Carriwell Seamless Drop Cup Nursing Bra review


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.

    1. good 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

  24. Gosh 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.
