Maternity Undies - any recommendations??
Hiya,
I'm on a mission to try and find some nice maternity underwear and wondered if anyone had any recommendations of websites/companies to try? At five months my nkickers are begining to not be such a comfortable fit anymore :roll: and my 'functional' maternity bras leave a lot to be desired! I'm after a few nice pieces of underwear but not sure where to start looking!
Thanks in advance,
vinnie xx
p.s. Why does the Welcome Back bit next to where I'm typing tell me that it's 868 days til my baby's birth....there's only 365 days in a year...what am I, an elephant?!??!

I went thro loads of bras cos my baps size kept changing and i was getting really sore round the back of my ribcage as everything grew. In the end i often slobbed about at home with no bra on cos i found it more comfy. I know many would say this is really bad for you cos your baps can get stretch marks etc but i just thought 'tough t*ts, it's comfy' LOL!!! I also found my knicks got really tight as my hips changed shape and i ended u pgetting cheap MandS value knicks at size 14 or 16 (usually a size12) and some cheap ones from Asda too. I just got normal knicks in the 'mini' shape that fitted under my bump cos i couldn't stand anything pressing on my bump. The value knicks were also great for a while after the birth - comfy cos they were a bit bigger and also didnt matter if they got a bit messy cos of bleeding (sorry if TMI!!!) and had to be thrown away. I didn't get any nice bras or knicks cos i didn't feel sexy in any way! I guess i should get some nice stuff now (my LO is 8 weeks) but i still feel far from sexy. Alas! Hope you have fun getting some nice bits and that this may be useful for getting the comfy stuff x

I got a couple of good bras from Bravissimo, on the expensive side but well worth it.
Goos luck, I remember that feeling !
They are made from polymide and elastic.
Thanks for the advice on knicker shape, finding mine are starting to roll down, so will be looking at the tesco low rise ones.
Also primark do some nice maternity bras, i bought a couple from there they were only ??4 each and they wash ok too.

Bras - I'm now pushing an E cup... Saw some nice ones in Blooming Marvelous but they are pricey. I love the Elle Macpherson ones and plan to treat myself to one of the feeding bras once my size settles down post birth. The very best things I've bought have been M&S secret support tops (but they won't be covering my bump for much longer) and a bra extender which has prolonged the life of the horrid maternity bras I've bought.
