Nursing bras?

Question

Nursing mom's... what are some good places to get nursing bras online or otherwise?

Also what kind of "thin" disposable nursing pads are a good brand to get?

Answer 1

Bravado has great nursing bras. They're the most comfortable I've tried by far. You can find them online at bravado.com, but they also sell in some retail stores. I also really like the Glamourmom tanks. They're also available in some retail locations, or you can order them from Glamourmom.com.

I have a pair of wool nursing pads that I absolutely adore - they are super soft and can't be detected under clothes, but they're not good for heavy leakers. The best disposables I've tried are Lasinoh. I've tried most of the others and found all of them too bulky and noticable. The Lasinoh pads are very thin, but still extremely absorbant.

Good luck!

Answer 2

I got my nursing bras at stores like Walmart and Target...not the absolute greatest ones around, but I didn't have many places to choose from and not a lot of extra money to invest in bras. The nursing pad I settled on after trying about 4 others were Lanisoh. They were thin, had a strip of adhesive on the back (I never had a need for this), were contoured, didn't have a rough surface like some I had tried, and came individually wrapped so I could easily keep some extras in my purse without them getting dirty.

***someone else mentioned underwires...One of the bra types I chose came with underwire. I just cut a little hole at the edge of the wire and pulled it out...just in case you find yourself in the same situation.

Answer 3

I actually got 2 bra's from WalMart that I wore at home. I wouldn't have worn them out but they were great and comfy for the first few weeks. The nursing pads I used were the Lansinoh disposable ones. The cream they make is also wonderful! I started using it on my nipples a couple weeks before my due date and never got dry or cracked.

Answer 4

I used the Curity brand. They were the least expensive disposable ones and I never once leaked. I tried several different types of the washable ones and leaked every time.

Motherhood has nursing bras on line and in the store. They are mostly reasonably priced.

Answer 5

Sears and JC Penney's have reasonably priced bras.

Don't know about the "thin" nursing pads. They all seemed to thick to me. I bought a yard of thick cotton felt and cut 4 inch circles that I used and washed. The thick felt was very thin and several pads could be used at once during leaky days.

Answer 6

You can get a good bra anywhere you just need to try them on I don't recommend a under wire that causes clogged ducts....... lanolosh or something like that I can't remember the name are good pads I wouldn't get the real thin ones or you are going to have a wet shirt

Answer 7

Target&JCPenneys are where I bought my nursing bras. Disposible nursing pads sucked. They are more convienient but I had more leaks when I wore them. They sell washable nursing pads that are thicker and absorb more.

Answer 8

I used Johnson and Johnson's nursing pads. I got my bras at Motherhood Maternity.

Answer 9

i love my YES! nursing bra. I bought it on ebay. It was cheap, cotton, black and they sized it perfectly! i had a hard time finding bras that were a 38b.

I also have 3 Target nursing tanks, but they run really small.
