First of all, this is not my correct size. I wear a 42N-O in US sizing, and as far as I can find the information for, there are no nursing bras in that size. So for this bra, I went up 2 sizes in the band, and down 2 in the cup, bought a 46L, and was planning on taking in the band to make it fit properly. It's a pretty firm band, though, for a 46. and so far (for 2-3 days) i've been able to get away with wearing this bra on the tightest hook, as a house bra anyway. It is loose, though, and starting ... to stretch fairly quickly, so I will need to take in the band.

the cups were a bit too tight the first day i got this bra, but they've stretched out a bit too -- maybe half a cup after only a couple days use. since it was a bit snug in the cups at first, i appreciate that, but the support may not hold up to frequent wear very well. the lace at the top edge of the cups is itchy.

my main issue with this bra is the shape. my breasts point very much away from each other, at about a 90 degree angle. the support is ok for a softcup, (I dont expect much support from a softcup in my size.) but i really prefer underwires -- the foam support is really no substitute for a wire, and it gets bunched up and has to be readjusted frequently.

overall i would never wear this bra out of the house, as the shape leaves much to be desired, but as a very large-cupped woman it's damn near impossible to find nursing bras, and this one does the trick at home.
