SUPPORTIVE breastfeeding bras

Anyone discovered one? Mine just cover rather than hold! Bear in mind my evergrowing bust which stands at 34/36 G atm. And is far from pert anymore!

I used the Bravado bras, which I found very supportive, and very comfortable.

I've got the 36J from Royce (although my non-feeding bra is currently a 36G and fits).

The Royce one is deeply unsexy - squashes my boobs into a very odd shape. But there really doesn't seem to be a lot of choice for large cup sizes

forgot to say - the Royce bra is definitely better than no bra! but my boobs are at least an inch lower than with proper underwired support.

The biggest and best selection of maternity/nursing bras anywhere in the world can be found at the following fantastic US website: www.birthandbabyorders.com they are full of advice as to how different bras actually fit, and will deliver anywhere in the world very quickly.
I live in Zambia where there is no such thing as a regular bra bigger than a D cup (I was a 36E pre-pg, now b/f my 4mo DS and a 38G), let alone any nursing bras....
Cannot recommend these fab US ladies highly enough! (and believe me, I've tried EVERYWHERE)

Anna Cecilia does an amazing support zip nursing bra. www.annacecilia.com/ The support is fantastic and the material is very nice too.

M&S do a good one. Have a look on ebay too!The mothercare ones are pants.

I know this sounds odd, but I've noticed that you can buy underwired nursing bras for smaller sizes but not for larger ones... I know you're not supposed to wear wires etc etc but my huge norks are so baggy in these bras I get quite down about their general yukkiness... I've got the Royce ones fitted in Bravissimo, but even then they look, well, shit.

I was a 36G for a few months when first feeding and wish I had known about this site then as I used mothercare ones which were rubbish as someone has said.

I asked the nct bfing helpline if I could wear underwired but they said is I had been feeding ds for 10 months as long as i got a well fitting one it would be ok but can cause mastitus (sp?)if used early on or a poorly fitting one. FYI

I used nct ones - the comfort, which was literally that comfortable and supportive -i've have (uhum) a larger bosom.

Re underwires and big boobs... the US site I mentioned in a previous post (I promise I don't work for them!) has a whole section of underwired bras and ones (u-wired and not) for those of us who are seriously well-endowed. For what it's worth, I'm now wearing nothing but Anita underwired bras in 38F - it's a joy to finally have some support back after nearly a year!! (my ds is 4mo)
will try posting the link again - I'm new to this so not sure if it works here it is...
