I don't really like the nursing bras I have and usually just wear a nursing tank or sleep bra (so attractive). Is the bravado worth the extra money?
-
I didn't like it. My favorite setup was the Elomi Smoothing Cup Nursing Bra (recommended by a bee but I forget whom), with a regular tank top over it that I would pull down (because I liked tummy coverage).
-
I like the bravado nursing tanks because they have great support. They were pricey but I am wearing the same ones for baby 2.
-
I didn't like Bravado - they had too much of a maternity fit for post baby in my opinion. GlamourMom runs a bit slimmer, and for the price, the H&M nursing camis that come in 2-packs aren't too bad.
-
They held up really well for a year + of daily use & abuse. For me they fit the best, were comfortable & supportive. And I could get them at the Target next to my house.

I didn't like them- I tried two. One made my boobs look....super weird and potato sack-ish (and I"m very small chested). The other one needed molded cups to avoid this lovely situation, but folding down molded cups is obnoxious.
I had the best luck with a couple hot milk bras (one I was fitted for at a local store, the other I got from zulilly). One was with wires for when I had to dress up, the other was without for everyday.
Honestly, I mostly just wear shelf bras or my old regular bras- but again, Im a card carrying member of the I.B.T.C. so its not really a big deal....

I didn't like it. I used it while nursing my first baby but never felt like it fit well or was very flattering. This time I bought a couple of nursing bras from Pea in a Pod which were actually cheaper than Bravado plus they do buy 3 get 1 free all the time, and I LOVE them.

I'll stick up for Bravado! I got the Body Silk seamless and actually really like it bc it is very smooth/no itchy seams and the fit is right for my body. I bought a second one this weekend bc I honestly just don't feel like continuing to try on and shop for other alternatives even if i can save a few bucks.
I've always found that bra brands fit and work for women completely differently bc we're all so uniquely shaped so same applies for nursing bras too. You just have to look around until you find something that fits your body, whether it's the "popular" brand or not.

I also have the Bravado Body Silk seamless bra and I really like it. It's not super duper flattering, but I have yet to find a nursing bra that is, TBH. But it's so comfortable, never itches or irritates even with dry winter skin, and it's really easy to unsnap and pull down for nursing.
I tried on a whole bunch (thanks, free shipping and returns at Amazon) and this was my favorite when combining comfort and looks. Elle Macpherson has some more flattering ones, but I just knew I'd stick with the comfortable one anyway.
For nursing tanks, again, Bravado beats any others I tried on. I have the basic v-neck one and it actually looks like I'm wearing a bra, where my Target ones are pretty darn unflattering.
-
I prefer Glamourmom tanks, but I love my Bravado bras. They fit better than any other I tried, and with jumbo nursing boobs, comfort was my priority. I've been wearing them for 15 months now and they're still in great shape!
-
Oops I missed that this was about the bras not the tanks! Sorry!
Hands down my favorite nursing bras for wearing outside the house are Hotmilk. They have the most support I've found w/o a wire and look more like a bra I'd normally choose to wear than most nursing bras. They come on zulily about every 3 months and then you can get them for about $20-$25 each.

I have 2 of the Bravado Body Silk bras and really like them - they fit well and are super comfy. They are not really attractive though, so I have an Anita underwire for when I need to look a bit more presentable.
I bought 1 Bravado sleep bra and hated it. The Target (Gillian and something?) is so much better and I wear sports bras a lot to sleep in or around the house.
-
@Zbug: yes. They hold up so well! I have two silk and three bliss; the bliss is more flattering. The target bras I have are junk.
-
Looks like I should check out hot milk! I hadn't heard of that one.
