Does anyone BF and not wear nursing bras?
I swear, I can't do it anymore! I love BFing, am having an easy time doing it - feel like I could do it forever. But if I have to spend another month in these saggy bras, I swear I'm going to die! I have bought plenty of different bras, including the bravado ones everyone raves about, and I still feel like I have grandma boobs in all of them!
I hardly ever nurse in public and when I do it's always under a nursing cover - can I wear a regular bra and just unhook it and pull it up every time?

Re: Does anyone BF and not wear nursing bras?
I wore regular. I needed tons of support and underwire...I felt like without that I had man boobs.

I only wear my in the house cause its easier and I don't care what I look like. When I go out I wear my normal bra with wire.

Re: Does anyone BF and not wear nursing bras?
I found one at Destination Maternity that actually looks good on me! It has molded cups and underwire, it's the only nursing bra that doesn't look hideous under clothes. I wear that or a regular bra when I go out.
Around the house I wear the regular no underwire nursing bras that look awful. They're a lot more comfortable though and I read that underwires are not good while you're BF'ing becuase they can lead to clogged ducts.

Re: Does anyone BF and not wear nursing bras?
I wore them but they weren't even necessary. I never leaked that much. I also didn't BF in public.

When I breastfed I wore regular bra. I felt that the extra support is needed!

Re: Does anyone BF and not wear nursing bras?
If you find a supportive bra you love, these people can turn it into a nursing bra, I was considering doing it, because I need a lot of support, but ended up finding Anita brand bras, and they are the best nursing bras on the planet.
I went to their location on Madison (not Lexington) Ave, in the city, and they were so nice!

Re: Does anyone BF and not wear nursing bras?
I'm too scared to get a clogged duct or mastitis. I got mastitis with my first DS. So I won't wear the underwire bras. Besides none of my old bras fit me anyway. These melons are twice the size compared to last time. I wear sports bras when I go out on top of the bf bra. It definitely gives them a lift. And holds them together so I'm not bouncing all over the place.

Re: Does anyone BF and not wear nursing bras?
I wear nursing bras - the ones I have are very supportive. I have Es. 
Whenever I try to wear regulare bras, I end up getting a clogged duct. Not fun.

Re: Does anyone BF and not wear nursing bras?
I actually got a few non underwire regular bras and they were quite supportive and very comfortable. I just would slide it over and nurse under a cover. I'd read and been told that underwire bras could cause or instigate milk duct issues so that's why I went with no underwire while nursing.
I had some nursing bras but hated how they'd unclip when I bent over and you do a lot of bending over with a baby!
