought out the right nursing cami for you.

We found the top five nursing camisole companies (based on a Google search, reviews, and press features), and purchased one nursing cami from each.

Here are the top five nursing camisole companies we ordered from, in no particular order:

Nom Maternity

Storq

A Pea In The Pod®

Ingrid & Isabel

Oh La Lari®

(Disclosure: we’re affiliated with Oh La Lari®. We recommend each cami on this list. Each cami was bought and based on actual testing and customer opinions, not just our own). 

Are Nursing Camis Necessary?

Nursing camis will make breastfeeding way easier. They are also very comfortable and can be pretty as well. When you feel like a 24/7 milk machine, it’s hard to feel like your old self again. Having functional and comfortable nursing clothing helps to ease the transition into motherhood.

The main difference between a regular camisole and a nursing one, is the drop-down function for quick breast access while breastfeeding. You will find that most of the nursing camis feature an on/off clip mechanism on the shoulder strap. It’s quick and easy to use!

We asked our customers what they would need in a perfect nursing cami.

The following features were most important to customers in our research, and here's what they said:

  1. Quality-made
  2. Comfortable
  3. Functional
  4. Versatile
  5. Stylish

We tried on and tested each cami, keeping those top five features in mind. Each cami had its own unique benefits. Keep reading to see our break down of each cami.
