Hi!

Just wanted to ask whether I can wear wired bras. I breastfeed my DD, but when I go to work I want to look good and breastfeeding bras do not give that look.

thanks
Lilia

For the first few months I wore those very unattractive maternity bras, but they just don't look very attractive under a figure hugging top. I wore my wonderbra up until I stopped breastfeeding my ds at 17 months. Wear your wired bra with pride Lilia.

I went back to wired bras when DD was 6 months old. Hurray. Found I have changed size though (smaller!) Perky - not.

Second time around and I'm saying 'Yah. Boo. Sucks' to maternity bras. I'm using underwired strapless bras as my maternity wear at the moment (was 34 b now 38b/c) and I think it's great.

I have never felt any prob with blocked ducts which is the reason not to wear underwired, It seems overrated to me.

I wouldn't wear underwired bras because I have had blocked ducts from bras that weren't fitting right I found the NCT Mava zip cup bras look good, giving a great shape under tight-fitting tops

M&S have started doing maternity bras, don't know what they are like though. I threw out bras from DD they were gross I hate big bras. I'm not looking forward to feeding bras 24*7 again!

I have 2 nursing bras from M&S which aren't too bad. I used them as maternity bras this time around as well. M&S have quite a range of non-underwire bras. I personally don't like underwire bras bfing or not (i find them uncomfortable), so I'm always on the search for nice non-underwire bras. Maidenform used to make some great ones, but nowadays it's really hard to find attractive ones.

I've heard that Bravissimo do nice, sexy maternity bras, such as leopard skin etc. It might be worth checking their website to see what they have.

THank you very much for your responses. It gave me such a great relieve.
