So what are you wearing on your boobs these days?

soylatte · October 2013

I'm typically a 32F (all mine) and my cans are swelling to ridiculous proportions. I've read to go right to a nursing bra to avoid unnecessary "in betweener" bra purchases. Anyone in this situation yet? What bras do you love?

KristaU831 · October 2013

I just wear tassels and call it a day. Can't tame these bad girls

spacepotatoes · October 2013

At home, I live in my sports bras. All my regular bras are uncomfortable but I haven't had a chance to buy any new ones yet. Hoping to tomorrow.

I'm reading YOU Having a Baby (a Dr. Oz book) and it recommends not getting underwires so I'm going check out what I can find without that would work. I have been finding my underwires pretty irritating.

Mkurban · October 2013

I need to shop ASAP. My bra runneth over. Wish I knew how big to go. Would like to just wear sports bras from now on.

LOL!

And I heard about the no underwire thing also. I'll check out the book. I worry because I will have to walk around holding them up with my hands without an underwire.

I'm the same size as you and I was before my daughter too. Do not buy nursing bras now. Your boobs will get bigger, and bigger. (At least mine did) Check nordstrom rack for cheap bigger size bras for now, or rock sports bras. I wasted soooo much money last pregnancy on bras that fit for a week.

So I was only partially kidding about tassels

I am usually a 36C and lately I've been rocking the only 38C bra I have hardcore. I'm thinking I need to go bra shopping this weekend.

MrsT2008 · October 2013

sports bra when I'm at home/running errands. I bought a new bra recently for those times I need to wear a real one.

whitehousem · October 2013

I am afraid for you and those around you if you are normally a 32F! Lol those babies are going to be huge! So, I am normally a 34D and during my last pregnancy I had to buy various sizes. Definitely ditch the underwire (and I ONLY wear underwire normally). Shop clearance racks and try them on. Make sure you have adjustable straps so you can hike those girls up (I was pissed when I realized I bought one without adjustable straps!) I bought a nursing bra in a 34 or 36?E near the end of my pregnancy and that thing came nowhere near holding my bursting at the seams with milk boobs. They get ridiculous when your milk comes in. When it's time for a nursing bra, I recommend a few cotton ones that are more like sports bras than defined cups... They are comfortable and will fit better and usually come in S,M,L etc. rather than cup sizes. I found mine at Walmart (I despise that place but I was desperate) and they were super cheap! You could probably get away with these now and be way more comfortable!

perezfcc · October 2013

Nothing! It hurts to put one on more than not wearing one at all. Mine are not nearly as big as yours though.

Storrmys · October 2013

I have a few bras I didn't get rid of from before I lost 60 lbs so I'm using them but at home I'm all uniboob witg sports bras from Walmart all the way ...

bumpuser9353653 · October 2013

With my first pregnancy, I was a 32B pre-preg, but I ended up being a full 34C by the time I was 32 weeks (this is when they suggest it's 'safe" to buy your nursing bras). I was in that all throughout my 14 months of BFing, but now I'm back to my old size. At 10 weeks, there is still no change. I think my daughter sucked everything I had out of me!

hbird0723 · October 2013

I was probably an a at the start of this and I am now almost a c so I noticed one day that my sports bra was really comfortable since the underwire on my other bras were bothering me. I went to target and they had these really soft sports bra type bras by the nursing bras but they weren't called nursing bras. The problem is the largest size is a large and I have recently felt like they are getting too small. So back to the store for me. But for those who are b's those are great comfy bras!

talkthewholetime · October 2013

I'm enjoying a regular bra + a cheapo sports bra since my cup runneth over. It manages to smooth it all over so I'm not falling out of it and it's fairly comfortable. Also, it's cheap. It gives you the comfort of a sports bra....without that floppy uni-boob look. I'm a 36D (well D+ at this point)

lindseylu10 · October 2013

Not going to lie, I bought my first B cup bra this weekend... I'm usually a double A so I'm feeling like a real woman these days, my 16 year old self is like totally jealous!

