Desperately Seeking a Supportive Plus-size Nursing Sports Bra!

Hi C.. I feel your pain. I am no longer nursing, but when I was nursing I was a 36F and it is so hard to fine supportive nursing bras alone, not to mention sports bras. I have found a wonderful sports bra for full figure sizes and I love it. Its not a nursing sports bra, but it does have velcro strap adjustments that seem like they would work for nursing. The bra is Moving Comfort's Fiona. I think it goes up to a DDD size. If that doesn't work, Enell makes a serious sports bra that goes beyond 50 DDD, but be prepared to spend some money on it. It has a front closure, so I'm thinking it would work well for nursing, too. Both of the bras that I have mentioned are bras for runners and they are high impact bras for zero bounce. I hope this helps.

Hey C.,
It's E. :)
As a well endowed breast feeding mom myself, I will tell you what worked for me! None of the bra's themselves worked very well, but DOUBLING them worked WONDERS! If I was really moving around I would put on 3! ( A regular bra and then a sports bra over it- It helps if the first one is just a bit smaller and tighter). It really helped them from giggling around . It also helped them from leaking, as they were compressed. I hope this helps. See you soon :p

I was the same size when I was still breast-feeding. I found the most comfortable solution was to wear a nursing bra tank top that I got from Target. It had a nursing bra, but then several layers on top so it felt very secure and the fact that it was a tank top made me feel somewhat "normal". I got the biggest size, I think a XXL, and it felt great. I went to the Target in Elk Grove on Bruceville and Laguna, but I'm sure others would have it as well. It's in the aisle with the sports bras.

You might want to try Maternal Expressions in Folsom. They are a little pricey but extremely helpful and they were the only place I could find that had my size.

Good Luck!

How long is this class? And are you really going to stop during it to nurse? I exclusively breastfeed, too (and this is my 2nd time around doing it), but I have never had nursing sports bra. I just nurse before the class, throw on a regular sports bra for the duration, then hurry home and strip it off to nurse again.

Its been a long time for me but I went to Arden Fair Mall and found 32F ... which I couldn't find at any department store ... I went to both Mimi Maternity and Motherhood Maternity. One had one in my size but could order and the other had a few in stock.

HI. My son is 6 months old and I am breastfeeding too. What I have found is that if I wear a REALLY supportive sports bra (or two at once)- I can work out. I use the Frog Bra from Title Nine (online company or in Oakland). It isn't a nursing bra, but I just change when I get home. Granted, I am a 34 but I am an E and I can even run with this Frog Bra on.
Hope this helps!
