but the sizing is a bit larger when compared to the goddess sports bra. Nice as it separates the breasts and does not dig in. I've ordered a smaller size and will re-review when I've worn the new size a bit.
I plan on using this size for sleep and early engorgement.
Ok for some but not most...

This bra is very comfy. However, it has some flaws. The biggest of which is the release on the straps. They come undone constantly, and not just from bending over. If I turn in the wrong direction or there is the slightest bit of slack on the strap it comes undone. I often sleep in this bra and while sleeping the straps come open and my pads shift down. I have often leaked milk through and ruin shirts and pjs because of this. It's very annoying. Also, as mentioned before, the bra comes up very high making it impossibe to wear with about half of my wardrobe and the back rides up so I find myself constantly pulling it down. Also the side support is not that great as it doesn't extend far enough around the side. The band does bunch but it's not uncomfortable. Over all it's not a terrible nursing bra, but I have to say I have been dissappointed with it and would not purchase another one. If u aren't very big in the sides and don't plan to sleep in this bra I'd say it's ok. Otherwise, I wouldn't choose this bra.

I can confirm a lot of comments by previous reviewers - the bottom band is not as stretchy as many other bras and bunches up with wear but I did not find this uncomfortable. For me the clips would half click undone when I bent over but did not come all the way undone. I did not mind the lack of separation in the center front - I found that the structural frame separated my breasts enough to prevent sweating and the 'uniboob' silhouette was not bad enough to bother me. It is very high in front though, and often showed under button front shirts or V-necks, even if they weren't deep. It is very supportive while remaining comfortable and is true to size. Its easy to take out only one breast or both for pumping. The cups are not cone-shaped and don't hold my breasts too far to the side. It's a solid bra though not perfect, but I'm definitely using it regularly. I'm glad I got it but not so glad that I'm going to order another one.

Since I had ordered the wrong size initially, I must say that Mommy Gear has incredible customer service. They shipped the right size out and I had it before I had sent the other one back. My wife is very pleased with the new, right fitting bra. Thanks Mommy Gear.
great for sleeping

I started wearing this bra during pregnancy at night when I started needing something with more support. I was in the wrong size and experienced the issues with the band folding and bunching which was uncomfortable. However, I was remeasured 2 months postpartum and now that I am in the correct size (36 K) have not had the issues with the band. I have found this bra to be super comfortable to sleep in and highly recommend it to those who want more support than the normal "sleep bras" provide.
Best bra, for now

I encountered a few problems with this bra, both mentioned in previous reviews. The band bunches up under the cups, and the clasps come undone when bending over. However, and this is a big issue, it is the only bra I've found that comes in a K cup, supports me, and DOES NOT GIVE ME CLOGGED DUCTS like some other supportive bras have done. So until my little milk monster cuts back, this is the bra for me! And it is super-comfy, thank heavens.

This bra is supportive. The cups aren't as round as I'd like- it creates somewhat of a uniboob (for my hard to fit 34 j/k breasts). I agree with a previous viewer that the bottom band is not as stretchy as other bras in that it scrunches up after a couple hours of wear and it comes up in the back.
It is definitely the most supportive bras that I have tried. For the most part it is comfortable to wear and offers fairly easy access to nursing. I also agree that it is hard to wear scoop/square/v-neck/lower cut tops because it comes up fairly high at the chest (almost like a cami). I ordered 2 just because it is the most decent bra I can find for my size.

This bra is supportive, I like the shoulder straps. Cups aren't as round as I'd like. Bottom band is not as stretchy as other bras so I'd recommend a band size up, also band crumples after a couple hours of wear and it comes up in the back.
Just Okay

This bra is okay. I love that it is vented at the bottom, but every time I bent over, it came unclasped - for me, this was awful! I also found the fabric around the breast to be uncomfortable and prefer a bra without that extra layer.
very supportive

If you are looking for a good supportive nursing bra, this is the one! It is very comfortable to wear and offers fairly easy access to nursing. Be aware that when you wear this bra, you cannot wear scoop/square/v-neck/lower cut tops with it as it comes up fairly high at the chest (almost like a cami). Marking as 4 stars because I have had trouble with the clasps staying closed particularly when bending over to pick up my son. Despite this fact, I enjoy this bra and am happy with it overall.
