Best place to buy nursing bras?

Can anyone recommend somewhere that sells nursing bras which aren't too expensive? I've tried mothercare and marks and spencer but the best they do is 2 for £25.
Any ideas? I really want to get some cheaper ones really.

    Hi Jak

    I have been looking round for myself for a few weeks and the best price I have seen is 3 for £21 from ebay - these are new and include p+p. I haven't seen anything cheaper so I'll probably get these myself...

    PM me if you want me to send you a link...

    I used M&S who properly measure you. IMO they are still worth the money if you intend to feed long term. I didn't buy until after baby was here though as you grow greatly once your milk is in and my size before was nowhere near my size after delivery!

    Not the cheapest but in my opinion John Lewis are best for fitting. Even if you get fitted there and then buy them elsewhere...

    I wouldnt bother wasting my money on a nursing bra.

    I had 5 kids and nursed all of them without.

    Debenhams have a few in the sale at the moment. Best to get fitted while youre at it.

    I agree with Modgit. M&S are good it is the only place I buy them.

    Got mine from mothercare - but I'd wait until after the baby is born, because you're likely to get bigger once your milk comes in, so any bra you buy now might be too small.

    And yes, they're not essential, but they do help when you're trying to feed discretely in public.

    The best nursing bras I found were Mirriam Stoppard from Debenhams. 2 for £25 but they provide much better support that the Mothercare ones both during feeding and when "closed", have washed and lasted me well and provide much more breast coverage that other nursing bras, so I have found that feeding is much more descrete. They are also much more comfortable and easy to open and close one handed. Here and here and here

    I waited until my milk had come in and then went in and had them fitted, I only bought 2 to start with and went back a couple of months later to get refitted (you will loose weight quite quickly whilst feeding and this can affect you back and cup size) I was a completely different size the second time.

    Yes they do do them. I went to get some. I recommend getting fitted properly so you know your size and then look on ebay!
