Do you still buy their bras? One I got recently feels like the straps aren't as strong as they could be. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-concert#post-1339773 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 15:38:11 +0000 avivoca 1339773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My girls need support. I love my Coobie bras, but for work or special occasions I wear an underwire nursing bra from Soma. I actually have a better milk output on the days I wear my Soma bra. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-concert#post-1339751 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 15:20:39 +0000 PointeShoesTutus 1339751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only wear underwire bras for work. No padding because I have Ds and they're big enough. I like bras that have a little bit of a liner to prevent nipples showing and to shape the girls just a little. On weekends it's a Coobie bra~they're so comfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-concert#post-1339616 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 13:42:08 +0000 loveisstrange 1339616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: I used to be a bra specialist at VS and that really pisses me off. :/ But yeah, try that tutorial and measure yourself. Its the most accurate one Ive seen, hands down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-concert#post-1339612 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 13:40:12 +0000 Boogs 1339612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like underwire with a bit of padding for lift. I need that lift!</p> <p>@loveisstrange: Good to know! I went to VS and I had two different people measure me and results were all over the place. Girl #1 actually seemed to care. She said I measured at a 34C buy I told her I came in because while that was my size I think I went down and she agreed that I actually looked more like a 34B. Girl #2 comes in and says 36C. First girl told her that she watched her read the numbers wrong and she said, "Eh, it doesn't matter!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-concert#post-1339423 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 11:37:12 +0000 StrawberryBee 1339423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>underwire, I can't WAIT to go back after I'm done BF'ing! My boobs look like a uniboob right now in my nursing bras ;_; </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-concert#post-1339401 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 11:29:25 +0000 Mamadee 1339401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jetsa I'm in the same boat! I had barely A's before birth and now they are barely B's. Every nursing bra i wear makes me look more flat chested than I already am but I can't bring myself to put on anything with under wire right now because I've had mastitis twice!</p> <p>I have a feeling my boobs are going to look like shriveled raisins after nursing is over :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-concert#post-1339350 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 11:03:53 +0000 Dandelion 1339350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate underwire. It has fever felt good on me, and I get so uncomfortable. I've been wire free practically my whole life! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-concert#post-1339314 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 10:35:46 +0000 Mae 1339314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Underwire with light padding. I don't need any more bulk (I'm a DD as it is) but I haaate showing nipple through a shirt. And I have a few non-underwire bras I wear when I want to be super comfy but they are not as flattering as underwire bras. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-concert#post-1339307 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 10:29:31 +0000 jetsa 1339307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was an A or AA pre-preg and I needed padding lift all of it. Now I'm a dd nursing and I'm clueless lol. I will definitely miss these after baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-concert#post-1339290 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 10:17:01 +0000 MrsKoala 1339290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cannot go without wires with a G cup.

It looks soooo comfy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-concert#post-1339263 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 10:01:05 +0000 Anagram 1339263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Underwire, no padding here. I hate nursing bras because they make the flattest, saggiest boobies. Can't wait to wear normal bras again. Plus a good underwire really lifts, separates, and minimizes.... The exact opposite of my nursing bras. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-concert#post-1339235 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 09:44:29 +0000 mrs. wagon 1339235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can totally relate!! My everyday bra now is the coobie bra (no wire or padding) but when I am motivated enough my favorite bras are under wire, no padding, and stretch lace cups. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-concert#post-1339223 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 09:35:03 +0000 Greentea 1339223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think underwires are too healthy so I wear no pad no wire. I am nursing though. Pre baby I wore very lightly padded (no nipples show!) and no wire. I actually just take the wire out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-concert#post-1339214 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 09:24:12 +0000 erwoo 1339214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me too! Except I'm pretty average. :P I used to wear underwire bras ALL the time but now I only wear wireless. I find it more comfortable than underwires. Plus, after having two kids and nursing both of them for a while I just got used to it anyway. I've read it's better for you to wear wireless in the long run. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-concert#post-1339210 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 09:19:12 +0000 mrs. 64 1339210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Going without an underwire is not an option. I need the support! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-concert#post-1339207 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 09:17:46 +0000 photojane 1339207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Underwire for SURE. My NatGeo tribal boobs need support. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-concert#post-1339198 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 09:12:44 +0000 heartonastring 1339198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Underwire is not ideal. It can have some negative health effects. I'm well-endowed as well (DD pre-pregnancy, currently nursing and an F cup...ugh) and I quit underwire probably 2.5 years ago now. Thankfully there seem to be more and more wire-free bras on the market all the time. I can't wait until I can throw away my nursing bras and go back to normal bras! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-concert#post-1339194 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 09:11:30 +0000 loveisstrange 1339194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: Absolutely go somewhere reliable and get properly fitted! It makes a world of difference.</p> <p>If you want an idea of your size, here's a really good tutorial that is really pretty accurate.</p> <p><a href="http://i.imgur.com/jcNkeVr.png" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/jcNkeVr.png</a></p> <p>[attach=1353/14/mzakr6.146x600.jcNkeVr.png] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-concert#post-1339191 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 09:07:34 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1339191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: I've heard that...i need to get fitted because I'm about 90% sure that none of my bras are big enough. That's another reason I've stopped wearing them; I don't want the bad fit to cause clogged ducts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-concert#post-1339114 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 08:12:09 +0000 Ra 1339114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wear both! Padded with no underwire is most comfortable but not as flattering. I typically wear my bras without underwire around the house or under hoodies or baggy sweaters. If I need a little shape then I wear lightly padded with underwire. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-concert#post-1339099 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 08:04:14 +0000 Mrs. Taco 1339099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a B pre baby and even now with a D/DD, I like underwire and padding... guess I like how it smoothes everything out? Totally not the right word but you know what I mean? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-concert#post-1339094 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 07:56:10 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1339094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Underwire with a little padding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-concert#post-1339087 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 07:42:17 +0000 loveisstrange 1339087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Underwire, with padding. If they fit correctly, they shouldn't hurt.</p> <p>I hate the look of my boobs in wireless. Sad boobies are no fun. I love my pretty, sexy pushup bras (I'm a 34DD/E). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-concert#post-1339081 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 07:37:41 +0000 blackbird 1339081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish more women at work wore padding. Nobody needs to see your headlights lol! </p> <p>Underwire with padding over here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-concert#post-1339078 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 07:34:10 +0000 Bookish 1339078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't need padding but underwire is a must for me! I tried a couple wireless nursing bras and the girls were all sorts of sad! </p>
