Hi All, does anyone have any good recommendations for nursing bras for big boobs (I'm about a G size). I looked in my usual go to which is m&s and they were £45 each! Surely there has to be better value ones out there?!

Were there any nursing bras you found work great for the Eufy S1?

I’m the same size and had the same issue around that time (I’m almost 26 weeks now). I got the 3 pack of Maternique nursing bras and they’re really soft but supportive and comfortable. I even sleep in them sometimes.

Iv bought asdas nursing bras my last two pregnancy’s - always found them comfy.. I’m actually wearing them again this time round as still had them! Iv been looking around at other brands.. but wouldn’t have a clue what size to order as they vary so much.. Did think about getting measured in M&S.. Does anyone know if they still do that? Might see what they have there too x

Also curious about this! Still breastfeeding so I am still using nursing bras, but my boobs have changed so much and will definitely need a good bra with some lift after we wean����

Are there any brands of nursing bras that are supportive and comfortable, but similar to a real bra? I’ve tried all the kindred bravely, motherhood, and Amazon brands that are like sports bras and they’re fine, but I’m sick and tired of the uniboob look lol

@annmomof2, I wear those side pull over nursing bras that are more like a bralette, but this is a good idea I always sleep in a bra because of leaks so maybe that’s a factor! I am a side sleeper as well and don’t know if I could force myself to sleep on my back ��‍��

Another vote for kindred bravely. For pumping I use the kindred bravely line from target and got good nursing bras on their website.

... agree with the bralette over nursing bras, much easier when put in...

Hi all, I have hated wearing the discomfort of wearing a bra all my life and ended up just loving Uniqlo slip on bras (padded but non-wired) for work. Now I’m 36 week pregnant and curious if there are decent non-hurting slip on nursing and pumping bras that you recommend Note: so far I just tried the Momcozy cotton and jelly ones. Hated the broad shoulder strap and back closing hooks. submitted by /u/Repulsive_Ad_3759 to r/NewParents [link] [comments]

Nursing bras are ruining my life. Okay, not really but still, why are they all SO depressing? I'm 4 months postpartum and am almost back to my pre-pregnancy shape, but I still feel completely unattractive—and it has nothing to do with my body — it's 100% the nursing bras. I used to wear beautiful lingerie that made me feel confident. Now I'm permanently stuck in shapeless beige sad-sacks that scream "I've given up" and somehow manage ruin every single outfit I put on. I also tried wearing regular bras and that experiment ended with clogged ducts and the special hell of trying to pump while wearing a normal bra. So now I'm just... stuck? Either my boobs work or I feel like a human being. Apparently I can't have both. Look, I know this is peak first-world problem territory and there are way bigger issues while breastfeeding (I had bad mastitis with fever, twice!). But I've gotten annoyed enough that I'm genuinely thinking about creating what I wish existed while breastfeeding: nursing bras that are actually beautiful and make new mother feel confident and attractive. It could be a terrible business idea. Or maybe I'm onto something? I honestly don't know. So before I spiral too deep into this rabbit hole, I'd love to hear from you and am genuinely curious if this is a shared frustration, or if I am too vain to care about this and have lost the plot entirely! Thanks for indulging in my mini-crisis! submitted by /u/Dry-Definition-6339 to r/breastfeeding [link] [comments]

I swear I've tried almost every brand. Amazon ones- haven't been happy with anything I've gotten on there. I've tried expensive brands and honestly have come up pretty disappointed there too. I'm frustrated because the sizes always are off.. I go by the website sizing and they are always too small😪 I have a small rib cage -32 -but my boobs are huge( before pregnancy I was a DD) I also am picky about fabric because if it's at all itchy or a bad fabric I just can not have that touching me.. so nothing ever fits right or I can't stand how it feels 😭but I'm also tired of these huge milk jugs just flapping around it's literally overstimulating lol. Especially now that they've deflated after the initial months (my baby just turned 4 months today!) Anyone have any good reccs? submitted by /u/littlemoongirly to r/breastfeeding [link] [comments]

I am a VERY modest woman, and with the field I work in it’s also incredibly important to stay modest, and nursing bras are quickly becoming the bane of my existence. Every single nursing bra I’ve purchased seems to be the thickness of tissue paper, and shows nipples outlines. I cannot stand it. To be fair, It’s very much-so a personal preference for me. I don’t care if other women’s nipple outlines show. However, I am wildly self conscious of it and always have been. I have also tried many different types of nursing pads, but they unfortunately have not helped or have had such a thick seam that it makes it even more pronounced. Does anyone have a suggestion for me? Please don’t suggest to “get over it”, because if I could, I would. I am desperate! submitted by /u/loveinlife_cats to r/beyondthebump [link] [comments]

