Simply the best!

This bra is the best nursing/maternity bra I’ve ever owned. It’s very flattering and is a beautiful bra all round. The fit is absolutely perfect.

Wish I had Purchased Earlier!
Typically wears:32F Purchased:L
So, although I could easily be considered large breasted without being prego - in pregnancy my size has literally become the equivalence of two planets attached to my chest. Painful ... umm yes... requiring a gentle but firm support ?? Absolutely! And the cotton candy maternity bras I purchased were literally life changing! When you are constantly in pain and discomfort it goes without saying your quality of life dramatically improves with something as simple as a well fitting, supportive bra! My planets are stationary, lifted so my back isn't dying, the material is soft- LITERALLY SO SOFT, my sensitive planets thaylt can hardly handle any comtact to touch are very happy thus I can easily say I am beyond happy with my purchase. No regrets! I just wish I would have found this brand sooner. A for quality, customer service and fit. Apart from the cute bra itself, I was very impressed with the care of packaging ... all around a fantastic experience.

Supportive
Typically wears:34I Purchased:
Overall incredibly supportive which is surprising with no underwire. Pre-pregnancy I always wore underwire as I’ve always had heavy breasts. However, the thought of underwire now makes me cringe lol. I have a flexi-wire bra from this site which I still find uncomfortable despite its being well-made so happy to find an equally supportive option without the wire. Somehow grabbed a large instead of the suggested medium which is slightly too big in the cups - ok because of nursing pads but will size down for future purchases.

Nice
Typically wears:34I Purchased:L
I have several similar styles from other nursing companies, but this one is the most supportive and also has the option for pumping. Not supportive enough for me for exercise but definitely love wearing for sleep and lounge.

Finally!
Typically wears:34I Purchased:L
I’ve been looking for a sports bra that is supportive enough for high impact sports WITHOUT removable padding or uncomfortable straps. Finally found this bra and it’s THE ONE. No annoying padding, straps are comfy and have a clip to give the extra support provided by the racetrack, and it’s cute! Buying another for sure. My only cons: band slightly tight given what was suggested for my cup size (easily remedied by moving to last clips of band) and not enough colors! I would love to have this in other fun, sporty colors.

Nice but fits very small
Typically wears:32B Purchased:S
This is lovely but unfortunately it’s so tight around the bust that it hurts to wear. I’m not big busted either so surprised a small wouldn’t fit me. Definitely size up if you want to buy

Super supportive
Typically wears:40D Purchased:
Have found this bra super supportive working around the yard. Neckline is a little higher than necessary but I do appreciate the added layer of support across my chest.
