Your recommendations please.
With DS1 and DS2 I wore nursing bras where the disc shaped outline of my breast pads were so, so obvious, I don't wanna go out 3rd time around looking that again .
Can you ladies recommend a padded/t-shirt nursing bra? I've searched the net and cannot at a glance see anything matching that description.
Thanking you all in advance.

Hi, i think mothercare do them. I had the same prob so will def be investing in some this time round!

M&S have some actually. They are a bit odd though, very padded. Personally I ditched breast pads and used soft terry nappy liners, they didn't show up at all under any bra and were v absorbent.

The headlights look is very unflattering I agree.

mothercare do a t shirt style bra, its not padded but i dont think you'll be able to see pads through it

i bought the mothercare one, they do them in pink black and white, haven't tried it yet as am flippin overdue, but it does look as if it will hide the dreaded pads... and will give a bit of uplift too which not unhelpful...

I found Lansinoh washable breastpads didn't show through, and my bras weren't thick/padded.

Also beware, padding and seams on bras can cause blocked ducts and lumpy engorged breasts - especially if you wear them at night. It isn't the case for everyone, but could be something to think about.

Point taken ILikeToMoveItMoveIt, I'd forgotten about that.

It depends what size you are but the mothercare t-shirt nursing bras are good - I found them much better than the M&S ones. However, they never seem to have them in stores over a C cup and on-line they are forever out of stock. I think they only go up to a E cup as well.....

Buy Lilly Padz (e.g. from Amazon) instead of the usual breast pads and then you can wear whatever bra you want, or indeed, not one at all if it takes your fancy.

Have been trying to get one of these mothercare bras but they seems to have been withdrawn. No luck online or on the phone. If anyone sees a 36E in a shop please let me know.

I got one in M & S
What about Lilypadz instead of absorbent pads? They should be fairly invisible.
