I bought this bra from a chain baby store and followed the chart on back to get the correct size, which for me was a Medium; 34C. This bra's elastic is not strong enough to stay firmly around my body. For some reason it always slides up when I wear it so the bottom of the bra ends up sitting across my nipples - not very comfortable to wake up to. I think this is a case of a poorly designed bra with not enough elastic, or they mislabeled the size chart on the back. Do not get this bra if you are thinking about it. Madela makes one that resembles a sports bra and clips at the shoulder and is made of a super stretchy material (it is far more comfortable and it works fine for sleeping and nursing). If you decide to buy this bra and are on the borderline between sizes, go with the larger size.

I'm a 36C and in my second trimester and ordered this to keep nursing pads in at night. I'm an average-sized woman and the large size is almost too small. I know there's no way I'll be able to wear this once my milk comes in. Is comfortable enough for now, and OK to sleep in, but the chest band was pretty itchy the first few times and I think it could be designed to be bigger and with softer materials.

A hole appeared near the seams after just a handful of washes! I washed it a netting bag for delicates and sometimes even handwash. Also the seams are coming undone. I had to use scissors to cut the seams that was starting to fall apart. This is not worth the money since I only got 5-10 uses out of it and it's starting to fall apart.

I gave it one star because I like how it is very convenient w/o the clasps. When you have a crying baby you can easily get to the breast w/o the clumsy clasps. It does not hide the breast pad very well. this is definitely something for sleeping not going outside especially if you worn under a thin blouse.

Also the sizes run small. I am normally a small and 34A. After pregnancy I did go a size up on normal bras. I first ordered medium but when it came it was so tight around the bust and the back was riding up. I had to ship it back and exchange for a large.

I just wanted to offer the opinion of someone with a large chest- I am normally a 36DD and am probably a cup size at least larger than that right now while nursing- but otherwise fairly slender- I wear a size 4 or 6 in clothes- so I was worried about ordering a large because I thought the band around the bottom might be too loose. However- the large size fit well. This is the first nursing sleep bra that I am not spilling out of completely. I also purchased one made by motherhood maternity and would not recommend that one for women with larger busts because the front hardly has any elastic at all, and so my breasts fall out any time I bend a little bit. However, just one thing about this Medela bra I don't like- the material is a little thin...I have been wearing it very frequently (3x per week about) and think it might be worn out within a couple of months. Overall, I would definitely recommend it or buy one again if/when this one wears out.

This is my third child and the first time I have tried a sleep bra. I have been nursing at least one child (for about a year and 1/2 I nursed 2) for the past 4 1/2 years (with the exception of about 4 months before my 3rd was born). I have never had so much milk that regular leakage was a problem until my 3rd was born. I got this bra for light support at night and to hold nursing pads in place when I need them. I liked it so much that I ordered 2 more and I use one every night. It is very easy to nurse in when co-sleeping and very comfortable. I would highly recommend.

This nursing bra is super comfy and great for sleeping. It does little for support and easily shows my nursing pads, but as I mostly wear it in bed or around the house, it's great.

I love this bra for nursing... I wear it during the day and not just at night... don't have to worry about any hooks or snaps... it's fantastic!!!! It is the only bra I wear for nursing, I have several.

I was a little worried after reading other reviews but this is a great bra. It never claimed to be a sports bra or push up bra and all I wanted was something to keep my chest up off my belly without tight elastic or wires. I'm still pregnant so I'm not sure how it will work when I'm engorged, but I can't see it suddenly becoming flimsy just because I gave birth. As for comments about the material, it's like an old cotton t-shirt or even just like a pair of old-fashioned white cotton panties. It is thin, and when you get cold it shows, but it's not marketed as an outside the house bra anyway. I wear this every day and sleep in it too. It's a great lounge bra.

I really like this bra because it is so comfortable and simple. The fabric is very soft and there aren't any scratchy tags or lace trimmings. It washes very well. Sizing seems to be a bit on the tight side; so I would suggest buying the next size up if you find yourself in between sizes on their sizing chart like I was.

The size on this bra runs very small. I bought a medium and it was tiny, so much so that I threw it out I couldn't bother to return it and pay for reshipping.
