ISO Nursing bra recommendations

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 

I've lost 20 pounds since Christmas biggrinbounce.gif, and I really need new nursing bras.  DD2 is 21 months, and although I'm still losing weight, I think my bra size is stable enough to buy new ones.  I'm measuring at a 32DD/E (32in under bust, 37-38in across fullest part of bust), which seems to be pretty hard to find.  I'm wearing mostly 36D or 34DD bras, which don't fit well.  I tried on several 34Ds at Target recently (the closest to my size they had), and they were laughably tight. 

 

Here are my required features: full drop down cups, simple one hand standard nursing clip (no weird hooks), no underwire, rather deep plunge (I want to be able to wear v-necks without any bra showing), more demi style than full coverage, simple smooth fabric (minimal lace and frills, most of all very smooth under clothes), good lifting support, and hopefully an affordable price point ($20-40 would be ideal, but I can fudge that for the right bra).

 

What brand, style, and/or store would you recommend?

I love doing business with http://www.mommygear.com/

 

They are VERY knowledgeable and have a good return policy. I loved the bravado body silks when I could still fit them (having a second has left me purchasing regular bras and paying for nursing hardware to fix myself). HotMilk! also makes some great stuff, but not sold at mommygear.com. Good luck!

I've found the Bella Materna nursing bralet to be by far the most comfortable and supportive non-underwire bra.  I cannot believe how supportive this bra is.  I'm also a 32E and this brand runs a little tight in the band.  I have a few that are 34 and a few that are 32.  The 32s are very tight even at the biggest band setting.  They are pricey but the quality is excellent and I can't stress enough how supportive this bra is for not having any underwire. 

 

I've gotten some on sale at www.zulily.com before.
