Depends on what you wear

I had black cos I wear lots of dark colours. Something tells me you do too so go for black and maybe one white?

sparklygothkat · 09/08/2007 23:20

I wear a lot of black, but sometimes wear light tops.

Black black black. It's going to show. Go for black.

JARM · 09/08/2007 23:20

Ive got one white so far, and will be getting black too - i wear mainly white or black tops anyway so i guess i need both!

paolosgirl · 09/08/2007 23:20

Deffo one of each. Although you'll be too knackered to care whether your black bra can be seen under your white top

sparklygothkat · 09/08/2007 23:22

have a black maternity bra on atm, and have lots of black underware, even my big pants are black. lol!!

do these ones look ok??

JARM · 09/08/2007 23:26

look ok to me mate - had to check they were cotton though as looked like that nasty shiny material in the pic!

would be concerned about sizing from ebay, but i guess you can always sell them on!

motherinferior · 09/08/2007 23:26

I'd be a bit iffy about second hand ones, tbh - I wear loads of second hand clothes, it's not usually a problem, but nursing bras might be a bit washed-out.

MamaG · 09/08/2007 23:26

Yes they look supportive and are cotton so you won't have sweaty tits

I haven't said tits for years

sparklygothkat · 09/08/2007 23:27

they are new, not second hand. They do sell those shiny ones, but prefer cotton myself

oh and i know they arent cheap, but i just got my white one from Next - £14 each but oooooh it feels so good on and has the drop cup thing

MamaG · 09/08/2007 23:29

the ebay ones ARE cotton jarm, I read it

JARM · 09/08/2007 23:30

orangehead · 09/08/2007 23:31

MamaG · 09/08/2007 23:32

sparklygothkat · 09/08/2007 23:32
