I am currently 24 weeks pregnant and struggling with bra fit. For context, I was a 32FF for a couple of years prior to getting pregnant with little to no change. My favorite bras were the Cleo Maddie, Cleo Skye, and Panache Underwire Sport. My breasts have definitely grown throughout my 2nd trimester - I now measure a 34G/GG according to A Bra That Fits and my 32FF bras clearly don't fit well.
After trying a few options in a 34G and 34GG in more commonly available brands (Panache, Elomi), I realized the wires in these sizes are scaled differently from the... wide for my shape/frame. This led to dipping my toes into the world of Polish bras which I've been told typically have narrower wires.
I purchased the Comexim Whimsy Floral Nursing Stretch Lace Non-Padded Underwire Bra in 34HH for two reasons:
1) I'm looking at nursing bras in general with the hope I'll be able to use them while I am breastfeeding (assuming my size doesn't increase too much more, or comes back down at some point).
2) It was on final sale at Breakout Bras in a size that looked like it would work for me (comments on the site suggested to size up two cup sizes from your normal cup size - that would be a 34H or 34HH for me)
Overall, I am very happy with the fit of this bra. The wires are in fact more narrow which means they don't feel like they're on my back. They are actually near, but not on, my breast tissue. They also seem to allow for more projection at the wire which means the underwire actually sits in my IMF instead of getting pushed down.
My biggest issue with the bra is the colorway. The pattern definitely shows through some of my shirts which is frustrating when my wardrobe is already limited. I'm not sure if it comes in other colors, but that's something I'll look into.
I'd also appreciate any recommendations on other bras that may fit similarly to this one.
