Re: Plus size Nursing Bras/Tanks

  • I had good luck at Motherhood Maternity. I recommend getting a sports bra in addition to regular nursing bras. The sports type nursing bra is much more comfortable to sleep in, and if I remember correctly sleeping in a bra was much more comfortable than not sleeping with one.

  • I am a FTM also, but I kind of had to do it on my own.  I went to the Motherhood website under Plus size and picked out the bras needed.  I bought a couple in the size I'm in since I'm 8 1/2 months and not much has changed and then I bought a couple in the next size and cup.  I also bought a couple of the sports bras for night feedings.  I bought a 1x but it didn't work, which I'm glad the rest rest were in 2x.  It sad that I cannot think of my correct bra size, but I believe it is a 42 DDD.

    There are not many choice in color or anything, but I guess we will not be worried about colors at that point in time.

  • I ended up ordering 2 Bravado Tanks from a site called Breakout Bras (breakoutbras.com).  My sister (who is very large breasted) said they are the best (and they run in bigger sizes).  They were $44 and had 10% off plus no shipping/no tax.

  • Thanks, softskate!  I actually have a glamourmom maternity tank.  I like it (and it's definitely supportive) but like you said, it's a little smaller in the band.


    Thanks for the other links!  I'll definitely check them out!
