Leaky boobs but hate wearing bras!

Does anyone have any brilliant suggestions to help me out?

I'm 25+3 and my boobs are leaking pretty much continuously. Not huge amounts, but enough to leave crusty stains on my t-shirts.

I wear a bra throughout the day, but in the evening I like to wear loose, baggy and massively unattractive clothes. Ergo, no bra.

I know I could buy breast pads, but I don't know how I'd attach them to me / the t-shirt, if there is no bra to hold them in place.

Any ideas would be highly appreciated!

Comfy sports bra type thing? My boobs hurt so much that I have given up my bras and I'm just sticking to my sports bras.

I live in m&s sleep crop tops at home. so comfy and give u a small bit of support and u could put breast pads in!!

Hideous JML style 'magic bras' - I got some large sized ones when I was pregnant (am only a 6/8 normally) and they are soooo comfy. Very cheap (get them in asda/ wilkos) and great for feeding and when your milk comes in too as you don't need to go and get bigger bras for those few days/ weeks. I'm currently BFing and still wear them at night to stop leaks, you can't feel them at all, no seams/ wires etc.

Just re-read my post and realised that it could have come across that they are cut small - not at all, I was trying to demonstrate their amazing stretching abilities - from absolutely enormous while pregnant, to bigger when milk came in, to small now. Stayed comfy and supportive throughout.

I got sleep bras from mothercare and they are great. I wore them at night through pregnancy and bfing and am wearing them now I'm pg with no2.

I guess you could fix some breastpads directly to your boobs using that magic tape stuff?? Or plain old plasters?

Thanks all. Am going to have a look around as I'm quickly running out of clean tops and sitting in a t-shirt crusty with my own juices is not an attractive look...

Lilypadz silicone Breast pads - they are about 15 pound a pair but reusable, stick em over your nipples and voila no need for a bra Grin
