Because of my LO’s prematurity, I unexpectantly found myself having to pump since birth. Now that we’re getting closer to his due date, I’m also working with him on breastfeeding. This bra is the BEST of both worlds and I love that I don’t have to change from a nursing bra to pumping bra during the day. I was a 34D pre-pregnancy, and have no idea what size I am now, but because the ladies change size throughout the day (and I was already blessed with boobs pre-pregnancy,) I played it safe and ordered the Large. Fits perfectly, even at my breasts’ fullest. I do not need the band extender, but I love when bras come with that, to ensure you get the most perfect band fit. I use the Spectra S2 pump and I’m so happy that this bra works with the Spectra’s abnormal flanges. So many pumping bras don’t. I do worry about the holes stretching over time, but that’s a future Chelsea problem. 100% worth the cost, will probably purchase a spare or 2! As always, the quality is what you would expect with Kindred Braverly. The only con I have is that because of the layers, it makes already big boobs look even bigger. But, if that’s my biggest problem, then I’d say we’re good to go!

The size chart is amazing! So thankful for the busty sizing! The material is soft. The design is awesome! I still have some support which I really appreciate. The only thing I'm not super crazy about are the rings in the back to connect the straps to the band. I have extremely sensitive skin. The ring is a little thinner than other rings and sometimes it can be super uncomfortable. I just put a little piece of fabric between the ring and my skin if I'm going to be wearing it all day. Other than that, these bras are *flawless.* You will not regret buying these bras!

Great fit, comfortable bra, lovd that I can use it as a pumping bra as well. However as soon as you unhook the bra to nurse or pump the cups bunch up and roll and it's annoying to always fix. You have to remove them in order for the bra to function. Love that you have busty sizes to fit my narrow ribcage!!

The function is great. So much better than switching bras to pump/nurse/sleep. I followed the sizing instructions and measured under my bust. The bra itself runs small and I had to use the expander to wear it comfortably. My one complaint - that KB attempted to resolve quickly and painlessly - was the straps on two of my bras have exposed seams that are sharp and dig into my skin leaving scratch marks. I’ve wrapped bandages around the straps. But that’s not an elegant solution for a bra I purchased as an investment piece.

It looks a little bulky but it is super comfortable. It made my pumping journey a little comfortable. Please make bras for exclusive bras!!

I have a large chest and this was the only bra that truly worked for me. It gives support, is easy for nursing/pumping, and comes in a cute pink color now. I give it 4/5 stars only because the straps seem to get twisted and roll a little in the back (large chest ladies know that hurts your shoulders). Still the only bra I’ve found that works for me while breastfeeding. I think if the straps were a little wider it would be perfect.

I love the functionally of this bra with the double clips for pumping and nursing. I use a haaka on one side as my son nurses on the other and don't have to worry about him kicking it off. I'm usually 44dd so I got the largest busty size available and, while I fit in it, it's not super supportive, shapeless, and I have to constantly tighten the straps. The functionality during this time though is worth the cons of this bra cause there's nothing else like it on the market.

I like the comfort and function of this bra, but the seams in the back by the circles cut into my skin and cause quite a bit of irritation. My sublime nursing bras from 2 years ago had a different type of strap and seam placement. Please use that type, or something similar to it, for future versions of this bra. Other than that, this bra is so comfortable and fits so well!

Omg this bra is amazing I love it just after a couple of pumps especially at work. The only problem I have is the holes for the pump are a bit big, and I would have rather seen a criss cross style of fabric for the hole instead of just a hole. It makes it feel more natural that way to me. When I take the whole peice off my nipples just feel weird sticking out through the hole. I don't notice it when the bra is fully together though. Otherwise it fits great is so soft I can hardly tell I have it on other then the feel of the straps. I am a 40J so I got the XXL Busty and it fits great. It squishes the girls together a little, but no more then my other bras after several uses. I highly recommend this to any and every mom. I can't wait to try pumping on one side while nursing on the other. Thank you so much for making a bra like this possible especially for larger chested women.

I had to return the first set because of incorrect sizing. I have lost a ton of weight and thought I'd be okay with my normal size like my other nursing bras. I sized up and they are still a bit snug (the band expander helps). Like others have said the straps are digging into my shoulders.
