Plus sized nursing bras
 
I found an $11 nursing bra at wally world that actually feels pretty good but doesn't do much for the girls. I bought one for $60 last time around that only fit the first week or so while I was engorged. Isn't there a happy medium somewhere?
I read the bra fitting thread on the shopping forum and wondered what you all do for bras. I know I don't have to have the nursing kind, but it sure makes pumping at work feel less revealing and actually helps hold the booby up for nursing.
What do you wear? Do you love it, hate it or what? Where did you buy yours?

Thanks!

I like the medela seamless fit with underwire, I am a 38 H and this is the only one I have found that does a decent job of support and comfort, about $40 each.

The first couple of weeks, I liked Bravado. They fit more like a sportsbra, but they give and take with the changes in the breast engorgment in the first month or two of nursing.

After that, my favorite was the Medela underwire. I bought a couple of them online, including a black one-which was my favorite. I am a DD, DDD when nursing, so I can't normally get one at Wal-Mart, etc. that is supportive enough.

For pumping at work, instead of worrying about the bra, I HIGHLY recommend a Bebe Au Lait nursing cover. They are also sold under the name Hooter Hider. They are big, roomy, cute fabrics, large enough for nursing toddlers or breast pumps, and they have a wired neck opening, so that you can see your baby/pump...but no one else can. They are great for nursing in public, too. I didn't have to wear nursing clothing, or use a blanket or anything.
