I have a larger chest (G cup pre-pregnancy/nursing), so it made me feel a lot more comfortable to have underwire. Never had a clogged duct or mastitis or anything (but I had a clogged duct with C and a no-underwire bra... go figure). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-underwire-nursing-bras#post-2384686 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 17:57:10 +0000 Mommy Finger 2384686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With DS1, I wore mainly no underwire bras and would get clogged ducts regularly. With DS2, I wear mostly underwire bras and haven't had one clogged duct. I don't think it's related to the bras though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-underwire-nursing-bras#post-2384045 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 11:02:10 +0000 snowjewelz 2384045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did not, and never had mastitis. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-underwire-nursing-bras#post-2384030 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 10:52:23 +0000 blackbird 2384030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: no, mines from the Dairy Fairy. But I was taking off my bra, putting on the hands free one, then I had to get dressed again.....and it wasn't conducive to car pumping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-underwire-nursing-bras#post-2383889 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 09:44:24 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2383889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I mostly wore non-underwire before I went back to work at 8 months PP. Then I wore underwire nursing bras or normal bras and just changed into a hands-free pumping bra when I pumped. No clogged ducts or mastitis. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-underwire-nursing-bras#post-2383873 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 09:39:42 +0000 hilsy85 2383873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: is that the simple wishes hands free one? </p> <p>I was wondering how that works if you wear a different bra to pump...do you take off your bra and put on a different one before you pump? Seems like so much work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-underwire-nursing-bras#post-2383856 Thu, 10 Dec 2015 09:28:54 +0000 blackbird 2383856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 7 months PP and I would LOVE to have an underwire pump/nursing bra. Right now, I wear a non-underwire pump bra to work.

A tight nursing tank clogged one side at night for me so I'm not doing bras yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-underwire-nursing-bras#post-2383615 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 22:30:55 +0000 autumnlove 2383615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to find some underwire nursing bras. I am so sick of structure less bras! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-underwire-nursing-bras#post-2383602 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 22:10:33 +0000 MamaCate 2383602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: I did mostly tanks and non-wire bras the first time around but decided to try underwire this time. I feel my clothes look better and I have not had mastitis as a result (I did have mastitis but it was from going too long overnight without feeding/pumping).</p> <p>I ordered mine through soma on the advice of someone here and they have been great so far! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-underwire-nursing-bras#post-2383592 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 21:59:25 +0000 Orchid 2383592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did all throughout except during the beginning few weeks. I had mastitis in the beginning, but it was related to my oversupply; once that was under control I had no issues wearing underwire bras. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-underwire-nursing-bras#post-2383590 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 21:58:05 +0000 Anagram 2383590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been wearing underwire nursing bras this whole time after LO2 and no mastitis and NO CLOGGED DUCTS (I'm excited about that, because I had constant clogged ducts with LO 1).</p> <p>I actually got a decent underwire nursing bra at Target. And I got the Lemon Zest Cake lingerie nursing bra for "working out" (pff), but now I'm wearing it as a regular every day bra because I find it really comfy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-underwire-nursing-bras#post-2383586 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 21:55:02 +0000 avivoca 2383586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did. I had mastitis once but it was unrelated to the bras. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-underwire-nursing-bras#post-2383584 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 21:53:46 +0000 Greentea 2383584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's true! Underwire free for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-underwire-nursing-bras#post-2383573 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 21:44:36 +0000 kiddosc 2383573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I exclusively wore underwire bras for the whole 15 months I nursed. I had a big chest and I hated the shape a non underwire bra gave me. Never had a clogged duct or mastitis. I think if you're going to have issues, you're going to have issues. No matter what you wear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-underwire-nursing-bras#post-2383567 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 21:33:50 +0000 rattles 2383567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm three for three. I've had three clogged ducts, and they've been the three times I wore underwire. I've never had one otherwise. I miss it so much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-underwire-nursing-bras#post-2383565 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 21:32:24 +0000 MrsRcCar 2383565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer underwire bras. I feel much better supported and have never had any problems. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-underwire-nursing-bras#post-2383558 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 21:23:10 +0000 Foodnerd81 2383558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never found any that were that comfortable, so I mostly wore non underwire nursing bras. When I was actually getting dressed up I wore regular underwire bras and just did some maneuvering to nurse. They just weren't as comfortable, but yeah, especially by the end of nursing and wearing the same bras for a year and a half.., it wasn't the most flattering. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-underwire-nursing-bras#post-2383556 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 21:22:11 +0000 MrsKoala 2383556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did. I had mastitis twice but I do not believe that wearing underwire had anything to do with either instance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-underwire-nursing-bras#post-2383554 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 21:21:02 +0000 hilsy85 2383554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bluemasonjar: yep I'm doing a lot of nursing tanks but I plan to get remeasured for a bra in Jan and I would like to get something more structured! good to know you've had no issues<br /> @Ash: yay! thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-wear-underwire-nursing-bras#post-2383553 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 21:19:49 +0000 Ash 2383553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wear underwire (always have with both kids) and I've never had mastitis. </p>
