I saw some old posts but thought I would ask again in case there’s anything new!
Finally got myself back to working out and there’s wayyyy too much bounce. I guess I need a nursing bra because anything with enough support is probably hard to pull down to nurse?
Thanks!!

I will follow along! But really.. I have an old old sports bra from target (same one in three colors) and its great for nursing. I am able to just pop a boob out the top. So maybe you can look for a regular sports bra that allows you to do that. I am still looking for a new version! Good luck!

Bamboobies makes a sports nursing bra. But if you’re big boobed it might not be enough support. (I’m a 36G when pregnant/PP and while it was good for lounging it might not have worked for workouts.)

@SweetiePie: yeah they are ridiculous while nursing ... honestly I don’t even know what great support would be for the size if it didn’t need nursing access?

I found for actually exercising I needed to double up. Target or some other nursing sports
bra with a true sized-up sports bra on top. No matter what tried otherwise there was too much, um, volume to be contained with one bra. That shit hurt. And then after exercising I’d just pop the extra bra off

I can’t really imagine any bra with enough support for real exercising being comfortable to wear all day and nurse in. I always just changed after.
I did get a nursing sports bra by Rosie Pope that I really liked, but in a walking around type of support, not jogging. LO2 weaned well over a year ago and I still wear it when I’m wearing a racer back shirt and not aggressively exercising (but I wouldn’t wear it for Zumba or running).

I second what @foodnerd81 said. I have small boobies even when nursing, but regardless, I don't nurse in a sports bra - I basically just put it on to work out, then take it off and change into a regular bra. Honestly I find the tightness uncomfortable if I'm even a little bit full, so I can't imagine wearing it any longer than necessary.

@Foodnerd81: yeah, I only need it for when I go to the class time where I have to rush from school dropoff and nurse in the car. Part of me thinks I should just take the time to change bras after feeding and miss a couple minutes, until she drops that feeding. Was hoping for a silver bullet but probably doesn’t exist!

Brooks Fiona. Very supportive and you can undo it in the front!

My boobs get out of control sized when I'm nursing but I also run long distances. This is the best, and only, bra that works in my opinion! I think it's the same as the Fiona above, but the high impact version so a little more support.

Comfy, no chafing, and easy to get on and off thanks to Velcro. It's my fave even when I'm not nursing!

@psw27: this is what I was going to recommend! it used to be the brand "moving comfort" but brooks bought it out in between my pregnancies. I wear a DD and don't jiggle at all while running, plus it's easy to open from the front to nurse

@psw27: @nana87: ok maybe this IS my silver bullet! Even free shipping and returns, can’t hurt to try - thank you!

@bhbee: it's the best! @nana87: yes it used to be called that! They've called it a few names but it's the same. My fave for sure.
