    Hi all, how is everyone going? I was just wondering... is there ANYWHERE I can get cheap feeding singlets? I have looked in Kmart and Target so far but their singlets don't go past a 16DD! I need at least an 18 just for starters, and I'm looking online but I really, really don't want to spend more than $30 per singlet plus postage! We're really tight on money at the moment but I wanted to wear these in hospital instead of button up nighties and I figure I'll pretty much live in them at home.

    it's just so disillusioning

    Yarrawin, if you have a Trade Secret near you, the sell some really nice, cheap and good quality ones, though I can't remember the exact price . They only usually have a few colours, I have purple and pink ones, thye come in a two pack and one is just plain, the other is stripey (white/pink and white/purple). They have magnetic clasps too. Not sure if Trade Secret is in Melbourne....? Sizes go up to at least 18 cause I remember wondering if I should get 16 or 18...I got 16's and they fit me really well with a little growing room for the booby's!

    Just googled and I don't think Trade Secret is in Melbourne. I will have to go and check out what brand my singlets are. Will let you know, maybe you can get them else where...?

    Ahurani - No, Big W is for another day... started getting quite a bit of pain when I was out so I thought it best to head home! Am thinking a quick peek at Big W is for tomorrow but given that i don't fit into anything else there now I don't hold out much hope.

    Lilias - Thanks but ARGH!!! No Trade Secret in VIC. Poo If all else fails I'll just fork out for the loveable ones but if I can find something cheaper I'll def go for it

    Yarrawin, I didn't even know you could buy singlets that had a cup size. Can you get them in FF? Where were you looking at them online?

    The ones in target and kmart are by cup size but I haven't seen any online. However I've seen posts on other forums that have come up in my googling from size 22 women who are comfy in a size 18 Loveable Yummy Mummy Cami...

    Jaki - Thanks for the tip on the ebay wording... I will take another look without typing in the size!

    I'm looking for plain black leggings, I have a HUGE buttom and my size 24 pants are getting tight and painful over my belly and I can't find ANYTHING suitable at the moment

    Yarra, just came back to let you know that the ones I have are the loveable ones, but they were nowehre near $30 each. I'm pretty sure I only paid $30 for the two of them. But in saying that they are really good singlets. Have you looked at the Bonds ones? I don't know what size they go to but I had a couple when I had DD and they were pretty good too. Otherwise, when I had DS, I would just wear normal spaghetti strapped singlets (from target/bigw/kmart) and pull it down over my boobs. It stretched out the elastic eventually and I was always on the lookout for singlets when they were on sale, but it was better than spending so much on others. I actually still have a few from when I had DS, and I would only wear them at home, or with another top over them when out. (If you plan on bfing, which I assume you are!!) I wouldn't have to wear bfing tops when out either, I would lift the shirt on top over my boobs and then pull the singlet under my boob and DS could feed. I don't think I ever owned an actual bfing top. You will need a fair few (at the moment I have about 7 and would like to get some more!), especially in the early months when you leak and have booby juice or baby vomit going everywhere!! I would often change about 3-4 times a day.