alm288 · October 2013

I'm still fitting in my bras but the minute I get home, I change an there is NO bra in the mix. I did that however before I was preggo

@lindseylu10 - Congrats enjoy those girls

munsterdani · October 2013

At home I'm strictly in sports bras, I even sleep with one on! When out in public I wear a real bra. I recently went to VS and was refitted. I am up 2 cup sizes so far and not loving it at all! I need to buy some more bras but hate spending the money!

awc1986 · October 2013

I'm a pre-preg 32G and this week I outgrew my maternity bra :-w

I think i'm going to get some kind of special boob Zimmer frame and be done with it.

melissamello · October 2013

The most comfy one I have right now is a Body by Victoria VS bra.. it has underwires, but I still find it super comfy and the straps are nice and thick. Need to get another one soon because my cups are beginning to runneth over

CandaceMarie321 · October 2013

I'm pretty petit--barely a B--but I can be busting out of my C nursing bras in the early days of nursing. Right now my underwire/banded bras are a little snug so I am mostly in sleep bras 24/7.
If you plan on nursing you will need an assortment of sizes as your supply (& demand) decreases whenever you start giving your little one solids, so I would recommend looking for a few comfy nursing bras to wear anytime throughout your pregnancy that you need to go up a size.

MissLadyTay · October 2013

I wore underwire bras last time until 36 weeks or so. Then I switched to nursing and sports bras until I weaned. I can't live without an underwire - I love the support.

Lild09 · October 2013

I asked the sales person at a maternity store what to do since I am a 30DDD starting off and was told to hit up some speciality stores when the time comes ! She was trying to get me to buy a couple bugger sizes before I told her listen lady lol! Even if I go up a band size I wouldn't fit bc they start at 34 and biggest cup is DD. Ugh this is gonna be expensive

but my regular bras are kind of expensive too considering I already shop specialty hope this info helps for my fellow errr fuller ladies! Lol

d.sbrook10 · October 2013

Target recently had nursing bras on clearance (I paid like $6 each!) and I bought a full size bigger. I'm already wearing them and know I will just need to buy new ones once the baby is here. My H loves my porn boobs, although he gets nothing to do with them as they hurt too bad when the milk comes in. Cue the violen for him.

spacepotatoes · October 2013

Well, bra shopping was a FAIL this morning. I was hungry so I grabbed lunch at the mall food court first. Nearly threw up about a third of the way into it so that was the end of that. Tried on two bras at Target, neither fit, and I gave up. Now I'm back home, still hungry, tired, and in need of a comfortable bra.

Hope you ladies have better luck!

Oh noooooo! Sorry that happened. I'm going today, hope I have better luck.

Xashxbellx · October 2013

I'm with Lindsey! My slightly growing chest is making my inner flat chested high school girl ecstatic! I'm still wearing my regular bra but for the first time in my life I had to adjust the straps and not use the smallest clasps! Hooray for boobs! Even if they came later in life, I've finally got some!

honey740 · October 2013

my nursing bra from last time is the only thing fitting right now which means I will need a new nursing bra. Fun.

Laura_Elaine · October 2013

I've been nursing and/or pregnant for years... still nursing now, so nursing bras for me for now! DD2 turns 1 the day before Thanksgiving, and hopefully I'll be done nursing around then.
Just be careful if you buy nursing bras right now... my doc, way back when, recommended waiting til around 36 weeks... breasts may swell/go down, and will actually swell even more after baby is born (wonderful engorgement), although I didn't have engorgement until baby #3, many women have engorgement with #1.
I was a 34 DDD pre-pregnancy (4 years ago), all mine as well, and am now a 36 H, 3 kids later. My only frustration is no underwire when you get to the bigger cup sizes... I really prefer underwire, but can't find them in my size anywhere!

honey740 · October 2013

@laura_Elaine I have an Elomi nursing bra from Bare Necessities. It's an underwire. Worth every single penny

That+One+Girl · October 2013

I am rocking the sports bra, even to work. The girls are so big that if I adjust them right it looks fine.
