Every bra hurts....:-/

Asantusa1 · February 2014

Is anyone else struggling with bras? I obviously have grown and my old bras were uncomfortable. I went out and purchased 3 new ones that are bigger. The underwire hurts in everyone!! Anyone has recommendations on bras? Should I get no underwire? I think I should maybe look into nursing bras and recommendations?

I just bought a few sports bra style nursing bras made by Motherhood Maternity. I liked that they do not have underwire and can adjust with me as I continue to grow. My bras were getting really uncomfortable and I know I am still going to grow. They had a buy one get one 50% off too at Buy Buy Baby.

Try a wireless bra. If you're bigger chested bravado has some with great support.

I switched to a nursing tank early on with DD and this one. No wire and no band around my expanding belly. I think I must carry high to have this problem but I can't stand a bra band when I'm pregnant. A nursing tank was the only solution I found after trying on every other bra in motherhood!

I bought an Elita camisole bra and it did the trick! My other bras aren't even tight, but it's really the underwire that makes it unbearable for me.

My vote would be to go to a store and get fitted by a professional. I wore the wrong size for 24 weeks. I got fitted, and got good bras, and I'm much more comfortable. They were expensive, but worth it.

Thanks ladies. I'm nervous to wear a sports bra to work it. Business formal dress so I'm trying to stay professional but comfortable. Do you think A sports bra is ok for work?

Get a pack of Genie Bra's. Seriously. They changed my life this pregnancy after a friend recommended them. I got a 2 pack from Bed Bath and Beyond and they were about $25 and then I used my 20% off coupon. I've heard some Target's carry them too. No wire, decent support, good nip coverage

I am reminded how amazing they are on that odd occasion I wear a top that requires a "regular" bra. I literally wear them almost every day. (I bought a second pack). I carry really high so regular bras start begin uncomfortable really early in my pregnancy.

It sounds like you're wearing the wrong size. I would go to somewhere like Intimacy or Nordstrom and get professionally fitted. I got fitted when I was pregnant with DD at a 38B. After she was born I got some nursing bras, first in 38B then 36C when I lost some weight. Last bra I bought on my own just before I got pregnant again was a 36C. It was super uncomfortable and dug into my chest. I went to intimacy to get fitted a week later and it turns out I was 32E. My bra is super comfy now, and it's an underwire.

I second Genie bra, and I have a large chest. They do not make my rack look nearly as nice as a Victoria's Secret bra, but no way am I paying $50 when I'm sure I'll just keep growing. And they are so comfy I could really care less. I got a 2 pack for $20, then ordered another 2 later.

I had to give up the underwire bras in my 1st tri. They were just too uncomfortable. If all else fails...don't wear a bra. I've found myself doing that lately if I'm dressing in layers i.e.couple of tanks with a button up maternity shirt, and/or cardigan or sweater. It's just way more comfy for me, but to each its own. Hope you find something that works for you.

I started wearing a Jockey brand in my first trimester. It's wireless and kinda a "bralette" style. I got it from kohls but I can't seem to find the link. They come is sizes S-XL though so ya.. you gotta try them on but they are very stretchy and supportive. I do have smaller boobs though but I've grown into a c cup since then.

I've also seen the same type of bras in nursing bra style so I'll probably buy a few of those when the time comes.

I've been having the same problem. I got fitted at Victorias Secret but still uncomfortable. I always wear a strapless bra, mainly under tanks as a base layer- I'm small chested! They used to make a seamless strapless bra but so far I haven't been able to track one down. Anyone know any non- underwire but still padded strapless bras?? Help!
