Hi girls,
I'm wondering if anyone can recommend any reasonably priced feeding singlets, tops and bras for a large bust size?
I am normally an 14F cup, i'm only 6 weeks pregnant and already busting out of my bras, to the point where I am getting welts from my current bras :shakehead:
I've looked in Target/Kmart etc but the bonds feeding sinlets only go up to a DD cup so they are no good :(

I found Triumph is good for bras, not sure what size they go to but I have mine in an E cup and I think they go higher. Reasonably priced if you get them on special and last really well. Downside is they're not really pretty.
The only feeding singlet I've found is a glamour mom one from Room for 2 in Subi that has a built in bra that's really comfy but I wouldn't say they're reasonably priced at $70 for one singlet. I use it for putting underneath normal tops so I can just lift up and feed without my back/side getting cold.
I love 'pretty looks' maternity singlets, they are in best and less. Not sure what size they go up to though but I'm pretty sure I saw size 16.. I'm only a 12DD cup these days, so I just bought a size 12.
I was a 16G by time I had DS1, I found 1 hot milk that fitted well and other than that was Triumph was about all I could (and even now) find that fit and offer support.
I had 2 glamour mum singlets which were ok but I didn't love them. They are $$ unless you get them on sale (which I did)
The triumph ones were the only ones I could find as well. Check carefully - there were a couple of styles that were much less stretchy than the others, and they were really uncomfortable.
One advantage of maternity bras is that the fabric is stretchier than other bra fabric - so you might want to grab a couple now, even though you will grow out of them soon (and probably shrink back into them after a few months of feeding).
I get all my bras from the Bendon outlet at DFO. I'm a 12GG. I've been able to get bras for $20! :o Another place to go is Mothers Direct (through the Australian Breastfeeding Assoc), they have a good range, and people who know what they're doing. Worth getting fitted and getting all the information.
Re feeding singlets, I can still wear Target ones, but have to wear a bra. I wear them to sleep though, they keep the breast pads in place :)
I agree with Kmn, get some now, you'll wear them at the other end (and you may find you're not going to get that much bigger). Always make sure they don't "just" fit, have room for a breast pad.
