Loosest possible sleep bra?

[Rachels]

I HATE feeling constricted at night, and I need the barest something to hold some nursing pads in place. I don't care about support and would rather go free, but the leaks, ugh. Ideas?

I just went to JC Penney and got 2 "weekend" style bralettes. They offer NO support, but they did hold pads in place. They were like $10 each on sale. I think they were back by the sports bras.\

I used mainly a mini tank (shelf style) bralet I found at Marshalls for $3. Just enough to hold the pads but no support (I wear 34c FWIW)

I thought this one was great for night time.

Rachel - I sleep in either a Glamourmom Nursing Bra tank, which holds the pads in OR in the Bravado Double Plus Bra. My breasts are so large that when I lay on my side they rest on top of each other, which might be why I'm not leaking as badly off the pads. I'm not sure what size you are, but those have worked well for me. I also saw this bra, and thought it looked like an excellent sleeping bra:

HTH: Oh is the blister getting better? I hope so, and how is Ethan's reflux doing? Did any of the suggestions given help? I hope things ease out soon for you!

Rachel - I wanted to add that on many reviews for Lily Padz, ladies say they wear them to bed even w/out a bra. I've never tried them but it might be want works for you.

There are a bunch of other styles as well, that one is just really easy for nursing. Also available at other places.

I wore this one when I was nursing DS. I loved it. Very little support but just enough. Good luck!

In response to an earlier post, I have Lily Padz and they're great. I'm not sure I'd want to wear them every night, especially because repositioning them in the dark might be slightly difficult. But you could definitely go braless with those. For nighttime, I went to Target and found the biggest sports bras they had on the clearance rack. I think I spent about $5.00 each and they worked great.

I had good luck with these, and it was stretchy enough that I could use it for nursing during the day, too. Website selection varies, so you'd probably have more choices in-store.

The Japanese Weekend HUG bra is very comfy, but does not have a lot of support. The cotton is super super soft and stretchy,

I got this one with DC#3 (after going through 2 kids w/bad nursing/sleep bras I was determined to find something that worked!). It was very comfortable, just enough to keep the pads in place.

I wore a tank top with a shelf bra in it and put a folded cloth diaper in the shelf instead of nursing pads. It worked great!

HTH!

I also use this one and it is working out well!

I had a Majamas nursing nightgown, which I loved! Cute and attractive ( I still wear it even though I just finished nursing), super comfy, plus it has pockets to hold pads. They also do tank style tops with the pad pockets, which would be nice with some shorts or pajama bottoms.

Good luck
