It's hard to find a size 38A bra that is not substantial. The straps don't dig into you because they are substantial. I like it because it doesn't show through a shirt. I just wish you had it in white and maybe peach or pint. Thank you for a wonderful product!Buy Amoena Seamless Soft Cup!

i really like the idea of the adjustable size of this bra with it snapping in place, but longterm wear is a little uncomfortable, the band tends to rub my skin the wrong way. Buy La Leche League "Wrap 'N Snap" Maternity/Nursing Bra #4101!

This bra is so wonderful! It is very comfortable and looks great under my shirts. I have been wearing it the past two weeks and am not due for another week in a half. It is definitely what I would consider a good size bra if you have a little extra coming out of the top of your 34D bra's, yet it will definitely hold for the milk season, too. It is my favorite bra..ever!Buy Motherhood Maternity: web only full coverage soft cup no wire nursing bra!

There was no cup support at all on this nursing bra. I think when you are nursing you need more support than normal and no bra/nursing bra makers seem to be able to figure out how to do that. Buy Playtex Women's Nursing Wirefree Bra!

Comfortable, functional, looks great, and I love that it comes with inserts to successfully hide nursing pads. This is the bra I wear when I leave the house, otherwise I also like Bravado's Original nursing bra.Buy Bravado Seamless Nursing Bra!

As a new mom, I tried several different nursing bras, and this one has the best fit, support, and ease of use; not to mention that the breatheable cotton is a must for me. Now I'm back to stock up on these!Buy QT Molded Soft Cup Nursing Bra (370)!

I was excited to get this product after seeing it online. When it came I was pleased with the color and softness of the gown. I held it up to make sure it would fit around my after baby belly and it seemed like a nice fit. That was my mistake. I should have tried it on before washing it. I put the gown on for the first time that night and what a disappointment! The cut of the gown is horrible. I think a person would have to have size double z's to fill out the top enough to fit some what decently. I am a double D and come no where close to filling out the top. It seems to run very big. I honestly think I could have sewn together a better product and I don't sew. Buy Aimee Bra-less Nursing Nightgown!

I've had this bra now for about a month and so far it's working out well. Seems to be good quality and as comfortable as you'll probably get at this point. My only complaint is that they seem to run on the small side--I'd say about 2 sizes too small. If you can find a store that sells these bras, I'd highly recommend trying them on. Then ordering through Amazon since it's so much cheaper. I ended up having to pay almost $30 for ground shipping through FedEx to send back the 2 that I originally bought.Buy Anita Maternity Women's Underwire Nursing Bra #5035!

I am nursing twins and the extra milk produced makes a big difference. I never had a problem with blocked ducts with my singletons, but with the twins I was getting them all the time. They were very painful and of course would sometimes get infected. I tried sleep bras and lots of other bras by Medela as well as other brands, but all of them gave me blocked ducts by pressing on me at some point. Only this bra managed to give support without creating pressure points that caused blockages. Every now and then I wear one of the other bras, but every time I do it I get blockages. These bras also go in the washer and dryer. The only downside is that they cover a lot of area so will tend to show if you wear a v-neck or a wide neck shirt.Buy Medela Comfort Maternity Nursing Bra - Nude - Extra Large!

As a Plus Size Woman without the Plus Size Cup size (I'm a 46B) it is very difficult and almost impossible to find bras normally and it was even harder when I started shopping for nursing bras. I wanted something without underwires yet with good support for when my milk comes in after delivery. I started wearing this the day after it came and this bra has all the features I was looking for. It is comfortable enough to sleep in in and I can open and close the cups easily one handed. I also liked the added bonus of the grafics designed for the babies benfit. The price was right too. I would recommend this nursing bra to anyone.Buy Goddess Women's Love At First Sight Nursing Bra #GD1001!

Please try on this bra (postpartum) before purchase. It basically feels like control top pantyhose for your boobs. Very, very tight. YOU WILL LEAK. Note that there are no snaps/clasps in the back. You pull it on over your head like a sports bra. Only a sports bra is at least a little roomy and stretchy. This is like a nylon corset for your chest. And the clasps you use to unhook each cup pop open on their own all the time. Hold your baby against your shirt and it pops open. Hug someone and it pops open. Your dog looks at you funny and it pops open. There are much better nursing bras on the market. Don't waste your money on this one.Buy Medela Comfort Nursing Bra - Black!

