Cake Maternity Croissant Soft Wire Nursing Bra for Breastfeeding, Full Cup Flexi Wire Supportive Maternity Bra

I gained 25 lbs with my pregnancy and gals ballooned from a 34C+ to 36DD with the weight gain and when my milk came in like a tidal wave. While I was at home on maternity leave, I wore the Bravado Body Silk seamless nursing bra  Bravado Designs Womens' Body Silk Seamless Nursing Bra - Butterscotch - Medium  and thought I would never need a different bra. Then I went back to work and quickly realized that I needed underwire to lift and separate so that I look good in my professional clothes again.I headed to Nordstrom and tried on several very nice underwire nursing bras: Freya 'Pure', Le Mystere "Mama Mia", HotMilk "Forever Yours" and this bra. All pretty pricey in the $50-$80 range. Though they were all very nice and beautiful, I knew this one was the winner as soon as I put it on. The things I love about this bra are:1. The fit is perfect. My body may not be perfect right now but this bra fits so nicely.2. The wires are so comfortable. No pinching, poking. I forget I'm even wearing underwire.3. The wide band around the ribs is comfortable and flattering. It take three hooks to close. Everything lays flat. And because it's so wide, it does not create unsightly rolls/wings out of the back fat. There are also many rows of hooks which makes it very adjustable as my body changes during post-partum.4. There are extra wires under the arm for added support and to keep everything looking smooth.5. The shoulder straps are wide, durable, and comfortable. Really helps if your load is heavy like mine. I know thin straps are prettier but if they leave painful red indents on your shoulders, why bother?5. The cups are wonderful. They are not thin but they are not thick with foam. They give a wonderful smooth t-shirt bra like shape that looks very natural. They are very pliable so it is easy to fold them down and smooth them back up several times a day. Compared to the other bras I tried which had thick almost push up bra like padding foam in the cups, this was the sure winner! The foamed cups in the other bras were hard to fold down and once folded, the foam in the cups would crease. It was hard to make the cups completely smooth again once they were folded. I questioned the longevity of the cups in the other brands due to this problem. If I'm going to pay $50-$80 for a bra, I didn't want to have to deal with things like this.6. The clips are easy to operate, one-handed too.7. The material. It feels like sueded cotton. Soft, comfortable, nice support. Melts right into all my curves but makes them better. Looks great by itself and under clothes.So I just love love love love love this bra! I bought and wore the black one right out of the store because I didn't want to take it off once I had it on. Then one day I just decided to see if Amazon carried it and of course Amazon does...at a lower price too! So I picked up the nude. Two colors. Perfect for work. And I wear them on weekends instead of the Bravado which have been demoted to sleep time only now. LOL!Honestly, I felt like a hot mess when I first returned to work. How was I to feel confident when my hair was falling out, my gals were leaking, I had to pump all the time, and I didn't look or feel good? But these bras gave me so much confidence. Even when I had to go and buy new work clothes, I wasn't discouraged. So though I'm still currently nursing and pumping, I feel great and I think that I look great.

I have this bra in taupe and black. I love it, but I have to agree with two negative points other reviewers brought up:1. the underwire doesn't fill the cup, and the fabric covering the wires is brightly colored (taupe is purple, black is bright blue). The bra ends up folding down a bit between cups and exposing a bit of the colored strip as a result.2. The band of fabric that holds your strap in place while nursing gets baggy really fast and shows above the rest of the bra.But really those things don't matter. Honestly, my husband thought the strip of exposed skin between the bra and what is supposed to be inner fabric was intentional and sexy (like a bandage bra I guess?) nobody else sees it anyway. And the gaping that exposes the bright wire covering is only visible to me looking down at it.I love this bra despite those minor flaws because the fit is awesome, it's supportive even for big nursing breasts while being comfortable enough to sleep in. Also it's nice to have a thick fabric bra. Lined bras can be hard to work one-handed because you have to fold the lining under your breast to nurse, and the typical thin polyester most nursing bras are made of shows EVERYTHING and can stick brutally to your nips if they get damp. So this bra has by far worked out better than any other I've tried and has been the only one to have underwire, thick soft fabric, and come in large sizes. FYI it's not quite thick enough to completely hide nippels if you're wearing something thin, but if you're wearing a pattern or a thicker shirt it's not noticeable.

this is a fantastic nursing bra and really enhances and makes my breasts look their best. i never imagined a nursing bra would be this great. With my previous child I had avoided all underwire bras, but I was advised that for breasts as large as mine a lack of support was just as likely to cause mastitis or blocked ducts than the wires in a good supportive bra. So I decided to risk it especially as I had some soft cup sports bra types that were giving me grief, I truly was in need of support. It was risky having to order online and also with UK sizing but after much comparison and using size charts off Cake's own website I was able to order. I measured 38 rib cage and 46 at the bust line. I ordered 40F and it fits great. Possibly could go down in the band as I fit right in the middle of it...but I did not want to mess up the cup fit by going down in the band etc. These are costly bras but totally worth every penny.

Bra provides good support for large chested women. I purchased two bras, unfortunately I have had trouble with the underwire in both bras. The underwire in the first bra has wore a hole in the material and the second bra underwires are uneven. Otherwise the bra is comfortable and supportive.

