As time passes and the breasts regain their lost tone, the bra may be replaced with a less restrictive model.

However, I know some very innovative suppliers advertise in MOTHERING magazine, so I would head over to their website - they probably have an article on it too: http://www.mothering.com Also, go to google and type in "cotton stretch nursing bras" and it will pull up some good results for you to browse through. If you make it "organic cotton stretch nursing bras" that will narrow the results further. Please post here again when you find a good one! thanks, Jini Hi Floris – my amazing mother MADE all my nursing bras for me – she took my light Evita cotton bras and adapted them for nursing.

The breezecomfort does not make them. Thanks! Hi, I just wondered if you had a recommendation for a good nursing bra. The breezecomfort does not make them. Thanks!

Totally agree. But for those who must wear a bra, take a look at http://www.breezecomfort.com. They use this perforated pads with holes to enhance breathability on the sports and padded bras. Quite comfy too. Great post! Totally agree. But for those who must wear a bra, take a look at http://www.breezecomfort.com.

I have large breasts and if I don't wear a bra, my breasts sag, it hurts. It hurts if I walk or if I am doing anything after awhile besides lounging back in a chair or laying down. I don't wear a bra for looks, I wear it for comfort so I don't hurt. And oh, those of you who can only wear a tank top or a shelf bra, congrats to you, but it doesn't cut it for me. I have to wear at least 1 sports bra (usually a reg bra and a sports bra) while exercising otherwise I bounce everywhere and it hurts. This article makes it seem that wearing a bra is purely for aesthetics, but they don't take into account those of us with very large breasts.

You can find these at fabric stores. They are cheap and comfortable.Lets not forget that antiperspirants also block you from sweating,so where are those toxins going? Right to the breast tissues.!!!The body is designed to sweat to rid itself of toxins.A good cheap alternative is to use a crystal deodorant stone made from natural mineral salts.You can find these at health food stores.I 'm sure to get alot of backlash from this statement....Mammograms can cause cancer !!!! Its Radiation.Radiation is also a cause of cancer.If by chance there is something there the compression of the mammogram is sure to spread it.Get a breast exam by a doctor and if need be an ultrasound, its alot safer!!!!

Have you seen what Indian women wear underneath a sari? It's just called a blouse - 100% cotton and they support even the largest breasts with no constriction. So you could just wear that, or design something better and sell it on the Internet! I just thought of an alternative for large-breasted women who don’t want to have saggy boobs.

One, like a few other women here, I feel like my clothes just plain look better with a bra "padding" things a bit. The clothes droop and just don't "fall" right without that bit of extra there. Yep, this must be the A-cup women's club. :-) The other is that I'd almost equate a bra to protection of a sort. My husband jokes with me about my "iron-clad" bras (because I always get ones with a bit of padding), but the truth is, if they're too accessible, he's going to seek access. And I just plain don't always want sexual attention. Nor do I want the internal guilt of saying, "Would you just kind of like, you know, maybe not touch me anywhere sensitive unless I indicate that I want to be touched? And just so we're clear, here's how I'll indicate it." So: cancer or guilt/aggravation? The fact that I actually have to really stop and think about that one tells me that maybe I need to do what you suggested to one of the other commenters: EFT! Sweden sounds wonderful.
