Desperately missing underwired bras!!!

Hi, I'm looking for some advice about nursing bras and hope this is the right place to ask?

Basically I have huge boobs which have grown from an already large 36F before pregnancy to a whopping 38GG. I am still exclusively breast feeding my DD who is 4 months old. Ever since my boobs started growing in early pregnancy I ditched the under wire. But I miss it so much!! My boobs are now so droopy.

I wondered whether anyone else has had experience of wearing underwired bras while breastfeeding and was it ok or do you wish you hadn't? I know nursing bras don't have under wire but I'm so desperate that I'm contemplating getting an under wired bra and adapting it into a nursing bra. Is this a crazy idea??

There are loads of underwired ones! Google Anita or Freya underwired nursing bras, but adapting isn't a bad idea either. Once it fits properly its fibe

Anita underwired nursing bras will change your life. Look on ebay to get them a bit cheaper. They were the best money I spent, and tbh by dc 3 I was wearing a normal bra and just whipping a boob out quite easily when needed (boobs were of course wrecked at this point...)

Thanks, I did look into Anita nursing bras but a couple of reviews said they're not so good for large boobs so it put me off. would you say this is true? Could be worth a shot though! Thanks ??

I was then very same size as you when I was feeding ds1 and Anita bras were very supportive and comfortable. They have a deep band and wide straps as far as I remember. They were a revelation as finally my clothes hung normally rather than going round with a hideous mono boob. The granny bras I bought at great expense from Mothercare were worse than useless with such a big chest to support.

Thanks ... just noticed this post. I am also tired of monoboob.

Thanks will definitely give them a whirl then! Monoboob is the least of my worries, I'm sick of the empire line on my nursing tops going over my boobs rather than under them!
