NURSING/ BREASTFEEDING MOMS. BUY THIS.
It's not marketed as a nursing bra, but YOU GUYS. It is THE BEST bra for nursing in the WORLD. I have tried almost 50 different nursing bras, all which claim "support" and "comfort" and "ease of use", none of which legit have all three, and majority of which only last so long. Before breastfeeding, I was a 40J, while breastfeeding, I was anywhere from a 40J to a 40M depending on time of day, whether baby slept and I got engorged, after feeding, etc. I got a 6Luxe (6X-large on Amazon). Now that I'm done breastfeeding and just a plain ole 40J, the 5Luxe (5X-large) fits perfectly.
Sometimes, my left would be a 40Jish and my right would be a 40Mish AT THE SAME TIME. Nursing mamas, you know the struggle. I used to have to change bras depending on how full/ not full I was. Not this one. Just unvelcro that puppy at the strap (so easy with one hand if you're holding baby btw) and either loosen or tighten. And the support. is. still. there. All the time.
For nursing, it is SO easy and so quick - one hand, unvelcro one side, fold that side down, let baby latch and go to town. I used to also put in my wireless pump on the other side while she nursed. A little tip - loop the strap around the other side's strap then velcro so you don't have to reach for it when you're done. But really, it's not hard because the straps are SO long when unvelcroed. It's so nice. If you're using/ planning on using a wireless pump - these sizes adjust SO MUCH that they can be loose enough to be able to fit it in your wireless pumps no problem.
Seriously though. The support. I can jump around as much as a want and if I tighten them, the girls DON'T MOVE. Not kidding. I used to have to wear a regular bra, two sports bras, AND a tanktop with "support" in it to make my girls not move when I jump. Now, I get to put on ONE. And if I don't want that much support, I just loosen the straps.
It DOES take some getting used to if you're not used to legit support, and if you're like me, you're used to every sports bra ever rolling up to the underboob. This one stays put because of the forever-adjustable velcro band. Soooo much better than hooks.
Some tips: Loosen the straps and the band all the way, but have them velcroed. Go ahead and choose if you want racerback or "normal". Racerback def gives even more support, naturally. Put it on like you put on a jacket/ backpack. USE THE HOOKS in the front before you zip. This makes it so so easy. Then tighten the band on the bottom, have one hand on the left pulling it straight/tight, tighten at a slight angle down instead of straight across - don't know why but this works better for me. Then do the ole lift 'n' seperate, or bend over and get em where you want em. Then LAST, tighten up your shoulder straps to whatever is comfortable. Also - FOLLOW THE WASHING INSTRUCTIONS and USE THE LAUNDRY BAG. It will last so so so long if you do this.
If I could be in love with a bra, nursing bra, sports bra, etc. - this is it.
Pros: everything.
Cons: literally nothing. Just get it.
