Big chested ladies - DD and up

[pierogigirl]

I'm pretty sure the name of the bra I like is the Moving Comfort Fiona. It's a sports bra, but it lifts 'em up and I don't look like I have a uniboob. I'm not sure it would be super comfortable to sleep in because it's pretty encompassing, but I've worn it all day on a weekend and found it to be comfortable.

[ssmjlm]

On MMM they recommended the bravado silk with no underwire. Since you're TTC anyway might be worth looking into.

[lindyanne]

I wear champion sports bras from kohls. They're supportive but don't have any form to them. They're about $25.

[aspentosh]

Honestly I'd just buy a nursing bra. Love my Bravado body silk and Motherhood Maternity sleep bra. Will probably continue to use them after I am done nursing at night.

[aspentosh]

The sleep bra would be perfect for that- it's like wearing a t-shirt that continues to give. If you're just looking at wear it at home and at night, it's perfect. This is the one I have:

[aspentosh]

Oh, but I would try a couple sizes on. I am a 36DD (both pre nursing and now) and the large is a hair big. If you wanted a little mores support, I'd go medium (especially since you're a 34 IIRC).

I'm gonna bookmark this because I hate sports bras and wear a regular underwire to work out. But my giant boobs haven't grown since the BFP.

I love these for light, no underwire support but not attractive:

This one gives great support and is so comfy. Overlook that it is a maternity bra. The extra inner "sling" is what gives you the extra support

I wear these to sleep in so I can be a little more covered for when the kids come in but you have to get it in a mediun or smaller. The same with the Champion ones at Target:

These are amazing

they are ugly but extremely comfortable. (and BN has 25% off sale today) In addition to working out in them, I often just wear them as a normal bra when I'm hanging out around the house. I adore them.

[aspentosh]

Yeah, Moving Comfort Fiona are the ONLY sports bras I can workout in without any pain. That includes while I was nursing.

Those are what I have! The straps are like grasping for life, lol.

yea, they do not last long. The playtex one I linked actually is supportive. Get a smaller band size but the cup size is true fit.

EDIT: wearing the Fiona right now. The girls do not move and they are up to my chin. Great to give your back a break on the weekends. And working out!

The Bravado Body Silk is my recommendation too. I love that thing. Even if you can't use it while nursing, it's worth the money IMO to be comfortable before you get your periods. It could also be helpful when you do get pregnant since many women (myself included in my first PG) have super sensitive boobs in the 1st trimester.

[LoveTrains]

I am also in the DD range. Do you all really wear a bra to bed? If so, my mind is blown. Like almost as blown as when I found out that people do the band in the front and then twist and pull the straps up when putting on their bras.

BLOWN.

I cannot wear a bra to bed. Actually H and I almost always sleep totally naked. It is glorious.

Yea, won't fly in my house. But I do get three men in my bed at night .

But what if my boobs become enormous?! (This is a legitimate fear of mine.)

The bodysilk should still fit

I'm guessing you'll want a L or XL, there's a size chart on their website.

[LoveTrains]

But even if I didn't sleep naked, I still wouldn't wear a bra to bed.

[Deleted]

I don't see how anyone can wear a bra to bed. Taking off my bra is one of the highlights of my day.

For sports bras, I only like MC Fiona. I wear a 30DDD

I don't normally wear a bra to bed, but my boobs are so heavy and KILLLLLLL me without a bra the week before my period. If I roll over and they move too much it wakes me up so it's totally necessary.

They're also so big I feel weird going outside with no bra because they're too droopy.

Sorry I can only rec maternity stuff to you, but I really loved the Mamajamas nursing bras I had for sleeping. I SWORE I would NEVER EVER sleep in a bra... unfortunately I did not have a choice when nursing, but these ones were so comfortable I thought I might even continue to wear them when my daughter weaned. They would be very good for heavy, sensitive PMS boobies.

[shopgirl07]

I have a Hanky Panky one that I love. Not exactly cheap, maybe like $50ish?

[bleubook]

I'm a 34dd but I don't need much support. Just a large cup to not spill out if it. Honestly for weekends, I just buy normal sports bras at target.

My favorite are lululemon, but they are pricy.

[rikki]

I wear a bra 24/7. I hate that I have to take it off to shower. Putting it back on is the first thing I do after drying off.

[aspentosh]

I miss sleeping naked. I stopped when I got PG and never got back to it. I am hoping to get there soon since I rarely leak at night now. But yeah, I love that moment of taking off my bra. Heavenly.

[Ashley&Scott]

Bravado nursing tanks are also comfy & supportive.

They will be less droopy as time goes on with a nice, comfy sleeping bra!

My only comment is no, I don't sleep in a bra. I'm a 38 G.

[statlerwaldorf]

I wear cheaper sports bras. They don't have enough support for me to actually work out in, but work out well for sleeping. I don't know what brands I have. Just the ones from Walmart or Target. The ones that are a step up from the cheapest multipacks.

[jackie011]

I wear a sports bra, just the cheapie Fruit of the Loom multi-pack variety, to bed from time to time. In the summer I usually wear camis with a shelf bra, but in the winter I usually sleep in a v-neck tee and the girls flop out as I move around through the night.

I swear by all things Wacoal, so that is my contribution here!

[sunshinedaydreams]

Does it have to be a bra? I'm a G cup and when I feel like I need some sort of support to sleep, I just wear a cami with a shelf in it. It's super comfy, and just enough support to not feel too confined. And much cheaper than a bra.

[Doggy Mommy]

I don't understand wearing a bra to sleep at all. That sounds awful. For running, I highly recommend Moving Comfort Juno. I like it a lot better than Fiona. For everyday, like someone else said, Fantasie and Chantelle from Nordstrom. They're expensive but I've tried going cheaper and it doesn't cut it. I do have a soft, lightweight sports bra that is not that supportive but is comfortable from dicks sporting goods. That would probably be good for what you're describing.

[KaraOrNot]

Just checking in to say that I like sleeping in a bra. I am not a DD, but I like this one:
