Do I need a special bra to use Elvie Stride?
No, Elvie Stride is designed to be worn with your standard nursing bras.
The most important thing is how firmly the Cups are pressed against your breasts when you’re using them. We call this ‘compression’.
Getting the right compression can increase your milk volumes.
To get the best results, your Cups need to be firmly pressed against your breasts with no gaps in between. Using your bra’s adjustment straps can help with this.
If you have good compression, you should feel some pressure, but never any pain or discomfort.
Every bra has a different level of support, so make sure to check the compression before each session.
