Guest guest Posted August 23, 2000 Report Share Posted August 23, 2000 I had a nursing bra once that I got at Fred Meyer. It was just stretchy elastic cups...no clasp or anything...you just stretched it open.

I mean if I could just reach in a little and as I was bringing her to latch on I could unsnap and pull it to the side (in theory LOL) that would be way more discreet than unhooking my bra getting the breast out and getting the flap out of the way etc etc etc. Here is the link to it and its only $18.00. (compared to motherwear for 33+). http://MotherhoodNursing.com/Product.asp?Product_Id=95642008 Another thing I like about it is its got the inner band for more support. I went back to the older bras I was wearing without the band and I felt like I didnt have a bra on at all! Absolutely no support. I'm either going to go over there tonight or one day in the future and pick one up. Luckily we have one about 25 minutes from my house. There is also a Motherhood outlet about 40 minutes away...but I rarely have that much extra time. -Jen -------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.TheElliotts.org CUR #153 ICQ#875060 I was born Creative, not Patient.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2000 Report Share Posted August 23, 2000 Jen, I use bras that have no flaps. I hate messing around with the hooks and latches. I end up with my hands up my shirt wrestling around for way too long! LOL I use bras from http://www.decentexposures.com I just pull them down under my breast and then it pulls up very easily when i am done. Wendi http://www.lactivist.com breastfeeding resources and info bras Just wondering which bras you guys find the easiest to use. I've tried the front flap eye hook at the top kind...and they really made it hard to nurse in public. Then I found the ones at JCPenney and those are the same thing as the others I had, but they had a different kind of closure. Its not a snap like on clothes but it does snap. MUCH easier to do and undo in public. you dont have to look like you do with the eye hook ones. Then all the talk about the nursing shirts (I had just happened to buy a lansinoh nursing t-shirt at walmart yesterday) peaked my interest and I went to motherwear.com. They have bras that snap on the sides in the middle...and that seams like a really good idea. The less time I fidget under my shirt the happier I am. SO I just wondered if they really are a good idea. ?? -Jen -------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.TheElliotts.org CUR #153 ICQ#875060 I was born Creative, not Patient.

They are pretty pricey but well worth the money. I have never had longer lasting bras then these.
