Ordering nursing bras online. Help please! :)

[GuavaGirl]

I need to order some nursing bras and there is no where to get them in my town...and I don't want to make a day trip out of town just for a couple bras.

a. I'm not sure what size to get. Don't your boobs get bigger when milk comes in?

b. Buying a bra w/o trying it on seems hard. However, I know that I typically like an underwire with a tiny bit of padding, so no little nippies show through (is that soft cup or lightly padded?)

c. I'm think of ordering from Motherhood. Any bra recommendations from there? I wish somewhere had free shipping.

d. What about sleep bras? Or maybe I should get a stretchier bra too, in case my boobs get huge, stretchy fabric can adjust.


A friend recommended this one, but it doesn't look supportive enough. I like a little lift.

Would love to hear your advice/thoughts! Thanks.

If you get one online, can I suggest getting a sleeping bra, like one from Bravado? You don't know what size you will be and it may be hard to get the right size without a fitting. I was wearing a Motherhood nursing bra in a 38 DD for over a year and was very uncomfortable until I got fitted at a local lingerie shop. Turned out I was a 32 G! I grew 4 cup sizes from prepregnancy to my milk came in. Motherhood doesn't go that big in cup or that small in band, I think. I can wear the Bravado sleep bra that fits a 32-36 and DD-F or something like that.