Only reason I'm giving 3 stars is because this bra gives me the best fit and shape for my size. It's also quite comfortable...until 6 months after purchasing the wire pops out and stabs you. This has happened twice. Which would be a lot easier to swallow if it was half the price it is. The quality is terrible. I've never had this issue with other brands. But I will buy a 3rd because the only other underwire options in my size 32K start at 34 and I honestly should be wearing a 30, but I can't find any brand that makes a big enough cup in a 30 for me. I hope someone from the company reads these reviews and makes some changes to reinforce the material so this doesn't keep happening. Either that or significantly lower the price.

The material itself is soft and lovely but frankly, terrible bra. I didnt realise this until I had worn it...the undercup area manages to be scratchy, the flexible side wire (really, why?) bends and digs in. It should either have a stiff metal wire, or nothing. I honestly fail to see the point of it. Avoid!

This is THE BRA. It isn't cheap but it is well worth the price. It fits snug but doesn't cut in. The wiring is flexible and doesn't dig into my ribcage or armpits. The fabric is super soft, flexible and thick. The straps are supportive and comfortable. My main issue with other underwire maternity bras is that the wiring goes too high up between the breasts and that the cups are too closely spaced- so the wiring would dig into the sides of my breasts and press uncomfortably between them on the chest. This bra doesn't do it. I haven't tried breastfeeding in it but the openings seem big enough and it does not look like the bra will cut between the boob and the baby.

The BEST nursing bra I have ever bought and I've tried a few. Really supportive, gives a good silhouette under clothes and is fairly attractive as far as nursing bra's go. Got a cup size bigger than usual and fitted perfectly. Ended up buying two!

Fits perfectly, i wish i found it for myself years ago, when breastfeeding my first child. However need to note that currently my size is stable (baby is 4 mnths old), right after the birth i probably would prefer something more streatchable. Shoulder straps stay in place, 5 rows of eye and hook closings at the back and it fits ad your regular tshirt type bra, do that everything is on it's place:)

Great quality, super soft

Great, supportive nursing bra - very good quality. Comfortable and very flattering. Sizing is correct

Beast nursing bra ever! Great fit for big chested women!

Very nice material but many flaws. Band runs a little small ..not amazing support but not horrid. Was at least comfy at first but after a week it started itching like crazy!!!!!! I don't know why but the band is itchy at the clasps and the back digs in a bit even when it's loose. (Such is the way with bands that have too much elasticity in the band and only a rigid seem on top and bottom. That's why rigid bands are better and more supportive. If this bra was cheap I would give it 3.5+ but it's almost $100.

It's comfortable, I find the band around the chest a little smaller than I expected. I am a solid 34 around with every other bra I have ordered and found that this one fits a little tight. I am sure with some wear it will stretch and become comfortable. It does not make my breasts look nice, it's more of a wear under a hoodie kind of bra.

Der Versand hat schnell und problemlos geklappt. Nach dem Auspacken stellte ich jedoch fest, dass das Material auf den Bildern anders wirkt: für mich schien der BH glatte Mikrofaser zu sein, ist jedoch matt und samtig. Da ich aber dringend einen Neuen benötigte, behielt ich ihn da die Größe perfekt passt.Nach dem ersten Tragen kam der zweite Minuspunkt: seitlich neben den Körbchen befinden sich sehr harte Nähte. Diese drücken nach einem Tag tragen sehr (Unterbrustweite passt auch perfekt, daran liegt es nicht.Nach einigen Tagen leiert leider das eine stützende Band aus und ist im Dekoleté über dem BH sichtbar. Und wäre das nicht genug, hat sich nach dem Tragen am Bügel unter der Brust der samtige Stoff aufgelöst. An dieser Stelle ist durch Bewegung die Reibung auf Stoff und Bügel höher- leider hielt das Material nicht stand. Tragbar ist er zwar noch aber weder schön noch komfortabel. Schade, auf für den guten Preis!

Sitzt perfekt ohne zu quetschen, stützt gut, fühlt sich toll an. Allerdings muss man aufpassen, dass der Bügel korrekt sitzt und nirgends drückt um einem Milchstau vorzubeugen, die richtige Größe ist daher sehr wichtig. Dafür bekommt man dann aber einen tollen Halt auch bei einem größeren Busen.Der Clip zum Stillen ist einfach zu bedienen, schön ist auch, dass die Träger geriffelt sind, so dass sich diese nicht von alleine verstellen können.

Ich hatte mir zuvor den selben BH in anderer Farbe im Fachgeschäft gekauft. Er passt perfekt und bietet optimalen Halt - gerade auch bei größeren Größen. Daher wollte ich in ein zweites Mal haben. Gerade um Dehnungsstreifen oder ausgeleiertes Gewebe vorzubeugen finde ich einen gut sitzenden BH auch und gerade in der Stillzeit sehr wichtig.

Great quality and really nice bra, but runs small. Order at least 2 cupsizes larger.

Der BH ist super bequem. Sitzt super. Man merkt garnicht das man ihn anhat. Top Qualität. Ich bin überrascht.

I love this bra! I bought this one as well as another Cake nursing bra and they are the best ones I have tried. It is very supportive. I find the band fit slightly small, but not too bad. Added a bra extender and only had to go one hook bigger.
