Bravado Designs Body Silk Seamless Nursing Bra 1401 Reviews

I have had several nursing bras, but this is the best. It is comfortable and its easy to release latch to expose nipples was the seller. Danielle from Lynnwood, WA

Over all I really like this bra. It is comfortable and feels like a sports bra but does not look like one. I am more of an underwire girl but they started hurting at about 7 months. I currently wear a 36 E (smaller side of it) and XL fits perfectly! Chris from Central IL

I would normally wear a 34D or DD, and would have been much better off going with the Medium. In general, this bra is well-designed... fits very much like a sports bra, very comfortable against the skin, but leaves something to be desired for support. SF

I love this bra. I live in my nursing bras for support. This bra is so comfortable that I do not even know I am wearing it. The only think I am dissapointed in is that I wish I would have known about this bra with my first child( I am on number 3). Hands down the best! Leah from Ellis

This bra fits like a dream. I have never worn a more comfortable bra which is a treat when breastfeeding and pumping all the time! The fabric is so soft. I needed the XL and my pre-pregnancy bra size was a 34/36 B! Dominique from Grafton, MA, USA

I really wanted this bra to work but it just did't fit! My pre-pregnancy size is a 32F...the band size was just right but the cup way too small for me.

Bravado Response: You should always measure based on your current size. Depending on what stage you are in your pregnancy may reveal a larger band width to help accommodate a larger cup. In this case if you ended up measuring a 34 you would still fall into the same size (medium). If you still feel this is too small in the cup I suggest trying our Bliss style bra 125 as it offers a more structured cup and also has a flexible support channel that mimics an underwire.

I waited to try this until I was thoroughly frustrated with every other softcup bra I tried...I was convinced I would hate it. Finally gave in and I have to say...I can't find one thing wrong with it. I measure about a 32F-G at 6 months pregnant and the medium fits perfect with a little room to grow. The removeable pads stay put and don't ever show even under knit t-shirts if arranged right. No show through, I've washed them 3-4 times (machine wash, line dry) and they still look brand new. Very much worth the money especially compared to some of the others out there. Beth from Michigan, USA

I've gone from a 36DD pre-pregnancy to a 44DDD in my 3rd trimester and finding bras that work for my top-heavy body is next to impossible. I so hoped this bra would work for me. Unfortunately, I did not feel the cup size was accurate and would have needed a G-cup from Bravado. The style is great and the fabric seemed like it would be comfortable, but my breasts were spilling out of the cups. Bravado: please make an XXL! Elizabeth from Minneapolis/MN/USA

Amazing bra. VERY comfortable, even after all day wear. Nice breast separation, and I am a 36E. Band is not too wide, so I can see wearing this all the way through pregnancy (I bought it as a maternity bra). Not the best lift, but still nice and I think very good for 36E as there is no underwire. Elizabeth from Wisconsin

Wow! This bra has exceeded all of my expectations. It is so comfortable, yet supportive (without underwire). The fit is amazing. I will be ordering more. Indie Girl from US

I outgrew all my other bras. The underwire bras were pushing into my side as my growing belly kept pushing it up. I really like having support and shape in a bra. This bra is PERFECT! I would recommend it to anyone needing a bra for maternity to nursing. This is my third baby and each pregnancy I keep finding something better than what I had before. This bra is a keeper and I will be getting more as my new baby is here. I have less than a month! Cantfamily from Imbler/Oregon/USA

The bra fits very well and is very comfortable. However, after wearing for a few days, I developed a rash around my boobs. I stopped wearing it and the rash disappeared.

Bravado Response:Were you wearing this at night? The Body Silk Seamless isn’t as breathable as the Original Nursing Bra - it is 92% cotton and designed for sleeping. Sophia

Love it comfort wise and convenience wise. Wish it was a little more supportive of the girls as once my milk came in my boobs went from a D to a DD. Jenn from Indiana, USA

I want to love this bra. However, I am pre-pregnancy a 34DD/DDD and now more of a 34/36/DDD/DDDD. In order to have good coverage, I need a Large... however, I am already on the tightest clasp in order for it to fit properly (and I am 34 weeks pregnant, so a bit bigger around the band). I still bought it, because it was comfortable and may work around the house, but I wish I could get it fitted in a bra size so I can get the coverage I need with the proper band size.

