I Wish I Knew – The Postpartum Breasts

 POSTPARTUM BODY CARE – A GOOD BRA TO ELEVATE YOUR BUSTLINE AND YOUR SPIRIT

Our baby girl is 20 months and she is not a baby anymore! As she is getting bigger and stronger everyday, I found my own strength going the opposite way. It’s about time to get back into a more active lifestyle.

One thing I wish I have thought of right after giving birth was that I SHOULD HAVE HAD BETTER BRAS during and after my pregnancy. As a first-time mother, I had little time and even less motivation to think about my body in the first year. The least I could have done was to give my hardworking breasts some much-needed support. But I did not thought of it and after 20 months of neglect, I needed help!

With my year-long breastfeeding and pregnancy hormone fluctuations, my breasts have been much different from before. My measurements only increased by an inch overall but none of my bras fit properly anymore. Flesh was spilling from inappropriate places and no amount of shortening the shoulder straps could lift my bustline off the ground. My posture suffered and I felt and looked dreadful and uncomfortable, especially during exercise.

I have researched and tried on quite a few full coverage bras and sport bras. Some do better than the others in fit, comfort and support. As my body will surely continue to change, I am also concern about the adaptability and the economy of the bras. After much considerations, I settled on the SHEFIT brand of sport bras and the THIRDLOVE full coverage bras. THEY ARE SO WORTH IT!

SHEFIT offers two lines of sport bra; the ULTIMATE for high-impact sports, e.g. running and cross-training, and the FLEX for medium-impact sport like cycling and yoga. They are unique in that each bra has fully adjustable bust band and shoulder straps, allowing a perfect fit with customized lift, support and comfort, and making it adaptable to the changing body. I have owned one of each and they are the most supportive bras I have ever worn.

For the everyday t-shirt bras, the THRIDLOVE 24/7 Perfect Coverage Bra gives me great support with wide shoulder straps and super soft cups. They also have the 24/7 Classic Nursing Bra for mummies that are still breastfeeding. I like that THIRDLOVE’s fitting system uses breast shapes and half-sizing cups to gives a much more true-to-size fitting. Plus return and exchange is free within 60 days, giving me the peace of mind I need for online bra shopping.
