No advice but I'm following because I really need new bras!

[sugarkissed]

I've been pregnant, nursing, and pregnant again for the past few years so I really don't know! I've been living in cheap bras that accommodate my constantly fluctuating size!

[paddyb]

I'm like sugarkissed, I have been pregnant and/or nursing for so long I don't even remember what a regular bra is like. I currently wear nursing bras from target.

eTA: oops, just realize I clicked on September '13 and not '14.  Carry on....

I am a ridiculous size now, 38H and my current favourite brand is Panache. I can't walk into a store to buy/try on anything so I have to order online.

I am not brand-loyal with bras and have liked different brands and styles over the years. When I'm not BFing, I typically like underwires, but I have had a few wire-free favorites over the years. I don't like demi-bras though; I'm too busty to pull them off.

Le Mystere is my favorite. I've used Fantasie in the past and have been happy with them as well.

I really need better bras. After nursing my boobs are all kinds of messed up size and I just haven't found anything that fits and feels right yet.

Same here! I always end up buying over priced Victoria Secrer bra's and the wire always pops through. Need to look into other options.

Not even going to lie - I still wear my nursing bras a lot even though we stopped nursing in September!! Hahaha

Besides that I just tend to buy VS bras. I am really flat chested, A cup. so there's not much helping these girls out

Victoria's secret but I'm tired of paying that much for them, even though I usually get them at the semi annual sale. I also have messed up boobs after nursing, an a or small b on one side and a b to small c on the other......

Ugh, no help here either I'm terrible at buying bras and knowing what to get, especially now after nursing. I usually go to Walmart/Target/Sears. They are more my price range and get the job done. Although, I'm sure the job can be done much better . I'm guilty of wearing nursing bras still too, especially when it's nearing laundry day.

ETA : I don't have a favorite brand or style. Just whatever looks nice and has some padding. I'm a B/C cup so there's  usually a good selection.

Jnetx - have you tried T-shirt bras? They are meant to be no show through.
I actually am the opposite of you when it comes to layering- I hate wearing only 1 shirt and wear a cami or tank under everything, so I'm not sure if my bras would show through!
I like varied brands, but often buy Gap Body bras. I got professionally sized once and it made a world of difference being in the correct size bra (though I haven't had it done again after baby and I should).

jnetx Have you recently gone in to be fitted for a bra? Sometimes it is a size issue and sometimes it's the style that's the problem. Nordstrom, VS, and Soma are the places I usually go, even if you don't buy there they can measure you and make suggestions so you have a better idea when you are shopping. Wearing a full coverage or t-shirt bra may do the trick.


I recently got a few new ones now that DD is weaned. I go for comfort and support these days, the ones I got are from VS and Soma. I have very sensitive skin so I can't wear cheaper bras as they cause rashes and irritation. I'm also not a standard size so affordable bras never come in my size. I have to pay $50+ for bras, but they generally last me for years since they are high quality and I take good care if them, so it's well worth the investment.

For nursing bras I LOVED the ones I got from Soma. I tried a few different styles as well as cami's, then finally waited for a sale and bought two from Soma. It was so worth it, I only wish I hadn't waited a couple months before getting them.

I need new bras, too. I hate bra shopping as much as shoe shopping. I either go to Nordstroms or VS. I am flat chested. On a good day it's an A cup.
