Forget spring cleaning the house. When was the last time you gave your lingerie drawer a spring clean? Pulling out your saggy, hole-ridden, ill fitting, faded bras and knickers and putting them where they belong, in the textile recycling bag. I’ve pulled together a stylish mum lingerie edit of pretty spring bra sets to help you put the slay in your mama step and feel gorgeous from the inside out.
You see, it’s easy to think that motherhood means the days of pretty lingerie with floral prints, lace and itty bitty trimmings are long gone.
Whether it’s breast feeding, the gravitational pull of bigger boobs, and less time/ motivation for sexy time, so many mums relegate pretty lingerie to big, practical and…yawn…plain.
I so disagree with this mindset. Not only can you buy practical AND pretty lingerie, but come on…give yourself a break mama.
You owe it to yourself to enjoy some self indulgence, after all you are more then a mum.
Besides, how exactly will wearing a floral bra affect your mothering duties?
Over 6 months post-breastfeeding, I’ve been enjoying some delicious new pieces by Mimi Holliday (this post from the Style After Nine Vault will hope those mums who need to feel confident in lingerie), Figleaves and more recently Lindex. The latter launched a girl power centered campaign celebrating body-confidence for all ages and sizes and I blooming love it!
There really is no excuse, a few new pairs of knickers on a 3 for 2 deal will go a long way.
So, get ready to tackle your knicker drawer. As you go through each item, ask yourself “Does this make me feel beautiful? Does this serve a purpose (suck, lift, hold)? Is it nose turning and time to say #ByeFelicia and shop my edit?”
PSSST…
- You don’t need to have itty bitties to rock the bralet look. Some lingerie is meant to be shown off, so go up a size and wear your pretty design over your regular bra.
- Avoid black, grey and white… most mums have a daily battle with the laundry, make it easier for yourself with pretty lingerie that’s easy to spot and pull out of the pile.

I’m in love with the Figleaves set! I agree that our drawers (see what I did haha!) get a tad neglected post-baby #DreamTeam
Haha very good! Yes the Figleaves set is lush xx
Funnily enough, I was just thinking yesterday how much I need to do this! So many pretties here, I love the last two, the pink from M&S and the black triangle one from Primark! Thanks so much for sharing this with #DreamTeam!
Thank you, it’s such a great thing to do and a shock at the raggedy things you need to chuck! X
I am ALL over that M&S set and love that new Primark one, too. Launches in my birthday month.
One of the things I consoled myself with when I stopped breastfeeding was that I could dig out all my lovely underwear again. In fact, I’ve got a post in draft about it!
Could do with a little treat, so bra shopping it is!
