Rating: - Medela Sleep Bra
This is a good sleeping vra for nursing easy to feed baby and keeps everything in its place
Rating: - Very comfortable, lightweight support
This bra is very comfortable for sleeping and lounging around the house. On occasion, I prefer to wear this style of bra going out, say with V-necks tops or wraps, because it looks better (no bulky straps, flaps, or snaps). The fabric is smooth, breathable, and very thin/lightweight (though it provides more support than you would think for this type of bra). It's very easy to hand-wash just in case. As a 36B/C, I ordered a Large and it fits fine.
Rating: - Best Sleep Bra for Nursing Moms
The Medela Sleep Bra is by far the most comfortable sleep bra I have purchased and I have purchased many. Unfortunately it is difficult to know what will work best for you without trying every nursing bra out there.
The back is in an easy to wear racerback style with no clasps to mess with or lay on uncomfortably at night when you are trying to sleep. You just pull it over your head to put it on. The cups are draw back style so when you are up in the middle of the night to nurse your little one you don't have to fuss with clasps.
As some reviewers have mentioned, the fabric is thin, but I like that feature of this bra. It is 95% cotton with 5% spandex for that stretch we all need at times. You can put nursing pads in the cups, but I find them uncomfortable so I prefer to go without. If I get a little leakage during the night, it dries fairly quickly.
The sizing is on the small side, so if you are on a border size, I would order up. I'm a 38B and purchased the Medium at first. This one seemed too small. I exchanged for a Large and I'm much happier. In fact, I would say it is perfect. The manufacturers sizing chart isn't currently available on this page so I'll list it here.
32-34 A, B, & C = Small
36-38B, 36C, 32-34D, 34DD = Medium
40B, 3-40C, 36-38D, 36DD = Large
42B, 42C, 40D, 38-40DD = Extra Large
Rating: - Not so supportive
This was a very flimsy bra and I would not buy one again. Maybe it's great if you're a smaller size, but I'm a 38 D right now and the large was not cutting it. It is just not supportive.
Rating: - Very thin fabric...disappointing
They definitely could've gone with a more quality fabric on this one. Don't know how many washes it will take before shredding. I think it's more like worth $8.00. I wouldn't buy it again. But I give it an 'A' for comfort. By the way, I've found that with Medela sleep bras, you have to go one size up. I am a 36D (DD when breasts are really full) and I ordered the XL...it's the perfect size.
