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.
