Let's talk bras

Well it looks like I'm honing to have to bit the bullet and buy new bras. Pre baby I was a 38dd so I was a busty gal before but they are out if control now. Any suggestions on quality, inexpensive bras thst are also comfortable.

    I am with you too! I am pre baby a 32F-G! I am having the hardest time finding a bra. It seems like my only option might be online and I am not a fan of online shopping for bras. I want to be able to try it on and see if I like it. So, if anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them! I am currently in an old bra from when I was heavier in weight and its too big band wise but more comfortable than squeezing the girls in my other bra. I've been getting home and going braless daily now lol! I did get a suggestion of the Bravado Body Silk Seamless Nursing Bra but it's online... Oh the struggles we go through :-)

    Thanks y'all!
  • So all bras are killing me now (that area between my boobs/rib cage is on fire).. I hear it's normal 
  • I'm a 40DDD and got an Elomi nursing bra off of barenecessities.com. They have a lot of options in bigger sizes. I've decided that it is definitely worth it to spend a little more on comfortable, well fitting bras.

  • I was able to find some on ASOS on sale and I love them, I'm wearing one now just because it's more comfortable. I was weary to buy online but it's easier to guess size second baby. I'm normally a 34D I went up to a G while breastfeeding :/ These poor girls are going to need some serious work after a second child! I want to find some just comfy ones for wearing around the house, I had the bandeau type last time around but I was in England, I can't seem to find them anywhere here.
  • Wacoal. I go to Nordstrom where they always have the big sizes in stock, and mine is $48. For a 40H and I need to go up another size AGAIN. I'm looking at bravissimo online for nursing bras.

  • I still wear my Chantelle bras from Nordstrom, but have to use a band extender that I got at Motherhood.

    I can't find any effing bras that fit. I have breasts on the small side(B cup pre pregnancy) but kind of a barrel chest so I need a big band size. I keep trying on bigger and bigger band sizes, but it doesn't help. I have two bras that fit and they're "full coverage" which I certainly don't need. I have to be careful that they don't peek out of my shirts.

    Edited because I hit post too soon.

    I have very large boobs and have found my chest is expanding like crazy. This bra is my new best friend and it stretches with me. SUPER comfy. Pricy, but totally worth it.
