 Topic: Nappy bags and maternity bra’s
Posted: 03 November 2010 at 10:41am |
I am wanting recommendations on nappy bags (where to buy, size etc) as I haven't been able to find any that I like.
Also, I need to get my a into g and get fitted for a maternity bra... any suggestions as to good stores who do fitting (in West Auckland or North Shore)
THANKS

With regards to maternity bras, I actually found the bendon outlet store in Westgate really great. The lady was sooooooo helpful and I managed to score 2 bras for $35! Not sure if they do proper fittings, but she got my sizing pretty much spot on.

Bendon outlet store is where I went too.
Nappy bags - didn't use one. The ones I liked cost WAY too much so I was cheap and just used to pile everything into one of those reusable bags (not a supermarket one but a 'nice' one lol)

yep any bendon store will help, i went to the one in Shore City in Takapuna and they fitted me there, they were really helpful. We bought a nappy bag but I honestly wouldnt bother, I just use a big handbag now and that fits all my stuff, nappies wipes, snacks, toys, spare clothes

I've got 2 nappy bags - a huge one in the car with EVERYTHING in it (x2 for twins) and I also have a little one which I use as my handbag but has the essential nappies etc. I purchased mine from www.bellybeyond.co.nz
Like the others mentioned though, they arent' cheap

To start off with I was just using a backpack- it was GREAT cos carrying the capsule and could just throw the bag over my shoulder to start off with. As he's growing I've got more of a idea of what I want, but we will see 
Do you have something round home you could use in the mean time??

I have an oi oi bag in black leather - LOVE it, use it every day so consider it worth every $. It looks like a funky handbag but with heaps of room inside and a change mat, bottle holder etc, and pockets on the outside for all my stuff. Holds everything I need for a all day outing with DS plus baby things for DD.
Maternity bras - can't go past hot milk, love their stuff.

Thanks everyone. I might use a bag I already have and then see next year (once my little one has arrived) what kind of bag I really need. Anything to save $$ in the meantime!!

Oh, and for quick trips I also have a small satchel bag thing, which was just a handbag before hand, I have 2 bibs, 3 nappies and a travel container of wipes in it. Then as I need it (its the one that I use on the back of the pram for walks) I'll throw in sunscreen/sun hat or whatever else we need :)

bendon suck for big boobs!! i am a 14-16 J. try www.avokado.co.nz they are awesome. they have a shop in newmarket and are so helpful. also if you order online and it doesnt fit right you can send it back to exchange size for free. yes they are a bit expensive but its worth it for the better support

I just bought a big handbag! It has a really large opening, a strap that goes over the stroller handles and has a cheap lining that I can wipe down if anything gets on it!

If there is a Hot Gossip Bra Shop around they do free bra fittings and they also sell the HotMilk range.

I got my nappy bag from Spotlight - $40 and it fitted everything I needed (x2 for twins). I still use it now...it's getting a bit tatty but still does the job. I'm thinking about getting one of the big beach bags from the Warehouse though, and using that instead and doubling it as a handbag, since my one broke

MamaMore Maternity have the Double Plus Nursing Bra from Bravado which goes from 10D to 24F. You can return what doesn't fit exactly right or exchange for a different size.

nappy bag - spotlight. $10. (think it was on spesh. mightve been $30 full price?)
bra - bendon outlet store. also try looking online for maternity bra/lingerie/clothing stores in NZ and find the ones that have a store. if in Auckland, head over to them since they are more maternity focussed so might have a better idea than bendon?
