My favourite nursing bra
Typically wears:14E Purchased:L
I love this bra so much! It’s my favourite nursing bra. It’s incredibly comfortable and supportive, and the fabric is so soft. So comfy I can sleep in it. Plus the clasps are easy to undo with only one hand - essential when you’ve got a crying hungry baby (or in my case, two)

Good nighttime bra
Typically wears:38K Purchased:
As someone who has always been very busty I have struggled to find bras that are made in my size and it is even harder to find bras in my size that are made well. This bra is very comfortable and works really well is the night time bra for breastfeeding. My one complaint on it is that the description says that this is a completely wire-free bra but the sides have a piece of flexi plastic in them that I found to be pretty painful and dug into my sides. I took a box cutter and nicked a hole to pull them out and now they are perfect. I just wish the description said that there was boning in the sides

Amazing bra!
Typically wears:38K Purchased:
As a large busted woman even pre-pregnancy it is incredibly difficult to find bras that are made in my size let alone made well. This bra is incredibly soft, comfortable, and supportive. I bought one during my third trimester as my other bras started to get too tight and decided that I would need two more after I gave birth. These are my go-to everyday bra! I don't have a single issue with them!

Sizing off
Typically wears:38C Purchased:L
I wanted a good pumping bra and bought the same size I bought from here in a different style, that I really like by the way. Way too small. $55 and doesnt fit in any comfortable manner.

Not great for E or F cups
Typically wears:34E Purchased:M
This ultimately wasn't the bra for me, but may work for some. I measure between a US E or F cup. I started with a medium based on the size chart. It ended up being too small in the cups. I contacted customer service. They recommended exchanging for a large. I tried that size - it did fit better in the cups, but the band is now too large. Even on the last hook, it's still too big and does not feel supportive. nPros: soft material, would have worked with wearable pump cups if I could find a size that worksnCons: not great for someone whose cup size is at the high end of the range. nFor anyone who is an E or F cup, I also tried the popping candy thinking maybe I just was too large for the rock candy - that style of bra had its own set of issues.

Only okay but not for me
Typically wears:34E Purchased:
Not the bra for me, but I do think it'd work for others. I measure at a US 34E. Started with this size - too small in the cups. Exchanged it for a 34F per customer service recommendations. This size did fit, but it still wasn't the bra for me.nPros: soft fabric in the cups and band, love the A frame supportnCons: the cup material is thin with no extra padding/lining so you can see your nipple outline. I hate this in bras. The silky/ribbon like fabric on the seam was also not soft, especially under your arms.

Ehh
Typically wears:34E Purchased:
This was only a mediocre bra for me, but it may also not have been the right size. So read the review with that in mind. I measure at a US E cup. But find that somewhere between E and F fit best. Unfortunately that size puts you right at the end of the rock candy size range, and not quite big enough for popping candy. I do use wearable cups to pump, so I thought the extra cup space would be helpful. nPros: it seems supportive and the fabric is soft and comfortablenCons: there is no lining/padding - you see nipple lines through your shirt. I hate that in bras but it may not bother others. It also ended up being too big in the cups to wear just as a bra. I could have used it to pump - but who wants to change bras just to pump. nThe lack of lining would have resulted in a return regardless of the sizing issue. Unfortunately the rock candy was too small and the popping candy too big for my size.

“Hi There, I just wanted to write and congratulate you on your knowledge and passion for maternity underwear. Since having our baby I started wearing your lingerie and the feel, fit and comfort it gives is just great. You certainly know how to make a new mum feel beautiful.Thank you for adding that something special and feminine to what is usually plain….. and well just ‘functional’ lingerie for expecting or new mums. Keep up the great work!!”

SARAH M • US
“I was blown away by how fantastic Cake Lingerie flexible wires are. As a mother who has been nursing or pregnant for the best part of 4 years, I’d forgotten what it was like to have proper support and life! Your bras are simply fantastic!”
DANIELLE J • US
“Positive Feedback! I just wanted to say how absolutely thrilled I am with my purchases. Everything has been excellent, of particular note has been the packaging (felt like my birthday), the lingerie bag (nice surprise), the tiniest of details (nothing seems to have been overlooked), the quality of the workmanship (exceptional) and most importantly the fit (extremely comfortable). The underwear I had to wear for my first pregnancy 7 years ago made me despondent but now I feel pregnant and sexy! Thank you!”
ANGELA XOXO
“I have the Blueberry Torte PJ’s and robe and want to pack my bag to head to hospital to have my baby so the new Apple Crumble Torte robe would be fantastic…. and looks comfy too.

SAMANTHA • US
“Hi, I received my order this morning after only ordering it late last week and I wanted to provide you with some feedback about how incredibly impressed I am with your service and your product. The packaging was simply gorgeous and the quality of the product is outstanding! I have tried on so many different nursing tops and they are all made of terrible fabric and do not fit well at all. The fit and material of your tops is fabulous – I am incredibly impressed and will be purchasing more from your product range. I have also emailed each of the women in my mothers group to let them know about your website and nursing top and will be praising you with all of my other friends who are currently pregnant.”

ERIN • CANADA
“Hi! Just wanted to send a quick note of feedback about your FABULOUS nursing tank, purchased a few months ago just after the birth of my 2nd child at Kick Maternity in Toronto, Canada. Wish this brand had been available for my first! It was the only tank left (apparently they had flown off the shelves), and I’m so glad it was in my size. I wear this item almost daily now, so can attest to how well it holds up after numerous washings. The fit is perfect (I really like the length), and it allows me to breastfeed very comfortably anywhere I go, providing coverage of my tummy. Thank you for such a well made product – I’m glad I found you!”
JANE C • AUSTRALIA
“WHAT! A bra I don't want to take off AND I'm breast feeding. Your bras are amazing to say the least. They are the most comfortable bra I have ever worn before after or during feeding. Please someday go into post feeding bras so that I never have to look elsewhere for a bra again. I am thankful that I feed for around two years so I will able to enjoy the life of my bras. Thank you thank you thank you. I have shape, support and I feel attractive (a little of a challenge post pregnancy). Please don't stop at maternity. I will be posting on facebook and sharing. Thank you again.”
SUSY ‘homemaker’ • US
“Hello, my name is Susy and I am a home maker, ;) literally. I live in Kansas with my husband and three glorious children ages 3, 20 months and 2 months. I discovered your nursing sleep/yoga bra while pregnant with Lila, the 20 month old and it was truly a lifesaver. Since the birth of Alba I have discovered your Rock Candy Seamless nursing bra and have since purchased four of them, permanently replacing all of my other nursing bras. I and my milk maids want to say, THANK YOU ALL for such glorious products! Keep up the great work and know that you have a personal promoter here in Kansas, USA. Thank you all!”
AMANDA LEIGH IRWIN
“I ordered my first pair of bras from your site the other day. Having the live chat was fantastic and very helpful. I received my purchase in prompt time and in such beautiful packaging. Along with my purchase was a lovely scarf as a free gift. I loved my purchase (and was sooooo comfortable) and the service so much, that I have just purchased another bra with briefs and briefs to match my last bra. Keep up the great work! Would definitely recommend to any pregnant woman or breastfeeding mum!!”
