Soft supportive and a joy to wear. Been a larger bust size 38gg its been difficult to find maternity /nursing bras that fit. The xl fit great and id recommend to anyone.
I have used many Medela products in the past and they have all been good quality and well designed. This bra is no exception. The design is simple and effective, and the stitching flawless. It comes in neat packaging with no waste. It offers just the right mix of support and comfort, which is important in a nursing bra when you have sore nipples and aching breasts. In terms of sizing these are a little on the large size compared to a normal bra but that is fine for nursing where the size needed can change for several reasons.
I have no negatives; the price isn’t cheap but it’s reasonable for such a high quality product.

GOOD
=====
It’s fine.
This is a fitted, basic bra, ideal for when you need extra support in bed, or when relaxing.
For me, there wasn’t enough support, and I think its slightly too small on fitting – this means it stretches easily and soon loses its shape.
Comfortable to wear though, and looks nice on.
When you are looking for a maternity bra, it is not usually glamour that is the main aim, but comfort and ease of use. The ‘Medela Maternity Bra’ has all the elements you would expect; it has a comfortable fit, strong back and you can detach the side to allow easy access for feeding. Due to these bras being more for nursing than wearing out and about they come in sizes. These are generous with the Medium fitting someone that would be considered a large, especially during the feeding months. You may want to consider getting the size you think will be right, or go one smaller – going larger will not be required as Medela have taken into account changes in the body during pregnancy.
The lack of support means that this is a casual bra to be worn whilst feeding. You would probably want to consider something that gives you more support after that. As a maternity and feeding bra it does a good job as the soft material is light on sensitive areas and you can detach the cups one handed if you are feeding.
This type of bra is great in the third trimester and first few weeks/ months of breastfeeding as it is so stretchy and therefore can adapt to changes in breast size. Whilst there isn’t much support, it is very comfy as there are no wires or seams. It is easy to unclip one handed however there is no structure underneath so does expose more than other nursing bras. Overall I would recommend this for home/ nighttime use particularly in the early days of breastfeeding.
This bra is very comfortable and made of a very soft fabric. So easy to wear with thin shoulder straps that clip on and off easily. My niece who is seven months pregnant finds it the most comfortable maternity bra she has used so far. She is a 36C cup and this is supportive enough for her at the moment.
I don’t know how good it will be when she is breast feeding and her milk arrives, but at the moment she is delighted and says she is going to order two more. The sizes are not normal bra sizes but come in small, medium and large. The one we received is a medium and seems just the right size for a 36C bust. Happy to recommend as a maternity bra and hopefully a nursing one too.
Very comfortable fit. The fastenings are good quality and feel very secure, unlike cheaper brands. The straps are a good thickness without being overly broad. For me this is a good early pregnancy fit but I might struggle later. If the fabric was more breathable I would give it 5 stars but in warm weather you may find this a little too warm to be the most comfortable.
