Bra Whinge

Here I go having a whinge again :P
Man I'm having such a hard time trying to find maternity bras to fit! *pulls her hair out*

I bought a hot milk one a few months ago which was a 16F (nice large fitting sizes, i'm usually a 22DD pre preg) but now it's too tight! I've looked all thru farmers/warehouse/kmart/trademe but with no luck and dont even get me started on the retarded motherlove range from bendon that goes up to a 16D in most styles.. I mean COME ON! the average breastfeeding girl is larger than a bloody D cup.

So what do I do? I need some sort of support (I'll get some little tank tops for at home) and I just cant find anything ARGH! Should I buy normal bras and hope that they're not too sore?

I know what you mean, I am having the same problems.

I am using the same ones from last time round at the moment but I hate them, they don't fit right and don't feel supportive at all.....I hate them!

Good luck with finding others that work for you.

I know what you mean. I emailed Bendon to ask what they could suggest for someone larger than their maternity bra size. They told me to google my bra size - not very helpful.   I did find a very comfortable Triumph bra at a Arthur Barnetts, if you have one of those, it was less than $60 too which is a score in my size.

I had another look at websites last night, but i'll try going to a bigger farmers today. I need at least a 22 for round the middle. I cant believe they just dont do them!

No, I'm in rangiora by chch.. I dont know why my thing doesnt display that O.o i'll check it out.

I was a 12G to start with, and gone up 2-3 cup sizes to around a 12H/12J, so I know what you mean!

I order ALL my bras from Blestbras (the link is already in a previous post) in Australia, and they do have a really good returns policy if you're not happy with anything. I have found that hardly any manufacturers make above a G cup, but blestbras stock the UK brands Freya and Fantasie, which have a much larger selection. I have never been a fan of triumph (I feel like a cross between Madonna and a nana), but the other ranges are really good. It can take a couple of weeks to get your order (if it's not in stock), but they're normally pretty good.

I love Fayreform, and they have a really nice maternity bra (yes, only one!) up to a H/J cup, and would love them or Bendon to do more, but it seems us well-endowed girls get a bit of a rough deal!

The bras are always going to cost more (average price around $80 - 100), but unfortunately that's the way it is!

I have totally given up on finding anything that fits me in stores in NZ - it's not worth my time traipsing around getting depressed that nothing fits!

Just make sure the bras aren't too tight once your milk comes in - my MW has warned me about that! Apparently it can lead to mastitis etc if your boobs don't have enough room to move!

At least you came away with something?

MissAngel - where did you get the shelf bras from? Was that the Warehouse? Thanx

well im a DD pre maternity and was a EE when breastfeeding number one. I found some nice bras in the bendon factory outlet store. hehe just went to read the label and they have been washed so many times its faded LOL but im pretty sure it was fareforme (?sp) and I got them for $20 a pop

LOL @ the nana colours... I'll add nana STYLES too.. Blergh!!!
