32E/32F maternity bras?

kjknight07 · January 2015

Where is the best place to get a maternity bra that sells size 32E or 32F with underwire? I currently wear a 32DDD, but they are getting bigger.

I was able to get them through size G at Motherhood when I was pregnant with my first.

I got mine at motherhood too. Plus I bought the bra extenders too.

Specialty shop might be the way to go. Also, with my last pregnancy I converted some of my regular Freya bras to nursing bras. You can order the clips online and it requires a little bit of cutting and sewing but it worked great for me. I just googled it and found a few tutorials. I also had, yes that's right.... Had larger breasts.

Soma has a great line of maternity and regular bras and I think they go up that high in cup size. I love their regular bras.

@econmama‌ thank you for the suggestion. I looked on bravado's website. I only see one bra with underwire and they don't sell any sizes with a 32 band. This is my problem. I have a small band size, but big cup size.

I checked at the Motherhood store here in town, but they didn't have anything in my size. I also looked online and I only see size 34 and up for bras with underwire.

Thanks everyone for other suggestions.

@kcebeling‌ Thank you for referring me to the other thread. I saw this; however, I am having a different problem than this woman. I do not just need bigger bra sizes. I specifically need size 32E -32F. I have been able to find plenty of places that sell bigger sizes, but not with a 32 band size.

I got all of mine at Notdstrom and used bra extenders. I never had any luck at Motherhood or Soma

32 H here...I feel your pain. Motherhood maternity has a pretty nice selection of bra's up to G cup, and they're all nursing bras so you can continue to use them after you deliver. They also have nice sleep bras and sports bras as well.

@cjollyrn‌ Did you get bras with underwire? I don't see size 32 for the bra with underwire on the motherhood maternity website. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough? I need a bra with underwire though because when I have tried bras without, they always ride up on me and they are so uncomfortable. Even my sports bras have underwire.

I bought a sleep bra from motherhood maternity without underwire, but they only sold it in sizes s/m/l. I got small so the band would fit, but it was so uncomfortable to sleep in. I kept readjusting it to cover my chest, etc. I have just been sleeping without a bra.

OP your ribs might expand in size due to the growing belly; might be worth buying a size up

I had this issue my first pregnancy, and never found a great solution. There are a few specialty stores online that you can order from. I am quite short and have to tighten the straps pretty far, so I found that they were made with such full coverage that the cup went too far into my armpit and spanned across to my collar bone. It was uncomfortable, and showed out the top of almost all shirts. No win situation

I too am normally a 32/DDD. Honestly though buying a 34 E/F worked fine towards the end of my pregnancy and most of the first year I nursed DD. Your ribs will expand a bit. Around 6 months post baby I noticed it was a bit loose on my ribs but with full blown milk boobs the band didn't have a chance of riding up. Mine were all Bravado and they sell an underwire version.

cjollyrn · January 2015

@kjknight07‌ I can't really remember which ones I tried on at the store...I thought they had underwire. I actually ended up going to a lactation consultant who also sells nursing bras and got a couple there. One with underwire and one without. Will probably end up getting another one before the end of the pregnancy, but at least I didn't have to shell out $60 for these
