I’ve been wandering around all day trying to find a couple of nursing bras again. It seems you have to either have a big back size to get the big cups, or the small cups to get the small back size. Frustrating! I am currently a 30FF and 36 weeks. This is my first baby and I plan to breastfeed, so I have no idea what to expect with my boobs and bras.
I tried on a few of the non-wired bras to get a feel for them and then order similar in my size online, but I hate how unsupported they felt. It feels pointless even wearing one apart from being able to insert the breast pads. Or is that what it’s only use is lol. Can you wear underwired bras? If not is there such a thing as a supportive non-wired bra for bigger boobs? Is it really that difficult? Lol!!
I have been looking at some from Next. You get a black and a white one for £30 and they have 32E and 32F. I was thinking of ordering one of them to see how they fit as I’ve heard their sizing is awful lol. So it might be ok. Plus I have a £15 voucher from there Wink anyone tried Next bras?

Thanks so much for the help!!

Can second the nursing bra shop. They go up to an L cup! I have a quick look and in a 30FF they have 9 options. I was a 36H in the end and in a 36H they have 24 options! Must be a small business as it is a pretty limited market! www.nursingbra-shop.co.uk/

I looked on Figleaves on my size and they have 21 so and in a 30FF they have 8....but I think they are more expensive. Has anyone tried Amazon?

Molke. Like wearing an incredibly supportive and flexible cloud.and easy to pull down for feeding.

I’ve been breastfeeding for a long time now and the only ones that have ever provided real support and felt like a normal bra are HotMilk.

Make sure you check out the clearance bit on their website, I’ve picked up some lovely bargains on there.

I converted my underwired bras instead

Go to bravisimmo. They'll do a proper fitting and if you change size you can exchange

+for www.nursingbra-shop.co.uk mentioned above.

I found that I ended up in a 32 or 34 after pregnancy despite being a 28 pre-pregnancy as my ribs flared so much. So I wouldn’t worry massively. I found loads of bras in a 32GG/H no problems. I’m still BF my toddler and now down to a 30E/F 😩😂

NotYourHun · 13/02/2020 10:26

Oh also, stretchy cheap amazon nursing bras (in a large) were fine most of the time. I only had a few more expensive Freya and Royce ones for special occasions!

Notabadger · 13/02/2020 10:34

I mostly wore underwired ones, no probs. The only time I didn't was the last few weeks of pregnancy (when my bump pressed up against the wire) and the first month or so when tbh I didn't leave the house often or wear a bra much at all (Blush) bought two v cheap ones for this period which were non wire so I could chuck them in the washing machine.
Agree that bra band extenders are good too

DerbyshireGirly · 13/02/2020 12:01

I went from a 30D to a 32G by 32 weeks pregnant. Now 35 weeks and haven't remeasured but think my band will definitely have gone up. No idea what size nursing bra to buy.

I thought you were only meant to go up by two cup sizes! They're out of control Grin
