Anita Maternity Women's Microfiber Underwire Nursing Bra #5068

I made the mistake of not reading the lower star reviews. The model makes it look like a lovely t-shirt bra. In reality this bra is a set of underwires with the thinnest of stretchy cups that are almost completely useless. Unless your boobs are really full bodied, this bra is not for you. And unless your nipples are completely flat and always dry, this bra is not for you, unless you like your headlights on. And if you're nursing with even a smallish nipple, chances are, you're headlights are pretty much always on. The cups are not even lined. I have pantries that have more body than this bra.

This bra saved me. Pre-pregnancy I was a 32DDD, an available but yet difficult size nonetheless. At about week 12 I got fitted by Nordstrom and got a new bra. I got refitted around week 25 and now at week 36 I know I am a 34H. I went ahead and ordered a 34H and 34I for nursing bras and they fit perfectly, like a glove. The underline is nonobstrusive and doesn’t get my armpit as some bras do. The straps are thick and strong, about an inch wide. The cup itself is thin, but that’s actually better than a thick material when you’re getting to sizes as big as mine because there is a little more flexibility. I am so grateful I found this bra it saves me going back to Nordstrom and custom making nursing bras since maternity stores don’t carry past DDD or E. I have two, and I think that will be enough.

I bought this while pregnant. I have a few other nursing bras by bravado - but I was still looking for some 'shape' when I get dressed up. Not the standard uni-boob the shelf bra / sports bra style gives you. I've been an underwire girl forever, so giving up underwire b/c I heard it 'bad for breastfeeding' was the main reason I started off with non underwire maternity bras. As far as that rumor goes... it's not true - you can wear underwire, and it's not going to ruin you as far as your milk production goes... mind you, in the early days a lounging bra may be more comfortable - but at some point post baby, you and your mate may want to go on a date - and heaven forbid you'd want to feel sexy and have two boobs - you can still rock the underwire with nursing features.So, my thoughts on this bra - reviewing the pictures online, I was expecting a thicker material or perhaps some sort of padding / density to the cup portion of the bra. (I'm in a G cup right now... I don't want padding... but, a little thickness in the material to conceal my nips would be nice). The other thing, the fabric is thin - choose your nursing pads wisely - with the bra and a light coloured / form-fitting shirt everyone may be able to see that nice circular outline that is catching any leaks. Awesome. Use the mirror, bright lighting before you leave the house... and maybe bring a shrug INCASE you notice once you are out and about... One thing I will say about the bra fabric... it washes easily, it dries quickly and even 'spot treating' it works great. A nice breathable fabric so it really never gets any scent stuck to it. (deodorant / body / etc)The size... is accurate - if you use a measuring tape and follow the chart properly. Yes - it feels surreal that now you are pregnant and all of a sudden you are THAT size - but guess what, it happens... and you want to go for comfort now and the bigger the boob the better the bra needs to be - this is a really good price for a bra that provides good comfort and support.The construction of the bra... if it fits right, (because you measured it and accepted what size you are)... the fit will be comfortable. The clasps are strong to hold up your new found boulders - and the clasps are easy to use one handed! Which means baby gets fed quick and smooth... you can even do it in the dark!The straps are wide enough, the don't dig into the shoulders - once you adjust them they stay put. The support is great!The clasps are easy to use, the fabric has stretch so you don't feel overly restrained.Basically, this is a pretty good nursing bra... the only issue I had was the fabric - but, that can be worked around. Since the fabric isn't all that bad... and well - many nursing bras seem to have the same 'we can see everything' effect this one at least provides support / comfort and everything else you need!

This is the second bra I received as I needed to exchange because the first one was too small. I have been wearing a 36DD throughout my pregnancy however the cup was becoming a bit small. I am now 7.5 months pregnant so rather spend the money on another bra I decided to purchase my nursing bra. After reading a few blogs for nursing bras and women with large breasts I decided on the Anita. I wanted to make sure I had room to grow once my milk comes so I went with a 36E thinking that would be enough however I found the cup to be a great fit for my current breasts and the band to be slightly tight. Knowing that comfort is a must and that I was only going to continue to grow, I exchanged for the next size up. I now own the 38G which fits much more comfortably however is still a tad on the snug side in the band however I do have room in the cup to grow. The main reason for giving the bra a 4 rather a 5 is that the picture is deceiving, making the bra to appear to have a soft thicker cup however the cup is very very thin. Nursing pads are going to be a must when wearing this bra in public especially with a thin shirt. Overall I wish the cup was thicker but the bra is very comfortable and offers great support.

