The present application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202522027861.5, filed on Sep. 19, 2025, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The present application relates to the technical field of maternal and baby products, particularly to a brassiere.
Nursing mothers often face the need to breastfeed or use breast pumps in daily life. Traditional nursing bras typically facilitate breastfeeding through openings or dropdown structures in the cups, but their functionality is limited. When using a breast pump, particularly in situations requiring hands-free operation, conventional bras fail to provide adequate support, forcing users to hold the pump continuously. This not only significantly restricts mobility but also leads to fatigue.
To address the challenge of securing breast pumps, specialized “pumping bras” have emerged in the market. These products generally adopt complex multi-layer designs: beyond the standard bra layer, an additional specialized structural layer with fixation openings and tight straps is required to support and secure the pump. However, this multi-layer construction introduces notable drawbacks: increased thickness, excessive material, and poor breathability. Users often find these bras stuffy and uncomfortable for daily wear, making them impractical as everyday undergarments. Furthermore, their design is functionally singular, and direct breastfeeding remains cumbersome.
Thus, there exists a pressing need in the field for a multifunctional bra with a simplified structure and enhanced breathability. It should ideally serve as a comfortable daily replacement for conventional nursing bras while enabling quick, discreet switching to a breast pump support mode when needed, thereby fundamentally resolving the conflict between multifunctionality and wearing comfort.
In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, embodiments of the present application disclose a brassiere that addresses the problems of poor breathability and complex structure in existing bras with nursing or breast pump functions.

The brassiere further comprises a breast covering layer including first and second breast covering portions. When the covering portions are connected to the shoulder straps, they cover the breasts and the support straps. When detached, they expose the breasts and the openings on the support straps, facilitating direct breastfeeding or insertion of the breast pump into the openings for pumping. This enables convenient and discreet multifunctional use. Furthermore, by utilizing only a single covering layer and forming the openings for securing the breast pump directly on the support straps, the brassiere significantly enhances breathability and comfort in scenarios where the breast pump is not in use, while still ensuring adequate support. When pumping is required, the support straps provide stable support for the breast pump.
