The 3 I have were all around $20 at Big W. I only wear those 3 & so far they have lasted better than all the others. Considering they are being washed & worn 2 - 3 times a week & have been for 4 1/2 months.
I had to have a giggle at your maternity bras thread being in the nursery planning and baby equipment thread ALthough in hindisght it does make sense!
I have a few cheapish ones from Kmart - they are fine, but I find that sizes don't fit as well as my other ones do and they aren't as comfortable. If I'm haivng a "big" day they just don't cut it. I have a few Berlei ones that are lovely - nice lace but really soft and lovable are my favs. Strongly recommend you go to DJ's or Myer and get fitted properly - I thought I was a D, (4mths pg with Izzy) and I was nearly an E and I'm still in the same size now as I was then, and am glad I went or I would have wasted money on bras I never wore. I have gone through the Blest bras site and bought a few from there when I have had a discount code from a mag.
I also have a couple of Elle McPherson ones with lace on the edge - they are great but not cheap. There is a discount/seconds place on Bridge Rd in Richmond that is worth checking out too.
I would also get a Hot Milk set if I was doing it again - in fact am planning on doing just that in a few weeks time because I want one nice sexy set- alot are pretty standard nana boring bras!
I have had lots with 2 kids and one on the way - lurve Elle MacPherson but at $$$$ end, but are nice and smooth and soft - but also depends on how big your boobies are lovey. If you are bigger I would get ones with good support and someone who fits you for them properly. I like to feel feminine and pretty still even if flopping the ole boobie out all the time - so am inclined to pay a bit more for the frills
Cheap ones are really good if you find you need to wear one ovenight for a while - like me, cos I leaked everywhere all the damn time - and ended up sleeping with a flanny nappy wrapped around my boobs if sleeping without bra and nursing pads - but that is only for the first 2 months PMSL ..... such a turn on for hubby hehehehe ......
.... especially the first time you try to DTD and your body is warm and you experience a let down - changes the mood pretty quickly ... but enough of that
Mmmm you have got me searching now - DH can get me a set for my birthday - he has been asking what I want!!!! Zodee have some good discounts and have lots of the ones we have talked about. You could go check them out at the shops and get fitted, then go home and check them oout online. Zodee have 25% off some HOtMilk stuff.
TBH i hated maternity bras. I had a couple from Bras n things and Myer that were good quality and i was sized so knew they fit and also some from Kmart .I didnt like the fit of the Kmart ones at all, the others were OK but i didnt really like how they sat so high and i had trouble of what to wear over the top that would be easy to BF in etc. I lived in the Bonds Bumps singlets that have the built in bra with the clips just like a maternity bra. I wore them to bed and also under alot of my clothes. Even now i'm no longer BFing but still wear them. Target also had a similar singlet just not the bonds brand and i loved those too.
