I wore a bra made by a company called Molke - amazing! They’re great for the bigger busted lady as they’re non wired so dead comfy and they give you a great natural shape (with cleavage!!!). Much better than nursing bras in the shops
Interesting. Will they ship to the United States.
I believe so, yes
