I am a new mother and thanks to breastfeeding have to search for size 36 E or F, depending on the brand. I came across this bra and because of the other good reviews, I decided to try it.
Packaging:
The bra I received had no order slip/receipt inside like Amazon packages normally have. The box had obviously been opened, as it was bent and torn at the top. When I took the bra out, it was completely stretched out, like bras in the store that have been tried on. This makes me think someone else returned this bra before I got it.
Material:
I'm not crazy about the feel of this bra's material. It reminds me of a "grandma" bra, and is very very thin. If I put breast pads in, they show around the edges and look bulky under most shirts.
Straps and Band:
The straps and band of this bra are fantastic. Very, very supportive without feeling like I have to tighten them to the point of being uncomfortable to get some lift. The extra support comes from the lower part of the cup which stays in place while the top layer comes down to breastfeed. This is surprisingly comfortable and unlike other bras I have tried, the "line" of this extra material is not visible through the bra.
Overall I'm satisfied with this bra, but I like my Bravado bra and nursing tank so much better. The material feels much more breathable and doesn't irritate my skin. I was disappointed to get a bra that was stretched out and was in damaged packaging, but I'm happy that I finally found an option other than Bravado. I may try the other Anita bras just because it is so difficult to find my size anywhere else.Get more detail about
