I just received my first Bravado bras ; two Original size large and I'm a disapointed. The bra is comfortable but that's about it.As a larger busted Momma the support is minimal. The inner sling structure of the bra is worthless. The outer sports bra like design smushes breast tissue out to the sides instead of providing true support. The effect is oddly smooshed uni- boobs. Not an attractive shape. The off set seam down the front of the bra is very bulky and shows through clothing even under my heavier t-shirts. It is ugly and poorly designed. It is also puckered oddly on one of the bras. The nursing clips are easy to use and the full access design is nice. It's an easy bra to nurse in. I'm keeping the bras because they're better than nothing but I will not order more and I'll be looking for another brand that provides better support, better construction and a better appearance under clothes.

Great sleep/at home bra. I bought this bra while I was still pregnant; I thought a stretchy, sports bra type nursing bra would be best for the first few months of nursing (due to changing breast size). It fit through third trimester and still does (baby is almost 4 months). I was worried about the seam in the middle of the cups--but I have never been bothered by it. I actually love this bra--very comfortable. I am a petite 38I and the double plus medium fits me well. It has a folded piece of fabric on the inside in the middle to sort of separate your breasts, though that doesn't do a very good job for us large breasted women. No big deal to me, though. Very easy to snap and unsnap as well. My only complaint, and it's minor, is that the elastic that stays in place across your chest/armpit while the cup is down during nursing is too loose…If I'm wearing a tank top, it's likely that it will pop out and embarrass me. Otherwise, highly recommend!

I love this bra, but beware, the leopard print one is not as stretchy as the other colours, due the printed style of the pattern. I have a beige one that stretches and is so comfortable, so I bought a leopard print one online. It is not as comfortable and doesn't have as much give. Go up a size when ordering this print.

This is by far, the BEST bra I have owned (breastfeeding or not!!). The best part, is that it is a breastfeeding bra that actually fits me!! Being plus-size with full-sized breasts, it is REALLY hard to find something that fits well. Thanks to Bravado for this great bra!!

i love the double size plus original nursing bras. In fact these bras are the only ones i will ever buy! I love the fit and the durability of these bras are amazing.Truth be told it is almost impossible to find nursing bras when you are plus sized, let alone ones that are pretty!

Courtney Mongiat 2011-02-24 23:06:15

Love this bra for sleep -- very comfortable.

Julie Butler 2011-02-24 22:49:48

I looked and looked for the perfect nursing bra, and this was IT! It was well-constructed and durable, and so comfortable I slept in it, too! I'm grateful Bravado has so many styles to fit so many needs. I wore Bravado bras for 8 months while I nursed my first child, and I'm about to invest in another set with baby number 2 on the way! Thank you BRAVADO!

I tried on this bra in both the butterscotch colour and the leopard print. The leopard print seemed to have a totally different fit and support than the plain bra - it keeps me in place much better and lifts my heavy milk filled breasts! I use it to sleep in and even to work out in. For some reason the plain coloured bra in this same style didn't fit as nicely. Love the leopard print bra!

I gave birth two weeks ago to my first child and this bra has been a miracle. I'm a 40 F now that my milk has come in, so needless to say it's tough to find a good nursing bra - this one is awesome. It's soft and comfortable and actually fits my body without making me feel like I'm wearing a cadillac. I'm going to order 2 more - without a doubt the best bra I've worn, nursing or not. Worth every penny.

Kenyon Nahvipour 2011-02-24 18:52:39

LOVE these. I have worn my original two to shreds - literally! When pregnant with baby #2, I bought two more. I wear them for comfortable night nursing.

Mandy Kratzer 2011-02-24 17:27:27

This is a great bra! I wore my first one out because I continued to sleep in it after I quit nursing.

Brooke Church 2011-02-24 15:59:04

I loved your bras when I fit into them! They were comfortable and well made. I wore mine right out!Unfortunately, during my 3rd pregnancy I outgrew them. It is hard to find anything in a 34 I or J. Not sure where I am, because it is hard to find anything comfortable!

emily custard 2011-02-24 15:56:23

these are sooooo comfy - great for the first few weeks and for sleeping in for as long as you are nursing. I'm wearing one now!!

Stacey Faris 2011-02-24 15:43:31

I have two of these bras from when I was nursing my daughter. I am now 21 weeks pregnant with number two and wear them to sleep in already! They are extremely comfortable, easy to use when nursing and look great under clothes. I'm ready to start ordering my new ones soon!

Erin Sunseri 2011-02-24 15:15:14

This is one of the best bras I've found... finding a nursing bra in these larger sizes was not easy! This is still a bra I'm wearing now that I'm not nursing. Highly recommend this

Marie Pellerin 2011-02-24 13:20:45

I am a 36H now that my baby is here. Before she was born, I had bought two of the M size, because they fit then. Even though my size isn't on the size chart for this bra, these bras are stretchy enough that I can comfortably wear them all day, while still providing good support. The clips are easy to do one-handed, and the bra fabric comes down all the way (good for nursing with my big boobs)

Leah Lowe 2011-02-24 12:46:42

This bra is comfy, but I can't really wear it in public. I am a small gal with rather ample bosom and it all smooshes out to the side.I do prefer the Bravado clip to other expensive bras. When you clip the cup back up, it is secure.

Heather Ganshorn 2011-02-24 12:38:13

I LOVE this bra, and will continue to buy it after I'm done BF'ing. Before pregnancy, I was a 34E-F, and was paying $150 and up for bras at a specialty shop. If only I'd known about Bravado!

Amy Gamet 2011-02-24 12:33:07

Three months along with my second, and already I ordered my Bravado favorite from my last pregnancy. This bra is SO COMFORTABLE that I ordered one for my sister who's not even pregnant. Just unbelievably comfy. So last time I was pregnant I lived in these things, and after the baby was born they were a Godsend. I'm embarrassed to say I still have those bras, and after hundreds of washes and wears their best days are long behind them. So when my breasts got HUGE and sore with this new pregnancy, I bought three new ones and WOW. It's like the perfect mattress or something. Just wonderful!!

Sonia 2011-02-24 12:17:19

Not particularly attractive but sooo comfortable. This is my go-to bra for late pregnancy/early nursing.

Elizabeth Brooks 2011-02-24 12:04:24

I ordered two of these in the M size. I have so much trouble finding bras that fit and support. These are great. I was 36 F/G pre-pregnancy and at 5 months in, they are growing again. This bra is going to give the space I need and I like the clips when it is time to breastfeed.

Heather B 2011-02-24 12:03:06

This bra saved my sanity! I needed to wear nursing pads for the first few weeks of breastfeeding, and this bra allowed me to do so when all the other bras failed - at NIGHT! This bra didn't slip, move, or allow the pads to slip around, either. I am excited to try out other styles with this baby! Thanks!

Carrie 2010-12-21 23:32:44

When I first began breastfeeding, I spent over $60 a bra. I recently bought my first Bravado, and it cost me about half the price and is so much better! I am an odd size (34F/G) and your S fits PERFECTLY! What a great find!

Miranda 2010-09-08 10:51:20

This bra is great. I ordered the S size and was very pleased. Pre-preg I was a 32/34 D, went up to a DD during pregnancy, and was DDD or bigger post partum. This was the only bra that fit me the first 8 weeks. It was excellent for night time too because my breasts did not fall out of the cup. I would even suggest ordering 2, since you'll need something to wear while the other is in the wash! I also ordered the Body Silk which DID NOT have enough support.
