Did you buy a strapless nursing bra or use a regular one and just pull it down?  The bandeau style which would be easiest to pull down apparently doesn't come in my size (36E) so I have to come up with a new idea.

    I don't have a strapless regular bra let alone nursing.  Do people wear strapless so often that this is a need?

    Normally I live in strapless bras all summer because I love tank tops but hate straps showing.  Last summer I just wore nursing tanks instead but 1) I am kind of bored of them at this point and 2) they are quickly wearing out.  Due to my size and because I still leak going bra less isn't an option for me.

    I would think a regular one would work fine. How often are you still nursing? I didn't even know they made strapless nursing bras...

    sounds like what you need is a nursing tank.  the ones from bravado and glamormom come highly recommended by the larger-busted set.  i didn't have success with them because my boobs were still too big, but it's worth a shot for you.

    I've just been using a regular strapless and pulling it down.

    the point of nursing bras is to be able to unhook part of the bra from the strap that offers support so you can "gain access" and nurse. I'd think wearing a strapless bra would accomplish the same thing... what would a strapless nursing bra look like, or are they more like a short tube top looking thing?

    She still eats 6-8 times a day, minimum.  A couple of my nursing tanks are actually tied back together because the straps broke.  I have literally worn them pretty much every day for a year so they got worn out.  I hesitate to buy more since we should be in the end game at this point.

    The strapless nursing bras sort of look like the hands free pump ones.  Amazon has a few but the reviews werent very good.  I think I will just get a regular strapless.  Thanks ladies!

    I just have a regular strapless bra and it a PITA to nurse in. I literally have to just take it off so I don't wear it often. I didn't even know they made strapless nursing bras!

    I rarely need strapless but the few times I have I just pulled the cup down. I used an old one....wayyy too small but am too cheap to go buy a bigger one. lol

    I just use my normal strapless bra, but it doesn't fit that great these days so I only wear something strapless every once in a while. I just pull it down if Clara wants to eat.

    When I started BF & saw the prices of some bras for pumping I decided I wasn't going to pay that. So I hit a bra that I didn't mind sacrificing & I cut holes in the nipple area to put my pump comes through. I'm still using it 11 months later :)
