BF & underwire question

[Deleted]

Those who are still BF, are you still exclusively wearing nursing bras, or have you gone back to underwire? (some of the time, special occasions, etc)

I found a nice bra from pre-PG and tried it on and holy mackerel my boobs look a frillion times better. I'm scared of blocked ducts from the wire though. I just wore it when we went out the other night.

Just wondering what everyone else is doing?

[TrudyCampbell]

Only on special occasions. I get a blocked duct almost every time . Ugh!!

The bralellujah hasn't been bad!

You mean you don't love the big sexy clips and all? heheh. I reckon I'm going to have to get refitted when all is said and done. I'm sure they are smaller, I was a D now a C- at best
Bralellujah! I love it

I have an under wire nursing bra that fits and works for special occasions. I get plugged ducts if I wear it too much.

I wear nursing bras still.
For those who are done BF or have older kids- how long after you weaned until you were your new size? I should go get refitted and I've started to wean

[cat19]

Am I the only person with underwire nursing bras? With my gigundo boobs, I need the underwire or they just become a big ugly uniboob. I wear plain old nursing bras/tanks to bed. But, I do replace them more frequently then I would if they were regular old bras.

I am wearing my old underwire bra from nordstroms, it is a bit small but it is much more supportive and I feel better in it. So far, no blocked ducts and I've been wearing it for 3 months, and rotate it w/ a couple nursing bras. It has an underwire on the bottom but not in the middle, etc. Maybe that's why?

I pretty much only wear nursing camis. I tried underwire once, and it was really uncomfortable for me.

I haven't worn nursing bras in months. I can't stand it! My boobs look terrible!

I haven't had any duct issues. But, I have had an easy bf ride.

I still wear just nursing bra's w/o an underwire.. I miss my underwire bra's though. After this weekends incident I'm scared to even think about wearing an underwire until I've weaned her.

Nursing bras only. It would take a very short person walking around in front of me holding my boobs up to ever make them look perky again. I gave up.

[charlielove]

LOL tuck! I'm still in nursing bras, just more comfortable and easier really.

As far as getting measured...I would wait a month, maybe even a bit longer to make sure your boobs have really "settled" into the size they are going to be.

[thedahliharpa]

Nursing bras only. There wasn't much to hold up before my mama days. I can't recall how far into nursing H I wore them...not until the end, maybe the middle.

[monkeybabe]

Nursing bras only for me. I'm too prone to clogged ducts to risk it. Suck, though, because my tits could use a lift.

[eav2c]

I only wear nursing bras. My boobs flap around all old lady like but I feel so free! I'm not sure I'm ever going back to underwire!

I use underwire nursing bras. My boobs would be at my knees if I didn't. The Medela ones were good for a minute, until the underwire popped out on the sides. I have an Elomi one that's great

I have two underwire nursing bras. I don't wear them much anymore but I do love that they're much more supportive than anything else I have. They are a perfect fit, done through a specialty bra shop, and I have never had a clogged duct. I can check the brand name later if anyone wants it. I actually hate the nursing bras that I have. Even though the size is right I feel like I have to have them on really tight in order to have any real support and the straps then pinch. I can only wear them for so long. I feel really guilty because I spent a lot onlf money on them.

I wear regular underwire bras to work every day or whenever we go out. Giant floppy boobs are not appropriate in my formal work environment, nor do they look attractive. I usually change into a nursing tank or sports bra once I'm at home. I got myself a couple of well fitting bras and I've only had one plugged duct, which I blame on missed pump sessions.

[EnchantedSoul]

I haven't worn a nursing bra in ages. I haven't had any duct issues, though.

When I was trying to BF I wore underwire nursing bras by Anita. When I switched to EPing I started wearing my favorite regular Fantasie underwire bras between pumps. If I don't get proper support my shoulders ache. I've never had a clogged duct.

You're not alone! Mine also is underwire

All of my nursing bras were underwire. I had a few minor clogs through 8 months of nursing/pumping, but never really attributed it to the underwire.

I still wear my nursing bras. I've worn a regular, underwire bra the handful of times I've gone somewhere without DD. Around the house and at night I wear a cami with a built in bra, which is good at helping prevent thedreaded saggy boobs (lets hope!).

[shmoo]

I am still wearing nursing bras, no underwires. I love the Elle Macpherson Maternelle nursing bras, I think they are pretty supportive.

[ashleydl83]

Yeah I only wear underwire when I need to feel better about myself. Otherwise, it's uniboob for me.

[laurack]

I find my soft nursing bras/camis the most comfortable, however the bra I wear to work most often is an underwired padded nursing bra. I can't wear the soft ones unless I'm wearing a lot of layers and/or have pads in the bra as my nipples poke through things now and it looks very inappropriate!

[Deleted]

I have nursing bras with underwire and love them. I haven't had any clogged ducts.

[rxbeth]

I mostly wear nursing tank tops and soft sports bra type nursing bras.

I do have 2 underwear nursing bras but I've only worn them a handful of times when we have gone to weddings and I wanted the ladies to look fabulous.

[Deleted]

underwires only for dressup - they aren't comfortable anymore, but my boobs look good in them.

[carawestt]

My nursing bras have underwire too. They're starting to get a bit big though so I've been wearing my pre-preg bras even though they're a little big. I can't win!

Eta: I've never had a clogged duct from wearing underwire.
