What Size Nursing Bra to Buy?
August 13, 2009
Real Moms have breasts that come in all shapes and sizes. It’s very difficult to know what size bra to wear normally let alone what size nursing bra to buy. As it turns out, many women are buying the wrong size bras. Do you have a bra that is riding up in the back or are your breasts overflowing out of the cups?
Here is a link to Lactation Connection that we found as a very handy guide to measuring for your correct bra size. CLICK HERE
Many manufacturers don’t make bras in odd sizes and even when they do many stores may not carry the uncommon sizes as they are not big sellers. So what is the answer if you find you are an odd size? Buying bras online or from a store that is willing to order the correct size for you. If the bra you want does not come in your size- keep searching! You will find a similar one made by a manufacturer that makes your size. Also, make sure that the store you order from has a good return policy because sometimes even if you get the right size, you may just not like the bra for your boobs. You want a bra that you are comfortable in, makes your breasts look good under your clothes and gives you good support. You also want a bra that doesn’t scream, “Look at my nursing pads!” (Bras you plan to wear only at night-time are the only exception to this rule)
