I loved my hot milk ones too - wish I knew about the sales when I was pregnant or breastfeeding. Might pass those links on to some friends.

I found them really comfy and supportive as well as being sexy underwear. I went to that avokado shop and tried a bunch on there.]]> Sun, 23 May 2010 12:07:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33261&PID=1038531&title=maternity-bras#1038531 <![CDATA[Maternity bra’s : Love Breastmates the best Im...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33261&PID=1038198&title=maternity-bras#1038198 Author: _SMS_

At what stage do you start wearing them and what size do I need?

My boobs feel like they're going to explode out of my chest they've gotten so much bigger and I'm only 15 weeks preggers, would prefer to go straight into mat bras rather than buy new ordinary ones.

I have been going through the same thing knowing that the bras that you wear in the begining of BF are fairly ruined once feeding and boobs have settled. I refuse to spend the amount that the branded bras are when I know what condition they will end up in and that they may not fit when baby is about 3mths old. Loveable make a fairly sturdy bra that isnt that sexy BUT will get you through and brand new is only $40. It depends on your size but I am a big girl and need something INDUSTRIAL as opposed to hot and cute!

I got all mine from Kmart for $15-20 but the straps seem to have stretched (???). They are on the shortest length possible but they keep slipping off my shoulders. They used to be fine tho but now they just don't fit well at all. Think I might need to go buy myself some decent ones like HOTMilk or something.

I've just been through the process of getting my maternity/feeding bras... I went and got properly fitted for my size and then just tried heaps and heaps on as each 'make and model' fits slightly differently.

I ended up getting a Bendon style at Farmers - for $16!!! (but that was a special on a reduced price - but got one in each of the colours available so bras worth $90 for $32... lucky I know).

Currently I am in one of my HotMilk ones and I agree with MissAngel, fantastic and soooooooooo comfortable! I got a couple different styles through Maternity Direct website, both cheaper than the rest so I think they're end of line or something (about $25 I think).

It really does pay to shop around a bit.]]> Wed, 05 May 2010 16:44:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33261&PID=1017175&title=maternity-bras#1017175 <![CDATA[Maternity bra’s : Ive yet to find one I am happy...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33261&PID=1017126&title=maternity-bras#1017126 Author: mummyofprinces
