I have only just received this bra yesterday...but am already wearing it. If you have a larger bust and want some legit support while you nurse/pump, this bra is it! I love the fact that it fits me so well and is streamlined under my clothes. I like this bra so much that I returned another one I ordered and requested another one of these.

This review is coming from someone who can try on dozens of bras in a store and NONE fit. I was skeptical about ordering one without trying it on first, but the reviews were pretty good. I decided to give it a shot and it's GREAT! I couldn't believe how well it fit, how much lift it gave me (mind you, I ordered at 40GG and need all the help I can get) All the other nursing bras I've tried were awful, no lift and just a waste. The only thing that annoys me about this bra is that it's very squeaky... The straps where the clips are squeak and it drives me crazy. Maybe I just need to wear it in a little more. Other than that, it's great!

Great fit, product is as described. Only issue is the clasp to unhook for feeding baby requires two hands-not ideal for feeding in public....oven only had bra for a few hours,so perhaps I just need to get the hang of this bra...

Nice and supportive

To be an underwire this is a rather comfortable bra. It is also very supportive. The clasp takes two hands to close but that really isn't too much of an issue. Overall it's a great nursing bra and fits well.

This is the only bra I could find that gave me the support I needed. 2 things I dislike about it are you can't use one hand to close the clasp after feeding and the support material in the cup tends to squeeze the breast some. But if your having trouble finding a nursing bra that supports you this is the one to get. I would buy them again.

I really like this bra for the comfort of it. I ordered it in a 42 f and it is true to size, both in band and cup. Its not very pretty though and the cup comes up really high on your chest. The snaps are kinda hard to open with one hand too. However im giving it 3 stars because none of those things are deal breakers for me and its the best nursing bra I have found.

First, let me say that I loved this bra. The fit was great, the support was amazing and it wasn't too uncomfortable. It also hid the "headlights" I always seem to have when nursing, lol. Unfortunately, I got mastitis and several plugged ducts, coinciding with the times I wore this bra. I was so bummed, but had to retire it. Guess I'm one of the lucky women that can only wear softcup while nursing and has to deal with the terrible shape and lack of support.

I have never felt so comfortable in a bra. It supports my breasts like no other; I feel almost weightless! I have a 38F and find it fits perfect. I'm very very happy with it.

Whether nursing or not, if you have large breasts and want seamless then this is the bra for you. I lived in Canada for a couple years and easily spent double than what you will pay here. I struggle with needing support and wanting seamless. I love the band, the straps and the cup. The closure takes a little getting use to but I have grown to like it better. I have been nursing for just over a year and my first elomi's underwire broke. I was told in Canada that they discontinued making this bra and I never thought to check into it further back then. I am so happy I looked online. I will be buying several more soon. When I stop nursing I will continue to wear this bra. I have never found a bra I liked as much as this even prepregnancy.

This is an amazing bra for women with larger chests. I'm a 36H and this offers tons of support.
The price is a steal as well. I've paid more than $100 per bra for a good quality supportive bra. $49.99 is a bargain for a bra of this quality and construction!! The bra offers smooth lines under my clothes as well. Other nursing bras left my breasts looking lumpy where the clasps are.

I think this is an absolutely fabulous bra.
Pros:
It is very supportive
Has strong clips that won't wear out after a couple of months of regular use
Great coverage
Sturdy straps
Seems to fit true to size
Cons:
Cup fabric does not seem to stretch at all to allow for feeding cycle changes
In the bigger band sizes--42, 44--it only goes up to F or FF and then you cannot get a bigger cup size. I ordered a 42FF and it fit exactly like my 44G in spite of being 2 cup sizes bigger.
Overall a great bra with good support.

A Great Supportive Nursing Bra

I am currently nursing my 2nd child and had all but given up hope of having the girls back in their pre-pregnancy position. This bra gave me hope again.
It is fully supportive and comfortable. I know the straps are wide but with us more well-endowed ladies, this helps keep them from digging down into our shoulders.
I'm not a huge fan of the clasp but have found that it doesn't pop open like other nursing bra clasps do. Maybe that's the upside. It can be opened with one hand (with practice) but usually I need both hands to get it closed.
As far as nursing goes, this bra has super easy access. I found the placement of the breast was different than in my other bras for my son at first but we seem to have figured this out after a couple of weeks. No there is not huge padding like in some other underwire nursing bras but you can't have easy access to nurse AND heavy padding that won't slide/fold down for baby to nurse. My solution was to buy one of those nursing tanks that attach to your bra to give you more coverage on your belly and chest (undercover mama in case you're wondering).
The only downside for me with this bra so far is that after nursing I've found the cup needs some serious readjusting to get the bra laying nice & flat again.
As a side note, I am surprised to see so many pregnant ladies reviewing a nursing bra before they've had their babies. I recommend that you hold off on reviewing a bra until after you've actually tried all its functions. I bought nursing bras before I had my 1st child and found they were completely useless after I had my baby. Yes, you'll need them so buy them but be prepared to buy a different kind once you have the baby (although this one might work for you after all).
All in all, I think this is a great bra to go out in. I think I'll keep my other bras - comfy as they are - for around the house and while I sleep.

This bra offers the best fit I have ever had. Keeps the ladies high and dry and the wires lay flat against my chest. I had to order more bras and my only complaint was that I only got 7 months out of that last bra... I popped a wire. I know if you are larger sized, it's a lot of weight and stress to the wires, but I really wish they could make stronger wires.

Finally a nursing bra that supports and is big enough! It's comfortable, pretty, and supportive. I've been through a lot of bras since the baby and I've finally found the right one. Follow the size chart carefully! One review says it's not accurate but it was for me. I wish it came in white.

