Elila Cotton Cup Wire Free Nursing Bra 1613 Reviews

At 34G, there are no bras in my size available locally, and it was very frustrating ordering and paying shipping, re-stocking fees and return shipping on 7 other bras before finding one that worked. This bra has been my savior. I've never in my life worn a non-underwire bra before, but this one had enough support without the uncomfortable underwires that were too restrictive when nursing. I wore it every day for over a year and it is still in good enough shape for my second child. The hooks on the cups are tiny metal dress hooks, the best type of hook I've found on a nursing bra. They are not bulky, stay hooked securely and are easy to unhook. I liked the cone shaped cups, as they gave a shape to my figure in that difficult postpartum stage when your body in transitioning back. And they provided enough room for my longish shaped breasts, unlike other types of bras that smush all that breast tissue to under the arm pit. Can't wait to buy another of these, I'm so glad it is still being made! Ann from NY

This bra had a lot of lift. It lifted and separated too much though. I got clogged ducts from trying it on. I wear a 34 G and this bra is sized correctly in the band but the cups are too big and cone shaped. The straps rubbed under my arms but the back and shoulders were super comfortable.

Elila Response: We would suggest you try a 34F then your cups will give you a more flattering shape. D from Colorado

This bra works pretty well. It requires readjusting to put the breast tissue back in place after nursing. It is comfortable for shorter periods of time. ald from Orlando

I was excited to try this bra, I was very disappointing. It did fit correctly, I used the Herroom universal cup sizing, but it was not comfortable at all, it pushed my breasts apart in the center of my chest so much it hurt the skin on my breast, my breasts pushed so far out to the sides that my arms would be knocking them when I move around. On a positive the shoulder straps have good adjustment, the under bust and back support is good, unfortunate that the cup design is not as good :(. Hope to return if I can. Carla from Australia

I returned it. It pulled my breasts apart too much and pointed them out to the sides. It just was uncomfortable. It did look well made though. Shelley from NY

I was looking forward to having an underwire free bra but this one was a no go. First it was way too small and the fit was weird, it had a weird shape and looked like I had lumpy breasts under my shirt. I sent it back. Melissa from United States

This bra is very supportive and comfortable. As someone with large breasts, I find the full surround support when the flap is down helpful. The only things I don't like are the mesh the band is made of is kind of scratchy and the way the cups are placed make my breasts seem very wide. Overall great bra. Jenna from Arlington, MA

The cups of this bra don't provide quite the support I need, but the fit is good and the hooks are easy to maneuver. I feel like the fabric of the cup is too thin and needs to be as thick as the fabric of the part that goes over the upper part of my breast. I find my breasts bulging between the cup and that part after I've been particularly active or am particularly full. Shannon

Love, love, love this bra. It's a true 32 band -- I'm 32 when not pregnant and can still fit this bra on the loosest setting -- and has generous cup support, including along the outside under the arms, but without being a total granny bra. Yes, it's huge, yes there are four clips in the back, but the support is fantastic and my "girls" don't droop after a couple of washes. I am wearing this bra as a maternity bra in the last weeks and expect it will be a good fit several months down the road after the baby is born. BG from SF Bay Area

Very heavy material and no support or definition to speak of in this bra. The sizing seemed correct, but my breasts were not supported or separated at all--it would be easier to wear nothing. In fairness, I have very heavy breast tissue and a small ribcage--none of the wireless nursing bras I have tried have worked for me. Still, I would not rate the bra very highly based on the thick and uncomfortable material. T.S. from Philadelphia

The cup is accurate, but the band is small compared to most others. Provides the most support compared to the other five i tried on and the other fifty million i looked at. Be aware there is no padding in the cup. May have to where pads. gb from gratis,oh,us

I need a lot of support for large heavy breasts..and this looked good. It was not. It made my breasts look like madonnas cone boobs. It was not comfortable or flattering. I returned it. Carrie

LOVE this bra. I really thought only an underwire could provide the support I need, but I this is wonderful. Plus, it doesn't come way up under your arms like other soft cup bras. And it still provides support with the cup dropped too. Melissa from Maryland

Finally a nursing bra with support that fits a 32J! I ordered no less than 5 other bras and was in tears as to how little they supported. I was just about to give up on finding a 32J nursing style bra when I ordered this. You almost can't tell that it doesn't have wires with how supportive it is. The band fits snug around the chest and doesn't rise in the back and cause droopage in the front. This is a wonderfull bra for the big busted yet small chested. Misty from Reno/Nevada/USA

Very happy with this bra. VERY supportive. Enough support that if I didn't know any better, I would assume that it had an underwire, even though it doesn't. I will be buying this bra again. cp

I'm currently nursing my seventh child, so naturally I've tried quite a few nursing bras over the years. I never really found anything acceptable until I found the Elila nursing bra a couple of years ago. If you need a high quality, very supportive nursing bra, this is it. I was happy to add a new black one this year. But honestly, if it weren't for wanting another bra quantity wise, I wouldn't have even needed to get another one. My older Elila nursing bra that I used all through the time of nursing my last baby has held up super well. I don't believe there's a better nursing bra out there. Susan

I wouldn't recommend this bra to anyone. There are plenty of other nursing bras out there that are more flattering and more comfortable. Unfortunately, larger-chested gals can't escape pointy nursing bras, but this shape was very unflattering- pointy and wide. I thought the cotton would make it comfortable but it just gets wet and stays wet. The straps also have no give and are the most uncomfortable straps I have ever worn. The only plus side might be the cup fasteners- they are in no way convenient and take two hands to close but I imagine they might be strong enough for some women who have problems with regular clasps.

Elila Response: Yes, cotton when it gets wet, stays wet. Most people buy cotton because it is a fiber that is from nature. Man made fibers (fibers made from petroleum) do dry faster. The fit issue sounds like the bra was either too big or too tight in the back. Often people feel the bras a little pointy, but they are not, the bust just needs to be lifted into it’s proper place.

This is the most uncomfortable garment I have ever worn. The inner sling was very itchy on my very sensitive breasts. The straps are rigid so there is no room for adjustment making it very difficult to get comfortable when nursing. Susie from Texas

Lifts and separates. I was a bit leary at first, thinking the bra was a bit "old" for me. But I tried it on and it instantly slimmed me. I like that the band is not cotton, just the cups. The inner sling is lightly padded and quite supportive, so I don't have to hold my breast up while nursing. Jennifer from Troy, MI, USA

Fits well, comfortable, seems reasonably well made. Clasps on front could be easier to work with, but are functional. Good value, good price, good transaction. Overall, will probably do again for the next purchase. Ericka from Beaverton OR, USA