After an exhaustive search, I have concluded that this is the best nursing bra out there for me. It fits all of my requirements: it is sexy, supportive, has no underwire, comes in black, and isn't terribly expensive. The only problem? I was a 32DD before I got pregnant and 4 months after giving birth, I am a 34G. It doesn't come in my size! Elle, if you're reading this, PLEASE consider manufacturing a G cup for those of us with small bands and large busts! For the record, here is my feedback on some similar items. Keep in mind this might not apply to smaller cup sizes:

-Melinda G Glorious Contour: Sexy, cute, pretty supportive, but get the right cup size or your boobs will "marshmallow" over the deeply plunging cups.
-Bravado Sugar & Spice Micorfiber: Really pretty, but totally unsupportive
-Bravado Exquisite: Looks nothing like the photos, hideous colors! Support was pretty good, though.
-Freya Rosalie: A little bit school-marmy for my taste, and flimsy material might not last
-Anita softcup 5062: Fairly supportive but not incredibly sexy; don't wear every day or it will stretch.
-Gilligan & O'Malley Nursing Sleep Bra: I got this in 38D just for sleeping and it is unsupportive but better than nothing

Hope this helps! I wish bra manufacturers would realize that those of us with large busts want to look sexy, too! Breastfeeding isn't the *only* reason we shop for new bras. How about a little lift, a little lace, and a little lightening up of the price while you're at it?Buy Elle Macpherson Intimates Maternelle No-wire drop cup bra!

I love that this bra comes in large cup sizes with smaller band sizes and is underwire - a surprisingly difficult combination to find. I also like that this bra isn't as expensive as others.

Unfortunately, this bra felt uncomfortable to me. I tried four sizes (32G, 32H, 34G, and 34H) and they were all a bit uncomfortable. The shoulder straps, which are fairly wide in the sizes I tried (maybe slightly wider than my thumb at the knuckle), scratched and dug into my skin enough to annoy me. Also, the fabric that rested under my arm pit rubbed a bit, irritating my skin in all four sizes I tried on (I took all four to a lactation consultant to help fit me).

I returned the Anita bras and tried the Bella Materna Seamless Full Cup Underwire Nursing Bra (#1361) in a 34G and it fits great (as long as I nurse/pump about every 4 hours; otherwise it gets snug with all that milk! - sure wish they made an 'H' size). The shoulder straps in the Bella Materna bra are soft (they don't dig or rub) and (once washed) there is no irritating fabric rubbing on my skin from any part of the bra - it's all very smooth and soft. I also use the Bravado Body Silk Seamless Nursing Bra (not underwire and yet looks nice and is surprising supportive - although not as good as underwire).

To hide nursing pads in my Bella Materna bras, I use the removable molded foam cups from my Bravado bras and stick my nursing pads to them and put them in my bra - they work great together! (I also tried the Bella Materna Lightly Padded Full Cup Bra (#1261), but the band seemed to be a bit tighter and I don't think the built-in padding allows much room to grow during the day - the Seemless Full Cup is better in my opinion. I ordered directly from the Bella Materna website and received wonderful customer service from 'Anne' and received free goodies with my order - a book, lullaby CD, and samples of organic laundry detergent for hand washing my bras - of course, I usually just put them in a pillow case in the washer on the 'gentle cycle' and then let them air dry.)

While I really wanted to love this Anita nursing bra, the fit wasn't for me. It felt awkward and uncomfortable. I'm sure there are plenty of moms who love this nursing bra, but I'm not one of them. I would recommend spending a little more on a Bella Materna Seamless Full Cup Underwire Nursing Bra (#1361) instead if you have a small band size, need a large cup size, and want underwire.Buy Anita Maternity Women's Microfiber Nursing Bra #5068!

This is bra number two in my four bra buying spree. My first chioce is the seamless by bravado but this is my second choice. It fits nicley but the cup material is a little thin for pads, which depending on your kind may show through. everything else about this bra is great. Good bra for what you pay. I would recommend it.Buy Bravado Microfiber nursing bra!

A well-made bra with comfortable straps and good-quality material. I agree with previous reviews that have stated the band size runs large. If you wear a 36, for example, I would highly recommend ordering a 34.Buy Anita Maternity Women's Underwire Nursing Bra #5041!

I tried on several bras and was started to think that I wasn't going to be able to find one. That is until I found this bra. It is super comfortable and the snaps are easy to work with.

