Last year we tested ten of the UK's best maternity and nursing bras, chosen from weeks of research including reading the Mumsnet boards. After putting each bra to the test, our three winners were crowned and reviewed on the Reviews Hub; you can read them here.

This year, we're retesting our winners against a whole new range of options -- and we'd like to hear from you. If you've bought and loved a maternity bra in the last two years, we want to hear about it! Tell us which bra you loved and why you loved it. Your comments will help us to establish which bras to test to find the ultimate nursing bra.

Hotmilk Eclipse Full Cup Non Wired Nursing Bra is my current favourite. I’ve bought a few lately and it’s difficult to find a bra in a H as I’ve found out lately, let alone a comfortable one that looks good!

Bibijayne · 03/05/2018 16:57

Do you have any in larger cup sizes?

Thistles24 · 03/05/2018 19:34

I came on to say the Hotmilk eclipse too- SO comfortable and yet supportive- I'm going to struggle going back to an underwired one! Plus mine was only £12 on Amazon.

@Thistles24 blimey! Mine was 35 from figleaves (and I think that’s with a discount?) But I couldn’t find that size anywhere else

Panache Sophie nursing bra. Looks attractive, extremely soft and comfortable plus, most importantly for me, has back sizes 30 and 32 with large cups (size F+) which most companies don't offer.

From my experience, all the F+ cups with most brands started at back 34 which was far too big, even at 40 weeks (I was 28 pre-pregnancy and went upto 32 at full term before settling back down at 30 for most of my time breastfeeding)

Debenhams own. Tshirt style, smooth cup. Easy to unhook & rehook. Cleans nicely. Keeps its shape. Comfortable to wear. I think it came in a two pack.

I'm normally a 38GG ... so definitely fine for the larger of nork Grin

I have this one: amzn.to/2Kz4JoJ

It's great, haven't had an issue with it at all. Love the support and padding and how easy it is to adjust and unclip.

As usual no use to those of us who are larger.

Baabit · 04/05/2018 05:41

I've got on well with the Hotmilk ones too but this time I'm really impressed with Molke. So comfortable and actually give a great shape (think I'm about 32 GG).

I wore the Freya pure nursing bra. It goes up to a HH cup and is under wired. It also starts at 30" back.

It's quite a generous cut, so I wore a cup size smaller but it was the only underwired nursing bra I found that was anything remotely near to comfortable and still gave some definition for a larger cup size.

I'm afraid I really didn't get on with non underwired nursing bras.

It's a moulded cup, which stuck me as a bit weird considering it's a nursing style, but it was okay actually.

Freya underwired

Itscurtainsforyou · 04/05/2018 10:41

Royce - very supportive for big boobs and not ugly!

Minimonkeysmum · 04/05/2018 11:07

Cake lingerie rock candy nursing bra - amazingly comfortable and supportive.

LibertyBlue · 04/05/2018 13:50

Best for large bust and it’s underwired- the Anita nursing bra

Bravissimo finally has started selling underwired nursing bras.

The NMC advice not to wear a wired bra is all wrong imo.

Bibijayne · 04/05/2018 14:37

@LibertyBlue I went in to try and get this and was told they only go up an H cup. Trying to find anything in a KK/L :(

Gannetseatfish · 04/05/2018 22:19

baabit I’m with you hotmilk first time round (still love them) but just got a Molke, I’m a 30j and it’s great, so comfy and made in Scotland. Don’t think I’ll ever go back to underwires.

Notquitewhatimeant · 05/05/2018 15:36

Bravado seamless. So comfortable!

Sashkin · 06/05/2018 10:22

Yes the Anita bra! I got terrible blocked ducts and even mastitis from wearing unsupportive unwired bras (I was a 32G post-baby). No problems at all since I switched to the Anita. And I actually feel supportive.

verite · 06/05/2018 23:12

Another vote for the Anita here as well.

Miriam Stoppard were fab
