Bra Vent

KAK ;->KAK ;->
in 2nd Trimester

Grr...I need new bras. Pre-preg I was a 38C, right after BFP I had to get some 38Ds. I'm outgrowing the 38Ds in the cup. 40Ds are too big and I can't find a 38E to try other than at motherhood and their bras are not sized right!!

 

GRRRRR. That's my vent...now to look for more bras. Which brand do you like?

    I'm not very brand loyal when it comes to bras. I usually just go into a store like Kohl's or JCP and grab a ton to try on. I find that sizes very greatly between brands so I just try them on till I find one that fits. I've found that the $50 VS bras don't hold up any better than the $20 store brand bras, so I just stick with the cheaper ones.

    If you can afford it, go to a bra store.  You tell them what you are looking for in a bra, then they custom fit you.  I NEVER had luck shopping for bras I liked until I started shopping at a bra store.  I went to the bra store today to buy a few new ones... I was in and out in 10 minutes.

    I'm about the same size & I buy all my bras at Lane Bryant. They are super comfy and, while they're a bit on the expensive side, they tend to run sales regularly & they last forever.

    Same problem here. If you have a Younkers or other department store that sells Wacoal bras try them, they go up to a G or more I think and they're pretty!

    Sounds like you don't need an E but rather a DD, which are relatively easy to find. Pre-pregnancy I was a 36DD and now am a 36 DDD or 38DD depending on the bra. I am incredibly brand loyal to Vanity Fair but recently got a Wacoal (in DDD). In my younger C-cup days I loved Olga and they go up into the higher than DD sizes. Kohls and JC Pennys both carry VF and Olga and one or the other is usually on sale.

    Thanks ladies - yeah, I think I need to go try on many more...I was trying to stick w/nursing bras but I don't think that's going to happen.

    Maybe I'll try kohls since I'm not sure this is going to be the last that I go up. With DD I was a 40DD when I delivered but after my milk came in and got regulated I went back to a 38D. I really don't want to end up with $300 in bras that I can't wear!!

    Sears, Two Hearts brand (not high-end, but comfy and durable), had 38E nursing bras and nursing sports bras.

    I second Lane Bryant. I started at a 36DD and I've now outgrown their 36 DDD..time to move on to the 38DDD, I guess. They seem to be good quality and aren't terribly expensive.

    Try wacoal bras.  You can get them at Dillards or Macys.  They are wonderful and SO comfortable!
