Do you wear an underwire bra?

If so, do you have any problems with plugged ducts?  I have had a few plugs since I started BFing and I can't seem to find a bra I like that isn't underwire.  I'm just concerned that if I get an underwire bra it will cause me problems.

Re: Do you wear an underwire bra?

  • Yep, all the time.  I've never had plugged ducts.  I'd probably rethink and wear an underwire-free bra if I already had problems with plugged ducts, though.

  • I do and I much prefer it to the non-underwire nursing bras that I have.  I haven't had any issues w/ plugged ducts.  Just be sure it fits correctly and you should be fine.  The wires on the side should sit behind your breast tissue on your rib cage.  I got professionally fitted at Nordstroms.  They only have a few in stock but they have a bunch online.  Good luck.

  • I've worn one during the day since coming home from the hospital...no plugged ducts so far (knock on wood)

    I do have a pretty nice soft cup bra that I sleep in.  It's by 'Elle Macpherson Maternity'  ran me about $55 but well worth the money.

  • Ditto the PP. I have to wear an underwire and I haven't had clogged ducts ever. Just depends on the person and the bra. Good luck finding one!