This bra is comfortable and provides good support for a wireless bra. The clasps are a little hard to undo one handed, but overall, I am very pleased with this bra. michelle from phoenix, az

I would have loved to keep this item, but it was just a little too small for me. If only they would make an XXL! Cheri from Redmond, OR

Let me tell you why I love this bra, because of the S/M/L sizing! Seriously, this is the perfect nursing bra for the last month of pregnancy and first month of breast feeding when your size is changing constantly and anything you get isn't going to fit next week. It is not real supportive, my test is how much the "girls" bounce if I bounce up and down. If you walk briskly in this bra you will get some major jiggle. However, since you don't do too much of anything briskly during this time period it looks nice under clothes. It's so comfortable, after you finally settle into a size and can get one more supportive this makes an excellent sleep bra. I still wear it every night! Cam from KY

Most comfy nursing bra I've ever worn- and I have tried A LOT of different ones. I think the fairly wide microfiber band is part of what makes it so comfortable. I have had a lot of problems with pain this time around, and I find that I only want to wear this bra, especially if I have a plug or am engorged. I thought the removable pads were silly at first, but they are actually flattering under a shirt. I agree with some of the other posters that this bra is not as supportive as I'd like, but that is probably part of why it's so comfy. It looks better under clothes than some other Bravado bras I have tried, which squish my boobs yet still make them sag. Adele from NC

I just got this bra and am very impressed. It is VERY comfortable and the support is better than I thought it would be. Being a 38DD pre-pregnancy I thought there was no way a bra without an underwire would work so I purchased a nursing bra with a wire. Two lactation consultants told me "DO NOT wear a nursing bra with an underwire" but I did anyway. Although I didn't have any major problems with the wire, I did find I would get a hard lump after wearing it all day - this would go away at night when I wore a non-wire sleep bra. So I got this bra to compare and long story short, it's great - very comfortable, good support and smooth under tops even with a nursing pad. Jenn from Boston, MA

had to purchase the Large size in this bra, just so that I could get the cup coverage I needed. But my 32 rib measurement means that I will need for the Bra to be altered before the bra can give me the support my back needs with such large and heavy maternity and nursing breasts. The only reason I am not sending this bra back is because I plan to use it as a nursing bra around the house, and I think that it can be altered to provide me with better support Dawn from Broken Arrow, OK

I am petite but have a large cup size. I wanted a supportive bra that was comfortable. The snaps are easy to use and I like that this bra comes in more than one color. christina from boston, ma

My daughter's first comment after trying on the medium size was to say that it was not supportive enough for her current 23" F size breasts. She did agree that it might be fine for a sleeping bra once the baby arrives and during the nightime feedings. She did though asked me to exchange it for a large size since the cups in the medium size bra seemed nearly to small for her even during her 8th month of pregnancy and she was afraid that that they would really be too small when her milk comes in after the baby is born. At the fitting session, we did not realize that we could remove the cookies, or if removing them would have changed her opinion. Mary from Tulsa OK

The Bravado Body Silk is a very comfortable, soft, well-made bra. I love that the cups open up really wide, and that it's seamless and soft.

Critiques: It doesn't offer much in the way of support; it doesn't so much support as it flattens. I feel it makes me look droopy or dowdy, and I'm not large-busted! Also the range of sizes should be just a bit wider. I normally wear a 30 band (a 32 immediately postpartum), so the Small (for band sizes 32-36) in this bra requires constant adjustment due to the band being too loose. Another thing that bothers me is that the lining is microfiber. Nursing bras should be lined with cotton, or at the very least, a cotton blend.

All in all, I'm happy with this bra for the postpartum period while everything is still tender and fluctuating (and you don't care what you look like). After that, it's just a backup for me when everything else is in the laundry!

HerRoom Response: Thank you for pointing out that you are actually a 30 band size. This bra is not designed to fit your size in it's size S. Sara from Buffalo, NY
