Supporting My Girls

A few posts ago, I got a few questions about which bras I use for running, postpartum. Well, I apologize for not answering...things do get a bit busy around here these days with Baby Max, who is now two months old.

Well, to answer your questions, I have two bras that I've tried out:

The first one is a bra by a company called Moving Comfort. I bought it at a specialty running store called "The Running Room" in Canada. It's great for high impact activities, like running and anything "bouncy." Of the two I bought, this is my favourite. It really supports The Girls and prevents them from too much jiggling. There is a hook closure system at the back which can make it a bit of a pain to get on and off, but I don't mind that too much. And I really like the racer back style. It's in the $35-40 price point which is pretty reasonable.

The second bra I bought for running is made by Nike. It's also recommended for use when doing high impact sports. Though I like the closure system much better (it's like a conventional bra - not a racer back) I find that this bra doesn't provide the same support that my Moving Comfort bra gives. This one was a bit more expensive and cost roughly $45.

I was told by a bra specialist that nursing Runnermamas should avoid getting bras with any underwire because it can affect the flow of milk. Who knew? Since I am nursing, I also made sure that I could stuff a nursing pad in there, just in case. Both accommodate nursing pads just fine.