This bra started out good. It had nice support and felt fine but after less than a month, the wire started to stab me and now feels like it's going to break through the fabric. This is the third bra I've tried and the most expensive so I'm very disappointed. The best bra I've had is cheap and the most comfortable but it offers no support.Buy Medela Underwire Seamless Bra - Basic Colors!

This is truly the best nursing tank I have found - it is worth every penny. it is so stylish and comfortable. i have 3 of them and wear them non-stop. the length is also excellent - falling slightly below the hips, which is perfect for hiding the postpartum bulge. plus, in a time where you are uncomfortable with your changing body in terms of post-delivery, they actually made me feel confident and a bit sexy wearing them!Buy Bravado!

I hate bras. They either flatten me down, are incredibly itchy or make my back ache. This one doesn't flatten and is so comfortable, I actually forget it is on.
The nursing functionality on this one isn't the best. The only thing holding the bra strap is a flimsy piece of elastic. But it is so wonderful to have something that doesn't make me want to scratch my skin off. Buy Bravado Body Silk Seamless Maternity/Nursing Bra!

I am a relatively small woman with naturally large breasts. As such I have never been able to wear a bra without an underwire. However, when I got pregnant and found my once comfortable C cups very full Ds, it became painful to sleep without a bra. I purchased this bra with the hopes to find relief while I slept from both the breast tenderness and the soreness associated with the underwire bras I was used to. It was heaven sent! I couldn't believe something as soft and gentle as a t-shirt could provide just the right amount of support to keep me contained but comfortable. I had to come back and order more!

Well I've had a bag of bras that I've bought over the past few years, that just don't end up fitting, for one reason or another. And usually the reason is "too tight around the back". Well I got the package with 3 colors in it and 3 hook width. I can now wear 75% of those bras. I would only suggest that you use a more beige, beige. The beige I recieve, was more like a dark ivory.

This is a very comfortable sleeping bra, super easy to unlatch with one hand. The only thing I didn't like was after a few washes it has turned a dingy yellow (even after I've tried every whitening detergent and additive I could find). I think it has something to do with the stretchiness of the fabric.Buy Medela Comfort Maternity Nursing Bra - White - Medium!

This bra is expensive but it was the first bra that really worked for me after trying a Medela, a Bravado, and 2 different department store nursing bras. FINALLY, a bra that my nipples don't show through, a bra that is comfortable, supportive, doesn't bind, and has lasted for several months and still fits great/looks great even though I wear it almost constantly and wash it every 3 days or so.
As far as the reviewer who recommended the Gap bra, just FYI the GAP company has been caught using child labor to manufacture their clothing not once, but TWICE, the second time the children were even being abused with oily rags being stuffed in their mouths when they cried. I personally don't want to give any of my money to that company. Bella Materna bras are manufactured in the united states, so it goes to reason their costs will be a little higher. The quality is high and I will buy from them again. Buy Bella Materna Women's Padded Nursing Bra #1221!

To start, I wear a 36G (in non-nursing sizes, so in this bra I'd wear a 36H). My size is VERY hard to find. I usually end up compromising with a 38DDD or a 40DDD. I thought I'd try this bra because they had a 36H.

Its itchy, definitely not cotton. Its very tight, which is very bad if you are breastfeeding! The 36 part fits me great but the cup is tight and feels terrible on me. It is very supportive, yes, but maybe a little too much so. It reminds me of wearing a minimizer. The seams in the cup are irritating. The band around the sides/back is pretty wide, feels like its in my armpits. The straps are wide but the wide part does not sit on my shoulders, the pressure spot is on the thin part of the strap and its very uncomfortable.

In summary, this bra works as a bra, is supportive, but is very uncomfortable for me. Buy Bravado! The Supreme Nursing Bra!

These bras run a little small, and they are very tight when you first get them (like pantyhose). So order a bigger size than you think you need. Also, I'm not crazy about the straps. They show at the neck even under tshirts, and they sit right on your shoulder muscle. I always seem to get a headache when I wear it, and I think it is from the constant pressing on that muscle. Why three stars? I think if I had gotten a larger size, then the muscle problem would not have been so bad. And it is pretty comfortable and very easy to nurse from. I sure wish I could have traded it out with a bigger size to see.Buy Medela Comfort Maternity Nursing Bra - White - Large!
