Maternity bras

Best time to buy maternity bras? And where is good to get them from? Most of my maternity clothes have come from new look, I did buy some maternity sleep bras in a size bigger than pre-pregnancy but I've grown out of those already, I'm 23 weeks tomorrow. 😬

Without sounding too personal, what kind of size are you?

I'm a G cup so my experiences might not translate if you're a smaller bust but..

I got a lovely one recently it's the "Hotmilk temptation" in pink. Really comfy & they have some styles that are actually nice to look at. Not cheap though unfortunately,

I tried the Sugar Candy non wired nursing bra which looked nice on the model but trying it on, it was god awful. Like two tennis balls in socks!

I'm 24 weeks and I switched to bralets at ~20 weeks. They are quite stretchy and other more flexibility in size than my bras so I didn't have to worry as much about getting the size spot on with ordering online with no easy return. I'm usually a 28-30DD, I've probably gone up to a 32DD in pregnancy and am using m & s dd+ bralets in a size 8, no sign of them getting too tight yet but i don't know how long that will last! They were about £9 each so didn't break the bank and I should be able to wear them post pregnancy too because of them not being so fitted.

Thank you both.. I'm usually a 36DD, I bought a 38E to try and they've done okay up til this point. I'll pay anything for a decent comfy bra haha. I'll definitely look into bralets :)
