As a mother breastfeeding her third child, I can honestly say this is the best nursing bra I have found. I ordered the black bra, and it's attractive, very supportive, and truly comfortable. The straps are quite wide and soft, alleviating much of the pressure on my shoulders. I wear a 34 H, and I feel confident and well supported in this bra, which is a true first with a nursing bra. Also, the cup clasps are easy to use, yet very secure. As with all bras, spending more upfront saves money in the long run. I would recommend doing a Google search for Anita's sizing charts before you order. The band size on this bra runs large, so I ordered one size smaller than I would normally wear and got a perfect fit. Happy nursing!

If you were somewhere around a DD before pregnancy and loved underwire this is the bra for you! My back was killing me after I started breastfeeding because none of the bras I'd gotten were supportive enough for breasts that had ballooned out to an F cup. I bought 2 of these bras and all my problems were solved. Supportive, easy to hook and unhook, and the straps are wide enough that they don't dig. This bra may cost a lot, but it is well worth it when you don't want to give up breastfeeding just because your back hurts.

I ordered this bra because of the description "Anita Style 5035. Comfortable molded nursing bra." It was not at all what I would refer to as "molded." In fact, it was not lined at all. I could see my hand through the material in the cups! I understand that many women have to wear nursing pads under their bras because of leaking, etc. If I had to wear them, then I wouldn't mind if the bra wasn't lined because they would cover everything. I do not have to wear them, so I have been searching for a bra in 34F that is actually fully lined for, ahem, modesty. So far, I have tried over 6 styles. 2 of them have been lined enough, but they do not have the size I need now as I move back to my prepregnancy band size but new nursing cup size. One of these two styles was Playtex Women's Nursing Underwire Bra 4115. Also, just for future reference, Anita Maternity Women's Microfiber Nursing Bra #5068 is not lined either.
I have returned this item and ordered Elomi Seamless Underwire Nursing Bra Style 3912 - Nude - 34F. Hopefully it will be lined sufficiently!

I have worn this bra every single day since my son was born 4 months ago. It is the most comfortable bra I have ever owned!! I have washed it ALOT since it's the only nursing bra I like enough to wear everyday, and it's held up really well - I wash it by hand in the sink and it seems as new as the day I first put it on, in spite of washing it every few days. The clasps are super easy to use - easy to open and close with one hand (and in the dark, I might add!), which is really great when you're trying to get it open while juggling a hungry baby. I do think the cup sizes run small - I ordered one cup size larger than usual (F instead of DD), although I ordered the same band size I always wear. I cannot say enough good things about this bra!! It is a little expensive, but is absolutely worth every penny - I'm just about to order a second one so that I won't have to wear the same one every day...

This bra is great if you are a larger size cup. I generally am a 40DD and in this I took a 40H. Loved that it didn't have extra padding in the cup. It keeps you lifted instead of sagging like a lot of the nursing bras I've tried. I was fitted at a local bra shop and loved this bra (compared to the other available options they had). But it was $61 locally so decided to check the model number online to get a better price ($41). I also noticed the tan bra was more expensive than either the white or black - can't imagine why???

I really liked this bra. I have a lot of trouble finding bras to fit (34/36 H) and this one fit perfectly. The only problem is about 1 1/2 months down the road, one of the wires poked through. It is not worth the money I paid for the short time it lasted. It is supportive, though, for large breasted women.

I love this bra. I'm nursing my 6-month old son (and also nursed my first for 18 months) and this is by far the best nursing bra I've found. I'm a 38DD(E), so I need good support. I love the way this bra shapes and lifts like a standard bra, without being too bulky. The material is thin and lightweight and doesn't have a pattern that will show through clothing like some other nursing bras I've used. It's pretty easy to open and close the clasps one handed, which can be essential with holding a wiggly, hungry baby. Great bra!

This bra had decent support. I'm a 38f, but the material was too thin, so my breast pads would show in my clothing.

I love love love this bra. This is my second child and second time nursing and he's now six months old. I've purchased two of these and two other anita nursing bras, neither of which are nearly as supportive. The band on the #5068 stretched out and the other one is not an underwire so I mostly wear it around the house. The cheaper ones from places like Target and Motherhood didn't last more than a few months but these are holding up really well, even with frequent washing. They are really supportive and look good under clothes, so I don't look "droopy" or "jiggly" at work. I would, however, recommend going to a local nursing bra store that carries them to make sure you have the right size - I'm usually a 36b, and while nursing I'm a 36E - but I found significantly lower prices on amazon.

I've had this bra now for about a month and so far it's working out well. Seems to be good quality and as comfortable as you'll probably get at this point. My only complaint is that they seem to run on the small side--I'd say about 2 sizes too small. If you can find a store that sells these bras, I'd highly recommend trying them on. Then ordering through Amazon since it's so much cheaper. I ended up having to pay almost $30 for ground shipping through FedEx to send back the 2 that I originally bought.