I am not The OOP, OOP is u/throwRA2076 Washing girlfriends undies? Originally posted to r/relationship_advice Original Post - rareddit July 9, 2020 Hey so my gf and I are both 25 (I’m a guy). We have been dating for 3 years, she’s a nurse and has been super busy and stressed lately so she hasn’t really had time to do laundry or her chores. I also work an essential job but I have the next few days off to rest and I wanted to surprise her by cleaning are whole place spotless and doing all of her chores for her. She gets anxious and more stressed when our home is messy but exhaustion has outweighed our desire for cleanliness. So here’s my question, she has a bunch of undies and bras that she washes by hand in the sink, and then air drys, because she hasn’t had time to do it, she’s almost out of clean undies and I thought I’d wash them by hand for her. Just for an extra surprise. But they are intimate items and there are period stains and discharge that needs to be cleaned. It doesn’t really bother me (it’s natural) and I don’t want her to potentially be embarrassed by me cleaning it. So for women or people in relationships, would it be okay for me to do this for her or should I just clean everything else and leave her undies for her to clean? RELEVANT COMMENTS Hadespuppy Definitely ask her first, but that's super sweet of you even to think about doing it. If she does give you the go ahead, here's a tip: cold water. Especially for period stains, hot water will set the stain and it'll never come out. But a good soak in cold water is often all you need. A splash of hydrogen peroxide can help for really stubborn stains as well, just make sure you rinse thoroughly. When you are done, don't wring delicates; it's hard on the fabric and defeats the purpose of hand washing. Instead, you can squeeze, then roll the items in a towel (you can skip this step, but it does get a fair bit of water out) before hanging or laying flat to dry. You're a good partner, she's lucky to have you. WayRong Whenever I've had to hand wash, I have always just automatically wrung them! This might explain why things ended up too saggy and loose afterwards. TIL I've been doing it wrong all these years. Thank you ~ keebee121 hey as a woman I gotta say!! this is super sweet. she’ll definitely appreciate the thought, I’m sure. but just ask first! it might be a little embarrassing for her knowing you went through and saw and did all that, but if she’s notified beforehand she may not feel all too bad as long as she’s aware you don’t mind whatever. being a girl has a lot of shitty downsides and it’s always cool knowing that our S/O’s don’t mind things like that. OOP Thank you for commenting. The consensus is to ask so I’m gonna ask her before I do it. It’ll ruin the surprise aspect of it a bit but I also just bought her a new heating pad because hers broke last week so that’ll be a good enough surprise (I hope). She’s just been under a lot of stress lately and I’m trying to help out as much as possible. But she’s also my first actual relationship and we’ve only been living together a few months so it’s all a bit new to me. kateykmck Oh honey you are doing so good. You keep chugging away doing what you're doing and I think things should work out just fine. You seem like a really sweet man. Good luck going forward and hope you both have long, happy lives together! OOP Thanks you! I’m planning on proposing at some point after everything calms down. I was gonna do it in June (we had a vacation planned to Peru) but are vacation days were cancelled and we were forced to stay and work. So hopefully this helps her feel appreciated and loved. ~ pacificspinylump Personally (as a woman), I would be less worried about being embarrassed about the underwear and more worried about my husband accidentally doing it wrong and messing them up somehow (if it’s something she generally washes by hand she probably cares about them and they might be high maintenance laundry-wise ). I think it’s a sweet gesture but doesn’t necessarily need to be a surprise, I would appreciate it if my husband told me he wanted to do this and asked how first. Then I could just check it off my mental list without worrying about them. Update 1 - Same Day/Same Post Quick update: Thank you all for your responses, I really appreciate it and upvoted all your posts. I texted her asking if it was okay and she said “thank you, that would be really nice but you don’t have to do it, I know most guys find it groady, so it’s okay I can do it myself” so I took this as a yes and starting soaking them in cold water with soap as a lot of you suggested (thanks for that, I was gonna do warm/hot water and I definitely was probably gonna ring them out so I owe you guys). I know she’s had some crappy experiences with previous boyfriends being grossed out and making her feel bad (which is super fucked) so I really just want to do what I can to make her feel loved and supported and all that gushy stuff so that she knows she never has to feel ashamed or embarrassed for being her. Thank you all again for your advice. You’re all amazing! Second update: I know it’s soon but holy crap this blew up fast. First I want to say thank you amazing Redditor’s for the awards and all the kind words. Secondly, it’s truly heartbreaking how many people said they cried or wish they had someone like this, or that more men should be like this. I want to apologize on behalf of men who have let women down in that department (as well as a lot of other departments). It’s so fucked that you have to go through something that you don’t get a choice in and that so many people make you feel gross or lesser for it, I’m sorry you’ve all had to experience that. I know there is a lot of really important discussions happening right now and I wouldn’t want to take away from them but at the same time #teachkidssexed #Bloodyundies&unashamed #Natchyisbeauty #Bedecent #stopshamingstartwashing. Also, I did wash/soak them in a sink and yes I thoroughly washed the sink before I cleaned the undies, they’re currently hanging to dry and the bras are soaking. Natchy=natural. You’re all amazing, thank you so much!!! RELEVANT COMMENTS Nimphaise This post makes me feel like I’ve been abusing my underwear The-Cosmic-Ghost Right? I just put it in the wash on cold and theres people out here with specific soaps and bags specifically made to put underwear in when you wash them in a machine 😷 they're on some next level stuff and I'm taking notes ~ howyadoinjerry Jeez you sound like a great guy! I just throw all my delicates in the wash on cool and pray so I don’t have any real advice, but I’m sure she’ll appreciate the extra care you’re putting into this! Have a good day my dude! OOP I just laughed for a good several minutes at the thought of someone throwing their undies in the wash and doing a bunch of Hail Marys and the cross gesture in front of their face so thank you!! Final Update - Same Day/Same Post Final update: so she came home to a clean place and all her undies clean. She was really happy, first time I’ve seen her smile in a week so that made me happy. It’s taking me a while but I’m trying to give/use all the coins I’ve gotten to give awards to the best comments. And thank all of you for your support. I had moments where I regretted posting because people were messaging me to insult me or just to be really gross. But with all the support, I’m standing by what I said, if someone has a problem with it, then they can deal with it themselves. Thank you all again for all your advice, awards, and support.

