Nursing, Swimming, and Large Breasts

[pumpkin]

I'm an H right now. DD will absolutely not let me cover her nor do I really want to. When we are out and about I find nursing shirts invaluable. Just pulling aside a regular shirt exposes a giant breast.

I ordered a nursing swimsuit but it doesn't have enough breast support and its way to big everywhere except my chest.

I am getting a pool membership this year and we will be hanging out at the lake house swimming so I'll be spending lots of time in a swimsuit this summer.

What do women do that have large breasts do for nursing swimwear?

Well I'm not quite as big, but I am 36DD and when my DD was a baby I wore a light gauzy shirt over my swimsuit, which I always wear halter suits. I just pulled the halter aside and covered myself with the shirt. I swear it's pathetic the world of nursing swimsuits, I'm not giant everywhere either, it's hard.

No nursing experience here, but I do have the big ta tas. I am a DDD, borderline F, and for my swimsuits, I get a sports bra in the same color as the suit and just keep my top pulled high enough to make them blend together. Maybe a nursing bra would work the same way?

this place will make you nursing swimsuits in your custom size.... haven't tried them, so can't really vouch. sounds cool though. let me know if you find a solution, I am also having trouble!

I am an F cup. I would just wear a tshirt over my suit and pull my shoulder/boob out of the strap and nurse as normal. How about just wearing a nursing shirt over your bathing suit when it is time to nurse?

I'm a G cup & just have a regular bathingsuit with a cross front top so it's easy to get a boob out. Then I usually wore a gauzy coverup that I could easily use to cover the top of my breast if I was wanting more coverage.

I just drop one side and pull that boob out. DS really covers up most of the real estate, even with my ginormous breasts (H right now, I think. They were beyond J for the first several months). The first few times, I did throw on a mostly see through tank style lace/cut out cover-up dress and just lifted it way up after pulling one side of my suit down, but it was a hassle. You can drape a prefold over the top of your breast, too, if you need to worry about sunburn.

I wear bathing suits which are generally faux tankinis with a molded cup or extra layers up top. I *think* this is my current suit (different print). I don't care for the leg cut (I prefer a higher leg), but it works for my boob-restraining needs. If that's the suit I have, a good seamstress could actually modify it to be a nursing suit which pulls up from the bottom.

The best solution I came up with was to wear bikini bottoms, a regular nursing bra, and a synthetic shirt matching the bottoms. I had some cute black bottoms that looked ok with a black sleeveless running shirt.
