Bra extender?!

I've seen one of these on Bloomin marvellous and was wondering if anyone knew of anywhere else that does them? My nearest BM is a bit too far away and I was hoping I might be able to go and get them a bit nearer to home this afternoon. Any ideas?! Thanks!

I've seen them in little haberdashery shops and market stalls.

Hope you find one!

Yes La senza do, over double the price though... Dp dosen't want to go to BM, but maybe if the costs are too high!!!

I got mine in John Lewis

Just a wee word of advice. I used these and the lady in john lewis was appalled when I finally went in to get some new bras. She reckoned you need all the support you can get when you are pregnant and bfing and the extenders make the bra fit you round the back but the cup part becomes ill fitting. Sorry haven't really explained that right. In my opinion bras sound be on perscription.

Thanks Pesme, but I literally got measured and new bras two weeks ago. I think that my bras are still a littel tight around my middle though, and might be making my back bad. I'm undoing all the bras I have at every opportunity, even at work, so they aren't doing much of a job of supporting me like that either! I will bear it in mind though if I start spilling over! Bras on prescription would be wonderful!

What size are you, if that isn't a personal question? I have a couple of 36DD and a 38DD bras that sadly are too big now . You can have them for postage cost!
As for the extenders, Kleeneeze do them in a 2 pack for a couple of quid. This will only help if you have a distributor in your area!

Aww, thanks Ixel, that really is very kind of you! I measure a 38DD but some of them do still just feel a little tight. I managed to get hold of two (one white, one black ) from John Lewis, so thank you to those who suggested there! But thank you again Ixel, your a sweetie!

Hi flossam, you have my total sympathy. I have been up (& thankfully down) every bra size its a totally pain in the arse. I think I was a 38 e at one stage.