Looking for recs for good wireless nursing bras. I don't really care what they look like at this point. Looking for full coverage as the ladies are giant right now and I am having trouble finding bras that offer coverage even when bent over. It seems like every time I bend down there are boobs spilling in all directions. Again, really looking for support over style. For context I am normally 36C, but through pregnancy/PP more like D/DD. Any tips would be greatly appreciated! I have tried shapermint, knix and la vien rose. EDIT: looking for Canadian recs ❤️ submitted by /u/alyssacruise to r/breastfeeding [link] [comments]

Pre-pregnancy, I struggled to find bras that fit me. I’m small in the band size, big in the cup size. My breasts have already gotten bigger in the first trimester. I am thinking of buying nursing bras because they will be useful later and should be designed to be for larger cups and smaller bands. But online the sizings don’t seem to match that expectation. Are there brands yall like? Thanks for any help!! submitted by /u/Maximum-End-7629 to r/BabyBumps [link] [comments]

I don’t plan on leaving my house much once the baby is here. So I’m wondering if nursing bras are necessary or just another advertisement I’m getting shown of “things expecting moms need”. Any insight is much appreciated! TIA Edit: Oope I was wrong, you all have me convinced in the powers of the nursing bra. Haha. Thanks so much. submitted by /u/chattanoogaugh to r/BabyBumps [link] [comments]

FTM 34 weeks and I am really struggling with my pregnancy breasts. Prior to pregnancy my breasts were a 34C so I primarily wore cotton light bralettes with the occasional one cotton pushup bra for specific clothes. I absolutely despise bras and literally anything around my chest. It makes me super claustrophobic and I feel like I can't breathe (I'm in my 30s and hated bras since day one lol). Believe me I have gone in to be sized correctly and I just hate the sensation of something on my chest. If I wear a bra too I hate anything itchy and polyester because I sweat so much. This hasn't been a great experience considering now my breasts are gigantic and I can't exactly not wear a bra anymore. Really not having much luck with maternity/nursing bras. Everything I try is polyester or some elastic type thing like sports bras. So far in pregnancy I got one I got from Momcozy which is the one bra I wear but I am desperate to remove it asap when I can so I hate it so much. I also cannot tolerate that it's polyester. It doesn't fit me right at all and I just sweat. The sizing is so wrong on me. I got a Large and the maximum band feels like it's suffocating me and the breasts are too small and swimming in the cups. I basically have managed to get away the entire pregnancy with a tank under loose sweaters as much as possible otherwise just to avoid bras. I hear I need some bras for postpartum for sure though so I really need to get some. Any bra suggestions for nursing? Ideally something light support, comfortable, and preferably cotton. submitted by /u/chronicillylife to r/BabyBumpsCanada [link] [comments]

TW for mentions of SA but I will keep it very brief and minimum detail. TLDR; looking for nursing bras or other options that will not be tight or compressing on my chest. Hi lovelies, I’ve just recently learned I am pregnant and I am so excited to be starting this journey. I am REALLY hoping to EBF but know that I am going to have some unique-ish issues. Unfortunately, I was SA’d daily as a teen for a couple years. I won’t go into detail on that, it’s just important context for why this is an issue for me. A major trigger for me is compression on my chest. I have had years and years of therapy and healing but that’s one trigger I’ve never been able to get over. I haven’t worn ANY bra in like five years. Very occasionally I will wear a loose fitting sports bra to workout in but usually I just opt for a tank top under a tshirt. I am rather small-chested so I usually don’t have many issues with going without. Occasionally I’ll wear pasties if I’m worried about pokey nips. That said, I don’t want to walk around leaking all over and my mom and sisters all went up like 3+ sizes while pregnant and breastfeeding, so I find it likely I will want some support. A little bit TMI possibly, but I don’t have issues with my husband touching/squeezing my breasts/nips so I am hopeful that the actual feeding part will be manageable. We do plan to have a small stock of formula before baby is born just in case it isn’t doable for me. Even if I don’t breastfeed though, I expect I’m going to at least have some period of time where I’m large and leaky. So I’m coming to the experienced to ask for recommendations that will give me a little bit of support and hold nip pads so I don’t leak but NOT be tight on the chest. Tight across my breasts is the worst, but I don’t get along super well with tight bands or straps either. Does anything exist that might work for me? Does anyone else have experience with this specific situation and can provide tips for how to prepare/make it easier? Thanks in advance, everyone! Edit: Wow, I was not expecting so many answers and so much outpouring of love! I’m not sure I’ll be able to get around to replying to everyone so if I don’t get to you, thank you so much!! I am definitely going to be looking into some of the suggestions and I definitely will consider going without entirely. Everything I’d been seeing made it seem like nursing bras are super necessary (I suppose probably partially because they are for some people and partially to sell us more things 😅). I feel so much better about it all already. You all are so wonderful!! submitted by /u/YellowTonkaTrunk to r/breastfeeding [link] [comments]

