I usually get it no matter what bra I wear because they are big. I just let it air out and put a little deodorant there to help it stay dry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-or-nursing-bra-help-needed-for-short-torso-people#post-2461657 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 06:44:44 +0000 pastemoo 2461657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Weird question with all the stretchy bras... Are the girls separated or do you get the sweat/rash/rub? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-or-nursing-bra-help-needed-for-short-torso-people#post-2461114 Sat, 13 Feb 2016 23:10:33 +0000 Foodnerd81 2461114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore a lot of stretchy sports bra type bras, like cheap target ones, and some pullover modal ones from the gap. Neither were that supportive but I couldn't handle confining under wires. I should have gotten nursing bras sooner though! </p> <p>@Ginabean3: @simplyfelicity: oh I disagree- I was so happy to put underwires back on after nursing. Not as comfy but my boobs looked so much better- for a hot second before I got pregnant again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-or-nursing-bra-help-needed-for-short-torso-people#post-2461108 Sat, 13 Feb 2016 22:58:12 +0000 Ginabean3 2461108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: me either!!!! I want to wear nursing bras forever they are so comfy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-or-nursing-bra-help-needed-for-short-torso-people#post-2461074 Sat, 13 Feb 2016 21:37:37 +0000 simplyfelicity 2461074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ginabean3: I honestly don't want to go back to underwire! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-or-nursing-bra-help-needed-for-short-torso-people#post-2461073 Sat, 13 Feb 2016 21:36:51 +0000 Ginabean3 2461073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: @pastemoo: yes!!! 6 months PP and still wearing the bravado body silk nursing bras!! Wore them all through my pregnancy as well. They are fabulous!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-or-nursing-bra-help-needed-for-short-torso-people#post-2461066 Sat, 13 Feb 2016 21:21:14 +0000 simplyfelicity 2461066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: Another vote for bravado! I am still wearing them at 7 months pp! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-or-nursing-bra-help-needed-for-short-torso-people#post-2460974 Sat, 13 Feb 2016 18:29:28 +0000 DesertDreams88 2460974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Coobie bras worked for me until I became a DD. I have a short torso and a big bump, too. I haven't worn any other bras besides these since July. Good price, VERY comfy: </p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YGSELHK?psc=1&#038;redirect=true&#038;ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YGSELHK?psc=1&#038;redirect=true&#038;ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-or-nursing-bra-help-needed-for-short-torso-people#post-2460969 Sat, 13 Feb 2016 18:22:31 +0000 Littlebit7 2460969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: the real bravado version is better than the target version. FYI. Much better construction. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-or-nursing-bra-help-needed-for-short-torso-people#post-2460931 Sat, 13 Feb 2016 17:19:06 +0000 pastemoo 2460931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ms.line: @SweetiePie: Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-or-nursing-bra-help-needed-for-short-torso-people#post-2460928 Sat, 13 Feb 2016 17:14:40 +0000 SweetiePie 2460928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: @ms.line: Bravado is definitely more adjustable and way more support. And I agree with @ms.line that the coobie is no support. Like at all. But I was pregnant in the NYC summer so I got the the point that I just didn't GAF. Haha. It mostly hid my nipples and that was good enough for me. And I am usually in supportive bras because I have a bigger chest.<br /> That being said, if you aren't comfortable with very little support I wouldn't go with the coobie.<br /> It's fuzzy but I think they are all "one size"? But they are very stretchy so it was fine. There are two models and I got both and returned one of them. Let me see if I can figure it out from my email history. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-or-nursing-bra-help-needed-for-short-torso-people#post-2460923 Sat, 13 Feb 2016 17:07:46 +0000 ms.line 2460923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: The straps are adjustable and there's a standard hook and eye closure on the back. I also bought a Coobie but it just doesn't offer the support I want - I only wear it around the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-or-nursing-bra-help-needed-for-short-torso-people#post-2460918 Sat, 13 Feb 2016 17:03:41 +0000 pastemoo 2460918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ms.line: Are they at all adjustable? I will look into them. Thank you!<br /> @SweetiePie: Thanks! Yeah, I've still got 3 1/2 months to go. Tell me more about the coobie? I hear a lot, but I worry about the way they size. What did you think?<br /> I'm also in the E-I range depending on band size I go with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-or-nursing-bra-help-needed-for-short-torso-people#post-2460913 Sat, 13 Feb 2016 16:57:22 +0000 SweetiePie 2460913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore bravado silk maternity/nursing bras and coobie bras. They are entirely wireless because I couldn't do a wire at all. The bravado was still pretty supportive. The coobie had no support but was comfortable. But as I got more pregnant I didn't care that I was poking people in the eyes with my boobs. Comfort won.<br /> I was about a 34G while pregnant and probably bigger after. They both worked well postpartum too. I wore the bravado more postpartum because my stomach was smaller/lower and of course the nursing panels were great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-or-nursing-bra-help-needed-for-short-torso-people#post-2460912 Sat, 13 Feb 2016 16:54:58 +0000 ms.line 2460912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just got some Bravado Silk nursing bras to wear until my boob size has stabilized. They're super comfy and surprisingly supportive (I'm a DD). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-or-nursing-bra-help-needed-for-short-torso-people#post-2460908 Sat, 13 Feb 2016 16:51:39 +0000 pastemoo 2460908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After all the wonderful bras and whatnot I got while pregnant with my son, this time around and this baby--while lower than my son was in terms of rib pain and the like.--is definitely rounding my belly way up high and my breasts and like 17,000x bigger. Literally my bra must sit on the belly, no matter what. there is no narrowest point. </p> <p>How in the world do I get a bra? I went up 6 inches in band size to get something that fits around, but then the wire or seam that pretends to be a wire hits me square in the armpit.<br /> Is there some kind of sport bra that I should try? Some magical maternity (or nursing) bra? Go for a bra that fits the cup and get a bunch of expander clips for the back? I am at such a loss.<br /> Thanks for any help! </p>
