Do you have a Bravado nursing bra?

What do you think of it? Is it more like a regular bra or a sports bra?

I'm considering buying one this time around as the only nursing bra I have that I like is a sports bra. However it makes me look all smashed and dad gum it, when I'm nursing is the only time I get to have boobs, so I want to look like it! So, I'm on the look out for a good bra that will support my pitiful little C cup boobs, be easy to open/close but not smash me back down to an A or B cup look.

So, what do you think of them?

i'll definitely be watching this thread. i've been living in a target nursing tank while at home the last 2 weeks. i have what i thought were great nursing bras, but they are a royal PITA to actually nurse with. i'm a full C cup, too and the sports bra-type make me look terrible.

i know Marion got a bravado. maybe she'll let us know how its working.

Bravado has changed their nursing bra offerings. It used to be the sportsbra like thing. Now, they actually have some pretty stuff, including micro fiber. I really like their nursing tank and wore it this last summer even though I wasn't nursing because it's so cute and comfty.

I'll PM you a link to my favorite site.

I have 3 bravados...I love them! And they have some pretty cute prints- leopard print while nursing :>)
I like that they smash and I have cleavage, unfortunately that's only while nursing and wearing them!
I switch between them and some nursing tanks I got from Target!

I was considerably more than a C when I was nursing, and I had the largest size Bravado. I loved them. They were very much like sports bra to me -- in fact I used them as sports bras when I was done nursing.

I had Bravada bras with Myah (I use them for the first 6 months and then go back to regular bras) and I found them to be kind of more of a sports bra type of look but I haven't looked at the new ones yet so I will have to look at those ones. I loved them and thought they were great but I too am a small C when I am nursing (which is big for me!) and I appreciate being able to show them off a tad more than I felt I could with the Bravadas but the new styles might have fixed that problem, I'll have to look. I also found I need more padding than they provided but the disposable nursing pads provided a little more padding so I made it work. If you find any great deals/sites, let me know. I'll have to look at those microfiber ones for sure!

I have one and I LOVE it! It is so comfortable the pad in the cup is somewhat annoying when you are actually nursing, you kind of have to roll it down and place it under your breast...other than that it is great. I got a large and it fits perfect! I am not sure it was worth the $50 I paid for it, but overall it is great!