I am NOT OOP, OOP is u/Salt_Leg_7235 Originally posted to r/AITAH AITA for refusing to listen to my husband about my breasts? Trigger Warnings: emotional abuse and manipulation, verbal abuse, controlling behavior, depression, mentions of suicidal ideation Original Post: September 20, 2025 AITA for refusing to listen to my husband? I want to have a breast reduction surgery. I will not be asking him to spend any money on me. We both work and we put aside equal amount of money for private accounts for private savings and spendings so please do not make it about money. I have been talking about this surgery since I turned 40 but I have dreamed about it since I was 15. Whenever I spoke about it he would sit silent and listen (supported me I thought) then he asked if I wanted him to go to my first consultation and I was very happy. Consultations are usually private here but he wanted to tag along for the first part of the consultation. When I talked to the doctor (who is an internationally respected doctor) my husband sat silent at first then he asked when the psychological evaluation would happen. The doctor was puzzled and explained that I am an adult. My husband got irritated and almost yelled ”so you would not mind operating on people with body dysmorphia. The doctor and nurse were shocked and I was livid. When we got home I was destroyed. I am scared I have lost my opportunity with the best surgeon in the country and probably one of the best in the world. My husband insisted I needed therapy and that he will not allow me to have the surgery because I look perfect. I asked him what he meant ”not allowing me” I was very angry and crying. He said ”well, I will do anything, tell your family you are mentally unstable and I will leave you” Thankfully I made a new appointment and the doctor was too kind. I have my new appointment on Wednesday. My husband is livid and said he will never look at or touch me again. Edit: Please if you ask about my account. I am a Redditor but this subject I want to discuss in private and not in my usual subs. So this is not a bot Edit again: our ages are me 42 and he 40. If this is important AITAH has no consensus bot, OOP was NTA Relevant Comments Commenter 1: Do you have any mental health issues? OOP: Yes. I have depression and have had suicidal ideation (turned to passive now) Edit: but it has nothing to do with breasts or appearance Does OOP have physical health issues that are giving her issues? OOP: No, just cosmetic. No health issues. I don’t like big breasts. Commenter 2: NTA. Firstly, I would bring it up to your family before he could. Whether its mom or grandma or even you dad or sibling. Get their thoughts first on the situation with your husband. Second, I suggest couples therapy. I wouldn't worry about individual therapy; you have been sure about this for years. Meet up with the doctor again without your husband to redo the consultation. Question - has he ever acted like this to something before, like a minor change you make to yourself or around you? OOP: No, never but then again this is the first time I want to alter my body with surgery. I know he thinks botox etc is gross and he has expressed that clearly but I have already told him that if I wanted to do it in the future he can keep his opinion to himself. Of course now I know his silence is just him biding his time. Because he has been silent every time I talk about breast surgery, until it was becoming real. Commenter 3: What if you needed a mastectomy? Would he be pissed off that you lost your breasts? Is he silently implying that he only loves you for the size of your chest? And most people only go down to a C cup, which is still plenty. You are definitely not the AH. I think your husband is the one with issues about your body. OOP: I asked him and he said it was a ridiculous comparison because one is life saving and one is vanity. Well, yeah he called me stupid making this ridiculous comparison Commenter 4: You might lose an extra couple hundred pounds in emotional baggage along with the extra breast tissue, and I could consider that to be a good thing. Men truly don't understand what it's like to have large breasts. Commenter 5: This. Your body, your choice. He's allowed to be bothered by it - he does like you and your body the way you are. He's allowed to leave if he can't handle it. But you don't have to tolerate him being a dick about it. Wanting a reduction isn't mental illness - I'd wager you've got a larger than average bust (even by american standards), and that comes with back pain, expensive and hard to find bras that wear out far too quickly, ill-fitting clothing, boob-sweat, social stigma or fetishization, and who the hell knows what else (I'm a dude and, much as I might want, not an expert on boobs). He's way off base about that - and threatening to lie to the people around you is completely uncool. Kick him out until he gets his shit together - OR ELSE. OOP: Well I have severe depression and I have lived with it my entire life but it is more complicated that pinpointing one thing and wanting a surgery is absolutely not a mental illness. If anything my depression got worse after I was cornered by classmates in high school who wanted me to flash. He brought this up with the doctor as “evidence” that I was mentally unwell Why does OOP's husband think his opinion of her body should outweigh her own opinion? OOP: