Large size underwired nursing bras

Hi,
Just wondered if anyone knew where I can get underwired nursing bra's in large sizes? I hate the non wired ones but I can't find any others!

I don't think they exist, I've never seen a wired one as they say they are not great during pregnancy and feeding. Bravissimo might be helpful?

Try amplebosom.com. They have a selection.

underwired nursing bras do exist. have you measured properly so you know your correct size?

Whatabout · 14/02/2015 21:05

Seraphine and Jojo have some but not very large.

dementedpixie · 14/02/2015 21:08

hotmilk sell them I think

nursing bra shop are good. I like the Anita ones best (am 32G) but Dsis has properly big boobs Smile and she found underwired ones from there that fitted brilliantly. I think was better than Bravissimo.

Oh, and underwired maternity/nursing bras are fine as long as you make sure they are the right size. The underwiring has to be flush to your ribcage and not cut into any breast tissue. Smile

Bras4mums had some, plus excellent advice, but that was a couple of years ago now.

I asked on AIBU a while back, and some genius told me to buy converter clips on ebay and take my bras to a seamstress. Cost me £12 total to adjust one of my normal bras to a nursing one. It worked perfectly.

I found Elomi do great nursing bras, underwired. Around the £30 mark but very well made and comfortable.

I always recommend converting. There are very limited number of underwired nursing bras in large sizes, and they are horribly expensive. (also careful when ordering the Anita Underwired - it has different sizing system and cups are smaller than you would think).

Converting is dead easy though and you can simply buy normal bras, way easier to find bargains as well. I even converted a lovely Fauve bra last time - much better support than any nursing bra will offer.

I have a Freya Pure in 30FF and I love it. You can get them from Ample Bosom. Make sure you know your correct size. I went to Bravissimo to be fitted first, but didn't like any of their nursing bras.

Bravissimo refuse on principle to sell under wired nursing bras. I complain in their book every time I go in.

The Anita ones are great - really life changing to not have to slump around with back pain and tits around your middle for several years.
