Kindred Bravely Bra Modern/fitted

So let me start by saying I’m expecting my second child, and nursed my first for 15 months. This ain’t my first rodeo 😂 but this is definitely the most comfortable and best fitting nursing bra I have EVER purchased and I’ve gone through SOOO many. Maidenform, playtex, hofish,even regular busty bralettes from Lively before they made it in a nursing version but none of them fit as great as this. Like a lot of moms my boobs get huge while my band stays the same. Pre Pregnancy I’m between sizes of 34 & 36 D, the trouble is I have wide shoulders and the girls sit a little more side set so a 36D has more room for the girls but a 34D is always better on my band cause it isn’t to loose. With my daughter I ended up getting into a 34DD-34DDD so I knew this time I really wanted to find something that would be a nice tightness in the band but also have plenty of room for my boobies. Trouble is a lot of nursing bras DONT take this into account. for example I like the Auden seamless nursing bra from target but it is now my second favorite to this because I got a large and it had plenty of hook and eye closures so I could tighten it up in the band but have the wiggle room in my chest, however the band of course stretches out and the extra length of the closures moves around over my spine. The measuring chart here had me thinking I could maybe go with just a medium but I was worried I wouldn’t have the needed cup room as I grow once baby is here and I’m actively nursing, so I went on their main site and had read how busty is a good option for those with smaller bands/bigger cups, or even those with bigger shoulders who might need longer straps. DING DING DING THATS ME! So I got the medium busty here in nude and figured I’d at least try it out with my registry discount. It’s SOOOO comfy! Now I understand why it’s more expensive than my Auden, there’s more quality and time put into the fabric and it’s very well made. I currently have the straps fully extended to be comfortable on my shoulders which is completely fine because they stretch over time and I will need room for my elvie pump. I have the band on the loosest hook and it still rests comfortably on my rib cage without being to tight, and I love knowing as it stretches that I have plenty of hook and eye closures to tighten it up! I hate underwires because they dig into my bigger rib cage and just aren’t ideal for nursing but feel so well supported in this even with some bigger breasts. It’s seamless but the fabric is thicker while still being stretchy to accommodate the changes we go through during pregnancy and breastfeeding. I plan on buying at least one more, if not one in every color because these really are worth the extra money!

I am a r/abrathatfits bravangelist. Having bras that fit matters deeply to me. But in pregnancy I've been having a problem where even my best fitting bras are uncomfortable when I sit due to crushing the band between boobs and bump. I researched the heck out of bras, trying to find one that would be supportive enough to wear with a T shirt despite my rapidly growing, currently UK 34GG sized breasts (at 6mo pregnant), while also being comfortable enough for a big ol pregnant lady to wear without complaint. This was a hard task. In the end I figured I had to sacrifice something so I sacrificed support rather than comfort. I bought this bra in medium busty. It's technically not supposed to go up to this cup size in UK sizing but I wasn't gonna sacrifice the band size I needed. I assumed even with that that I was resigning myself to poor support given that it's a stretchy bra with a stretchy band, and that I was maybe gonna be squeezing my boobs into this thing. Thank the Lord - it's better than I thought. No, the support is not exactly on par with my structured underwire bras but I can wear T shirts and I don't look bad! I can wear this bra to work! The cups are just molded enough that despite being a very stretchy band the overall effect looks pretty much like a bra that fits. It's not the tight-fitted band that would support the heaviest of breasts, but my 34GGs are being lifted by this thing. I'm shocked that I don't have squished boob sports bra syndrome. I'm getting lift and support and above all COMFORT. Definitely grateful I went for it. For a 34GG, the medium busty was the right size. There is room to grow when my breasts get bigger when my milk comes in. I have the sense it will accommodate a wide size range. I think if you were smaller in the band you might want to go for a small busty even with larger breasts - this band is aaalmost too stretchy to support me.

According to their chart I would be on the small end of the large/very busy (35” band and 44” bust). I went with the medium busty and couldn’t be happier. I finally feel supported in a nursing bra! I am one snap on the band extender provided but I’m sure over time once the bra stretches out I will no longer need it. The bra is way more money than I typically would spend but so far it’s totally worth it. It feels a lot more breathable of a material compared the momcozy.

I am one week pp and my breasts got HUGE during pregnancy so I’ve been wearing maternity/nursing bras for about 6 months. I bought other bras from momcozy, skims, etc. and they just didn’t fit well at all, the elastic wore out quickly, and I didn’t find them to be supportive at all for my large cup size/small band size. I wish I would have just bought this bra from the start!! I got the medium- busty and it’s SO supportive but soft and stretchy, SO well made and high quality. Can’t recommend this bra enough!!

I'm super impressed. Pre-pregnancy I was a 36J UK (36M American), dress size around 16-18 or 1X/XXL. I am now 8 months pregnant and have lost fat as I gained baby weight (net gain around 7lbs), so hard to tell what size I am but I've been wearing L/XL maternity clothing. I've been able to wear my pre-preg bras with an extender once my ribcage expanded-- I'm around a 38J now. I actually contacted Kindred Bravely about sizing and they don't make a bra advertised to fit my size but suggested this one MIGHT work in the XL Busty so I gave it a shot. And it works! Some other reviewers complained about the band running small but I found it to be perfect for my underbust. Most XL or larger stretchy bras that fit my breasts are way too big in the band but this one is perfect. And the cups actually accommodate my breasts with no spilling! The padded inserts are large and don't create a weird shape (a first for me) so I may actually leave them in for once. It's not super supportive, but I didn't expect it to be since it's a stretchy wireless bra. The band actually fitting is enough to make it more supportive than any other stretchy lounge bras I own. I'd like it if the straps were a little wider, but that's my personal preference and I understand it wasn't made for someone of my size. It will be a great bra to wear around the house, and I think with a tighter/supportive tank top it will be enough for running errands and going for walks. The clips seems easy enough to manage one handed. We'll see what happens when my milk comes in (fingers crossed these melons don't get much bigger), but for now this bra fits better than I ever expected and I am very impressed.