He said because plastic surgery is addictive and since I have mental health problems it must be therefore I want to change my body. And of course he admitted that he thinks my body is beautiful and shouldn’t be altered and they’re not that big to begin with Commenter 6: How big they are after all, OP? I'm not asking to say your wish is not valid, I did this surgery myself, I just want to understand how much of an AH your husband is. OOP: 75E-F (editor's note: chest size is in the Euro numbers, 34DD-DDD is the approximately same size in USA)   Update: September 21, 2025 (next day) My husband said if I went ahead with surgery he wanted a separation (update) So Yesterday I was here complaining about my husband and my gut feelings were right after seeing the reactions here that. My husband is crossings a boundary by trying to control bow my body looks. So this morning I told him this. He just sat silently and listened to me. Then he said that he wasn’t trying to control me or coerce me but at the same breath he said he loved my body and if I am not taking his opinions into consideration then he knows that I don’t care about his opinion. He would not look at me the same way or touch me. I said that I didn’t want to be married to someone who doesn’t want to touch me and he said that then we won’t be married. “But remember that I love you and you are breaking up with a man who loves you because of superficial changes I want to do to my body. He would stay for the recovery then he moves out after Christmas. I said I was going ahead with my surgery and he just shook his head. He cried later in the garden. I can’t believe him. He sounds final like he has been thinking about divorce for a while. I have been waiting for this surgery for 2.5 years because of how busy this doctor is. And my preliminary surgery day is in November. I have consultation soon. I am going ahead with my plans and he can go with his. According to him if I am free to choose what I do with my body, he is free to leave when it doesn’t suit him anymore. Ps: many are asking about the surgery and it is breast reduction. And no I am not doing it for medical reasons since I have no back or head pains. I am not that ”big” to have these problems. It is purely cosmetic. This is the most important part of my beef with him. I know you mean well bringing up health benefits but this is about my rights to control how I look. He would 100% have supported me if it was for medical reasons because he has in the past Thanks Relevant Comments OOP clarifies the reason for the surgery OOP: I have no medical reasons for this surgery. It is just for cosmetic reasons. I am only saying this because for me the reasons shouldn’t matter. He would probably side with me if it was a medical condition but his issue is that it is just cosmetic. My issue is that I want to be able to decide how I look + Because he has read that the recovery could take time. Yes I know about the scars. I am thinking more about my appearance with clothes on. Less unwanted attention at work. I am very sensitive to be described as she with the big (gest of big breasts) and a grin. I have talked about the scars with my doctor and they have come a long way with minimizing the look. I have after my c section that looks fine Commenter 1: I mean, yeah, he IS 100% free to leave, like you’re free to do your surgery. That’s just how life is Commenter 2: The issue is more that he’s giving her this inappropriate ultimatum and then making it out to be that SHE is choosing her reduction over him. He should have never forced the choice. Commenter 3: Oh, he’s definitely going to spin it that she’s the reason for the divorce. And how horrible, he just can’t love her if her breasts are smaller. God forbid she ever gets breast cancer because in his eyes that would be scarring her body for nothing too. OOP: He made it clear that I will be the reason because he said I hope you can live with yourself Is OOP in therapy? OOP: I am in therapy since childhood. My husband does not want couples counseling. He wants a psych evaluation . Anyway he is getting his wishes since I got an email from the nurse about booking an appointment for evaluation before surgery. I agreed. He always wins. OOP responds to a downvoted comment about having the surgery for vanity, but not health reasons OOP: My reasons might be silly to you but I am tired of wearing loose clothes all the time. And here’s a small example of something that happens more than I care for: We wear uniforms at work. Our clients are 99% men. Even if the shirt is modest, many om the men don’t wven realize that they are taking alternate looks at the chest area and actually the face while they’re talking. My office has a glass wall and near the reception desk. One time I heard one client talk to the guys at the reception about having an appointment and he wasn’t sure of my name so he with a grin said you know she with…. Then he made a big breasts gestures and both he and the receptionist laughed and both did the gesture again. I know this is a problem not exclusive to me. I know it is a problem every woman has faced but it doesn’t mean that because it happens to everyone that I cant find it seriously hurtful.   DO NOT COMMENT IN LINKED POSTS OR MESSAGE OOPs – BoRU Rule #7 THIS IS A REPOST SUB - I AM NOT OOP submitted by /u/Choice_Evidence1983 to r/BestofRedditorUpdates [link] [comments]

