Supportive, underwired bras that I can feed in???

Help!

I'm still bfing DD (5 months) but getting completely sick of my awful, thick-strapped, saggy bfing bras.

I'm something like a 34G so I REALLY miss underwire and proper support. I have a bra from before baby that I wore the other day, it has sort if stretch cups that I could just pull down to feed and it was incredible wearing underwire again, but the cups were just that bit too small.

Does anyone have suggestions of underwired feeding bras. Or even normal bras with particularly stretchy cups?

My breasts and I would be eternally grateful.

I miss underwire too. Have a look at anita, they do some underwired feeding bras (couldn't get the size right personally but lots swear by them).

Anita bras are fab, though I just used standard bras after a while

I'd say anita too. Something they don't advertise but happily do is adjust them for you. Eg I bought a 34j but the back was too big. 32j cups too small. As they don't do bigger sizes they adjusted the 34j to a 32. You wouldn't know they'd done it and it fits really well.

Anita!

I could not get Anita to fit properly, the cups were too shallow for me. The is also Elomi smoothing underwire. I never tried them because they only start at 34 back but could be great for you. Alternatively, adapt a oral bra to be a feeding bra. Look at the last couple of posts on this blog for inspiration www.stackdd.com/

Normal, not oral!

Neiffer that sounds amazing, what a service!

And theresmore I think I might use your idea as an interim solution - I have a bra from when I was pregnant that is the right size but has stiff cups.

Thank you so much all, you have saved me from giving up breastfeeding because of the discomfort :)
