Hi,

Does anyone know of any?

Chloe is 8 months now and I'm quite a generous cup size and am sick to the back teeth of rubbish bras offering no support!

So thought I'd see if I could get one thats underwired and doesn't make me look saggy boobed!

TIA

Hiya!

They do exist! I just make my own though as works out cheaper! Here's a couple:

http://www.bloomingmarvellous.co.uk/product.aspx?CategoryID=bf-bras&ProductID=13075_13076&language=en-GB

Here's the instructions to do conversion. It's not that hard. If you're bigger I'd go for this tbh as the D-ish cup anita one I bought wasn't immensely supportive:

Actually, I've just started wearing normal underwired bras and just pulling the cup down to get me boob out and not bothered about conversion.

Sorry brief post! Supposed to making a lego pirate ship!

FB me if you wanna *talk* more!

Hi

As feeding bras go, I'm quite impressed with the shape I get from a freya dotty feeding bra. Its a big size as I'm a 14GG but it is very supportive and your boobs look quite good. Have you been properly fitted? The normal adage is to go down a back size and up a cup size to the bra you are currently wearing, and you are more likely to be in the right bra size. Eg if you are normally wearing a 36E, try a 34F and see if it gives a better shape.

Hi Tamsin,

Yes I've been measured and fitted at a proper bra shop. I've always been an odd size was 30F before kids and now I'm measuring 30H. I've tried a few styles of nursing bras but they only last a few weeks before the band gives and ends up cutting in to me. Very annoying!

Going to give the kit Alyson linked to and get a proper fitting wired bra.

Thanks for your reply.

Love

Heather x
