Dotty Nursing Bra Customer Reviews

This is the only bra I found that truly fits--Freya has allowed me to nurse for 19 months and counting without issue! TheUndies.com, April, 2011, Average Height (5'4"-5'8") Size: 32FF

It didn't fit properly. I used the online tutorial to measure my new bra size and it was way off. However, even with the appropriate size (36G instead of 38E) I've decided I prefer underwire and this bra has none.

Freya Response: You might try the Elomi nursing bra style Elomi 3912. It has a wire and gives great support and fits super well. Very popular style for nursing bra. Crystal, Dallas, TX, Age: 30's March, 2011, Average Height (5'4"-5'8") Size: 38DD

The worst bra i ever bought. do not provide good lift and the fabric quality is very cheap, very uncomfortable bra way too expensive.

Freya Response: We designed this bra using non-stretch fabrication to prevent all bounce, as it can be so painful when breasts are ultra-tender. It could be you purchased the wrong size. Unfortunately, even the best bra in the world can be horribly uncomfortable, and won’t be able to do the job (lift and support the breasts) if it’s an incorrect size.

I like this bra more than any of the other bras that I have tried so far. It actually supports my breasts which is more than I can say for all the other bras that I have tried so far. My only complaint is that they don't last very long, and they lose their support quickly. My breasts have a great shape under them when I first buy them, but within 2-3 months they start to sag and the elastic also gives out. For the price, I would expect it to be more durable. Kathy, Oregon, Age: 30's December, 2010, Average Height (5'4"-5'8") Size: 30FF

The cups provide good lift without bothersome underwire. Very pretty bra. Madilyn, Reno, NV, Age: 30's November, 2010, Petite (5'3" and under) Size: 34G

This is a great nursing bra. Not only is it the prettiest one I have found in my size, but the fit is great, too. Originally a 34DD before pregnancy, I have lots of trouble finding nursing bras in general. Never can find a pretty one. I had to put a strap extender in the back because my rib cage has expanded due to third trimester, and might have been more comfortable with a 36 overall, but I was so excited about having a pretty bra that I didn't want to send it back and wait again. I am probably going to order another one I love it so much! Tricia, Frisco, TX, Age: 30's September, 2010, Average Height (5'4"-5'8") Size: 34G (Implants)

This bra supports better than any nursing bra I've tried so far. None of the materials in this bra are too stretchy, so the support is pretty firm and there is no bouncing. The straps are very adjustable. I got used to the bra being a little more pointy and I think it got less so over time. I really like this bra! My one complaint though is that the material gave me body odor and is not a good summer nursing bra. I didn't have it long enough in the winter to know if it would be ok in cooler weather. I would recommend ordering a band size down. Kelsey, Billings, MT, Age: 20's August, 2010, Petite (5'3" and under) Size: 32GG

Very pretty, comfortable bra. Love the way it shapes my girls. I have two of these and wish I had more. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because it's so pricey. Other than that, it's a great bra. I'm very satisfied and I plan to wear them well after I'm done nursing. DD, San Francisco, Age: 30's August, 2010, Average Height (5'4"-5'8") Size: 40FF

It absolutely boggles my mind as to why the reviewers refer to this bra as a "high-quality product". I am generally a fan of Freya lingerie line but this nursing bra, in my opinion, requires a lot of improvement. The bra itself creates a very cheap impression with blatant polyester all over. And, naturally, with it mostly consisting of polyester it feels suffocating against one's skin. Also, considering my cup size, it did create this "torpedo breasts" impression. They say that, somehow, the cups are molded- well, they aren't. Looks, once again, like a cheap and flimsy, not very durable and not very predictably behaving material.

So, I just ended up ordering a cheaper nursing bra, which contained cotton, turned out to be a better fit, better support and, actually, looked far more sensually than this one.

I really don't think the quality and the less-than-intricate design of this given bra are worth the money.

Freya Response: It’s difficult to comment without seeing the bra on you. Very often we get a ‘torpedo’-look when the cups are too small and they force the breast tissue (in a too small space) forward. We chose a simplex fabric for the cups because it provides comfortable, yet firm support. (Bouncing is so painful when you’re nursing!) Nina, Canada, Age: 20's July, 2010, Tall (5'9" and over) Size: 32GG

This bra fits well, is pretty and very functional as a nursing bra. It can be difficult to find all three in larger sizes. Mariah, Iowa, Age: 30's June, 2010, Petite (5'3" and under) Size: 38G

I love the fact that this bra is not made out of cotton. So many nursing bra manufacturers make nursing bras out of cotton which gives NO support and retains moisture - both bad for a nursing mom. I also love that this bra comes in my size - big bonus. The cups are smooth and not irritating. The support is pretty good. My biggest complaint is the sides of the cup go up so high under my arms that it chafes. By the end of the day I have to take the bra off because the undersides of my arms are irritated. I understand that with such a large cup size this can happen, but it prevents me from giving it 5 stars. Paula, NY, USA, Age: 30's June, 2010, Average Height (5'4"-5'8") Size: 32H

I found this bra to be built well, as all I find all Freya bras and swimsuits to be, but the fit just wasn't right for me. I can definitely see it work for someone with average size breasts but not for someone who is very endowed. I thought it was very cute when it arrived, but when I tried it on I found it gave me 1950's style torpedo breasts and it just didn't have the support that a girl with GG cups needs (I find an under wire works best for me). Also, while I really like Freya products (especially swim suits!), I've found that the cups run about 2 cup sizes smaller than the provided chart actually says. I would suggest to anyone who has a hard time finding a cup large enough and is interested in a Freya product, to order at least one or two cup sizes larger than they think they'll need. It will save you a lot of time and the hassle of having to exchange or return the product. Overall, it seemed like a really nice, quality product, but I wouldn't recommend it for someone with really large breasts.

Freya Response: So sorry this bra didn’t work for you, I do understand preferring an under-wire if the breasts are very heavy. Most of our “Freya-Girl” nursing Mums like a soft cup, so Freya doesn’t make an under-wire nursing bra. As far as our swimsuits are concerned, our fit is very “specific” –particularly in an under-wire top –as the wires have to be in exactly the right place for comfort and ultimate support. If you are used to wearing American brand products which are more perhaps “forgiving” and tend to be cut more generously, you might find yourself wearing a larger cup size in a British brand. We always tell women not to be afraid of going up in the cup, as generally they’ll be wearing their cups too small to begin with.
