Best Maternity Lingerie of 2023

Don’t be fooled; this pull-over-the-head bra gives way more support than it would appear. Within the lacey exterior, there’s a more robust bra structure that holds the ladies up, even if you are large in the boob department.

Aside from being a really sexy maternity bra, these bras include clips for easy nursing access, so you can enjoy them past pregnancy as well.

The other big plus for Cosabella bras is that, unlike most maternity or nursing bras, they come in a wide range of beautiful colors, making them ideal for maternity photoshoots and making you feel glamorous day to day.

These lacy maternity boy shorts match the bralette by Cosabella, but without the same range of colors. There are still plenty of jewel and pastel shades from which to choose, so you can enjoy a drawer full of pretty colors throughout your pregnancy.

These boy shorts have slightly more coverage in the bum area than Cosabell’s standard design. This helps with any additional padding you may take on during pregnancy.

We like that these briefs are lacy and sexy and look or feel like so many other “granny panty” maternity styles. And you can feel comfortable ordering your usual underwear size and not have to worry about your boy shorts turning into an accidental thong.

We’re a big fan of these bras from Cake Maternity because they are incredibly flexible, with two possible back configurations, while still remaining sexy in all arrangements.

They come in sizes from small to extra-large but also include cup sizes. This allows for growth while remaining supportive and comfortable. There are six sets of hook-and-eye closures to accommodate your expanding ribcage during pregnancy.

The stretchy material has Oeko-Tex certification, meaning the fabric has gone through independent testing and has been shown to contain no harmful dyes or chemicals ⁽¹⁾.

If you are a fan of thongs, there’s no need to relinquish your favorite underwear just because you’re pregnant. These thongs from Hanky Panky are not just sexy but comfortable and easy to care for.

Hanky Panky is a popular thong company that makes original, low-rise, and high-rise thongs. But this original rise sits at a comfortable under-the-belly bump point, without any annoying rolling or shifting.

Made in the USA, Hanky Panky thongs are widely available and can be purchased in multiple colors. The fabric remains soft and stretchy even after numerous cycles through both the washer and dryer.

Available in sizes from small to XXL, this babydoll comes with adjustable shoulder straps and an overlay of lace. A set of matching G-string underwear is included.

The babydoll is affixed at the mid-bust line and then flows outward, leaving the front open, accommodating your growing belly. As a result, although this babydoll lingerie wasn’t designed specifically for maternity wear, it is suitable for any stage of pregnancy and after the baby is born.

The black and floral maternity set consists of a soft sleep bra, loose-fitting maternity nightdress, and a matching robe, rounded off by a matching storage bag.

Only available online, what we particularly like about this set is its subtle sexy and alluring feel, but it’s still suitable for wearing after baby is born in the hospital and when close friends and family come to visit.

The chemise cut of the nightdress is comfortable and flattering, keeping you cool — an important consideration when you’re growing a baby.

Available in six color combinations, the Lucille maternity gown is both cute and sexy for those who want a dash of sauce, but not the entire bottle. The racerback design has a lace panel that matches the bodice and cups, giving it more of a sexy oomph than a standard fabric block.

If you’re planning to breastfeed, there’s an easy one-handed clip that allows you to free one of the girls, or both, without the need to grapple with difficult closures. Of course, even if you aren’t breastfeeding, there may be other reasons for these easy-access cups.

For those who like an understated, sophisticated brand of sexy, we have the Provocateur bra. The deep plunge of the neckline is ideal for low-cut tops, while the sheer mesh upper detail provides a seductive glimpse without revealing all.

We especially love the rose gold metalwork and the decorative hoops on the straps. It seems a shame to hide it under your clothes. The matching slide adjusters and clasps allow for easy-access nursing and give the bra a high-end, put-together feel.

This sweet and sexy chiffon dressing gown by Tife Isfe is great for use as sexy nightwear and doubles as the perfect ensemble for a maternity photoshoot. It comes in six feminine colors, so there’s certain to be one that suits your style.

With its supportive lace chest, off-shoulder sleeves, and belly-baring, sheer floor-length skirt, this maxi nightdress will have you feeling like the princess of pregnancy.

The high romance factor of this breezy ensemble makes it great for “special night” wear, while the lightweight fabric is also perfect for wearing around the house on those hot summer nights.

Made in Italy, the Mommie Babydoll from Cosabella is available in small, medium, and large and is fitted with a well-made, firmer-hold bra that is as supportive as it is comfy. This construction means that no matter how your breasts change during pregnancy, this babydoll will feel good.

