Spirit of Nature Nursing Bra - no drop cups

Hi everyone,

I'm finding the dropcup nursing bras really fiddly and rubbish (although just have mothercare ones, have read loads on here about how great Elle McP's are).

I was just wondering if anyone used one of the Spirit of Nature bras (just pull-aside) and what they thought? And whether that is the only brand of pull-aside bra, or are there others?

Many thanks

Look good but not much use if you are an F cup or above!

i didnt realise they did these when i was breastfeeding, i used to find it easier to pull aside my bra, much more discreet when out and about. so i bought bikini tops and used those

I just think that if you pull an elastic band it wants to spring back into place.. it fights back with you..

If you pull the bra to one side - surely it is going to want to spring back into place. This will create pressure on the milk ducts during feeding and possibly lead to blockages or even mastitis.

Am i wrong?? Or am i just overly careful??

It doesn't look very supportive.

I have no experience of them though.

ibblewob how well endowed are you? if you need proper structure then a royce bra will be great. elle macp doesn't go above a medium. that spirit one looks like a floppy old vest.

I had one and it was fine - am very small of nork though so not sure how it would be for support!

I dyed mine black to get away from the slight tubular bandage overtones of the natural cream colour.
