Really good bra with two big flaws.
Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2017
This is the best nursing bra I have found for the large breast / smaller band size combo. I have a 34 I in this bra, but could have gone up one more cup size. So I think it runs just a little small in cups. It had some boning on the sides, which would bend and dig into my ribs. That was terribly uncomfortable, but because I really do like this bra, I carefully cut them out rather than returning it. Also the part of the bra that stays attached when the cup is the pulled down is, well, not on par with the rest of the bra. It shows through my shirt unless I tuck it back down. Which I do all day long! I attached a couple pictures. I think if that were more of a spandex-like material, it would be much improved. For those two reasons, I'm giving this bra 3 stars.
Underwire Issues
Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2016
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.
My favorite nursing bra by far.

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.
best nursing bra ever.

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.
... 3 stars is because this bra gives me the best fit and shape for my size
Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2017
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.
Wire moves & no padding on wire.
Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2019
The material is amazing, but there is no padding were the wire hits your body it hurts and is not flexable. The underwire is already moving back and forth and poking. Its a nursing bra... It's getting used multiple times everyday in different positions, and the wire needs padding!!! Also scratchy in the back
Pretty Good

Overall, I really like the bra. I like the material and construction... Except for one thing: rather than the nursing hook just attaching the cup to strap, it attaches it to the strap + two strips of cotton on either side of the strap. The extra totally unhelpful cotton strip pops out of the top of the cup when the bra is worn normally. SUPER annoying and looks weird under clothes.
Very good bra
Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2018
I recently had a baby and was wearing a 38J for the first couple months. As I've lost weight I'm down to a 30I. So I needed a really heavy duty bra. This bra is very comfortable, very supportive and good quality. My only complaint is that the strip of "modesty fabric" attached to the cup ends up loose and wrinkly and it's extremely annoying to keep tucking down into the bra so it doesn't show. Honestly, the only purpose it serves is to annoy.

Great quality, super soft

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 GröÃe 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!
