For
the past couple of years I have been wearing sport bras more often as
I prefer comfort over wearing fancy bras every day. During pregnancy
was the first time when I felt incredibly uncomfortable in my
favourite sport and wired bras. But as my bump grew and my rib cage
expanded I made a decision to stop wearing a bra, I had to wear it
when around people but during the day when I was on my own in the
house I was taking it off.
A
month ago I was offered (thanks to More4mums) to review Carriwell seamless drop cup nursing
bra
(£20),
it was definitely a godsend review. I have opted for black bra as it
is the most practical colour in size XL. The bra come in three
colours: black, nude and white and sizes S, M, L and XL, which means
it suits almost everyone's taste.
I
couldn't wait to try the bra so put it straight away, to my surprise
it came with extenders, which reassured me that it won't be too
tight.
For
the past month I have been testing it in washing, while wearing and I
must say I like it a lot and planning to wear it while I'm pregnant
and after giving birth for easy access for nursing.
Pros:
- very comfortable, I don't feel it on myself when wearing
- the material doesn't irritate my skin
- the material is stretchy enough therefore can fit my changing breast shape
- comes with bra extenter
- very easy to release a nursing clip with one hand
- wide under band hides my unwanted curves
- doesn't change it's shape after washing
- no bra straps “cutting in”
Cons:
None.
I
would certainly recommend it for mums-to-be and mums with babies.

A comfy bra is so important! I'll have to check this one out myself :-)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good product.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a really good nursing bra.
ReplyDeleteI have this nursing bra and it is so comfy that it is always my first choice!
ReplyDeleteDoes it have some way of securing a breast pad in place?
ReplyDeletegood question, i didnt try it with a breast pad as not breastfeeding and no baby (overdue) yet, but the ones i have come with a sticky tape so it would be easy to put in a bra, would need to investigate it further, thanks for that
DeleteI used one of these and it was the most comfortable bra I had! x
ReplyDeleteI am glad you found a comfy one! I need to only have uncomfortable bras at the moment x
ReplyDeleteOh it does look comfy...will bear it in mind if I do have another baby!
ReplyDeleteGlad to read that you've found a fab bra!
ReplyDeleteOne more things you don't have to worry about no more - you got a perfect bra :-)
ReplyDeleteSounds like it's going to be perfect for you when your baby decides it's time to meet the world!
ReplyDeleteI hated bras when I was pregnant, I just couldn't find a comfy one. Mind you, I don't have much luck finding comfy ones now either!
ReplyDeleteLooks great....you can't beat a good, comfortable nursing bra.

ReplyDeleteGosh I can't imagine not wearing a bra - I'd be so uncomfortable. I think it's all about getting the right fit - especially for feeding. You need the support.
