The one thing that changed about my body when I first fell pregnant with baby number 2 was my boobs. The growing and tenderness happened much earlier this time, which means I was straight back into my old maternity/nursing bras from my first pregnancy.
I was sensible and kept all of my maternity clothing, so dragged everything out of the loft and dug out the bras. With money being so tight right now I really didn’t want to buy any more, especially as I could feel my boobs growing quicker this time. I knew I’d be back not those bras in no time.
Reviewing a Bravado Body Silk Seamless Nursing Bra was a review I was more than happy to do. I was definitely at the stage of needing extra comfort in the bra area and I’ve heard such great things about Bravado products.
A couple of things that stood out to me about the Bravado Nursing Bra is the super soft fabric and the great fit.
The bras are sold in Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large, which means there is room to grow as your pregnancy progresses, as you’re not stuck buying a more specific size. I’m measuring at a 34 C/D but I don’t think I’m far off a 36, and the size medium fits nicely with room to grow.
I’ve worn a few brands of maternity/nursing bras and Bravado has been, by far, the most comfortable. I actually described it as like “wearing a cloud” to a friend!
Obviously I won’t be breastfeeding for a while (baby due in May) but I tested out the clips and the were really easy to open and close one handed.
I naturally have quite small boobs so most of the time I remove any extra padding as I feel weird wearing it. I’m sure a lot of women keep the padding in to enhance their boobs, but I actually like my small chest! The padded cups in the nursing bra do make my boobs look bigger, and I’d rather remove them, but keeping them in makes the bra fit better, so I’m keeping them in.
I thought long and hard (or maybe for a few seconds) about sharing a photo of me wearing the bra so you can see what it looks like, but I just don’t have the confidence to do that sorry!
The Bravado Body Silk Seamless Bra retails at £30, which may seem a little pricey, but it really is worth it. It’s so comfortable and wearing the right bra when your pregnant and breastfeeding is really important.

Oh, that looks so comfy. Reading this makes me yearn for a maternity bra. I am thirteen weeks pregnant with our second and my boobs are huge. Yet, I am still struggling with my normal bras. Stupid! I now know exactly which bra to get. Thanks for the super review. Hugs Lucy xxxx
It looks really comfortable. I need to look into getting one x
I’ve heard such good things about Bravado bras.
I’m pretty proud of my small chest too and I think I’d feel wearing padding. It’s like “oh hey, where did they come from?” 😀

I tried a Bravado yoga nursing bra recently and haven’t taken it off since. They are so comfortable. It almost feels like you’re not wearing one. This one looks great too. Love the colour x
My gosh this sounds super comfy – I never found that perfect breastfeeding bra and just thought they were all so ugly and frumpy if you know what I mean x
I invested in some nursing bras but they were half as comfortable as this one looks. Great review, although thankfully, I won’t be needing to invest, but i’ll be recommending them as something to try!
Bravado was definitely my most comfortable nursing bra by far.
This looks fab and I love the colour! I bought lots of these before my daughter was born and then I had no milk and was so gutted but yes they are fab and so so useful for breastfeeding. Fab review.
This looks such a great bra – I did invest in maternity bras when I was pregnant, they make such a difference. Kaz x
I think a good bra is really important. I love the colour of that one – I don’t remember having such pretty nursing bras. Best of luck with the baby – I am a May baby 🙂
Looks very comfy and soft
I never got a nursing bra before I had Amelia and only had one for when I was breastfeeding in the beginning. I didn’t think I needed one but bet I would have been more comfortable if I had had one. Definitely something to remember, this one looks great. All you want is comfort when your pregnant so any ways to do that, I’m in! X
Wow how comfy does that look! my nursing bras never looked like that! i had wires and all sorts! love the colour to!
I was the same second time around. Dug out the DM bras from the first trimester. They didn’t stay long mind! x