Unlike other babydolls, this model isn’t made with voluminous amounts of flowy fabric in the body. Instead, the cut is generous while remaining flattering, and the material itself stretches to provide room for your temporary passenger.

Yes, you could just grab yourself a big, regular bathrobe and use it while you’re pregnant, but I can tell you from experience that it will never sit “right,” and you’ll forever be pulling it about and adjusting the thing.

But this is where this beautiful maternity and nursing robe comes in. Cut specifically for the pregnant body, the shoulders and arms are the correct size and stay where they should while the additional fabric is enough to cover your bump until you want to reveal the glorious you underneath.

Available in either a deep, dark blue or subtle ivory color, the Louise maternity bra from Cache Coeur is made in France with embroidery by Potencier, which provides embroidery services to major French Haute Couture houses. This means you can still enjoy the luxury feel of a well-made bra while pregnant and breastfeeding.

Depending on your cup size, the build is slightly different, with a magnetic drop-down clip for easy breastfeeding for C, D, and E cup sizes and a more traditional clip for F, G, and H cup sizes. There are four clip positions for both styles, allowing you to alter the fit as your breasts change size and shape.

Like the Louise bra, the briefs are French-made with high-end Haute Couture embroidery. Delicate scalloped lace edges, sheer mesh sides, and a tiny angled bow provide the detailing you expect from top-of-the-line lingerie.

The low-cut waist offers plenty of space for your growing belly, no matter how large your front expansion while remaining well-fitting in the rear.

Lift and shape cups with a cotton-lined side sling give the Truffles maternity bra from Cake Maternity a sexy vixen appeal. However, they don’t make you feel strung up and twisted in all kinds of uncomfortable positions.

There are five sets of hook and eye closure to allow for your expanding ribcage, while the stretchy fabric has enough give to allow for an element of cup growth.

Functional yet funky, the Truffle will give you that added hit of va-va-voom, just when you need it.

The Perfection maternity brief from Bliss is ideal for those who want to feel sexy while pregnant but are not confident they can pull it off. The generous rear coverage ensures you don’t feel too exposed. The all-around band of stretchy, lacy fabric elevates these knickers into blossoming sex-bomb territory.

These bikini briefs allow for some light exposure without making you worry about whether or not your bottom is devouring the fabric at the back. This also makes them perfect for day-to-day wear, giving you a sexy boost throughout your pregnancy.

It’s next to impossible to find a cover-up bra that will hold your growing boobs high and close to your body while still keeping them firmly in place. But this bra does the job and lets you feel like the sexy beast you know you are.

The Tea bra from Cake Maternity has a strong A-frame underpinning with a broader back, strong straps, a four-piece construction for extra support, and a full coverage cup. And unlike so many maternity bras, its cup sizes range from E to HH.

What could have been considered a basic bra is elevated to sexy because of the soft, silky fabric and lace overlay detailing with well-placed embellishments.

The briefs from Intimate Portal are so gorgeous, you’ll wish you didn’t have to cover them up. This pack consists of six lab-tested textiles that are 95 percent made of cotton and the rest is made from spandex to give some stretch. It comes in both plain and printed colorful designs.

For those who are sensitive to lace, seams, or labels, or just hate being uncomfortable during pregnancy, the Illusion bra by Cache Coeur is an entirely seamless maternity bra with subtly seductive accent lace design elements that won’t irritate your skin.

The bra has a two-layer structure. Every part in direct contact with your skin is entirely smooth, and the outer layer has a lace-inspired design woven into it, so there’s no actual lace involved.

You get all the support, coverage, and comfort you could want, with a subtle dose of secret sexy. You won’t mind wearing this bra even during the most uncomfortable stages of pregnancy.

Not everyone likes the under-the-belly style of pregnancy brief. If you prefer the full coverage of an over-the-belly cut, you don’t have to sacrifice sexy for comfort.

The ultra-stretch fabric of these briefs is incredible. Before your belly swells, they feel roomy but not annoyingly loose. Then, as your baby grows, the briefs seem to grow at the same rate, managing to stay comfortable as they appear to quadruple in size.

The lace styling is woven into the fabric, leaving only cloud-like comfort on your sensitive skin.

When you want to eliminate any ambiguity about your sexy momma status, this hot pink maternity baby doll from Mommylicious is a great choice.

There’s nothing subtle about this plus-size helping of eye candy. From the hot pink and black color combination to the sheer fabric that shows off every last inch of your gorgeous self, it’s sexy from start to finish.

And it even comes with a matching g-string to ensure you stay coordinated in your sexy perfection.
