Hot Milk Women's Maternity Soft Nursing Bra - Comfortable & Supportive for Breastfeeding Moms - Perfect for Daytime Wear, Night Nursing, and Postpartum Recovery

OK First, lets get one thing straight as a FTM with no time to spare with this breast feeding thing, it's pretty "special" to take some time out to review anything. However, I hope to help some people who are in my boat understand the importance of size, fit, and support. Having a 36DDD before pregnancy and up to a 40H at this point, it is a huge deal to get some support for me ASAP. Let's talk quality. Item appears as pictured, but the sling itself isn't very supportive to my upper breast tissue as hoped. While I think the detailing on the bow and diamonds are cute and feminine, hindsight tells me I will probably remove them...potential choking hazard?One problem I have with such hefty, saggy boobs is having a lot of what I guess is commonly referred to as "side boob." This bra covers that issue far better than my normal underwires. Speaking of underwire, this is where this bra fits only "as expected." Very comfortable and smooth under arms and doesn't creep up into my armpits and has a sort of "long line" support along the ribcage and back. This is why I'm keeping it. Love the 6 size options on the band. There's so much fluctuation while nursing, it's insane! The shoulder straps aren't too wide for narrow shoulders, but the elastic helps "give."However, I am an underwire wearer since gradeschool. I don't know if I can handle the "glorified" shelf bra feeling. It's just impossible to find attractive, supportive options in my size, so I think I have "no choice," but to keep it. Got it today and honestly don't "love it." The lace is a bit itchy, wondering if it will soften up in the wash. Over all, for the money and my size, it is a valid keeper with tons of pros just the same.I have issues with a slight pucker at the top breast, lacy part and the middle that pulls away from my breastbone, with movement especially. I think this is probably just what to "expect" with a wireless bra in my size though...I love that there is no quadboob and the cotton insides are comfortable.There is great normal lift, just not any seperation in the bra itself for each breast. Ummn, haven't had it on very long and there is a bit of red marks/digging in my shoulders, but for once the straps don't fall and the clips stay hooked. I agree with other reviewers, the clips are harder than normal to rehook....So, what's more? Let me see. One reason I do like the nursing aspect of this bra is that the sling doesn't allow the breast to just flop out the opening...the bottom half of your cup stays inside the bra...something I imagine useful! I just wish the top part of the sling was tighter...to compress the breast into position almost. I don't know. I'm new to this! I find it odd that the nursing aspect of nursing bras is relagated to if it has the clasps or doesn't...there's so much more to speak of in this department, I find.For the record, I also ordered the Anita brand polka dot one, that bra itself is softer, but there is much better support and true to size in this brand. Although, that sling seems to be better built for function.. Hope this helps at least one momma who was just as confused in this department as I was...and that's saying something as I used to be a bra-fitter.
