    I long since gave up on finding decent breastfeeding clothes if you have 'epic' boobies

    I took to wearing high waisted jeans (holds the tummy in too) and a a normal length top 1 size too big (ie, big enough for the boobs and 3 sizes too big for the rest of you) and a shirt/cardigan/jacket over the top. By the time you lift the ordinary top and still have the front-opening top there but half open, there's no skin for anyone to see.

    Works best in cold climates though. Funny thing is, I know I breastfed all summer but I can't for the life of me think what I was wearing, I suspect I was living in loose tshirts and just lifting them up. I did get my mother to make me some tshirts with a wrap front, and I had a breastfeeding top for 'special' that was empire line with quite a tight underbust elastic thing so it looked half decent.

    Considering how many people get mammoth boobies, I'm surprised there's so little good stuff out there to wear. I guess people in this country don't breastfeed long enough to make it a big enough market.

    Just to clarify, your wanting singlets without a shelf bra? Do you mean like spaghetti strap singlets or thicker straps? And how did they unclip? like a maternity bra or have like a flap that goes over the boob from underneath, and one that goes from above that you can separate? (ITMS? lol)
    I'm a 16H so I feel your pain MASSIVELY! I'm sick of trying to find nice BF tops and clothes and when I do theyre like $40-$50-$60+ for one top!!

    Seriously considering making my own business and making my own BF tops for mums :/

    Given the size of the market (as in, small), if you could run an Etsy store with a couple of pre-made ones in each size and an option to supply your measurements, you'd be doing your bit to help big-boobed women around the world!

    Its even worse if you are small with big boobs. I was a 10G and really the best you can do is buy size 12-14 clothes even though the rest of you is a size 8. God that makes you look fat when you dress like that

    That sucks rumpled elf! What's an etsy store? Lol
    I was thinking of doing a FB type thing. I have no idea lol. Not only for the big boobied mummas, but also for normal mums too. Though the big boobs are my main focus cuz I am one and I'm sick of paying so much for clothes! Lol..

    Etsy is one of those communal shop sites (sort of like ebay) but for handmade (as opposed to mass-produced) things, you set up your own store and off you go. Amazing variety of things you can buy on there.

    The world needs more nice breastfeeding clothes!

    Hope, you made me laugh. I was a 12DD and 12D when searching for bf-ing clothing, and i often found tops that were closer to the $100 mark! so when i found ones (that actually worked) for under 50, (like Nuvo Maternity) i was rapt. (and that was STILL alot of money, for one top, for me to fork out for).

    As someone above wrote, there are many bf-ing mums with bigger bra sizes, so i do think there is an untapped market size wise.
