Nursing moms need a comfortable, relaxed, supportive environment. It’s natural for moms to prioritize baby’s comfort when it comes to breastfeeding, spending money on a nursing pillow and rocking chair. They forget the importance of quality nursing bras and tanks. The 4th Time Around, I’ve discovered something I think should be gifted at every new mom’s shower: A Bravado Nursing Bra and Tank.
Bravado Designs sets the standard in nursing bras. I’m embarrassed to say that I never prioritized a quality nursing bra in the past, settling for ill-fitting, lower quality solutions. This time around, I decided it was time to toss out the tired nursing bras stuffed in the back of my lingerie drawer and find comfortable solutions for the next year of nursing.
I discovered the joy of nursing tanks late into breastfeeding my 3rd child. This time, I visited a store before baby arrived to try on several brands and I decided that I liked the fit of the Bravado Designs tanks best. I found that the Signature Nursing Tank provided excellent comfort and support. I’ve now been wearing them day and night for 5 weeks post delivery and recently purchased more. These are the features I love:
- Includes a built-in, full support bra.
- Sized for your bra cup to provide excellent support.
- Wire free – a must for nursing bras.
- Hip length, stretchy tank is great for layering and fits snugly, but comfortably.
- Thick straps provide needed support.
- Attractive stitching and sweetheart neckline make it a great layering piece.
This tank has very few drawbacks. I find the Signature less soft than the Bravado Basics line found at Target, but more supportive and structured. This tank is an investment, but well worth it. You deserve to be comfortable and to wear a quality bra.
Bravado also generously sent me the Signature Essential Embrace Nursing Bra to try. I especially appreciate that this provides support, without the use of an under wire. I often found with other nursing bra brands that I had to choose comfort OR support – I couldn’t have both. Not so with this bra.
This bra was clearly created with the needs of a post-pregnancy body in mind. It is made of a comfortable cotton and microfiber blend. The bra has a slimming back panels and is seamless, so you feel your best during a potentially body-conscious time. If you purchase the bra to wear while pregnant and your sizing needs change, a bra extender is also included.
The Essential Embrace Nursing Bra also includes a complementary conversion kit, which is one of the reasons a friend recommended Bravado Designs to me. When you are finished nursing, you can follow the included instructions and use two Bravado B Clips to convert your nursing bra to a standard bra. You’ve basically purchased two bras in one.
We are so excited to have Bravado Designs as a sponsor at the upcoming The 4th Time Around Event – a Baby Shower with 40 sponsors and 2 huge prizes! Please visit their Facebook page to learn more about the nursing solutions Bravado offers.
