Okay, with what ever I have my bras irritate it so I have decided unless I have to I will not wear a bra. I am not comfortable like this as I am always making sure my pads are in place since I have a very strong let down still (DD 13.5 months).
I do workout almost every day so not sure how that will play into effect. I can get away with no bra in the water but if I run on the treadmill this might be hard. Thinking I might have to get a few more tighter fitting shirts to wear under my top for the day.
Suggestions? Pointers? Any thing that can help me during this time! Thank you, LM

I wear a bra when out and about but at home, no, even when breastfeeding.

I sometimes wear just lilly padz to contain the letdown. Also like nursing tanks. I wear a medela "sleep" bra alot as well since it's more comfy for me.

Had 1 long time ago with DS1 but given my 6' ht it was to short that I kept pulling on it. Sure there are other brands now. Plus, anything that hits my bra area irritates the spots that I am trying to not have any pressure and my tanks that have self-bras in them even bother the area I am trying to avoid.
I have the medela sleep bra and it is not bad as that is what I was in before but no bra just feels so much better. My friend pointed the lilly padz out to me the other day (before all this started) so I may have to look into them more if they just would attach to me.
Thanks though.~Sun

Yes, definately try nursing tanks-- preferably the Bravado ones. Sometimes when I'm going to be out of the house all day I'll wear a Bravado tank under my shirt instead of a bra since it has it's own molded shelf bra built in and when you nurse in it your stomach and back stay covered. I never wear a nursing bra at home, but I don't leak any more either.
Breakoutbras.com has them on sale right now and you can get an additional 10% off with the code "BBASH2010."

I often went braless at home, especially after the first few months, when leaking slowed down. I always kept a burp cloth handy to soak up any leakage during letdown.
I agree with others that nursing tanks can be very comfortable. I'm actually wearing a Glamourmom one right now (and DS2 weaned months ago) because it's so comfortable, and I love the long length.
I also wore the Motherhood Sleep Bras a lot. They are really lightweight, nonconstricting, and comfy. They don't offer much support, but I'm small-chested and didn't need much.
