They may as well have not bothered making this bra past H cup. They obviously haven't altered the shape of the pattern when moving into larger cup sizes- news flash bigger boobs are very round on top NOT flat. Only kept as literally the only non-wired bra that went to my size but despite getting two cup sizes larger and up a band size to 40L was still too small. But lack of choice meant still had to keep it.

6 months into breastfeeding after my second child this is the only bra I can stand to wear for more than two hours at a time. I got this after my first pregnancy and on and off over the last 3 years (through a second pregnancy) this bra is the only one I keep coming back to. It doesn't hurt my shoulders and neck, doesn't squish me and basically keeps me supported. Just ordered more!

Review by Megan on 
What can I say? I tolerated this bra as there wasn’t a great deal of choice on the market. Firstly, Royce need to be commended as the only mainstream bra company that does nursing bras above a J cup. But that’s where the compliment ends. Even though it goes up to an L cup, this bra couldn’t have been designed for women with big boobs! The shape is sort of saggy, down and out. It doesn’t really do much for delicate post-natal confidence (as the 21 year old fitting room assistant reminded me, you don’t need attractive bras when you’re nursing). But also, the shape doesn’t provide enough support putting a lot of strain on your back. Panache Sophie has much better uplift and shape, and is pretty but stops at a J cup. So a thumbs down for this bra (and it’s sister model, Luna). And a bit of a thumbs down too for bra manufacturers who can’t seem to get it together to make decent nursing bras above H and J cups. Come on Bravissimo, lead the way.

This bra fits well. And is the only nursing bra available in a 36L. So it's a shame that it's lined with what seems like tulle. It's rough and uncomfortable, especially if you have sensitive nipples (like from the early stages of nursing). It's unfortunate, because I have four year old nursing bras from Royce that I'm forced to wear so that I don't have to put up with the discomfort this bra causes.

Review by Katie on 
I wasn't expecting this to be a flattering bra, but I wasn't quite prepared for just how badly it would fit! So far this pregnancy I have had to size up to a 34kk in wired bras, which have been a bit roomy in the cups so I (wrongly) presumed I'd be safe ordering the same size for this nursing bra. I could not have been more wrong! I tried it on to find it seems at least 3 sizes too small in the cup, giving me that weird quad-boob shape but in an entirely strange space as this bra comes up VERY high on the chest. I've ordered the next size up and am hoping that is miraculously better, since nobody makes nursing bras bigger than a size L! I'm not holding out much hope though, especially since I could tell, even with the bra I tried on, that this is going to give an incredibly strange shape: pointy and droopy. I'm not expecting great things from a nursing bra, but this is a bit of a joke... I just don't have any other options!

This is the largest sized nursing bra available, which left with no other option I had to go with. I was really disappointed that there weren't options in bigger cup sizes and also that you can only buy 40L in black not nude, further limiting options

Review by Samantha on 
This bra feels like it is trying to pull my breasts downwards and apart. I have a naturally high sitting, full on top shape and always avoid full cup styles because they pinch the top of my breasts and do nothing for my shape. Unfortunately no one has made a nursing bra that works in a balconette style by the looks of it and there is such little choice in a KK cup we have to take what we can get sometimes. I'd honestly prefer an option that was wired. I find wired bras more comfortable, the structure at the sides is beneficial for my shape. It's a shame that there are no options that work with the shape of my body.

Sore Shoulders!2 out of 5 stars

Review by Stephanie on 
Having enjoyed the comfort of Bravissimo soft cup bra during my pregnancy I was looking forward to breastfeeding being easy with their nursing bra. While breastfeeding has been easy, it is not thanks to this bra. I have worn it about 5 times, with great reluctance. While the fit of the bra is good, hooking and unhooking the cup is also fine (but takes some practise), the greatest problem is the plastic strap length adjusters sit right on the shoulder. After wearing the bra for just a couple of hours I have very sore red marks on my shoulders where those little pieces of plastic cut in, and the area remains sore for days after. Thanks to that I am sticking with my Bravissimo soft cup where the strap adjusters sit on my back, even though it makes breast feeding in public very tricky.