Hi everyone This is my first baby and I’m due in January. I’m starting to shop for postpartum essentials, and I’m stuck on the nursing bras…. how many do I realistically need to buy? Do most moms rotate just a couple, or is it better to have a bigger stash since laundry will be constant? And while I’m at it, which brands do you recommend for comfort and support? Any advice from your own experience would be super helpful! 🙏 submitted by /u/Fluffy-Lead6201 to r/NewParents [link] [comments]

Don’t be a dummy and fall for the ads like I did. It’s a cheap Chinese fast fashion company and the sizes are about 2 smaller despite the website saying to order your “pre pregnancy” size. They don’t offer exchanges for sizes only a 30% refund or 40% off purchasing another size. If you’d like to return you can pay more than what you did for the bra, so there’s that.

Hello! I’m currently 29 weeks with my first baby. This is all very new to me and I have no idea what I’m doing. I’m trying to get myself prepared with a hospital bag and stuff for the first month, and I’m not sure how to approach nursing bras. I literally never wear a bra at home, and I spend most of my time at home. If I’m out with my friends or family at peoples homes I don’t mind having my boob somewhat exposed to nurse. If I’m at a social event or running errands, sometimes I wear a bra and sometimes I don’t. So- do I need a ton of nursing bras? Is just one fine? Will I find myself uncomfortable without a bra after birth, even if I’m fine without one now? Do they have uses/ benefits that I don’t understand? My basic understanding of nursing bras is that they let you more easily/discreetly breastfeed while wearing a bra. Should I get nursing tanks instead? Should I wait until after I give birth and see what I need instead of buying in advance? Any advice would be appreciated!! Edit: Thank you SO much for the responses! It seems that leaking is the aspect I hadn’t considered, so thank you! submitted by /u/lvs301 to r/breastfeeding [link] [comments]

Does anyone have any good bra brand recommendations for nursing (the ones with the handy clips?) I’m early on in my pregnancy but I’ve grown out of my usual bras, so think I may as well get a couple of comfy ones that are also nursing-friendly. I’m finding that it’s hard to find ones with my back size (30). I’ve got one in a 32D that fits right now, with lots of clips at the back from laredoute. This size seems to sell out quickly though! I’m also quite picky about them being mostly cotton, not the seamless synthetic fabric that seems to be everywhere, so that’s narrowing the search a bit. There are a couple at M&S that fit the bill but they’re not the prettiest! Kind of want to treat myself 🫣 submitted by /u/restless-researcher to r/PregnancyUK [link] [comments]

