Q. My husband and I are expecting our first child and I'm not sure what to look for in a bra for during and after my pregnancy. Where can I find more information?

A. The Playtex® bra brand is known for fitting all shapes and sizes, including women who are expecting. For fit tips, visit the Maternity and Nursing Bras area of our Fitting Room. To purchase a maternity and nursing bra, go to the Expectant Moments® bra collection area of our Web site.


Q. Why do bras that are the same size sometimes look like they're actually different sizes?

A. A band measurement is dependent on the physical properties of the material used. A garment containing materials with more stretch may be shorter than a garment with more rigid materials. All styles are not designed to measure the same, but they are designed to fit the same body type with specific measurements.
