Maternity/nursing bras - are there any that are vaguely attractive?!

[Janus]

Just about to get some in advance of 2nd birth and god they're pretty bloody ugly!! I must admit my current non under-wired bra is hardly stunning but they seem to get even bigger and uglier for nursing. Is there any that have even a bit of style?
I did look at the Bravado leopard print bra but can't decide if that's maybe taking things a bit too far, ie does it look a bit cheap in real life?, and not sure on the design as it appears you have to pull the thing on over your head or something (ie it doesn't un-do) and not sure how practical that is (my boobs are not small, whose is though when breastfeeding!).
Anyone come across any good ones or maybe just one that is pretty comfortable without feeling completely trussed up??
Thanks.

M&S has a new lacy style apparently - not on the website yet, unfortunately, but apparently 'very sexy' and hurrah comes in BLACK. £19.

I wore stretchy Bravado-type ones at night last time till dd started sleeping through and I woke up every morning at 4am in increasing agony till she finally woke up - and this went on for SIX WEEKS. Who said you readjust 'naturally'?

My good friend Mears sent me this page and thought I might like to comment. Have not been onto the chat pages for a while but thought it was time to join in! I am testing out all maternity bras at the moment for my job as Breastfeeding Promotion Consultant for www.midwivesonline.com They will be introducing a new breastfeeding centre of excellence in the coming months. I will be scoring all the bras and will come up with the Top designs. I have personally breastfed for a total of seven years as well as being a midwife for 18 so I think I know the most important features to look for. So far the Anita is doing well, along with the Emma-Jane ,Bravado and Maternelle by Elle Macpherson. The Royce bra is definately one to avoid, poor design overall and lace fabric does not 'give' so could cause blocked ducts.There is also a catalogue which is based in the isle of man called bresona. Some of the stuff looks a bit dated but the bras look promising and I am awaiting samples to test. They do come in a very wide range of sizes which is good for the well endowed! For the full report keep a lookout on the web-site in the coming months. There will also be lots of Qs & As, tips etc. Hope this has been of some help. If there is anythig that you would be interested in having on a breastfeeding web-site, tell me and I will try to oblige.

Love Anita myself.... very very comfortable !

I didn't like Emma Jane bras as the tape stuff across the inside of the cup irritated my nipples. I think I bought a mix of M/Care and Boots bras in the end.

I think I've tried every feeding bra going. I'm currently bfding for the second time and did 8 months with no. 1. Baby no. 2 is now 5 weeks old. These are my findings:

First time round I bought Royce bras before the baby arrived but they were so unsupportive for larger breasts (I am normally a 32 F but breastfeeding am more like 32 H). I tried Emma Jane but they didn't quite fit properly. Ended up with 3 NCT bras from their website. Have since recommended them to several people, all with positive feedback.

If you've got a big bust I suggest the Berlei - most supportive so you avoid saggy boobs round the tum syndrome - although it's a faff to open. Anita bras are gorgeous but mine isn't big enough when I am engorged so I don't wear it - too scared I will get mastitis.

I recommend the website Mothernature.co.uk for good service and choice. Have never tried M&S just because their normal bras do nothing for me - give me triangular-shaped boobs.

Hope this is of use to someone!
