Maternity Bra

Having purchased a TON of nursing bra's--in all styles and prices-- while still pregnant, I can say without reservation that this one is the best.

Being large busted, but relatively small around (am normally a 32E, but am currently a 36E), it's very difficult to find bra's that provide adequate support, are comfortable, and that don't look like a granny-brasiere. Further, it's pretty much impossible to find a soft cup/non-underwire that does all of the above.

This bra is supportive, comfortable, pretty (the lace in the cleavage really does look like a cami under tops) and your breasts don't look like 'uni-boob.' One tip for new nursing moms: definitely don't use underwire bra's. I made that mistake at first (for the support) and got recurring mastitis--not fun AT ALL.

As a mother breastfeeding her third child, I can honestly say this is the best nursing bra I have found. I ordered the black bra, and it's attractive, very supportive, and truly comfortable. The straps are quite wide and soft, alleviating much of the pressure on my shoulders. I wear a 34 H, and I feel confident and well supported in this bra, which is a true first with a nursing bra. Also, the cup clasps are easy to use, yet very secure. As with all bras, spending more upfront saves money in the long run. I would recommend doing a Google search for Anita's sizing charts before you order. The band size on this bra runs large, so I ordered one size smaller than I would normally wear and got a perfect fit. Happy nursing!

I give this bra 5 stars because it is the only one I have found out there that lets you pump and nurse from the same bra. One flap will hold your pump flanges in place if you want to pump; the other flap will allow your little one(s) to nurse if you want to do that. Its available in nude and white - and I received the nude color and was satisfied with the color.

The material is thick and seems of good quality, although the bra isn't the most "comfy" in the world. If you are just nursing, I would look around for a more comfortable bra. If you are just pumping, I'm not sure if there is something else more comfy or not. I know you can buy a cheap sportsbra and just cut holes in the middle of it if you are worried about the cost.

I believe a previous poster mentioned she had to hook it on the last hook - me too. I even bought the hook extender. Keep in mind that you will change sizes (get smaller) a little bit after delivery (although my cup size has remained the same (6 weeks post delivery). I have the shoulder straps as far as they can go - wish they would go just a tad bit further - but its ok.

I recommend this bra - especially if you plan to pump AND nurse. If you want to nurse only - there are probably more affordable and comfortable ones out there. If you want to pump only - I haven't tried others out.

(btw - I use a Medela brand pump and accessories in case that matters)