I went from DD pre-pregnancy to F at mid-pregnancy. Love the support and construction of this bra. The fabric is a little stiff but I think that is necessary to provide such structure and support. I will definitely purchase more when my milk comes in and can buy the correct size.

This is the first bra I've worn since I've started nursing that actually offered support comparable to my pre-pregnancy bras. And I tried some very good bras (Bravado, etc.). I have been nursing for a while now, so I don't know if the features that offer such good support (underwire, etc.) would cause problems (mastitis, etc.) - because my milk supply is well established. I do know I was cautioned against underwire during the first little bit.
I'm not sure if it's just me - but I found the sizing to be a bit different than expected. I had been wearing a 36DDD(E) - so that's what I ordered. It fits - but honestly, I think I'd be better off in a 34F, maybe even a double F. I find the cup to be a bit small. And I have the band on the tightest clasp - which I usually don't like to do right off the bat. I like to wait until material has gotten stretched out to go to the tightest clasp. But I was so thrilled for the support it offered, I just couldn't stand to return it and wait for a different size.
I will say...if you've been looking for a nursing bra that offers support for a substantial chest - this is it. I finally feel like I don't look so dumpy because of how poorly supported my chest was by other nursing bras.

I have purchased 3 of these bras. I have to say that they are the best I have found. I like that the larger cup sizes have wider straps that don't dig into my shoulders as bad. I have a huge chest and it is very frustrating trying to find bras in my size so I was very happy to see that this bra came in a 34 GG, which is exremely hard to find. I also live in a very remote area, so I have to make the majority of my purchases online and I am happy with my experience with mommygear as well.

I have been nursing for about 6 months and have tried a few other nursing bras. They just weren't quite what I was looking for. I decided to buy this one because of the other reviews. I wear a 38G and this bra is great! Great support and comfortable to wear. Only thing I don't really care for is how hard it is to unclasp and clasp but I don't mind too much since the support is the best I have found. Will buy these again.

I wish I would have found this bra sooner after having my second son. I was just wearing the tank tops from Target and hated having a uni-boob for a chest. This was one of the only bras that we found that worked for me. I actually took the long drive and drove to MommyGear to check it out and find out which bra would work for me. They were very helpful and since having my son, who is now almost 21 months old, I now have a daughter and ordered 2 more so that I would have a few more on hand to use. Thank you very much.

I got this bra in a 36H...fits perfect! The sizing chart is very accurate. My breasts are where they belong :) which makes me very happy. The clasps are a little hard to do as mentioned by others, but I'm sure, through use, they'll get easier. My only complaint is that the wires dig into my nearly 10 month pregnant belly but that is only temporary. All in all I am 100% in love with this bra.

This is my first nursing bra. I think I will be very happy with it. It is a little tight around the band but I think It will be ok once I have my baby. I have a very large chest ( 38 H ) So I was concerned with finding a good nursing bra, but this bra seems very supportive and fits nicely.

be careful with underwire

This is my fifth baby, and I have gotten larger chested with each baby. I need a lot of support (36 G). This was my favorite bra, because I liked the support, and I liked the way I looked in this bra. My baby is three months old, and I have started getting painful plugged ducts. I didn't blame it on the bra at first, until the third time it happened. I am so sad. I will not be able to wear this bra again. ED NOTE: Be sure that the underwire is not putting any pressure on your breast tissue, especially in the under arm area. If you like this style, but prefer a softcup check out the Elomi Beatrice Nursing Bra.

First let me say that I found out on a Friday that the local shop that I originally ordered this bra from was not honest about how quickly they would get more in. I wear a 38FF and did not have any other nursing bras. I was due to deliver the upcoming Tuesday and did not want to wait an additional 2-4 weeks for it to come in. I called MommyGear to see if they had them in and the lady who answered sent my bras out right away. They arrived the day before I delivered and I'm extremely grateful!
That said, I love this bra! This is the first time that I've purchased a bra that fit for nursing. Normally I just squeezed into a double d! They are so comforatable and look great beneath my shirts. My back feels so much better now that I have them. The clasps are not easily undone, but since I love the bras fit, I don't mind it at all.
If you are well endowed, I would highly recommend this bra!

I ordered this bra in a 38h which is my size since my milk came in and it was too big. I used the easy exchange and got a half size down and the bra fit very well, provided great support and was very smooth under clothes. But I still returned it. What I didn't like about the bra was that it made my breasts point out towards the sides instead of forward. This is an issue I have with many of the bras I try for larger busted women, so maybe it's just me and not the bra. Honestly, it is one of the only decent nursing bras I have found and I have looked everywhere! I recommend giving it a chance and if you don't like it, the return/exchange policy is amazing!

I bought one of this bra while I was pregnant and loved it so much, I bought two more two weeks after giving birth. However I have been having fevers associated with plugged ducts couple times and one of them turned into mastitis. The lactation consultant that I was seeing said it could be because of the bra that I'm wearing; it does not stretch. I wish I was told that before paying $150! It's definitely beautiful, but I recommend testing it for couple weeks before buying more than one.

I am a 34E and purchased 10 - 15 nursing bras before getting it right. I was becoming very frustrated before finding this one. It is a great bra, providing excellent support - the best I have found! The price on this is fair, as it is mid-range and is perfect for everyday wear. I have both nude and black!

I wear a 38 DDD and this bra dug into my ribcage in the front. I would have liked thicker straps and a band with more than two hooks in the back. The fabric was sturdy and I liked the nursing clasps. Overall, it was close but no cigar.
