Nursing bras

Can anyone recommend good nursing bras. I want something comfortable, but I’m quite large chested so need something fairly supportive. With the lockdowns I don’t think I’m going to get anywhere to get measured properly so I’m totally at a loss at what to buy.

I liked 'Hot Milk' - and quite big chested myself! To be honest the measuring before hand is a bit pointless anyway, as you change that much when your milk comes in. I seem to remember them having millions of hook & eyes so you can adjust a lot.

I go to M&S as they are reasonable price. I would go up a couple of cup sizes for when your milk comes in, then once in and settled measure yourself. You can then invest in some hot milk ones when you know the right size. It's hard because you can't get assessed by anyone at the moment.

I like the Freya Pure nursing bra. It is simply a nursing version of their normal t shirt bra, which is also my go to when not nursing!

Both versions are called Pure, so be sure to get the nursing one if you decide to go for it.

Primark has amazing nursing bra's i bought 4 and im very satisfied!

Thanks for the suggestions. I hadn’t heard of hot milk but had a google and a lot of the reviews seem to be quite poor for a something so expensive.
Primark bras I can never get a big enough size in.
I’ll have a look at the m&s and Freya ones though thanks.

Bravissimo are a good bet for larger chested ladies though can be pricey I ended up with 3 though and they were great.

I usually recommend brastop for weird sized bras (my back size is 28 so I can even struggle in bravissimo). I've ordered bras in multiple sizes from there in the past and returned the ones that don't fit, and they do sell some maternity/nursing ones too.

I got a bravissimo sleep nursing bra and found it very comfortable for around the house. The support isn't as good for my large chest as a proper bra but it was quite comfortable and easy to manage / manoeuvre

I was between DD and E when pregnant. I bought a pack of 2 maternity/breast feeding bras from boohoo for £20. They are so comfortable and surprisingly supportive considering no underwire. The only problem I found with them is that 4 months on, the cups are kind of misshapen from laundry. I guess this is to be expected for only £20 though!

Big busted mama to be here too. I've gone up to a 36G, I have bought M&S nursing bras but off eBay. They are brand new with the tags but a lot cheaper. I do find M&S not very generous on the back size though.
