I bought myself a feeding singlet from TM (new from Maternity Direct, but on "sale" on TM). The main reason was that they were advertising size XXL. I sent emails to double check sizes (ie ask whether their XL or XXL would fit someone a size 18-22) and got a response to advise that the XXL would def be the best. I also mentioned in the email that I was an F cup. So it arrives yesterday and I try it on, and although it fits in the body - I wouldnt have thought it was an XXL around the bust. The "holes" in the underneath layer for feeding are barely bigger than my nipples and the straps are so thin that they really dont offer much support at all. The clips that hold the singlet to the straps are also very loose and seem to come undone very very easily! I know its a case of "Caveat Emptor" on TM, but thought I would mention it - just incase anyone else is thinking of buying one. BTW - if anyone knows where to buy feeding singlets in bigger sizes - I would love to know! The XL ones at Farmers were too small for my huge boobies!!

Oh I had the same problem with the farmers ones and to make it worse I'm a 10 back size so actually a small everywhere else.
This sounds bad but I bought a farmers one in L and then cut the elastic round the holes - now it's comfy but looks pretty ratty on the underlayer. (I'm a H - I cup) I'm thinking I'll have to get one made especially for me but if you do find one anywhere let me know. -------------

SimSam - I'm trying to contact a local bra shop here to find out the brand of feeding singlets I saw there the other day. Unlike the Farmers one they don't have a hole to insert yourself into, but more of a pull down flap, I'll let you know once I've got more info - ie brand and Auck stockists.
KateW there is a link on the home page under mum/mums in business for 'breastmates'. I recently purchased a top and the service that I got was great. I email about sizing and within days of placing my order it turned up. I ordered a short sleeved basic top which will be great once this little one arrives -------------

I am a 14 G/H at the moment and to be honest I have tried numerous BFing tops and none of them have been any good. The best thing I can recommend is wearing a maternity bra then a boob tube underneath whatever top you want to wear. When you lift up the top your tum etc is covered by the Boob tube and just feed out of the bra like normal. I have spent a small fortune on tops that have sworn to be for bigger busted girls, or extra supportive or better than the rest but none of them have been. ------------- Jen, Charlotte 7 & Kate 3
