Abstract

A nursing bra includes a cover body and a partition layer. The cover body has an elastic outer layer and an elastic inner layer, an upper side of the outer layer is connected with an upper side of the inner layer, a lower side of the outer layer is connected with a lower side of the inner layer, an outer side of the inner layer is disposed at an inner side of the outer layer. The partition layer is disposed at an outer side of the outer layer and detachably connected with the cover body. When the partition layer is detached from the cover body, the outer layer and the inner layer are able to stagger from each other so as to form a feeding access to expose a breast of a user.