I am NOT OOP. OOP is u/ineedabra14 Originally posted to r/relationships My dad (36M) won't get me (14F) a bra, and I need one... Trigger Warnings: misogyny, death of a parent, cancer, emotional neglect, bullying Original Post: October 2, 2015 My dad (36M) won't get me (14F) a bra, and I need one... My mom got breast cancer and died when I was a year old, I don't remember her. My father moved across the country immediately after that and we've moved around a few times since. I don't have any other family, and my dad hasn't had any girlfriends or anything that I know of. My dad doesn't really get girl stuff. I got my period when I was 9 and he didn't believe me, he thought I was too young. I didn't want to show him underwear with blood on it so for a few years I put toilet paper in my pants. He got me pads and stuff when I turned 12. He doesn't really buy me girly clothes either, and I have super tangled curly hair but I use his shampoo, so my hair is always frizzy. I kinda look like a boy and boys have called me names before. It kinda sucks, but my dad means well. We don't have the money for all new clothes anyway. I'm a freshman in high school so now we dress out for PE. Girls started staring at me in the locker rooms because, well, I developed early too. I used to just wear tank tops but now it's kinda gotten past that point. Now I've been wearing my gym clothes under my normal clothes but it gets really warm that way. I asked him if we could go bra shopping and he said I was too young. I don't have any women in my life to ask. I'm new to this school so teachers don't know me either. Is there a way I can hide my boobs better? Is there a way I can talk to my dad? tl;dr: Dad won't buy me a bra because he says I'm too young, but I need one. Relevant Comments Commenter 1: Go to your PE teacher, a woman if you have one. Tell her you need a sports bra but your dad won't buy you one, and ask if she would please send you home with a note telling him you need one. OOP: My PE teacher is a man and not really nice. He doesn't believe us if we say we have period cramps. I mean, some girls fake but some of us have it really bad and he just makes us run extra laps. Commenter 1: Then speak to a female teacher you trust. I know you said they don't know you, but there's bound to be one that will help. If not, just march up to your Dad and tell him that he was wrong about your period, he's wrong about the bra, his grief over your mother is not a good reason to refuse to acknowledge you're going through puberty, and right now you are a 14 year old girl who needs a bra so will he PLEASE get over himself and take you to buy a bra already? OOP: I can't be rude like that to my dad. He's my dad. I don't think it has anything to do with my mom because he doesn't even talk about her ever. I'll ask a random teacher. Maybe they'll be nice about it. Commenter 2: Get someone with authority he'll listen to (like a health teacher maybe? or your doctor) explain to him that it's not about your age, it's about your body, and your body is developing and he cannot ignore that like he's been doing. OOP: I could bring it up with my doctor, thanks. I'm not due for a checkup for a while though, and I can't go there myself. Has OOP spoke with her father about her mom and if there are any pictures of her? OOP: I mean, there aren't any pictures of her anywhere. He doesn't talk about the past at all. I don't even know how they met or why they named me what they did. If I bring her up he doesn't get sad, he gets grumpy. Commenter 3: I don't think it has anything to do with my mom because he doesn't even talk about her ever. He doesn't talk about your mother because he hasn't processed his grief about her death (especially a death related to breast cancer). This is why he's in denial about you going through puberty. Just so that you know, it is neglectful for him to not purchase feminine products for you during your period. I think you should consider seeing a counselor at school. Commenter 4: She also says she has never even seen a photo of her mother and that she has no family at ALL apart from her dad. I don't know, something seems really off about that to me. It goes beyond trouble dealing with grief. OOP: My dad just didn't take anything with him when he left with me. I probably have family on my mom's side but I've never met them. There's no one on my dad's side either. I think he just wanted to start over. How long were OOP's parents together before her mother's passing? OOP: I think I remember someone saying they met in high school. So a long time. OOP on her family tree OOP: Yeah, my dad's an orphan and an only child, and he just moved away from where he and my mom used to live so I don't know anything about that side of the family. I've tried googling her before but I haven't gotten much.   Update: October 10, 2015 (eight days later) I tried talking to my dad one more time and he was still not willing to listen. He even got kind of irritated this time and told me to worry about my studies and less about boys (I didn't even mention boys). I thought about asking the school nurse but she's honestly intimidating so I asked my math teacher after class. She was really, really nice about it. I trusted her so much that I told her everything about my dad and my dead mom and how lonely I felt, and she was really helpful. She said her dad was in the military and she understood moving around a lot. She told me to stay after school today and she took me to Target. Before we left she gave me a tape measure and told me how to measure myself for a bra so I did that in the bathroom (turns out I'm a 32D). She bought me bras, curly hair shampoo/conditioner, and a book on puberty and stuff. She asked if I wanted feminine clothes too but I said no thank you, she was already so generous. My dad saw the stuff and he got really mad at me. I told him my teacher bought it and he said I shouldn't be blabbing to strangers and accepting their money. I thought he was going to take my stuff away but he just sort of gave up and went outside to smoke. So, I have bras now, but my dad's still really upset with me. I haven't been able to sleep much tonight. He's never yelled at me before and I feel awful. tl;dr: Nice math teacher bought me bras and other items, dad got mad about it and is still mad Relevant Comments OOP responds to a deleted comment regarding her math teacher OOP: She's so nice, I know. I didn't think she even noticed me in class because I sit in the back and don't talk. Commenter 1: Your teacher is just wonderful. I remain suspicious about your dad though. (No contact with other family, no pics of your mum etc) I am glad your immediate needs are met. Table care and I hope you make some friends at school. OOP: I wanted to talk about my mom more but my dad is obviously not in the mood. I don't know if I'll ask about her again. I'm fine with my dad and I just want him to be happy again. I've never really had any friends since we move so often, but maybe I'll give it a try this time if they stop laughing at me. Can OOP get a job to save some money for her personal needs? OOP: I'm not old enough for a job, and he doesn't pay me for chores. If we stay here long enough I'll see if I can meet people and start babysitting. Commenter 2: Listen, I'm really sorry to have to say this but this is not ok. Your dad's behaviour is disgraceful a do might even say abusive. He's denying you things that you NEED, not luxuries, not wants, NEED. I looked back, and seeing he didn't allow you pads or tampons when you needed them made me furious on your behalf. This is going to, probably already has, impact your life in a negative way. Your dad isn't thinking like a rational caring parent. Mentioning boys, berating you for actually talking to someone, all raise red flags in my mind. I don't want to distresss you, and I don't want to make things worse, but maybe you should try talking to your teacher again. Explain everything that's going on and maybe also see your counciller. Your dad needs to change his behaviour, but you're still a kid and it's clear he won't listen to you. Get an adult on side to speak up for you. OOP: I don't want to talk to the counselor. He's a man and I think he's only there for college prep stuff, I'm not really comfortable with him. I don't think my dad is a bad guy, I just want him to be happy again and blabbing to more people will only break his trust. Commenter 3: You did good OP. You're going to have to replace those bras at some point and you might need more help in the future. Do ask a friendly adult again in such case. If your dad isn't taking care of you properly, he needs to be confronted with that. He can deny all he wants, he's not going to stop your growth. So either he adapts and starts buying you bras or stays mad. But you need that stuff, so let him be mad. If he denies you pads, tell your teacher again. Because that might be bordering on neglect and abusive territory. OOP: He does buy me pads now, he started doing that when I was 12. I'll take good care of these bras so I won't need new ones for a long time.   Editor’s note: Marking this inconclusive as OOP hasn’t updated in nearly 10 years now   DO NOT COMMENT IN LINKED POSTS OR MESSAGE OOPs – BoRU Rule #7 THIS IS A REPOST SUB - I AM NOT OOP submitted by /u/Choice_Evidence1983 to r/BestofRedditorUpdates [link] [comments]

