The Original Nursing Bra by Bravado

£25.00

The Original Bravado bra is comfortable to sleep in, which most breastfeeding mothers find they have to do in the first few months of breastfeeding. Because the Original Bravado bra fits like a sports bra there are no irritating hooks at the back to dig in to you whilst you sleep. It's also the only bra I've found that you can do up with one hand (you'll need the other one to hold your baby!) and it comes in wonderful designs, so in the summer you can wear them with an open shirt over without feeling self conscious. It's also one of the few maternity/nursing bra that has been designed by breastfeeding mothers!

Info

The important thing to remember when ascertaining the size of Bravado Bra to buy is that the sizing is literal, unlike other bras you DO NOT add on inches to determine your rib size.

 

A super comfortable nursing bra made from cotton/spandex blend fabric.

Made from a super-soft cotton/spandex blend fabric, these bras support your changing shape all day long. Fitting from sizes 32B to 46G.

• 92% cotton / 8% spandex blend fabric
• Sports bra styled back that provides excellent upper-middle back support and holds straps in place
• Snaps that lie flat under close fitting clothing and can be opened and closed with one hand
• Cups that drop fully away from breast, giving the baby complete access
• Adjustable shoulder straps
• Wide under elastic that provides even weight distribution and under-breast support and doesn't ride up or slip

 

I was first introduced to the Original Bravado bra when I was pregnant. My Active Birth teacher Dominique Ker was breastfeeding her third child and said that the Bravado bra was the best bra she had used. At the time there were no shops selling the Original Bravado bra and few places to get them mail order, so I didn't actually get one until my daughter was a few months old, by which time I'd tried the other bras available from high street shops. Wearing the Original Bravado bra was bliss after irritating lace bras and ones which had zips that caught my skin when I wanted to do them up. 

 

The Bravado bra comes in 3 styles; the style you buy is determined by your cup size. To determine which size you should buy measure yourself by taking a measurement underneath your bust across your ribs. Next measure across your bust at your nipples. Measure with your clothes on, but nothing too bulky. The cup size you require is found by taking away the smaller measurement from the larger one. Each inch you deduct is equal to 1 cup size. For example if you measure 36 inches under your bust and 40 inches across your bust your cup size is D (40-36=4, D is the 4th letter of the alphabet). Your bra size is M+ (34D).

Sheer relief!
I got fitted for 2 of these at Born a week after having my son.  Utter relief as I had stupidly bought some inferior nursing bras that fitted badly. These really are soo comfortable and they wash really well. They  more don't look like granny bras and having just recently stopped breastfeeding, they are still in good enough condition to keep for when baba number 2 happens! I also think that because of the support I have had with these, I have been less prone to stretch marks.  Also soft and comfortable enough to wear to bed.

Best bra I've found for larger sizes
Yes, the larger sizes (I'm an F cup) look a little more like a 'crop top' style training bra that I used when I was a young girl, but they still out-perform all of the other brands I have tried.
So, a little  more cumbersome and practical (rather than stylish and sexy) but they do the supporting best job and I can't fault them on comfort.
Thanks.

Comfiest Maternity Bras
Love the Bravado range - as a F cup I have struggled to find a decent fit coupled with support and Bravado have won hands down. Technically I bought a cup size down on this particular one as I wanted the cross heart  more design rather than crop top style, but it still supports and I think, gives a better shape. Pattern is a little garish, but I was fed up with boring black and white! Overall I definitely recommend! Thanks.

Great sleep bra
Really comfy for use at home but not supportive enough for my 38E boobs in public - too much jiggle. Bought a second one as loved so much.
