I was recently contacted by Royce Lingerie about their brand new nursing bra - Blossom.
Dexter is combination fed (admittedly less and less as we approach the year one mark). As Dexter was born early via emergency c-section, and my milk hadn’t fully come through, we had to supplement him with formula from the start. Couple this with his hospitalisation due to Strep B at 6 weeks - and breastfeeding got off to a very bumpy start that never really ironed itself out.
For baby 2, I hope to sustain him or her for the first year on breast milk. I’m not ashamed to admit this is primarily due to cost, and the sense of achievement of keeping baby nourished by myself - only a hermit crab could be forgiven for not knowing the health benefits, but this isn’t my primary motivation… Cue horrified grimaces. - I just believe in pro-choice.
Whatever my motivations - I couldn’t wait to try Royce’s Blossom bra and put it through its paces. As a mammoth 36GG - I have a large chest and have found that nursing / maternity bras do not usually offer me any support. Day to day I tend to wear underwired balcony style bras (and admittedly fall out of them every two minutes) so to find a bra that can ‘contain me’, without sending my prized possessions down to my knees, will be a tough ask!
Well here we go - I’m braving posing half-naked in front of the camera to show you this bra fits us big girls. PLEASE thank me and tell me I don’t look like death or I’m apt to cry all week.
So what works about this bra?
- It’s incredibly soft. The last thing you want is something itching (and inadvertently stimulating you) when you’re ‘producing’
- You can gather it to make into a bra shape, or wear it like a cami top - the ties are more than capable of taking the strain
- It’s actually attractive - not like what you’d imagine your Nan to wear
- I haven’t ‘popped out’ once
There aren’t really any negatives. Yes you expect a bit of ‘sinkage’ if you’re big chested and this does show under clothes as you’d expect. But there’s no third boob going on; There’s no wire, and the cup size is generous (meaning you’re not always oinking it up under your clothes). It’s also perfectly safe to wear at night and will take a breastpad which is comforting when you’re scared of leaking.
Okay. She wins!
At just £30 it’s available to purchase from Royce Lingerie.
