Maternity Bras - BIG whinge!

[SareBear]

I know exactly what you mean! I'm a similar size to you and although there are a few options online, I'm hesitant to buy anything without trying it on. I always have to try on so many to find one that fits so I have put it off.

I'd love to hear if you have any luck, and if anyone has any suggestions on where to go shopping I'd love some advice too!

Good luck!

It might be worth checking out Mothers Direct online, ABA's shop. They have a pretty good range that go up to large cup sizes. I have a few larger busted friends who have found what they have been looking for there.

bronners - i can't believe i forgot about ABA! they're just round the corner from me!!

sarebear - if you're in melb, then the ABA have a retail shop in east malvern if that's anywhere near you. i haven't been in yet but now that bronners has reminded me, i'm going to pop in and see what they have.

I'm a DD and was petrified about 'support' when going from underwire bras to maternity bras a couple of years ago.. but agree... it's something you end up getting use to (eventually) and much more comfortable.

I swear by the Loveable brand. They are sold in Myer, David Jones, BNT or on their website. I found out of all the maternity bras I bought/tried, they offered me the best support. There is a bit of a range though.. the website only has 2 different kinds, Myer's the same, BNT only 1 style of theirs.. and David Jones had about 5 different Loveable bra styles the other day. My favourites are the basic one and the one with a tiny bit of padding.. I think its the Loveable T-shirt Yummy Mummy one? (don't get scared by the 'little bit of padding'.. def worth a try on!) I tried the lacy ones on at David Jones the other day (Loveable brand) I had never seen them anywhere else before.. however found they didnt offer as much support.

HTH!

Go to BRAS AND THINGS (BNT). I had them and they were terrific, expensive though but well worth it! I think the brand is called "Lovable".

Thanks Sloane, I'll definitely check out the ABA store, I just looked at the online store and it looks fab!

Try Triumph - I went up to a 16H, and they were the only brand I could get for that size. Very very fugly, but still, supportive enough...

(tell a lie, also went to some big girls lingerie shop, and they had bigger sizes, but the cups dropped really stupidly, and couldn't do it up again with one hand, so only wore it a couple of times)
