DO NOT BOTHER with a nursing bra. Stay in your regular Wacoal underwire and pull your boob out from underneath. Trust me - nothing else will work. BTDT and have a garbage bag of barely worn bras to prove it. [ Reply | More

dest maternity will not have it. i am not sure where, but i got mine in the hosptial and i was a 38F (or DDD). medela--the one with the wide padded straps was the best one for me. i loved that bra. it is supportive and totally comfy. bravado bra for nights helped too. [ Reply | More

Upper Breast Side worked for me and I was a nursing 42F, with no underwires. It made a huge difference. [ Reply | More

I think you will find a better selection online. I got a couple at Pea in the Pod and then had much better success online. I believe Bravado makes ones that larger breasted women adore but htey are pricey. if you go to any of hte breastfeeding websites, they usually have a lot of ads for these. [ Reply | More

I went to Intimacy on Madison and 89th. They have free alterations and can turn any bra into a nursing bra. It is a bit pricey. Best to call in advance to set up a fitting otherwise you might have to wait a bit. I waited until after I had the baby as my breasts got significantly bigger when my milk came in. Upper Breast Side only sells non-underwire which I found did not give me the support that I needed. [ Reply | More

UES? Bras By Linda is the only place worth going to. UBS on the west side has REALLY aggressive salespeople and every time I've gone there, they're either arguing with each other or rude to a customer. [ Reply | More

if you are not nursing, why do you need a nursing bra? just go to a bra shop and get measured. wacoal is good for larger chests [ Reply | More
