Anyone know of something I could buy that isn't as constricting as a bra but will keep breast pads secure in bed at night?

I bought a Sloggi cropped top but they only go up to a size 36 (not cup sized) and I'm a 34 JJ at the moment so it was too tight to be comfy.

I'm wearing a nursing bra to bed at the moment but would prefer something softer. Support obv isn't important. Need to keep using the breast pads to stop my lansinoh addiction from ruining any more of my sheets/clothes...

Any ideas?

I used these for all three of mine, they're pretty roomy and very comfortable, but had no problem keeping breast pads in place.

what about something under you as well? I'm bfing my 16 week old baby and have a toddler's bedwetting type of mattress protector under my part of the bed - it's only about 2 square feet, I bought it from mothercare. I've stopped wearing a bra at night as well, and just have vests/camisoles instead, I'm past the stage of needing breastpads, maybe buy some that have the sticky pads?

Perfect! I was in Mothercare the other day as well & didn't see that - how annoying.

Thanks, that looks like exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks hana. I still have very sore nips so am still needing something to stop them rubbing but the mattress protector will hopefully do later on (ds is 8wks on Friday)

XL
it is much more stretchy than the sloggi so you might find an L would be okay

I wear my Bravado bra to bed. I couldn't wear regular sized bras as I'm a 32H, so if they were big enough for my boobs they were huge around the back and not at all supportive, and vice versa.

MrsTM - what size do you go for in Bravado?
