 AWESOME bra for large-breasted women Sep 08, 2010
By SMD
OMG, this bra is amazing. I found this bra early in my 3rd trimester, and all the upper back pain (a result of heavy breasts and bras that didn't fit well) went away. VERY supportive, non-shifty, and stretchy enough to work for a growing chest. Also, attractive and low-cut, so you can wear it under real clothes, not just high-necked ones! I haven't yet used this as a nursing bra, so I can't speak to the convenience of the clips, but the bra itself is incredible as a maternity bra... or, just as a regular one. Bravado's size chart on their website is pretty true-to-size. I'm about a 38 E or F now, and size L fits well on the second-to-loosest hook but not any tighter. If you're at 40 band, I might suggest going for the XL.
An update: I've been nursing my son for 5 months now. After about the first month, I had to go up to an XL (about a 38 F/G now), on the tightest hook. These hold up great in the wash, and the clips work really well. These are supportive enough for the daytime and comfortable enough to sleep in. They look great under a t-shirt or a dress. Basically, I like these bras enough that I think I'm going to continue wearing them even after I'm done nursing (even though my size may shrink down again... I'm willing to spend the money for a good bra).

Went back for this bra! Oct 18, 2010
By EDK
I had this bra (and some others) for my first baby born almost 3 years ago - I nursed her for a year and a half. Now that I'm expecting the next baby in about 10 days -- I went back for this specific bra... it is really great. It's 88% nylon and 12% spandex. It's very comfortable, snugs your body, and holds its shape for a very long time. They suggest you hand wash it ... but I always put it in the machine (rotating between 3 bras) and it held up really well -- I definitely wanted new bras at the end when it started to pill slightly - but we were done nursing by then. I imagine that for someone who would be more delicate about washing it - it would be like new for a very long time.
The latch is easy too. Note that the removable pads on the inside are not meant to be washed with water (it's a 100% polyurethane - which I don't know how to wash at this point)... I highly suggest this bra.

 Just "OK" For Me May 11, 2011
By LuvMyCJ
This was my first nursing bra and I was happy to find one that fit me. I am a 34DDD(F/G) and this seemed to work well, especially for engorgement. I took the pads out because when engorged it was just more pressure and they left round indentations on my breast. I would definately still use this bra for the beginning stages of nursing. HOWEVER, this bra did NOT lift the girls up well at all. They are pretty heavy (already heavy for thier size, 34C, pre-pregnancy) and they always looked like they sagged. I learned not all big sizes are heavy during a comparison with my sister who is a 36 D. Hers were much lighter than mine. I think it has something to do with dense breast tissue. Anyway, when it came to buying clothes again, I was depressed because I couldn't find ANY shirts that fit me. Even if they fit around my waist, my breast would weigh the shirt down and the shirt would dig into the back of my neck. For 4 months I just assumed my breast were too big for regular clothes so I still wore my maternity clothes(they only feel cute when you are actually pregnant). While I was in the mall one day I decided to go into a plus size store to see if they would have any flattering shirts that would fit me. I ended up trying on a 36DDD bra and I was so happy to find that it actually lifted and separated my breast!I put my shirt on over it and it looked so much better! Even though it was not a nursing bra, it gave me hope that there was something out there that could give me better support. I still use my nursing cami, though not the best support, still better than this one. When I find the perfect nursing bra that looks good with regular clothes, I will definately update this review.
ALSO: This bra does not mush them together, but doesn't separate well either. And it definately doesn't work well with deep v-neck shirts.

Comfortable, supportive, and keeps my girls in! Oct 14, 2011
By KatieB5
I have been searching for a good nursing bra since my first child came into the world three years ago. I am more "front" facing in the chest, and my biggest problem was falling out when I'd bend over. Also, in a white shirt my "peeking" would show. This bra is everything I have been looking for. I am a 38D and the large fits perfect on the tightest set of closures. I would highly recommend this bra to others. Make sure to measure yourself so that your bra fits! If you don't know how, google it. I did and got the right sized bra.

 Runs small around the ribcage Feb 03, 2011
By jluv88
"Jluv88"
I am reviewing the Bravado Designs body silk seamless nursing bra. I have two, one black and one nude. Per the manufacturers sizing I ordered a large(I was measured as a 36 DD but I think I really might be a 38 DD). I should have gone for the X-large. The material is very stretchy and fit nicely when I first put it on but as the day progresses it starts feeling tight around the rib cage. I am currently 31 weeks pregnant and am carrying very high. I am not sure if it is because of the fact that my belly is so high and the band happens to sit right where the belly is trying push up but by the end of the day I find myself tugging at the band to give myself relief from the tightness and the heartburn. What I ended up doing was getting a bra extender which has worked beautifully. I think once I give birth the bra will fit fine. I know it is supposed to be a nursing bra anyways so hopefully after my belly goes down it will work just as it was intended. I had to buy new bras because my old ones made me look like I had four boobs. The cup size on this bra will definitely adjust to your changing needs as it is plenty stretchy. I like the removable cups, I have worn it both with and without. The three clasps in the back really gives you some needed back support. Overall it is a good bra.
