Maternity bras...?

[Beach Mama]

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.

I have a couple of the Lovable ones, and have been wearing them heaps too under clothes even though we stopped feeding at 11 mths. I am still on the Zodee site - DH will be home soon and I want him to help me choose my birthday pressie! There is a gorgeous Elle one called La Mere but Im worried the thin straps will hurties. Sorry to hijack Belfie my love!

i experienced breast pain from about 8 weeks preg (with my first baby even) and got fitted (in between M/s bouts) for the Triumph maternity bra - not much change out of $60. i tried EVERY maternity bra on that Myers had, and despite me not liking the nana look of the Triumph, as i was a D cup, that was the one that suited my body and was the most comfortable to wear.

i got Lovable "Yummy Mummy" drop down cup camisoles for wearing to bed.

Mommy's Touch breastpads with waterproof backing, stopped me leaking, cos i leaked like a tap for the first eight months.

When my bub was about a year old, my bra size went down, and i no longer needed the Triumph support, so now i'm in Lovable maternity bras ($40 at bras n things), which are less supportive, lower in the cleavage, all cotton.

Having to wear a maternity bra, that i didn't like the look of, for so long, made me find out exactly how much my dh loves me - he was able to look PAST the bra, and just see me and the wonderful BF-ing relationship me and my DD have been able to have (not easy, but we got there).

If i was smaller than a D cup (in pregnancy and after) i suspect i could have gotten away with the cheaper maternity bras, e/g Target etc. I also feel very nervous buying ANY bra unless i'm fitted for it - am so clueless and get teh wrong size.

Also, i washed my maternity bras and cloth breastpads DAILY, and having the divided zippered washbag, so they were protected in the wash, and didn't get lost, was very handy. $10 at spotlight.
