Emma-Jane Next Generation Nursing Bra (361)
Jj : how would you suggest I add this bra to Bratabase? It's neither your typical S-M-L-XL sizing (which usually only seems to "correspond" to 32B-34B-36B-38B or thereabouts) nor "standard" bra-sizing. The label in this Emma-Jane Next Generation Nursing Bra instead says: UK 32B-F, EU 70B-F, FR 85B-F
A little (p)review:
I've been living in this bra for two months now and I can only recommend it. As a 30FF, give or take a cup, I can get away with the 32B-F at the tightest (of four sets of) hooks. It's not a sexy bra, nor one for perfect separation, but it's oh so comfortable and practical, not to mention affordable, and it gives a very acceptable shape -- wish I had found out about it earlier! The multi-cup sizing seems to work for my short breasts. They're definitely somewhat squished together when fully saturated with milk (at which point I'm guessing I'm more of a 30G-GG anyway), but nothing I cannot live with. By now I have two of these in every colour (the "skin" is a sandy, going-on-yellow-ish beige sort of hue) for optimum rotation.
On my short upper torso this bra comes up quite high, but it looks like a regular cami under lower cut necklines, so I'm not too bothered. Gives me a rounded (I'm naturally extremely conical), reasonably supported, and somewhat compact, forward shape, without leaving me feeling squashed. Nice and wide straps with a decorative satin detailing. All materials are very soft and pleasantly firm -- they hold up extremely well, even to my abusive laundry regime. Drop cups very easy to operate with one hand. Under the lighter colours nursing pads might shine through, but I haven't found them visible under actual clothes.
If you're pregnant or (starting) breastfeeding, looking for an affordable solution (£11.00 at Figleaves), and roughly around the -- unfortunately somewhat limited -- size range of this bra, really, give it a shot

I always love to learn about a good nursing bra so this is really good info. Thanks for adding it!
I nursed for 2 years, weaned and then was pregnant 2 months later, so right now I'm preparing for Nursing: Round 2 and want to try to get some of the nursing bra shopping out of the way before I'm in dire need.
I'd definitely be interested in hearing about any other nursing bras you tried and what you thought of them. Going by your "about" page, we're not too far apart in size or shape, so your opinion is particularly useful to me.
