got a nursing bra finally

[Dmitrizmom]

and holy cow - its a 34F. before I was wearing a 38G/H. been wearing a soft bra from Lane Bryant thats a 40DDD but knew that it was too big. I haven't worn a 34 band since high school.

Ug I can't find a good one. I'm a weird size I guess (34DD) and no one ever seems to have that size around here. Been just wearing my normal bras but they are a PIA.

I also got one last week and it is better but with breasts as large as mine and the op's it is going to be hard to find one that is really comfortable. This link shows the bra that I got and the company was really good/easy to work with. Let me know where you got yours so I can check it out. Also, if you put this code in you get a 10% discount...under10 or aj4uw10. They both should work but I used the second one and it definitely worked.

The bra I got is a Fancee Free (style 94305). It is a soft cup but still provides great support. I got it at a mastectomy/lingerie/bra shop in Des Moines.

The gal in the shop measured me differently than I've been measured before: around the ribs where the band sits (normal), then from where the band sits up to my nipple. I got a white bra and they are ordering one in beige for me.

*as a side note, I've found that stores that sell mastectomy products and bras tend to have the best selection of large cup nursing bras that are actually supportive, and they also do a fabulous job with fitting their clients.

I got the SAME one! Does it feel a bit stiff to you? I don't know if it is b/c we ar so large but I am hurting all the time in my back. Are you? Can't seem to be comfortable at any rate and quite frankly...getting tired of it!

I like it for being supported, but I think they sewed the cup flap up too high. There is no way I can be "discrete" when trying to contain the breast after nursing Viv.

I think the back hurting is more due to the added weight of milk-laden breasts than anything else. I've been telling dh for years that when we are done with babies and bf that I'm getting a reduction.
