Nursing bras

Oh my gosh Oh my gosh

I found it. the one. I am so very excited. I am of course waiting for another 2 shipments of bras, and I would love it to have more than one style to wear, but for now this is it:

My breasts are now a truly incredible 23" circumference at the base (as measured very roughly by me with the aid of a ribbon just now). And since I don't have much feeling in them I don't really notice how I stuff them into my current ill-fitting bras ... which means that I can at times have my nipples pointing in completely opposite directions:
i.e. one stuck on my armpit,...
