Nursing Bras for smaller back but bigger boobs!

at the moment im a 30F, when I had my DS my boobs just went absolutely huge but then I lost loads of weight and have since had a breast uplift and implants, after I had my DS I was about 34G.....not bad.....easy to find due to back size being 34....I have searched and searched for nursing bras with a smaller back and bigger cup size but anything less than a 34 seems to stop at a D...at a push a DD, obviously towards the end with the bump im more than likely to end up in a 32 for comfort but I will definitely be making sure I have well fitting bras after spending a small fortune on getting them "fixed" after my last pregnancy!

Any suggestions where can I find some?

Nursing bra shop (Google it) has 28 backs on large cup sizes with some Royce bras. Have just ordered more for me but still up at a 34 back as ribcage expanded a fair amount. Very quick delivery.

fab thanks random will try that one. Thought I had managed to visit every site on google but must have missed that one.

I'm a 32E and got my nursing bras in the figleaves sale section. Picked up a few lovely ones reduced to ten pounds each.

Bravissimo, I'm a 32F. I thought their fitting service was fantastic.

Thanks ladies....im obviously not looking hard enough Blush

I also got 32e bras from mothercare

Hotmilk.com. Terrible name, fabulous comfy bras.

KatharinaRosalie · 09/11/2015 12:22

buy normal bras and coversion kits from ebay - you will have loads more choice, better prices and most importanly, better support.

Everythinggettingbigger · 09/11/2015 12:35

its the price that's bothering me on the few sites I have seen (£40 for one bra Shock) Katharina so that may be a good idea! never thought of that....I have to wear matching sets (slight OCD) and I usually have really pretty sets so looking at some of the nursing bras is making me want to cry Grin will have a look at that now thank you.

Havent seen any on Mothercare Dixie will have to keep my eyes peeled.

Hotmilk is a very unfortunate name Mrs but will check that out too thank you.

Freya do a nursing bra in 28/30 backs - I grabbed one in a 30HH on Figleaves the other week for 70% off.

KatharinaRosalie · 09/11/2015 13:45

Yup exactly, I'm a 30GG at the moment, and at that size, the choice in nursing bras is pretty much limited to either wearing one, or not. Grin And I don't want to pay tons of money for ugly unsupportive matronly bras either. Converting is dead easy and suddenly you can choose between hundreds of pretty, affordable bras (ebay, Brastop etc).

I love the hotmilk bras. Honestly the figleaves sale section is great. If you are not due until the new year I would hit the january sales on the figleaves website. Lovely sets.

Everythinggettingbigger · 09/11/2015 14:47

ooo great idea Dixie didn't think of the January sales, I'm actually not due until May but reality keeps hitting that's there is possibly only 4 pay days after Christmas before baby arrives!

Bravissimo are amazing, just got myself some nursing bras. For being a 34h its the first time I have ever felt so compfy in a bra. Maybe ask for vouchers for Christmas too? You'll want to get remeasured every few months anyway.

randomsabreuse · 10/11/2015 04:09

I'd wait. Went from pre pregnancy 30H to 34J now I'm feeding. Couldn't bear an underwire from pretty early on either. Royce from Nursing Bra Shop under £25 so cheaper than my normal bras

Sighing · 10/11/2015 06:31

I do recommend the Royce bras (mostly as less and less nursing bras come in my current J/K cup).
They can be a bit 'pointy' (50's shape) but are very comfy.

I bought a 34G nursing bra from mothercare at the weekend for £18. They don't seem to be on their website but they are in the shops. The lady who helped me said they did go up to a H or a J but they weren't in the prettiest of styles. They also had a double pack of a white and a black for £30 I think. Hope you find one that fits!

BushyTailedPony · 10/11/2015 19:08

I also recommend the Nursing Bra Shop. Have all different sizes. Specifically love the hotmilk first light ivory one - it's so comfy, looks nice and gives good shape for a non wire. It's about £26 I think but I'm about to order another one as it's so comfy.
