Maternity/nursing bras

Hello - I do not work for them so this is a genuine comment but I have just bought the holy grail of bras. Having done two pregnancies and four years of breastfeeding - 2 babies! wearing annoying, seamed, over patterned uncomfy bras I treated myself (!) in this pregnancy and this one is amazing!!!

Its the Bravado seamless. I am never taking it off.

It is expensive (£28 from nursing bra website) but GENUINELY brilliant.

That is all!

Will look into it closer to the time, I was told to get myself measured two weeks before due date

Sadly they don't go up to my size. :(

Oh sorry weeblue - I should have added my boobs are average (c), but for some reason all the maternity bras I have tried are just so uncomfortable.

I am ordering one of these straight away! I am 31+4 and my bra size has gone up from a 32d to 34G and all the bras I have got are ugly and so uncomfortable, hoping this is the answer to my prayers as I have run out of options!

I'm 36 weeks and having nightmares with bras as all company's seem to stop at small (G/H) cup sizes, I could go to Bravissimo but means a 2 and a a half hour train journey to get to Manchester unless any wiser ideas? I think its crazy that stores just don't stock real sizes.

I was suggested these with my first.
They are amazing.
I'm now wearing mine again during preggo.

star, you can measure yourself the Bra Intervention (check Style and Beauty) way, and order online. It's totally fine to keep wearing your normal underwired bras during both pregnancy and breastfeeding, as long as they fit properly.

I have to say my local bra shop is brilliant and they can get bras up to a 40L. It's in Worcester thought so not sure if it'd be local for anyone?

I love the Bravado Bodysilk - I'm a G cup when not pregnant or nursing and find their medium fits me really well.

Wenglish · 07/02/2015 13:59

How supportive is it?

anothergenericname · 08/02/2015 21:36

Pretty darn good. Not as good as my underwired, cantilevered Bravissimmo beauties that I wear when not pregnant, but impressive for something that doesn't dig in anywhere

Stinkersmum · 09/02/2015 06:34

does anyone have a recommendations for bras to sleep in whilst pregnant? I cannot go to bed now with them 'free'. It hurts...

HazleNutt · 09/02/2015 09:32

Bravissimo PJ tops with built-in bras. Also great for feeding (the normal strappy ones, racerbacks are more tricky)

Stinkersmum · 09/02/2015 10:29

Thanks [Hazlenutt], I'll take a look :)
