Individual Chic: Maternity bras

04 April 2008

Maternity bras

Man these things are unfashionable. Not particularly comfortable either. And why oh why can’t you buy bras in an E or bigger in the shops. I’m a DD normally, but throw some milk into the mix and things ... expand. I went looking before Sonja came and got a few that were DD, but there is no way I’m getting to the shops any time soon.

In the end I’ve had to order some on-line, and even then there is almost nothing available for bigger boobs.

  • I have a Berlei Barely There Maternity bra in14DD which is quite OK, I wouldn’t recommend it though.
  • The Bonds bras don’t suit me, though I do have a few of their 14D singlets (camis for you US people), which are practical for wearing under other shirts or sleeping in.
  • I bought a Bravado Original Nursing Bra Double Plus, which is perfect for sleeping in and very comfy.
  • I also bought a Lovable Maternity Bra, one of the few that goes past DD and these are fabulous. I have two in 14DD.

Ah you're really back! I missed you.

And the bras are bad but those little pads for leakage are worse...

I discovered something! Victoria's secret actually carries nursing bras! And as they're American sized their cups are one larger than Australian, i.e. their DD is an Aussie E. I wear a C cup there but I always threaten to spill out of a D cup here.

go look!! they're quite fashionable though I don't know how practical.

Icy,

Nice to have you back, shame about the maternity bra situation ... I'll mention this to the wife to see if she has any good tips for ya ... cute bub BTW.

In the meantime, I'm propagating one of those terrible '8 things about me' memes, and tagging you - and now you can't mention your new bra size.

Hey CB, thanks for that! I do hate breastpads, but I hate worse when they leak too, eeeww wet t-shirt competition in all the wrong ways.

E, they do have nice style, but they're all in black, beige or white (animal print isn't really my thing). What I wouldn't give for a red one!!

Hey Falkayn, thanks for dropping by! Owch, I'm tagged! I'll post soon.
