I remember when I was breastfeeding my daughter, I purchased 2 nursing bras at a sample sale at Naissance on Melrose. They were both really nice nursing bras, but the only thing missing was that neither had any support. They looked like sports bras and were completely flat. Trying to wear those bras with nicer clothing to go out, just did not make sense. Whenever I had to go out to an event or dinner with my husband, I switched to my regular bras, and ended up putting Lilypadz in it, so that it prevented any leakage.
I truely believe that you should invest in at least one good bra, whether you are nursing or not. A bra that fits correctly and looks and feels nice. Just like everyone should have one pair of really nice jeans. When I was pregnant for the second time around, I knew that I would invest in one really nice bra which had support. I gathered all my resources and came across Bella Materna, nursing bras to its finest. I went to their site and looked at all the bras they had to offer. They had so many bras that caught my eye, but I had to choose one that was practical for me. I chose the padded nursing bra. I wasn’t sure on size, so I had to measure myself exactly the way is was shown on the Bella Materna sizing chart. I came out to be a 34C. No way! I am usually a 32B, so it blew me away. So I ordered it in 34C, but I had major doubts that it would fit me.
The bra arrived, and it was soft to the touch. You could definitely tell it was finely made and was pure luxury. I looked at the bra and still had doubts it would fit me because the cups looked too big for my boobs. I tried it on and too my surprise, it fit PERFECTLY! The bra is made of quick drying Imported Italian Nylon/Lycra, which keeps moisture from sitting next to the body. Another plus, the fabric will not fade or pill and Okeo-TEx certified to be toxin free.
I love that the bra has an easy one-handed clasp with adjustable straps. The Special Strap Keep helps support your breast while you nurse. This is such a great bra, whether you on in your last trimester or when you are nursing. It is super comfortable and flattering to your curves. I love that its functionable and fashionable. I definitely think its worth the investment. Bella Materna also has a whole line of maternity, transition, and sleepwear. For more information, please visit them at www.bellamaterna.com.

I just got some cheap nursing bras from Hermama.com. They do a good range from HOTmilk, Bravado, Carriwell and others. They even gave me 15% off my next order with them just for being a customer. Service like that is rare from web companies. Check them out.
