I hate wearing bras and since I work from home, I usually don't wear one! But that also means when I do, I find them super duper uncomfortable.
What are the most comfortable bras you've come across?
-
I like VS cotton bras from the Pink line.
-
Coobie bras are really comfortable. I was hesitant to try one because I'm picky about the shape a bra gives me and thought it would be more like a sports bra, but it's not like that at all. They are pretty cheap on Amazon so you don't lose too much if you try one and don't like it.
-
I own six coobie bras. I tried to go back to regular bras but I can't!!
-
I agree with @Mrs. Pickle and @mrs. wagon, coobie are the best! I own 4-5 and don't know that I will ever go back to a more structured bra!
-
Another vote for coobie. If you are larger busted, the bravado is great. Super comfy but gives good shape.
-
on Gossamer
-
@Mrs. Pickle: @mrs.wagon: @bushelandapeck: @simplyfelicity: Can I be super nebby and ask if you ladies are smaller or larger busted? I'm interested in the Coobie but worried it won't support me enough (I'm currently a 36D).
-
@ms.line: I'm a 36C. Not sure how supportive it would be for larger.
-
@ms.line: I'm a 36 F and I use the full size.. it's perfect! I wouldn't go running in it
but plenty supportive for everyday.
-
@ms.line: I'm a 34D right now and I have the standard size. It's definitely supportive enough! I even wear it strapless sometimes.
-
@mrs. wagon: I am large breasted so I prefer the bravado.
-
@bushelandapeck: @mrs.wagon: @mrs.pickle: Great, thanks! I think I'll give the Coobie a shot!
@simplyfelicity: I'll look into the Bravado, too - thanks!
-
I can't wait to go back to my Coobies too once I'm done with BF!
-
@snowjewelz: Coobie just came out with a nursing bra!!
-
@snowjewelz: I wear my coobies for nursing! I just pull it up on the side I'm nursing on.
-
@mfa_lady: Whaat!! Ugh. I'm almost done tho...
-
@snowjewelz: I knowwwwww. I will definitely be buying those for #2. Ha! Even though that's in the undetermined future, since LO is only almost 7 months old. I was just telling my SIL about Coobies--she's due in Feb--and about how jealous I am that they made a nursing bra after I bought mine.
-
I know I am in the minority, I find that I need an underwire bra to feel comfortable.
I like Maidenform and Soma.
-
@mfa_lady: I just realized I lent a Coobie to a pregnant friend to try out.. I better get it back if she doesn't like it! What do you use now? I have the bavardo coobie-like ones from Target
@Pancakes: Haha, I guess you can! Maybe I should try!
-
@snowjewelz: I don't have any nursing bras that I love! The best one is this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003P2VHRU?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00
Because it's pretty and it fits well. But it's not the most super duper comfy thing ever. Honestly, whenever I can get away with it on the weekends (I mostly pump during the week b/c of work) I just wear nursing tanks under everything. So much easier--but not great-looking or that supportive.
-
I have begun wearing sports bras more often than not. I like the ones from Lucy and they're constantly on sale.
-
@snowjewelz: @mfa_lady: Have you guys tried just pulling the Coobie down on one side to nurse? I have a myriad of nursing bras and that's still my favorite way to access.
To answer the thread question, Coobie is my fave too!
-
@turquoisemama: same here
I don't like how the cups get squished when I do that so I remove them at home and just put them in for outside of the house. I only ever wear a "real" nursing bra if all the coobies are in the wash.
-
I'm a 34G and having an underwire is non negotiable! I like Freya and Felina bras, with a bit of padding and a seamless back band.
-
@turquoisemama: I usually pull up when I'm wearing mine! It works, but it feels more exposed if I'm out in public somewhere. Next time, I'm definitely getting the new nursing version!
-
@looch: yes, I need an underwire!
-
Another vote for coobie!
They seem to be on sale a lot, so if you don't need them right now I would wait for them to go on sale.
-
@mfa_lady: I like to wear a tank so I pull down the Coobie, pull up my shirt and pull down the tank so it's just a little hole...ahh nursing...haha!
-
@Anya: yeah, I just remove the pads all together. They are such a pain to put back in and with nursing pads in place, there's really no need!
-
Well, I'm nursing, in the Bravado Bliss. I never ever ever wear underwires- I don't think they are healthy! I'll purchase a bra with one and actually take it out!
-
@turquoisemama: Hahahaha, I just acted that out! Got it. Seems like a good solution!
-
When you wear the coobie, how much does it look like you are wearing a regular bra with underwire? I keep hearing about them so much on here, but I definitely want my boobs to look and feel supported.
Edit: just looked on Amazon and there a bunch of different types of coobie bras. Which ones are people rocking?
Thanks! Underwire bras are digging into my rib cage at this stage of my pregnancy.
-
@turquoisemama: I'm totally gonna try the coobie to pump/nurse! I guess I just never thought about going back to it, since I do have nursing bras/tanks!
-
@Mrs. Goose: I think they look pretty normal, especially if you leave the pads in. The one thing they aren't good for is wearing with a low cut shirt if you want cleavage. I have the "strappy scoop neck" and a "lace coverage." I'm thinking of trying the lace v neck next though.
-
Another vote for coobie! Though, I'm pregnant and small chested. For pregnancy, I wanted something comfortable and plus pregnancy makes my boobs look bigger. Pre-pregnancy, I liked padded bras. Not sure after being pregnant and after nursing, if I'll need to go back to padded bras. Guess it depends if I keep some of my boobs or go back to my pre-pregnancy size.
-
@Mrs. Goose: Not sure if you ordered one yet, but I got my first Coobie the other day and it is *definitely* a different look from an underwire bra. It doesn't provide the level of support I hoped for, so I don't think I'll be wearing it out, but it is cozy for hanging out around the house.
-
@simplyfelicity: which bravado do you like??
-
@Mrs. Bee: I asked on another post about finding a bra and @tmom suggested the Natori feathers - I got them yesterday and am wearing one today - OMG its sooo comfy and by far the prettiest bra I own!
-
@ms.line: no, I didn't yet. That's good to know. I bought a sports bra type nursing bra from a maternity store a few weeks ago and am trying to make that hold out longer. It is comfortable and has some little pads in it, but it doesn't give me a lot of support and I caught myself in the mirror with it the other day and realized I probably shouldn't be wearing it out of the house....underwire digs into me though right now because my uterus is pushing up underneath. I usually just take off my bra once I get home!
but plenty supportive for everyday.
