Bras for already large boobs...

[firsttimer12345]

Am currently a 30H but wear a 32G as much easier to source. Am only 4 + 4 but boobs are already huge. Any ideas where I can get cheap bras? Already tried my local m&s and mothercare but neither do small enough backs or large enough cups

The Wonderbra strapless comes up quite tight so you might get away with the 34G. Failing that, the Freya Deco strapless is roomier plus it goes up to a GG.

So I bought a 32G wonderbra strapless plunge bra for a wedding which is on Saturday. Fit perfectly under the dress I'm wearing. Now my boobs are spilling out. They don't go up past a G but I'm worried about going for a 34G as the back will be big and it will fall down?!

I bought a Tesco wireless full support for £8 and it's been amazing! I will probably buy a more expensive one once I feel ready for an actual maternity one but this has done the trick! 40G here!

I'd forgotten all about Bra Stop. It has pretty much every bra you lovely ladies have suggested in the clearance section!!!! Thank you all xxx

I ordered a load of bras from brastop and then sent most of them back. They're much cheaper than Bravissimo and stock up to K cup. There are very few very large cup nursing bras (I have some horrors from Royce) but you can make your own by converting an ordinary bra using clips and elastic.

I feel your pain OP - if you think it's hard to find a normal bra just wait till you want to find a nursing bra. (I gave up to it in the end and decided bottle feeding was the way forward)

Bravissimo were OK when I was pregnant, but only ok. I am normally a massive fan but didn't have very good maternity options in my opinion.

I eventually resorted to a sports bras as there was no underwire and they are generally really supportive, hope you manage to find something suits

I have found that avoiding maternity bras really helps. There isn't enough support in them anyway!!

Debenhams do nice maternity bras. Plus post birth when feeding is established - if you choose to bf - I got lovely underwired ones from there, they have a good selection.

I am also large of boob already and pregnancy has made them balloon! Im nearly 18 weeks and think I’ve gone from an E to a G so far....! I’ve just ordered a few from Zalando so hoping some of them will be suitable for a month or so...

[firsttimer12345]

Wonderful advice everyone. Feeling huge tonight! Will be investigating all the options tomorrow!

[LittleFox10]

No advise but reading your thread and we are a day apart! I'm 4+5 x

M&S do a larger total support bra up to K cup for £18 but you have to order online.

Yours do the bigger cup sizes but not sure on the band width.

I've been wearing a Royce one but I would try to get into a Bravissimo to get measured as they do come up small I think.

Another vote for bravissimo, especially if you can get to one of their shops. I've now got a Sophie soft cup and a deco soft cup bra as I started at a 32GG pre-pregnancy and am beyond that now! Sophie bra is so comfy. Deco is less so, but I have to wear uniform for work so needed something that I could wear with an open necked white shirt (only one maternity wear uniform option!!) and the other bras in nude came up too high. The lady in the shop was so helpful, but I think they also give fitting advice over the phone.

I'm usually a 32ff and mine are over spilling at 9 weeks.
Last pg I ended up a 36h. Got an awful shaped bra from bravissimo in two colours.
I just bought some stretchy type maternity bras from amazon, not an ideal fit but ideal for around the house or sleeping when my boobs are too painful to not wear anything

[LittleSheps]

I was a 32GG pre-pregnancy and at 13 weeks have just bought a couple of Panache Sophie nursing bras in a 34H. Got a really good price on Poinsettia for £24 each, pretty sure they stock it in Bravissimo and on Figleaves. Panache was my favourite brand pre-pregnancy and the Sophie is so soft and comfy (and also really supportive) so think I'll wear these throughout my pregnancy now. Big thumbs up from me!

[PippaRose]

I'm not sure about what sizes they do but got a bravado nursing bra at the weekend (am 33 weeks so getting ahead). They are not cheap but have not felt this comfortable in ages!

Hope you find one that works for you

Hi Firsttimer

I was a 32GG prior to pregnancy so have had similar issues, although I realise even a slightly bigger back a difference. I got a very comfortable 34H from Bravissimo for £30. It is just a soft cup bra but they also do a nursing one by a brand called Royce. They might do a 32? It does give you a bit of an odd pointy shape but I've found if I wear a vest it isn't really noticeable.

I did get measured in mother care this weekend and she put me at 36H now but tbh I found the bra really unsupportive.

I'm only 14 weeks so I'm a bit worried if everything keeps growing, although I guess if its just the back then it should actually make it easier to find bras!

Thanks Leirope! Am in the group but so are a few of my friends so don't want to post just yet. But eBay. Genius.

Have you joined the Boob or Bust Facebook group? They'll help you make sure that you're wearing the right size first of all. I'm a 28H/30G and have found the best place for "awkward" sizes is eBay or Amazon.
