what do you do about lactating?

So I came out of the movie theater Saturday with 2 wet rings on my shirt.  Really embarrassing considering I don't even look pregnant yet!  Luckily it dried fast!  But is there any special bras with like extra padding (don't know if nursing bras have any - didn't really want to look into buying those since my regular bras fit fine and I may just get bigger).  Or other tricks out there?  My current bras already have a padding so I don't know what to do.

    All of my bras are from Victoria's Secret and they have enough padding/layers (they aren't actual padded bras) that they don't leak through to my shirt. Instead of buying new bras right now, you could buy nursing pads and put those in your bra. They have disposable ones and reuseable ones that you put in the washer. Hope that helps.

    Even with nursing bras you wear nursing pads inside.

    Pick up some nursing pads and you'll be covered.

    Try a couple of different nursing pads to see which are the most comfortable. Here's what I have tried:

    Lansinoh disposables - thin, absorbent, bigger than others

    Johnson's disposable - thicker, softer than lansinoh, and smaller

    Bravado washable/reuse - kind of soft terry on one side, mesh on the other. I preferred disposables though, I liked that the sticker on the back kept them in place.

    Medela reuse - I liked these the least, I didn't think they washed well, or "breathe well" (they weren't very moisture wicking).

    My bras have enough padding that it gets absorbed, however I have started to wear the little pads you can put in them.

    I don't want to keep washing my bras every day!

    I bought a pack of 60 (gerber brand) at Target for $5?
