Pumping Bra Support

I go back to work in three weeks, and am considering a pumping bra, or even just altering a sports bra. However, I'm afraid that either option won't be supportive enough or will create a uni-boob. I'm a 36DD at the moment, so not really huge, but... well... let's just say the girls sing "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" unless I'm engorged, and I prefer some structure to my underclothes.

How do pumping bras support when you aren't actively pumping?

    Pumping bras are worn while pumping. They aren't an everyday support kind of bra. They only serve one purpose- to help you pump.

    So do you change back into a regular bra?

    I wore a nursing bra and unclipped it to pump and put the simple wishes pumping bra on top. It worked well.

    I have the medela brand hands free thing.  It zips up the front, so I just wear my nursing bra, then when it's time, unhook both sides and zip on the pumping bra over it.  Only wear it when pumping.

    I have a Glamourmoms tank - its supposed to be a pumping tank that can also be worn as a regular nursing tank. Its not supportive enough in my opinion. I also have a DairyFairy - its expensive but serves the purpose of both nursing and pumping bra. I dont have to change back and forth. I bought the black and only wish I had bought nude as I literally will wear this every day.
