nursing bras for extra large breasts

ktrnmillerktrnmiller
in January 2013 Moms
I am having trouble finding a good bra that fits well. I have very large breasts, 38DDD, & I am hoping that someone could give me some good recommendations for a place to get a great bra or a bra that they really like. I have tried on so many & to find one that actually fits is so hard. Other large boobed moms please help!

    you have to go to specialty shops. Nordstrom is great if you have one locally, otherwise look for a lingerie shop (not VS etc)

     

    Im a 34G

    I would really wait until after baby is born.  I bought a few while pregnant and after DD was born, my boobs grew again once the milk came in.

    I did get mine at Motherhood Maternity and they had size E.

    I just bought a great one yesterday, not only does it come in a 38f, it's cute. The brand is Le Mystere, model sexy mama nursing bra. I got it at Harrods in London, but I'm sure it's available online.

    Cacique (owned by Lane Bryant) carries extended sizes and they have nursing bras.  I'm a 38DD and I love their bras.  I have no experience with their nursing bras specifically, but I do know they carry them.

    Im reading that the OP needs a regular bra right now - my breasts went insane around this point last time and I needed new bras immediately lol. 

     

    If you are just shopping for a nursing bra just because, then definitely wait. But certain sizes are hard to find even in reg bras (and I mistyped earlier, Im a 32G which is really really hard to find and I have like 2 choices anywhere in the world for nursing!)

    I am not necessarily just looking for a nursing bra but any bra that fits well with support & wires that dont go into my armpits. I dont want to buy a bra from any website as I wont know if its going to fit. So store suggestions are helpful. Thanks everyone

    I've had great luck with Bravado bras.  Not the sexiest, but very comfy and supportive.  Usually only carried at specialty retailers, but once you find sizes/styles you like you can get them easily online.

    Currently, I'm a 34 G. My boobs are going crazy again so I'm on the bra hunt too!

    OK, last time I used Bravado's Original M ++ bra (38 DD/G). Those are great for sleeping. The sizing is very flexible as you can see.  https://www.bravadodesigns.com/

    The other ones I used was some bras from Motherwear.  www.motherwear.com 

    I used the Great Support Bra - it's a super supportive non-underwire bra and it goes up to a J cup. I used that for the first 6 weeks. (https://www.motherwear.com/prod.cfm/cid/52/sid/6270)  

    Then I switched to a nursing underwire bra. The only other thing I suggest is try to find cheap nursing tops in Gap/ON/Target because you need to see if the opening will work with your bustiness! 

    Bravissimo also carries nursing bras that are more pretty. https://www.bravissimo.com/products/lingerie/nursing-bras/#/1?show=16&sort=1

    If you go to a specialty lingerie place; you'll find the brands that Bravissimo sells like Panache. But try to find a local store because the prices can be lower than Nordstrom. 

    Good luck!

    Duh. Just saw that the TITLE was "nursing bras."  Can I claim mommy/pregnancy brain on that one? ;)
