Bravado nursing bras for large cup size?

7 replies

coffeenut · 03/03/2010 13:59

I am a 36G cup, want something that can maybe stretch a half cup size for when milk comes in and if possible something which is comfortable enough to sleep in.

I have been looking at two Bravado bras, the body silk seamless one and also the Bravado Original Basic Bra Double Plus.

Just wondering if anyone with a large cup size has tried these bras and whether they are any good - or any other recs? Thanks

Can you get to a Bravissimo?

I'm a 32F (bit bigger when pg/bfing) and I thought the Bravado ++ was fantastic. (I had the S++, I guess you might go for the M++?)
Sports bra style, you could sleep in it no problem. Really good for the early days when size fluctuates a bit. And I think they now have flat clips rather than poppers to undo, which seems like an improvement. I had that and a couple of Royce/NCT ones, it was definitely my favourite.

I had one. I'm not sure exactly which one though, sorry. It was fantastic, really comfy and expanded well when my milk came in. One of my best pregnancy buys. I was a 36FF during pregnancy and they went HUGE when my milk came in.

I have large breast size and have Royce Jasmine bras. Seem fine to me.

I have these and they're absolutely brilliant. Current bra size (2 week old baby) 30G.

I had both of those (was 36FF when BF)
the original ones give you severe monoboob but I still wore them for over a year!
the silk one was better imo but I had to take out the inserts.
Both vv comfy much more so then the anita underwired ones which I spent a fortune one and hardly ever wore.
oh yes the tank is also v good for not flashing saggy belly when feeding!

Thanks for your replies everyone! Sounds like they will be a good buy. Can't get to anywhere to try them on though unfortunately, which I why I thought I'd ask before I ordered online.

Cece, I have a Royce Jasmine which I like very much but not sure it would be comfortable enough to sleep in. Do you sleep in this?
