Heavier, thicker material than expected but this makes them a bit smarter to wear out of the house, whilst still being soft and stretchy, and should work well into colder weather. I do find they struggle to stay up over a third-trimester bump and slip down quite a bit, but I'm keeping them as I think they will sit better post-partum and the soft supportive waist band will be welcome then.

Really comfortable, light-weight leggings but which still give a supportive feel and the ribbing round the bump works really well. I prefer to wear them with a long top but they aren't see-through at all. Feel great quality for such a reasonable price. I would size up though - I was a UK 10/12 pre-pregnancy but the L/XL are a perfect, snug fit. (I also tried the Honey leggings but found they were even tighter fitting and in my opinion Butter are a much nicer fabric and feel)

Gives a good shape for a non-wired bra and it's nice to have a maternity/nursing bra which is more similar in style to the ones I used to wear, and which works under strappy/lower cut tops. Enough support for me as am not very busty. The band is really soft and comfortable to sit above the bump, though the material of the cups is not the softest and quite stiff, so not sure how easy it will be when nursing but enjoying wearing it currently during pregnancy.

Have loved wearing these - really lightweight soft fabric which is perfect when hot and bothered in late pregnancy. They stay up really well even over a large bump, and are surprisingly flattering despite comfortable loose fit. Can happily wear them when nipping out as well as around the house.

Beautifully soft, super comfy cami for sleeping in. The cups are generously sized meaning they're a bit loose on me (I'm a B-cup) as I took a medium for fit round the band and tummy (third trimester) but I don't mind because it's so comfortable to wear. Nice long length over the bump. Am sure I will wear it a lot post-partum too. Would be nice to have more colours!

Great bra and love the cup coverage and material. It’s super soft and gives great support for the girls. Four stars because the straps dig in a little on my shoulders and leave red marks.

Super cute nursing bra however the padding is very thin so my nips show through clothing. If that doesn’t bother you then NBD but personally I don’t like that.

“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 G • UK
“I washed my gorgeous Cake bras yesterday and they came out just like new! Really such lovely maternity and nursing lingerie! I recommend all pregnant and nursing ladies to invest in some Cake!”
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. Love your range I have loads of it and looks fantastic and feels great ….not uncomfortable like most maternity bras…. look forward to you letting us know when your new styles are available! Mel x”

“Hi there, I just wanted to say THANKYOU so much for the Black cotton candy set that I was super lucky enough to win from you in one of your giveaways. All I can say is wow.

Such beautiful lingerie at a time when every woman needs to feel special.”

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.”

“Thank heavens I found Cake Lingerie! I just received my first order (Rocky Road & Vanilla Cream) & I couldn’t be more pleased! Not only are these by far the best nursing bras, but they are the best bras I’ve ever hadl! They fit like a dream, the quality is fabulous, & the details are gorgeous! I was swooning as soon as I saw the pretty packaging, & then I saw the wonderful Mother’s Day scarf! You have a new customer for life. I’ll be wearing your bras even once I’m no longer nursing : ) Liquorice twist by Cake Lingerie is the best nursing bra ever! If only it came in nude too…”

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!!”
