The different types of bras
Plunge, full coverage, balconette: which shape is best suited for my pregnancy and breastfeeding?
During pregnancy and breastfeeding, there’s no need to put your style on hold. The desire to dress well remains the same: wearing a flattering neckline, a favorite dress, or a well-cut top… without being limited by your lingerie.
A bra then becomes a discreet ally, designed to follow and enhance your outfits. The idea: being able to dress freely, without overthinking, and without compromising on comfort.
At Cache Cœur, each model is designed with this in mind, with one key feature: all bras include a discreet and easy-to-use nursing access. You can choose the shape that suits you best—plunge, full coverage, or balconette—depending on your style and outfits.
Key takeaways
• Each bra shape serves a different purpose: support, neckline, or shaping

• The plunge style makes it easy to wear low-cut outfits
• The balconette offers a more structured look
• During pregnancy and breastfeeding, comfort remains essential without sacrificing style

The plunge bra: a defined and enhanced neckline
With its V-shape, the plunge bra enhances the bust while remaining discreet under clothing.
Why choose it?
• It enhances the neckline without compressing the bust
• It remains invisible under low-cut necklines
• It gently follows natural curves
Thanks to its integrated opening system, it allows easy breastfeeding, even with more dressed-up outfits.
Outfit ideas
The plunge style works perfectly with:
• a dress like Capucine or a top like Bella
• a V-neckline like Claudette
• a slightly open, flowy nightdress like Caroline
It’s the ideal shape for those who want to wear low-cut styles.
The full coverage bra: support and everyday comfort
The full coverage bra fully encloses the bust. Its covering shape provides reassuring support, especially appreciated for fuller busts.
Its benefits
• Optimal support, ideal for fuller cups
• A soft feel throughout the day
• Comfort suited for sensitive breasts
Like all Cache Cœur models, our full coverage bras feature practical nursing access, easy to use with one hand.
With which outfits?
It fits easily under:
• a t-shirt or a fitted sweater like Tunisien
• an everyday dress like Hamptons
• body-hugging clothing like the Liberty top
Invisible and reliable, it’s an everyday essential.
The balconette bra: natural shaping and structure
The balconette bra slightly reveals the upper part of the bust while ensuring good support.
Why choose it?
• It naturally shapes the bust
• It structures the silhouette without rigidity
• It adds a more refined touch
Its discreet opening allows for easy breastfeeding without compromising aesthetics.
Outfit ideas
The balconette style pairs well with:
• a top or dress with a square neckline like the Alice or Mélissa dress
• a low-cut dress
• a more elegant outfit
A great choice for those who want to vary their style while staying comfortable.
Lingerie designed to support every stage
During maternity, needs evolve. Some days call for more support, others for more lightness, or simply the desire to wear a specific outfit.
The advantage of the different shapes is being able to adapt your lingerie to every moment:
• full coverage for comfort and support
• plunge for low necklines
• balconette for a more defined silhouette
With one essential common point: each model remains suitable for breastfeeding, supporting everyday life without needing to change lingerie.
