Can anyone recommend a good multiway maternity bra?

That's it really- something to wear under halter neck etc. Good support, not too many miles of material to pop up above a neckline, yet with decent support. Prefer non-wired, ideally black. Anyone? Thanks!

Do such things exist? Except for smaller boobies which don't need so much support, surely there's just no way you can get enough support for going strapless/halterneck without underwiring. If they existed I doubt they would work very well.

Do they have them on Marisota etc? If they don't sell them nobody will!

If it's for a special occasion then I would just go for a normal underwired bit of scaffolding. I can't see how wearing a proper underwired bra for just a few hours - or even a day is going to damage your breasts so long as it fits properly and is not digging in or too tight. Debenhams do good normal multiway bras at v reasonable prices or try specialist bra places.

On a side subject (I might start a new thread on this) I'm wearing big ugly maternity bras myself, but I'm still not convinced I really need to be doing so. I would like someone to point me to some solid medical evidence for how evil underwired bras are - (maybe in the cheap ones where wires can ping out and stab your boob but does that really happen in real life?) It's my understanding that it's a poor fit that's the problem, wouldn't a too-small non-wired bra be just as bad?

If properly fitted you can wear a normal wired bra, no need for a maternity one!
