Looks like they are normally $50-55. Just FYI in case anyone needed one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bratank-recs-cake-vs-bravado#post-2161514 Wed, 29 Apr 2015 22:51:36 +0000 HLK208 2161514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Loooove Cake nursing bras!

Apparently it has an amazing selection of nursing bras/tanks and they're super helpful with fitting you. I'm planning on going there once my milk is in. I wore Change nursing bras last time but want something different this time.</p> <p>PS they have that Cake Toffee bra... so pretty!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bratank-recs-cake-vs-bravado#post-2161497 Wed, 29 Apr 2015 22:01:27 +0000 fuzzypeaches 2161497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone!!! This was super helpful. </p> <p>I ordered 2 of the "cotton candy" cake bras, and one glamour mom tank. I'm hoping that the sizing will be flexible enough for the beginning.<br /> Once things and sizing is established though, that toffee is mine :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bratank-recs-cake-vs-bravado#post-2160363 Wed, 29 Apr 2015 01:02:24 +0000 sunny 2160363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>+1 for the Cake Toffee bras.

The tanks are pricey but have great support, are nice and long and have a bit if compression. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bratank-recs-cake-vs-bravado#post-2160298 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 21:57:46 +0000 fuzzypeaches 2160298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: They aren't on amazon canada:( bah<br /> @kick641: ugh everything is adorable.

They look like regular bras but with the clip. For more comfort &amp; in the beginning months, I like the Bravado body silk seamless nursing bra. For sleep, I like the Motherhood maternity sleep bras. </p> <p>@fuzzypeaches: have you looked on Amazon for the cake bras? I know that's where I bought mine. I followed the sizing instructions on Cake's website and it was right on for the size I needed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bratank-recs-cake-vs-bravado#post-2160063 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 16:54:07 +0000 blackbird 2160063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: no I haven't!

I also bought a Bravada one. I'm busty, so.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bratank-recs-cake-vs-bravado#post-2159970 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 15:25:47 +0000 littlebittyhouse 2159970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love the bravado seamless ones for everyday wear. They will grow (and shrink) with you a bit do great for pregnancy and nursing. Easy to care for too.</p> <p>I liked the Glamourmom tanks a lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bratank-recs-cake-vs-bravado#post-2159880 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 14:22:53 +0000 fuzzypeaches 2159880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemong: oh that's nice too! I had something like that for sleep too. </p> <p>Thank you so much ladies! In ordering from Cake right now https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bratank-recs-cake-vs-bravado#post-2159754 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 13:23:38 +0000 lemong 2159754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No - I wouldn't sleep in them.

I got a 32F. It fit me wonderfully (and many brands don't even make that size). The cup is definitely not on the smaller side.....I would say it's TTS or maybe even a smidge big. But the band has 6-8 closures so it is very "flexible" in terms of band size. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bratank-recs-cake-vs-bravado#post-2159704 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 13:03:04 +0000 fuzzypeaches 2159704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemong: oh that's beautiful too! Is it comfy enough to sleep in too you think? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bratank-recs-cake-vs-bravado#post-2159682 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 12:50:02 +0000 lemong 2159682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Cake nursing bras too! I have two of these: <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/cake-mousse-wireless-contour-nursing-bra/3649099?origin=category-personalizedsort&#038;contextualcategoryid=0&#038;fashionColor=&#038;resultback=0" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/cake-mousse-wireless-contour-nursing-bra/3649099?origin=category-personalizedsort&#038;contextualcategoryid=0&#038;fashionColor=&#038;resultback=0</a></p> <p>I think they're pretty true to size. I'm usually a 34A/B, and since my boobs got bigger during pregnancy/nursing, I'm a 34C now. </p> <p>I had Bravado seamless ones for my first, and they got all gross from BM stains and the elastic started to wear down.

No thank you! </p> <p>The Cake bra I have is this one....

They are all gorgeous! </p> <p>That was my concern with the bravado tanks too - I like length and a bit of compression. And I will definitely check out hat link! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bratank-recs-cake-vs-bravado#post-2159570 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 11:44:46 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2159570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've only tried Cake bras (not their nursing tanks), and they are the highest quality nursing bras I've ever encountered.</p> <p>As for the nursing tanks, I have only tried Bravado and I found them to be WAY TOO SHORT. I like my tanks to be long and tight.</p> <p>My favorite nursing tank so far has been the UnderCover Mama tanks. They don't have a shelf bra or even clips, they just clip on to your actual nursing bra. So obviously they wouldn't work for sleep or around the house if you didn't want to wear a full bra. But they're perfect for out and about and nursing in public.<br /> <a href="http://undercovermama.com/" rel="nofollow">http://undercovermama.com/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bratank-recs-cake-vs-bravado#post-2159567 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 11:42:13 +0000 fuzzypeaches 2159567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi ladies!<br /> Last time I wore this awful awful tank tops from Thyme Maternity and I looked terrible! I've decided to make a better investment in the name of looking ok while (hopefully) breadtfeeding! </p> <p>I like the look of the cake maternity, bravado, and glamour mom but they are so expensive I'm hoping someone has used them before I buy online!</p> <p>Any faves? I'm looking for ideas for a)first few weeks/sleep and also b) out and about under t-shirts/cardis! </p>