Ok people, please help me out here. I have an impossible task. I’m pregnant with baby #2 and am in search of the “probably doesn’t exist” nursing friendly bra. Facts: I don’t need a ton of support, I’m not large chested, I hate bras but I like having a bit of shape/support so I am not nipping out and leaking all over the place. I breastfed my first baby for almost 2 years and know exactly what I do and don’t like bra wise. Here’s what I have and have tried: Kindred bravery cross in front unlined bra: HATED. It was too tight and made me feel itchy. Not stretchy enough. The mom something or other bra you can get on Amazon: Actually don’t mind this one for non nursing use! It is very comfortable and the straps don’t fall down for once in my life. However, the clasps are a NO for me for those first few months of CONSTANT nursing. Also, harder to use in public. If the bra has clasps/clips or anything like that, it‘s a NO. The cheapy cross over unlined amazon ones that come in a million different brands and colors: These have been the best I can get for my $$$. I like that they are very stretchy, no clips, straps don’t fall down. I HATE the fabric. It’s like a spandex/polyester blend and makes me feel frumpy and gross. Sometimes makes me itch. Target: If it has an elastic band underneath, it’s probably going to make me sweaty and itchy. I’ve tried a few bralette’s from Target and don’t like the thick, tight elastic bands. What I am looking for: Something with very stretchy, SOFT, luxe fabric. Not too tight, but snug or thick enough to keep the nipple-age under control. Doesn’t even need to technically be a bra. I’m open to anything. No clips or clasps could be crossed style in front, or deep V, or Deep scoop neck Something that doesn’t make me feel so frumpy and like a sad, leaking cow. I want to nurse in LUXURY and not be in some sad, piling, amazon bra with fabric that makes that really horrible feeling/sound when you rub it. Does anyone know what I’m talking about?? I don’t even care what it costs at this point. WHERE ARE THESE BRAS AND WHY CAN’T I FIND THEM Sorry for the pregnancy rage, and thank you for your help. edit: Thank you for so many responses! feel free to keep them rolling. I'm going to meticulously go through all these suggestions over the next week or so and place some orders. I WILL be updating this post with my reviews for those of you who are interested! Edit: Ok, after much research I tried 2 bras (anyone want to sponsor me??) As these things are SO EXPENSIVE. Skin to skin, Hatch: LOVE. No complaints other than the price. I wish I could buy more. Only thing is I wish they were a bit cuter...like came in different colors other than black and beige, but alas. Absolutely amazing and so comfy. Blush bralettes: specifically the cottom ribbed bralettes. Very comfy, and very cute. I really really want to try the Allie Bra, bodily, and the Larken, but I have to readjust my budget for those unfortunately. Edit 2: I acquired the Allie Bra second hand. It's fine, but I wouldn't pay full price for what it is. This bra from Amazon is almost IDENTICAL and a fraction of the cost. A good nursing option as you can just pull it down! https://a.co/d/5QSB7II submitted by /u/FrequentGovernment74 to r/breastfeeding [link] [comments]

I absolutely hate wearing bras in my every day life. I work from home, so I literally get away without wearing a bra the majority of my time. If I absolutely need one I’ll wear tighter crop tanks or a bralette type. For context, I’m a B cup. I am due mid June and the idea of wearing a nursing bra in this heat sounds awful. I know sometimes people can leak quite a bit but how necessary is it to actually have a nursing bra? The goal is to breast feed the first couple of weeks and then to start pumping as well so spouse can do feeds too. I know nursing tanks are a thing and am considering those, but I really just live in oversized sweaters and tshirts. Any and all help/advice/talk some common sense into me kind of thing would be so helpful- I just feel really lost with this particular aspect. submitted by /u/WordsyFern to r/breastfeeding [link] [comments]

FTM and I don’t wear a bra 90% of the time, even with 36DD. I see endless ads for nursing bras and so many recommendations for them but I don’t want to waste my money when I don’t wear bras anyway? Especially at home? But is this feasible with the leaking? Love input from people who specifically also never wear bras lol submitted by /u/mspixton to r/pregnant [link] [comments]

Pre pregnancy I was a 34GG in UK sizing, now idk what I am but I’m definitely bigger than that. Does anyone have recommendations for lounge-y nursing bras for larger busts that won’t break the bank? A lot of what I’m seeing is straight small medium large sizing which is fine except those usually just squish my boobs and aren’t tight enough around my ribs. submitted by /u/Teaandterriers to r/ABraThatFits [link] [comments]

Pumping bras, sleeping bras, bralettes, clips…I just cannot take another Instagram ad. I was a 32DD pre-pregnancy, so I do generally wear an actual bra but I don’t think I’ll need anything architecturally unusual. Planning to breastfeed but also expecting to pump to transition back to work. What bras did you actually wear and like during this stage and how many of them did you get? submitted by /u/mhck to r/BabyBumps [link] [comments]
