Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a garment for being used as a nursing bra and a suitable breast pad that is adapted to be fitted into pad pockets of the nursing bra. The nursing bra is basically made of a seamless knitted fabric and with an attachment of additional second fabric layer to the seamless knitted fabric pad pockets are being formed between the seamless knitted fabric and the second fabric. These pad pockets are accessible from respective openings that are formed in the second fabric at a position suitable for receiving a nipple of a wearer such. Furthermore, the openings are designed so as to allow relatively easy insertion and removal of the breast pad into and from the pad pockets. Thus, when the breast pads are accommodated within the pad pockets, a nipple wearer engages the breast pads such that any leakage of breastmilk is absorbed by the breast pad and the rest of the bra maintains dry. The pads are secured in their position when being received in the pockets to avoid misalignment of the nipple with the pad such that even during activity or sleep, the pads maintain in contact with the nipple and absorb the liquid or moisture deriving therefrom.
