Hellobee Boards

I wore Coobie bras while I was pregnant. They are super comfortable and even have full-figured sizes for well-endowed women. For nursing, I can't say enough good things about my Soma nursing bra. I'm still wearing it daily at 16 months pp.

Following, because I'm definitely the same boat.

I started with a Bravado Silk Seamless while I was pregnant, but never liked it. Once I was nursing, I tried on every possible nursing bra I could get my hands on. My requirements were:
* wireless (I get plugged ducts ALL the time)
* thicker (after pumping, my nipples will show through anything)
* actual structured cups, not a s/m/l style stretchy bra
* available in a 32E (or 34DD if I had to....)

Turns out, this combo is much harder to find than I would have imagined! I finally fell in love with Soma:

Have a bunch of the bravado body silk and loooove them. Pre-preg I was a 32DD and struggled to find a bra without wires (they killed around 25 weeks on) that still gave me good support and shape. I'm 5 months pp and only giving them up now...and I stopped nursing at 1 month!
For reference, I got the L and it fit well, maybe a tad too roomy, during pregnancy and right after. Not as much now since I'm a bit deflated, which is why I'm finally retiring them.

@simplyfelicity: sorry I'm only seeing this now, the notification email went to my junk!
I had the same worry about being floppy and just generally looking like I wasn't wearing a bra. Like @Foodnerd81:, I wish I had found them during pregnancy! I wore sports bras at first but around 26-28 weeks I couldn't wear them anymore, they squeezed my ribcage. So I started wearing coobies. I HATED the way they made me look. But they were the only think I could bear to wear. The Bravados would have been perfect during pregnancy, I think!

The Bravado silk seamless were my favorite. I still have a few in rotation from my nursing days! I did not like the Bravado Bliss at all - never fit me right. The essential embrace looks really great - I am going to give those a go this time because I want a little more 'shape'

Bravado silk seamless are my favorite, I have a Motherhood one on today due to the others being wet still in laundry, and it's awful. I look like I have quad boob...not a good look.

I think i tried about 15 nursing bras, and found that i liked bravado silk the best for comfort purposes during the day, and lamaze for sleeping. I had the most trouble with sleep bras - i hate wearing one around the house and to sleep and i needed to feel like i wasn't wearing one, and a lot of the sleep bras felt like sports bras. The lamaze one had a lot of give and the material was extremely soft so it was the most tolerable of the bunch. Runner ups were the gillian o'malley (i think) ones from target.

But mostly, i lived in my nursing tanks from target (http://www.target.com/p/women-s-nursing-henley-cami-gilligan-o-malley/-/A-13957172#prodSlot=_1_24) i actually wore this EVERY SINGLE DAY - i had a couple. Also the first two months i hardly left the house so i would just lounge around every day in this. all the time.
