Product Description
Bravado maternity/nursing bras are the best and the brand Belly Dance recommends. Wear these comfortable bras from pregnancy right into nursing. Bravado is made with a soft cotton/spandex with snap-down straps. They are available basic, plus, and double plus sizing. And don’t forget the Bravado washable breast pads-sold separately. Size chart is below. If you are between sizes, choose the larger size if you are further along in your pregancy.

Available in blush, skin, white, and black.
During my pregnancy, I rushed out and bought two of these bras after having them recommended by several people. All I can say is I don’t understand what all the fuss is about. It’s basically a very tight sports bra with snaps. My daughter is now three months old and I find that I wear the Bravados only when my $12 Motherhood Maternity sleep bras are dirty. I love the Motherhood bras (though I wear the sleep bra all day long). They are much softer, easier to get on and off and the cups just pull down instead of snapping. Even with the Bravado, I just pull the cup down instead of snapping it because it is so cumbersome to re-snap. I won’t be buying anymore Bravados. I’ll stick with the Motherhood bras or a cheap regular sports bra from now on.
I bought the wrong size in this bra b/c the sizing info on this site was off. Here is what the packaging says about sizing:
Small = 32-36 B
Small+ = 32-36 C-D
Small++ = 32-36 DD-F
Medium = 36-40 B-C
Medium+ = 36-40 D-DD
Medium++ = 36-40 DD-G
Large = 38-42 C-D
Large+ = 38-42 DD-E
Large++ = 38-42 E-G
XLarge = 42-46 C-D
XLarge+ = 42-46 DD-E
XLarge++ = 42-46 E-G
I bought the Bravado nursing bra because it is recommended for large-chested women. It’s definitely comfortable and I don’t mind the snaps at all – all of my nursing bras have some sort of snap or hook because of the support I need. The price is a little high but I didn’t give it five stars mainly because the snaps are very visible through clothing, whereas other closures are much more discreet.
