does anyone use these? where did you get it? are you happy with it? does it work well with feeding or is it more awkward to 'operate' when feeding out and about?

really missing shaped boobs!! but i wanted to check people's opinions on these before forking out for one.

ta very much.

i've never seen one, where can you get them? i've got quite large boobs and nonwired bras dont really have enough support. thought you weren't supposed to have underwire though, or is that just when you're pg?

i think its blooming marvellous that i've seen them in. i'll check and confirm.

underwired bras are supposed to interfere with the natural changes that happen in the breast during pregnancy and breastfeeding

(or so I've always been told, have never seen any research to back it up though)

I got one! And it's my special bra
I made sure it fitted well being underwired. Have had no problems with it, it can be trickier than my M&S ones to open but I think that's because I try and take more care of it being that much more expensive.

Are the underwires any different to ordinary underwires? The catalogue claims they are 'soft'.

ja9 · 06/10/2004 17:35

prettycandles, it says they have'easy one-handed opening'...

anyone else got feedback for me? has anyone seen them for sale anywhere other than Blooming Marvellous.

Oh, maybe I misremember. Still, I'd like to know how the uw differ from 'conventional'uw. BM do have an uw maternity bra in the same range.

BTW I've always found all feeding bras easy to open one-handed - but closing them one-handed is another matter entirely!
