    Maternity Bras

    Hi girls,
    Needing some opinions to what your favourite maternity bra is.
    I am only 6 weeks into my pregnancy and feel like I need to be wearing maternity bras (or just better bras!)- my breasts are so heavy and sore. I literally have to carry them in my hands if I am not wearing a bra. The bras I am wearing now are just not doing any justice for my boobs! LOL!

    I am looking at bidding on some Bonds ones on Ebay.

    Thanks

    I was limited in my options as before my pregnancy I was already a 16E, and nice, reasonably priced bras are hard to find in maternity. Normally I favour Berlei Barely There, the closest I've found is Lovable Suddenly Shapely (I like a little padding for nipple modesty!), so far super comfy. I'm now almost 25 weeks and still loving them. Found them on sale at Myer too, only $29 each.

    I recently found some at Mothercare and they were great 2 in a pack for $37 softer than the triumph ones I have had.

    I ended up with five hotmilk bras after trying a heap of brands from the kmart cheapies right up.....hotmilk was the best for me and still look like a decent sexy sort of bra to boot which is a bonus!

    I own about 7 hotmilk bras that I have bought over 2 pregnancies. They are sooooo comfortable that I happily wore them in the months between stopping breastfeeding and getting pregnant again

    I had most of the hotmilk collection that I wore over three pregnancies and during breastfeeding. They are still in great condition I an guilty of still wearing them on the odd occasion now!

    Hot Milk here too, mostly because they have them up to a G/H cup where most other brands don't.

    I also like the Maternelle ones that looked sort of like a crop top. I got them early when I was still an E cup and found they stretched with me and were really great and supportive when my milk came in and I just wanted my boobs to not move at all. They come up highish though so no good with plunging necklines.

    I also got a couple of wirefree bras at Target which won't be good once I am feeding but have been great during pg. Look quite grannyish but were a really nice shape.

    There are heaps of new bras on ebay, so if you try some on in the stores you can then have a look online and get them much cheaper.

    So supportive. I'm an F cup and I find them to be the most supportive bras which is great because I too hate the droop

    Bonds are my favourite - but I am only a 10C so not as limited as a lady in a bigger cup size. However I am fussy and only like the non-padded ones, just plain soft cotton cups.
