The best maternity bras ii found so far were the 'lovable' ones. They're only plain coloured (tan, pink, black, white, pale blue) but they're comfy as. I still prefer my underwire anyway (i went from a 12E - 14G - god knows what!!! im in either a 20E, 18F or 16HH depending on the brand), but we're supposed to stay away from underwires as they're not good for the milk ducts and can cause mastitis (i think - better check with barb on the definites there).

Bellelass: Totally understand where you're coming from re: suffocation.
