Bella Materna Women's Maternity Sexy T-Shirt Nursing Bra

Bella Materna formerly made in USA was my favorite nursing bra with our first child due to the comfy, attractive fit and luxurious feeling fabric quality. This newer style manufactured in China has stiffer cups that are harder to fold down, the fit of the cup shape is awkward, the band under the back of armpit is higer pushing baby weight in an unflattering manner, and the feel of the fabric is no longer Luxurious. The elastic around the base of the band also seems to be of diminished quality. I still have my older version 6 years later (it's a size too small now) yet the fabric still feels silky. The current version is no longer worth more than half of its sixty dollar price for the comfort or quality. I had hoped to keep all 3 ordered and be set for the next year+ of nursing, instead I will keep only one and look at Target as others have suggested.

I previously purchased the Bella Materna Women's Full Cup Adjustable Anytime Nursing Bralet in a 32G/H. While that bra is great for home and night time, I wanted to also get a more "normal" nursing bra to wear out... something with more shape, support and padding in the cup to hide nursing pads and other private info. I first ordered this bra in a 32H but the cups were massive so I got the 32G and it fits amazing. Because I'm an unusual size (bigger cups, smaller band) I can't just pick up a nursing bra at Target and be done with it, so I'm happy to pay the higher price for a bra that actually fits and holds things in place. Definitely worth a try!

This Bra is the best fitting Bra I have ever owned! Hands down. I am a 32G and It has the best shape and support for anything you are wearing! I actually felt sexy in this bra, the underwire is extremely comfortable and it gives amazing separation! It makes my girls look fake and I LOVE that. I think this bra is the best of all worlds and if you are wavering between options, get this one. You will buy this in your normal size after you are done nursing! If you look at my other bella reviews and have a large chest you will be able to see what bra will work for what you want it for.I would give this bra 10 stars. I did wear this bra down because It is slightly more fragile than the hard core stretch bras, BUT I was my bras in the machine (I know, bad) So it would have lasted way longer than a year & 1/2 If i had been careful. I also washed it daily because I did not use breast pads and would just change my bra.I really appreciate that these bras are chemical free and tested. that is the reason I don't use those awful bleached chemical pads.I received a gift for my review, but purchased this bra and stand by every word I write! Buy IT! I wish I had this bra right when I started nursing because I would have felt so much better in my clothes! love love love this bra!Update, my bra is stretching out and not washing well. Its not holding the cup shape, I'm kind of bummed. I have 2 of these and 1 is a smaller size for when i lose weight. I'm hoping that the 2nd bra does not do the same thing.

I loved this bra when I first put it on. The shape was awesome! But it wasn't long before my breasts started to "migrate." It seems to be designed to give lots of cleavage and sort of pushes the breasts up and center. It's not that deep of a plunge, but for me, it caused the same problem as a plunge bra, lots of center spillage, very visible through my clothes. I thought maybe it was a sizing issue and tried a larger cup size, but it was much too large. If plunge style bras don't contain you, this bra may not be your best option, just due to the cup shape.

Pros: Fits great (slightly small in the band), padded enough to hide nipples, doesn't make boobs look far apart, high quality, strap adjusters on the front side (way easier!), totally smooth under even tight tops, doesn't show under scoop necksCons: Wide underwire (especially in my F cup) and thickish padding make it difficult to fold down well. I could manage ok for nursing, but I think pumping would be difficult.I also ordered the "Bella Materna Women's Full Cup T-Shirt Nursing Bra" and found the fit to be the same. This 'sexy' one has slightly lower cut cups and the lace at the top but they are otherwise the same.

I don't know where I'd be without this bra! I ordered a 32 E and wore it the last 2 months of my pregnancy and the first few months postpartum. I don't fill it out quite so well anymore, but it still looks great under clothing. The shape was good and it was comfortable during that last most uncomfortable time in pregnancy. The nursing clips work well and are easy to unclick and reattach. I haven't had an issue with them at all. It washes well. I air dry all bras.

I live in this bra (and the 2nd one I got in a different color). The cups are shaped, and hold up well to being smooshed and washed (ON DELICATE). I love that this bra is actually attractive. I feel good about myself when I wear it - unlike other nursing bras. At first, the lace was a little itchy, but after a few washes, it softened. The back sits perfectly, nice and low below my shoulder blades, and I don't feel it weighing down on my shoulders at all. The little circles in the center are meant to convert the snaps after you're done nursing into a permanent option, but for a 32 DDDD, the straps are too wide for the size of the rings, but it's a good idea.

These are the only underwear bras which don't cause mastitis or clogged ducts for me. Its invisible under t shirts. The lining is just thick enough to provide modesty for nursing nipples. There are four or five hook settings on the back of the wide band making it perfect for me to adjust as I've lost my pregnancy weight. The straps are adjustable from front of the bra, so no contorting to adjust the length of the straps. The sides come up pretty high in my size which I like but could be uncomfortable if they hit in a spot where they rub under the arm. The nursing hooks are easy to open with one hand but require both hands to close completely. I've hand washed this bra and hung to dry and its held up perfectly, no mishappen cups, elastic is still strong and stretchy. I love this bra and have 3!

Very small band, no stretch at all. Very nice looking, actually a sexy nursing bra! However as far as being a practical everyday bra this is far from that. The straps are thin and would definitely not last long and there is no stretch in the band so I'm sure it would be easily ripped. Not impressed with this other than the look but if I wanted a sexy bra to use for a reason other than nursing my baby I wouldn't buy one with nursing clips, since it wouldn't be on very long anyway.
