Check your tags ladies, what brands do you have?? I haven't been happy with any of mine and I am ready to go above just picking them up at Pennies or motherhood maternity.
Can anyone suggest a good company to look into? I think the only thing I hate about BF is having to constantly be in bras. It would be almost worth it to sleep topless on a bunch of towels if I didn't care about wasting breastmilk Please help!
I also have the bras from Motherhood, and I am NOT happy with them, but they are what I have so I use them. I don't like shopping for clothes, especially undergarments
I've heard Victoria's Secret has come out with a nursing bra, and the reviews I've heard have been glowing. I am planning on going sometime to get measured as well. You don't have to buy anything for them to measure you, and almost all women are mistaken on what their true bra size is. I'm certain that I don't know the correct size to buy, because NONE of my bras are comfy at all! I think knowing the right size might also make even the cheap Motherhood bras work better!
I also have two nursing tanks with built in bras from Target, and normally I don't wear built-in bras because I have a good sized chest, and when I'm full I need a LOT of support, but I really really like the target tanks! I wear them under a lot of my shirts (I am modest and prefer higher necklines than what most shirts have, so I would be wearing some kind of undershirt anyway) I don't wear an extra bra with them, and they give me plenty of support and comfort!

Thank You, Pattyandthemoos, for my beautiful siggy!
Thanks Jess, I had no idea VS made nursing bras. I imagine I am due for a fitting myself as my body is deff different than it was 8 months ago when I bought all my bras
I had the HARDEST time finding a nursing bra that fit me! I ended up with this one: http://www.birthandbeyond.com/lemystere.html (but it's the new version, with more cotton and less lace).
I LOVE IT!
Where in Washington do you live? I'd be more than happy to help you find a good bra supplier, if you want.
I looooove Bravado Origional. It was a little expensive, but they are extremely well-made and comfortable. Its sort of like a sports bra, but without the "uni-boob" effect, lol.
I find that tanks with built in bra's for nursing work best for me. I have ginormas boobs right now though and I cant seem to find a nursing bra in my size.
I heard that VS was discontinuing the nursing bras because they weren't selling well, but I could be wrong. I remember a bunch of ladies on my PR were complaining about them not fitting well also.
I have some from Motherhood, but only like one of them. I also have some from Target that are pretty good and fit well.
eta: i just googled and VS nursing bras *were* discontinued but apparently they got a lot of letters and so they are now selling 2 versions again. they used to sell about 7 versions.

Well lookie there, they're back! I got a black lacy one from VS when they had them out last year, unfortunately, it doesn't fit right now.
I have all Motherhood bras besides that, so I can't help much.
I wonder if they have VS nursing bras in the stores again, I could use a new one, my Motherhood ones have been used for over 2 1/2 years and are on thier way out.

I go braless quite a bit.. I only use a bra when I go out. The nursing bras I do use are just cheapies from Zellers here in Canada likely wonderbra brand name. (Maybe that's why I don't wear bra's much?) LOL!
They seem like they would have the best selection/sizes.
If you're ever in Seattle, Birth & Beyond is the most wonderful shop. They sell everything for crunchy mamas. Nursing bras, wraps, Cloth Diapers, books, etc.
I still can't get over referring to myself as 'crunchy' even though I am very ap. It's up there with 'hippy' in my mind for some reason and I am the farthest thing from a hippy. lol.. Dang Olympia made me conservative! LOL