I bought this bra a few years ago after my daughter was born. I mainly had two underwire bras that I used the two plus years that I nursed her. This bra has always been my favorite and I now currently wear everyday since my other one needs a wire to be reinforced to be wearable again. It is extremely comfortable and I've even fallen asleep in it a few times without noticing. I don't feel that the unlined cups are an issue. It looks great under t shirts and if I'm wearing a thin sweater or shirt I often also wear a cami. When the cups are unlatched it helps hold pumping flanges in place petty well. I wouldn't say entirely hands free but if you're sitting down and the bottles can be supported from below I find myself not holding the flanges all the t time. I'm considering getting another one soon in the raspberry color because it is so pretty and it would be nice to deviate from the white one. I should mention that my bra has held up considerably well. It's recommended to hand wash but I don't have the time. I wash it in the washing machine on delicate or normal cycle. I hang it to dry which doesn't take long. It shows some wear and tear in the band but again, I've been wearing it noon stop for almost 3 years and I don't hand wash it. Can't say enough to encourage someone to at least try it, it is my favorite bra!

I have bought this bra twice. The first one I ruined through washing in the washing machine but I was wearing it daily so it did well for a few months. The second one has lasted longer because I wash it in the machine inside a netted bag.I am breastfeeding my 4th baby and this is the best nursing bra I've ever purchased I have a very large bust and I cant believe after all these years that I didn't know you could get underwire nursing bras! This is so comfortable, I wear it 24/7 except for washing! Also gives a good shape and most importantly I didn't get that awful 'mono boob' thing going on as I did with non-wired nursing bras where your boobs stick together! This one keeps them nicely separate!Well worth the money.

This bra was comfortable and easy to clip/unclip. Didn’t really do it for me though. Brought a Bravissimo unpadded nursing bra in the same size and felt like it provided so much more support.

Product seemed well made and wires look like they would actually do something BUT I had to return this item due to sizing. Too small around the band and cup. Think if I ordered again I would go up a size in both directions. Hope that helps someone!

After wearing nursing bras with no underwire for 6 months it’s nice to have a bra that is supportive and comfortable. Gives a nice shape as well and is as easy to feed in as non underwired bras.

Cup size is small so go one bigger. I read the reviews first and did the same which was definitely good advice. This bra is amazing and gives great shape and support. Fabric is nice and soft but very strong so keeps breasts a nice shape. I've stocked up and bought more. No other nursing bra I've tried matches up to this one.

I followed others advice and bought one size bigger than normal (eg usually but 36C and I got 38D) and it fits perfectly. Really comfy, great product.

Wonderful bra for breastfeeding mamas!This is supportive and comfy and the best nursing bra I have found so far.

Great maternity/nursing bra for the larger bust. Due to the underwire it offers support and is comfortable to wear. Would definitely recommend I ended up purchasing 2.

Good bra overall, comfortable and fairly good for bigger busts too.

I love these bras. They are streets ahead of the usual nursing bra. Supportive, easy to drop the cup and give a smooth line. However, I've had to return the latest one because the cup is far too small.

I have a maternity and sports bra from Anita which I like a lot. The nursing bra is a bit less supportive than what I expected, but besides that it fits well and the shape is nice.

Best nursing bra ever and best price you can findI have only found out about Anita nursing bras with my third child and I wish someone told me about them earlier

Not as bad as some nursing bras I've tried but it does force the breasts quite far apart, which is odd.

Love this bra - bought two more in different colours! It was difficult to find a supportive, underwired, flattering nursing bra but this one fits the bill. Worth every penny, especially if you're 'well endowed'

Very comfy feeding bra
