3rd Trimester

Best nursing bras/tanks? & sizing Q

I'm a D-cup pre-pregnancy and much bigger now! Wondering if you have come across any really great, comfortable and supportive nursing bras for girls with bigger chests? I don't mind spending a little more for 1 or 2 that are really great. Also, should I order the size I currently am, or go up?

Fianlly, anyone with a bigger chest know if Glamourmom tops fit right?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Best nursing bras/tanks? & sizing Q

  • Bravao nursing tanks are the BEST!  they have a full bra in them..not just a shelf bra and you buy your actual size, not just sm, med, or lg...I was also a D cup pre pregnancy and these have been THE BEST!!!

     There is usally a 20% off coupon on retailmenot.com for Bravado Designs :)

  • Oh!  and on the sizing...I didn't order my nursing tanks until a couple of weeks post partum...my breasts have fluctuated quite a bit as my milk supply came in.  I did however get a couple of bras from Bravado to get me by throughout the pregnancy and since they fit a range of sizes (the original nursing bra) I am still able to wear them...Seriously they rock!

    I really really love my Bravado Body Silk bra.  It has a TON of room to grow, cuz I know I will swell at least another size, but it is supportive enough for these heavy things that I don't feel uncomfortable wearing it to work either.  I also have a La Leche League bra that I like, but, it's not quite as comfy as the Bravado.

  • I went to try on some nursing bras this weekend but decided after fitting some on to wait until my milk supply comes in. I instead decided to get this tank

    I like that the straps are convertible, it has light padding so feels more supportive than other tanks I have tried, the length is long and also the material has some spandex in it so it feels like it will be supportive of my postpartum belly. 

    I have heard great things about the bravado brand and will consider getting one of their tanks but again will wait to spend that much money till I can measure and figure out the best sizing option for me.

    I also had a couple of the body silk bras and loved them...and they still fit post partum.

  • As far as bra size PP, a lactation consultant told me that if I wanted to buy a couple right now, to go up 1 size from the size you are in 3rd tri. We'll see if she's right :)
  • I am a DDD pre-pregnancy and a H while nursing.  The Bravado bras are comfortable, but do not provide enough support.  However, I LOVE Anita Nursing Bras!  You can find them at Nordstrom's or online at www.figleaves.com!
