Development and Evaluation of a Nursing Sports Bra Prototype

Authors: , ,

Abstract

Postpartum exercise is highly encouraged to nursing moms for fast postnatal recovery. However, end-users have identified a market void for a nursing sports bra which meets their needs. Due to scheduling conflicts, both biological and occupational, nursing moms desire a nursing sports bra that allows breastfeeding before, during, or immediately following exercising (Cassil, 2009).The purpose of this study was to practice a methodical design process to guide the development and evaluation of a nursing sports bra.
