Not for truly large breasted women.
Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2018
I was a 40F before becoming pregnant, wore a 42H for most of my pregnancy, and now am in a 40J or 40K while nursing (currently 2 weeks postpartum). I bought this bra in XL and had hoped that this would work for light support while at home. Itâs a joke when I put it on, itâs so small. It was tight when I tried it on while pregnant (about 35 weeks), but I stupidly thought it might work. Now that Iâm breastfeeding, Iâm halfway falling out of it on all sides. I donât think this would have even fit me before being pregnant. If youâre larger than DDD before nursing, donât expect this to work for you.Apparently, manufacturers donât think large breasted women need nursing bras, because theyâre basically impossible to find.
Full coverage!

This is a great bra for us busty ladies! I haven't officially been sized but prior to pregnancy and breastfeeding I was a 36 DDD. I'm guess now I'm a 38 E. This is the first bra in a long time that actually offers the coverage it advertises. It's not as supportive as a sports bra but definitely provides much more support than other bras I've purchased on Amazon. I'd say it's worth the money and will be buying a second bra soon but probably an XL. The L is only slightly too small per the sizing chart. You may want to size up.
cleavage coverage is better. This one however

I'm 34DDD pre-preg, up to 36G currently. This is my third bra I've recently purchased (regular Bravado, Kindred Braverly large-busty, and now this). Compared to the regular Bravado, cleavage coverage is better. This one however, lacks good nipple coverage/padding. I do really love that it's a racer back, just something to alter stress of big boobs on my shoulders. The band is flipping under a little bit, but not too bad. Overall, good purchase.
Fits very small

Itâs unfortunate they changed the sizing. Iâve been wearing the bravado original since my first child was born in 2010, Iâve had probably 8 of the original style in a few different sizes. Iâm nursing my 4th baby now and needed to replace my L++, I sized up because of reviews saying it fit small so I got the XL in the NEW original. Itâs really small! It is NOT full cup, I spill out the top and sides. Itâs cut a lot âtrimmerâ for lack of a better term so it gives me lines where the old one kept back fat tucked it. Some of the improvements are great but itâs extremely disappointing that the one bra I knew would always fit no longer does.
Love the racerback cut, dislike the seams and lack of any padding.

I have been searching EVERYWHERE for a racerback nursing bra that isn't sports bra style. I was excited to see one made by Bravado as I love their seamless silk nursing bras and have practically lived in those for the last 4 years.This bra is just ok, could be a lot better but overall does the job.1. I really dislike the seam. It puckers and is visible under lighter colored clothing.2. There isn't any padding so it can sometimes reveal more than desired. I wish they made a removable padding option like their other bra designs. You can also see the faint outline of nursing pads if wearing a tighter fitted shirt. (I usually hate padded bras, but when nursing at least for me I find a little bit of padding necessary to prevent nipples from showing through).3. I am roughly a C cup right now (towards the end of nursing my little one). I find this bra is ok for support, but I feel like if I were larger chested or if I was wearing this when nursing a newborn and my breasts were larger I'm not sure that it would be supportive enough.4. I really like the wide elastic band, it doesn't dig in and is very comfortable. I also like that this allows there to be no clasp on the back of the bra, makes it more comfortable all around.All in all I'm glad I purchased as I'm really tired of thick nursing bra straps showing under my tank tops. However I am definitely still searching for another racerback style that is seamless and had some better coverage and support options.
Comfortable yet thin

Comfortable bra - pretty thin fabric. If you're nursing, you'll probably see the nursing pads through the bra and a tshirt. But the material is comfortable and will be convenient to access while nursing. Probably a good sleep bra for large chested women like me, but not a great "wear outside of the home" bra.
Machine wash/dryable, comfortable and breathable.

I LOVE these nursing bras! I have them in three colors, grey, white and black. I am large chested, 32G, and the small fits pretty well. After a wash I have a little side boob but they stretch out and fit perfectly after an hour or two. These bras are very comfortable and breathable while providing moderate support. The material is fantastic. I love that I can machine wash and dry and they will come out looking brand new. (I hate that the nylon nursing bras are not washer/dryer friendly - I received them as a gift for my first 3 nursing bras, and being a new mom they ended up in the wash anyway. Now they are hideous and covered in pilling) Note - these do not come with pads and are fairly thin. If you are looking for a very supportive bra, these are probably not for you.
My favorite nursing bra!

My favorite nursing bra! I have giant boobs and while this is nowhere near as supportive as an underwire bra I wore pre-nursing, it is supportive enough that I feel that I look okay to go out in public. Super comfy! Also I recommend the black over the lighter colors because nipple creams and leaked milk leave greasy looking yellowish stains on the light fabrics. Wish I would have thought of that before ordering so many white bras!

I initially purchased Bravado's standard cup wireless bra (with back closure) from my local bra store. I'm a 32F/34F + had to purchase that bra in a size Large in order to accommodate my cup size but it was definitely riding up in the back even on the tightest clasp. When I found this bra online (not being able to try it on) I was apprehensive that it would fit better. I was unsure if I should order a small or medium, but went with a small, hopeful for a better fit in the band + that the full cup design would accommodate my breasts. I'm so happy to say that this bra (though it is not adjustable in the band) fits PERFECTLY. I am so comfortable in it + highly recommend it. I will be purchasing another.

I have a hard time finding affordable bras that fit both my band and cup size (Iâm a 34G), but the small is perfect.The only thing that could be better is a back closure instead of fighting to get it over my head :)

I was really excited to try this bra, however very disappointed. According to online measurements, my size is a Medium but fits too snug. The bra offers very little support. I'm pregnant and getting heavier, so would have preferred something that provides more support. If you tighten the straps, it still offers little support and puts too much strain on shoulders. Also, there is no padding.
