Medela Underwire Seamless Bra - Basic Colors

Customer Reviews

great

The bra is great for nursing. But when it is worn all day it is uncomfortable.

Good support for full figure but has flaws

I've had this bra (I bought 2) for 6 months now, so I think it's time to write my review.
The quick release feature of these bras for easy nursing access is good, if you enjoy it popping open when the slightest bit of pressure is applied, mostly at inopportune times, like while just holding your baby, or holding your purse strap.
My breasts got big (40G) when my milk came in, so I had to get a big bra. From day 1, the underwire rubbed mercilessly IN my armpits. And about a month ago, the underwire actually popped out of the bra, in my armpit again. And now the other one rubs so bad on my armpits, I haven't been able to stand the pain, so have been avoiding the bra for 2 days now. Besides the over-support of wire on the sides, the wire in the middle fit confortably against my skin. The general shape is very good, it lifts and separates instead of bunching my breasts together into the one big uni-boob.
I do like that the bra has held up (besides the popping of underwire in 1). The fabric really hasn't stretched too much.
If I could make a perfect nursing bra, it'd be similar to this, but with hooks instead of quick-release clips, the wide padded shoulder straps would actually go back far enough to sit on my shoulders, and not my chest. And it would come in black, in all sizes! Not just the cute small sizes.

Great for experienced nursers

I love this bra. Any lactation consultant will tell you DO NOT WEAR UNDERWIRE while nursing in the first several months. You could end up with clogged ducts or mastitis. However, I bought this bra when my second baby was about a year and I love it!! It actually creates a great shape while still having room in the sides for where the milk builds up. It is comfortable and also makes me feel good about how I look. The other 'better-for-you' bras can definitely leave you sagging.

Best nursing bra for large cups

I've tried the handful of nursing bras that come in a G or H cup and Medela fits best, hands down. It gives me the most flattering silhouette of any brand; it lifts and separates instead of bunching my breasts together into the one big boob that most other brands create.

Didn't last

It started off okay, though there was some problems with the center wiring not lying flat, but then the wiring that came up under the arm began to rub. Then the wires started creeping out and stabbing me under the arm! Most unpleasant. So, the cup was fine, but the wires has serious issues.
