Despite its problems, still a good bra.

First of all, Cake really needs to make 30 bands. I am a 30GG and I had to size up to a 32G. I am already wearing it on the last of 6 sets of hooks after one time of wearing it. I also own the Cake Sorbet nursing bra, and I will say that this bra runs slightly bigger in the band than that one. The straps, while comfortable, are not fully adjustable, and since I am short, I am unable to shorten them as much as I would like. The racerback clip shortens them a bit mire but I don't want to have to wear racerbacks always. Also, the "flexiwire" design does offer enough support to separate the breasts, but is not strong enough to get the center gore to tack, at least on larger sizes.The biggest drawback to this bra, though, is how shallow the cups are. I need deeper cups. I assume the shallowness is meant to help compress the breasts for support while exercising, but even so, these are too shallow. The weight of my breasts then pushes the wires further down on my ribcage and makes empty space at the bottom of the cup. After wearing this bra all day, the spot on my ribcage that the wires were pressing on became very sore, and was also sore the next day. If I were to size up in the cup enough so that this didn't happen, the cups would them be too large to offer any support.Despite all this, the bra is a lot more comfortable than I expected. I would not consider it "high impact" in my size, but moderate impact, sure. It is very well constructed. I love the modesty panel, though it does make it a bit challenging to put on sometimes. And I think the bra itself it pretty cute. It is no doubt the best option we nursing moms have in this category. I like it enough that I'd buy another one, but only if it went on sale.
OH THE SUPPORT!!!

Can we talk about how much I love this bra!Ahhhhhh the support !!! Now I find it very difficult to have weather so ething will work for you when not given enough info.I was a 34DD before I had lo now I'm bf and I was wearing a 36D I have bought two of these the first time I bought smaller because I read reveiws I got a 36C it fit and felt amazing untill I wore it to long I felt it would be even more comfortable of it were a little bigger so I bought a second in a 36D also comfy. The fabric is super soft but if your wearing milk pads well all your gonna feel is that lol it holds everything (breast pad included) in place HOWEVER!!! Do not buy this for a sports bra unless your a low impact kinda girl I could not do my normal workouts or running in this bra but it is awesome for everyday wear I wouldnt recommend for sleep though the under wire gets uncomfortable, although I have slept in it
Great bra for breastfeeding, larger chested moms

I love this sports bra, especially for women with larger chests. It lasted me a year with my first and now Iâm wearing it again with my second. I landed on a 34G after a few attempts. Benefits:- Separates your breasts so you donât sweat between them- Somehow gives you tons of support without crushing your breasts, which was what was happening with my other bras and I was quickly getting sore and developing painful lumps that Iâd have to massage out while feeding my daughter - ouch!- Snug around the ribcage so you donât get an under-boob pit- Has the razor back clasp so that when/if your cup size starts to dwindle (which for me was around month 6-9 of breastfeeding), you can still use the bra
Expensive, only worth it if you work out a lot.

Like: fits well (I'm a 38D currently), the only nursing bra that provides enough support to go running in and to do cardio kickboxing in (although to have enough bounce support I MUST use the crossback clip to tighten it up a bit more from over the shoulders, note it does have the underwire), I like the clip down cups instead of the velcro straps, is very comfortable.Dislike: can tell when your cold :/ infinitely better if you wear nursing pads inside but I don't like doing that while running, SO expensive (I can't believe I had to spend $80 on a nursing bra with good cardio support).I bought this for a 3 week road trip where we went camping and hiking. I wanted something I could be comfy in all day, and something easy and discrete for feeding my 5 month old. A regular nursing bra did not cut it for the 6 mile hikes we were doing. For someone who works out a lot, I think you should have one of these but in reality most of the time I feed my baby or pump right before I leave for my run, and wear a regular high impact sports bra, and shower/change when I get back. So a lot of the time, I just wear a normal sports bra. If you want a nursing sports bra for everyday wear (not doing any real cardio), there are cheaper bras out there that would work just fine. The other sports bra I tried was the wacoal nursing sports bra which was very comfy still for the hiking and yoga but did not have enough support for my runs and cardio classes. I returned the juno nursing sports bra bc I didn't like the velcro straps (I couldn't unstrap and restrap with only one hand. When you have a squirmy baby and are always around random people, I preferred a bra that was more user friendly and swift at getting redone). So if you are buying a nursing sports bra and work out a ton, get one of these and dont buy a cheaper nursing sports bra. If you don't work out a ton and are just looking for something comfy, this is not worth the expense. For me it was worth it. In fact I bought one of these and one wacoal and if I could do it again, I'd spend a little bit more money and just buy 2 of these. But cardio is a huge part of my life.
Great bra

Comfortable and supportive nursing bra. This bra just about fits;â(could probably go up a cup size, but that is not fault of the bra, just me not knowing my size). I wear this almost daily so I ordered a second one in black (bought the gray first). The only drawback is that the straps could be a bit longer to offer more flexibility. The bra did stretch out a bit as I use the freemie cups that go into your bra to pump, but I assume that wouldnât happen if you are not using those. Very comfortable and true to size. Would highly recommend.

This is the only truly breastfeeding sports bra I have found anywhere. I use it several times a week. The colours are a bit dull and muted. I love the option to make it a racerback with a little in-built clip on the straps as most of my sports vests are racerback. I did find it a little bit soft in the cup so I do wear another supportive top. The design works but is not very attractive, I find the white cross panel shows in most of my sports necklines but as it is designed to look like a white vest this doesn't matter. It is a bit fiddly when you open up the breastfeeding clip as you have to make sure the breast is sitting in the middle of the cut-out white section and then the grey cup folds down.Either way I have not seen any other breastfeeding sports bra on the market and am very happy with this one.

Me and my clients @christinabohanefitness have loved this product. It gives good support also for running. 3 hooks fastening for extra support from EE size. Racer back conversion clip hides bra straps nicely. Last but not least the drop down cups make it easy to feed your baby, literally straight after training.

Great idea but fit was bad for me. Felt a little stiff and uncomfortable.

I thought this item was expensive but because it fit so well I kept it. However after 4 wears, but outside of the returns period, it has disintegrated and split under one of the cups. I washed it according to instructions so am extremely disappointed. Waste of money!!

When i first put the bra on if felt tight, but with it being a sports bra i wasnt too concerned. However, i have since tried to do exercise in it and the material that uns under the armpit is so high it is ristrictive and painful. Really disappointed i wont be able to use it.
