Customer Reviews of Bella Materna Padded T-Shirt Nursing Bra

I really wanted to like this nursing bra. However, the fit is so off it's unbelievable. I followed other reviewers' advice and purchased the nude bra in 1 band size up and 1 cup size smaller than I normally wear. The top of the cups seem to be too big still and the band is a smidgen tight. I expect the band issue will get better after I deliver the baby, but the cups will still be akward. Bear in mind, I wear Victoria's Secret bras normally and get professionally measured every 18-24 months to make sure I'm still in the right size bra. My VS bras are still comfy, even this far along in my third pregnancy. The Bella Maternity T-shirt bra would be awesome if they could get the fit right.

This is my second pregnancy and the first time around I purchased nursing bras from another major maternity clothing store (bras were in the $25 price range) and they were terribly uncomfortable. This bra was well worth the extra money. It's comfortable enough to wear all day long and it's attractive. I purchased one band size up from my regular size, but due to other reviews saying that the cups ran large, I purchased my same cup size. (I'm normally a 32B and purchased a 34B.) The bra fits very well (in my 8th month of pregnancy) and leaves a little room to grow in the cups for when I begin nursing.

I like this bra, but it's not an everyday option for me. The demi cups mean that my nursing pads can't be centered over the nipple, and as a heavy leaker, this is risky! With the straps being so far to the side (amazing lift and separate with this bra!) the hooks are not especially easy to release or re-attach. That said, if it's date night, this is your bra!

This bra doesn't fit as well as others in this price range. It seems to run a little big in the cup size, so there is a bit of gaping/wrinkling along the top of the cup. But it is nice looking and comfortable, so I'm hoping I can make it work.

Comfortable and good support (36C-D), exactly what I was looking for in a nursing bra--not too stiff, not flimsy, good coverage. I'll feel confident wearing this one under normal clothes and going back to work.

Finally a nursing bra with light padding and thin straps! I have this in black and nude and that's all I wear. It does run small across the ribs and a little big in the cups.

I love that this bra has padding to hide nursing pads. The fabric is beautiful and it fits great.

My favorite nursing bra of all time. Well worth the money.

I thought the underwires were still too restrictive.

Great support but not very comfortable.

Cup size seems a little smile

Great shape and comfort!

great support
