Underwire Bras!

[saralou5]

I've been told I'm not supposed to be wearing a bra with wire under it, but I'm currently skint and can't afford a nice maternity one. Plus any of my other bras without wire just cause me to be uncomfortable because my boobs are so heavy now!
Anyone else heard this? Does it effect boob growth or something?
Can't wait til I get some money in and can get a nice maternity one .

I got a sports type bra from asda for £4 hun and its to do with breast milk it affects your milk ducts so you have trouble breast feeding that's all so if your not going to try it there is no worries x

Have you got a sports bras that you could wear?

The underwire can affect the milk growth.

I just got non wired tshirt bras from M&S = they were £16 for two, but I've heard that ASDA do them a lot cheaper?

Ahh thanks for the replies ladies! I don't own a sports bra sadly . May need to be a trip to ASDA haha!

I stopped wearing underwire bras at 7wks because I was in agony wearing them. The ones without the wire are so much comfier for me now.
But I plan to breastfeed and had also heard that the underwire damages the milk ducts.

I'm sure if u shop around ull get some good bargains

Hiya.
I've never worn underwired bras as my boobs are that big (36G) the wire just cuts into them. Look for sports or supportive bras as there much more comfortable and have a wider strap on shoulders to help even the load more

 

[Belle23]

Omg I haven't stopped wearing underwire bras. Is that bad xx

 

[Loula]

i didnt even know this however all my bras well the 2 that fit have underwire, need all the support i can get with my little 32b's but then again i dnt plan on breastfeeding either x

OMG! Same size as me & I can't not wear underwires otherwise they flop lol. Where do u find supportive & comfy 36G non underwires?? Any suggestions xx

I asked my midwife about this at my 16 week appt and she said underwired bras were absolutely no problem through pregnancy as long as they were properly fitted and comfortable. I am still wearing them now, but also bought a few crop top style bras from Primark cheapo and have different days in different bras. I also tend to take my bra off when I get home if I know I'm not venturing out again that night!!! Pretty sure my boobies are okay judging by the juice they leak on a regular basis!! lol. My motto is, if it's hurting, then stop doing it, if not, it's probably ok!!

Thanks for all the replies ladies! Really appreciate it . Definitely having a venture round ASDA in the morning, see if I can pick up a few bargains for me baps!

This is wHat I was told too, and in Canada some maternity stores only sell underwire maternity bras. As long as they fit, they aren't a problem. I wore them my whole pregnancy.

coco_cukoo - Boobydoo.co.uk The Shock Absorbers are quite comfy and supportive.

Also snapped up some from M&S in new year sales but they don't last more than a few months before the weight of the boobs strech them too much :/

 

[coco_cukoo]

Thank you - never heard of that site. Will have a look! Yeah M&S seem to be crap, I think ASDA is pretty good for bras and sometimes much cheaper and better quality than M&S ones! xx

 

[saralou5]

Went to M&S earlier to get measured, I've gone up 2 sizes! Then went to Asda with my mum and got some laaavely fitting bras and some crop top style things. My boobs are now comfier than ever . Give it a couple of weeks and I'll be needing new ones again!! I used to be worried my boobs weren't going to be big enough to feed baby, but no I have no worries! Hahahah!
