Comfortable bra suggestion?

CynRO12

Hi all, is there a particular store or brand of bra that you found comfortable? I just bought a new one and I'm about to cut it off due to the sides digging into my skin.
I guess same question for underwear. I tried high waisted but they seem to leave marks in my growing belly. The shorter ones don't seem to stay up either. Suggestions?

VS bikinis and Lacies worked well for me. Bras are tricky. I did like the ones from Motherhood Maternity but I also got some cheapies from the local Hanes outlet that were okay. Sizing was too variable for me to invest in a really good one till after my milk supply stabilized.

I like the bikini underwear from Motherhood. They stay up fine and don't put pressure on my bump. I just bought a bra there too but have only worn it 1 day, so far so good.

I'd go somewhere to get remeasured for the bra first (even if you don't end up buying there). Your size would effect what bras you could get... but underwire during pregnancy always made me supremely uncomfortable. Last pregnancy, I ordered a couple bras online partway through in a brand I liked because I couldn't get to my bra shop (it's an hour and a half away but on the way to my parents' house. I have a weird size so going to either Motherhood or VS is just asking to be lied to for me). At that time, the bands still fit on the old bras but cups were too small so I went off of that. This time around, I'm 28 weeks and wearing some of the nursing bras I had with DD. If you have a lot of time left, maybe just get one or two for now and wear them to death. Your size will probably change again. Nursing bras usually have good support and tend to be comfy, but they also come up a lot higher, so they make the necklines of many shirts very tricky.

I'm liking this one so far (and I like that it is also a nursing bra):

Thank you for your replies ladies. I went out and purchased one from motherhood, and love it! Very comfortable and it has a racer back so my straps stay in place.
