Okay, didn't know how else to say this. My bras are killing me (and I honestly think the tightness of them is seriously contributing to my horrible third-trimester heartburn...) and I want to get some Coobies.
But... do your nipples show?! I'm stressed about this since it's winter and since pregnancy nips are already, well...prominent, at times.
Let me know your experience. TIA!!!

Nope! There are removable pads! I own 4 and have been exclusively wearing them since 2nd trimester probably!

@snowjewelz: YAY! Thanks, girl.
ETA: Are the pads a pain in the you-know-what to keep straight in the wash?

I use the cup/liner things they come with and it hasn't been a problem (and my nipples have been hard as diamonds basically the entire pregnancy lol). If you take the cups out they'll show!
Sometimes I take out the pads to wash, sometimes I forget. Seems ok either way!

@Anya: Thank you!! So good to hear. Can't wait to get out of these underwires. I can't believe I've made it this long.

@mfa_lady: Not really! Sometimes I put them in a mesh bag, sometimes I just let them be. Once in a while one does get "messed up" but there are holes on both sides so I just stick my finger in there and adjust it. Easy peasy!

Can I hijack this thread to ask about these Coobie bras? Are they really that good? What about us with big boobies (size E)?
I hate bras with a passion and I'm willing to try anything to be more comfortable that doesn't make my boobs sag to my belly button.

@snowjewelz: Awesome. 
@Danizaur: Not sure your band size, but it looks like they have what's called "Full Size" for bigger-boobied gals! http://www.shopcoobie.com/shop?c=coobie-bras-full-size (Obvs I can't comment on how great they are because I'm about to buy my first ones, haha.)

@Danizaur: I'm past a DD now and I got the full size. They're def very stretchy

@Danizaur: unless you have a small band size, i'm not sure the full size could comfortably support your chest. i have the full size and i think you'd end up with a smooshed uniboob. my breasts are not as big as yours, i wear a 38D (the fitting ladies disagree and say i should wear a 36, but i find a 38 is more comfortable to me, i hate tight clothing!) and it's fine for under sweatshirts or around the house, but i'm not sure it would be able to offer you a lot of support and the straps are thin and might bother your shoulders. it's def comfy, but i wouldn't call it very supportive if you're carrying a lot of boobage, they're okay with D or maybe even DD, but beyond that i'd imagine you'd want more support to be comfortable. sorry to be a downer

@mrs. bird: Thank you so much!! Bummer but I'm glad to know that. Haha. I hate having so much boobage. I'm hoping when BFing is over that they shrink and shrink and shrink
