Kindred Bravely Women's Sublime Pumping + Nursing Hands Free Bra

This is the best nursing/pumping bra. I bought a variety of nursing bras while I was pregnant, but this is all I wear now that the baby’s here. I love the option to nurse on one side and pump hands free on the other, it’s a huge time and sanity saver. For me the size chart was accurate and the bra fits well. I’m still freshly postpartum so I’m using the band extender. Great idea and great execution.

I had high hopes for this bra after many positive recommendations, however this was so disappointing. The bra has SO many layers that it's super bulky and uncomfortable, especially if you have a larger chest. The bulkiness and thick seams gave me a clogged duct after wearing for a few days straight. After only a few uses, it developed a hole next to the pump insertion hole, and it stains very easily (from just a few drops of breast milk). Frankly all pumping bras are terrible, and I'd rate this middle of the pack. However for all the issues, I didn't think it was worth the hefty price tag.

I was hesitant to buy because of how expensive it is, but the quality is top tier! I’m a 38 DD and the L Busty fits well, it also comes with a bra extender for a more comfortable fit, it’s support is pretty good, and the sides hold everything in place better than any other nursing bra I’ve tried!

This bra works well but it’s so bulky I can’t really wear it under my clothes

Pros: pumping and nursing bra, secures flanges well due to tight fit, handy snap design. Cons: runs small, scratchy material, slits are too small for my Spectra flanges, pumping with the flanges is ruining the material, lumpy/bulky, too pricey. Momcozy bras were softer and fit my flanges better.

Runs horribly, horribly small, the material is tough & scratchy and so bulky it felt like bandages/a diaper on. I honestly can't fathom how anyone could wear this. Woof.

The snaps for the layers have KB on the snap. This flourish requires two hands to snap them, making it difficult to impossible to snap when you are holding an infant and only have one hand available. Other KB designs to not have this flourish and can be snapped back up with one hand.

This bra is doing… a lot. I’m normally a 30DDD. Right now, I’m probably up a band size and a cup size (so, 32DDD). I ordered in S-Busty. The band is great — adjustable and comes with any extra band lengthener if you need it. I have a short torso, and the straps at their longest setting were almost too short — but they work. Not the MOST flattering bra, but it works. The price is a little high for what it is.

Overall this is great quality! I like the versatility to go from pumping to nursing but it’s definitely a pain to connect/disconnect multiple clips for frequent nursing sessions compared to a bra that’s only for nursing. I found it to be way too bulky for me and hate that the pads aren’t sewn in like one of my other Kindred Bravely nursing bras so I removed the padding. The band extender is perfect for your ever changing postpartum body.

comfortable & practical

Way too small EVEN WITH BACK STRAP EXTENSION

I had to exchange the Small for a Medium. Even though I’m a 32DD and the size chart said the Small would fit, it was too tight everywhere. Around my boobs and the band, even with the expander. However, once I got the right size it was great! It doesn’t look like it would give a ton of support but it really does. Also, the bra looks very bulky when you hold it up, but on the body it really isn’t and the padding is actually really nice to have.

I wanted to like this bra when I first tried it, but it fit horribly and was uncomfortable. I was happy to find that they offered a 'full bust' size and based on their website size guide, I tried one. It made a huge difference. It's comfortable to wear all day so I no longer have to switch back and forth between my old pumping bras.

The recommended size is way too small. I’m a 40 D and had to use the extender. The armpits are baggy. The straps are weird. My nipples keep getting stuck in the pumping holes and it hurts. I tried to put them in the pumping hole but the material hurts. I wish I could return this bra. It feels like a solid bra but just doesn’t work.

The fit on this is very odd. The strap location is too close together and feels very unnatural. Also the band is tiny despite selecting the appropriate size on the size chart. Why enclose a band extender, why not just make it the proper size in the first place? This bra feels very thick and lumpy, I honestly prefer my super cheap nursing bra over this. I am giving 3 stars because despite all my complaints, it does work for pumping and technically does fit with the band extender. I just don’t understand how this bra is so popular and why there aren’t better alternatives.

Originally ordered a medium because I am not very big around or big chested and the XL barely fits me. It works for what it needs to…me pumping at home, but like others said, it’s very bulky and doesn’t look good under shirts.

Sizing chart is completely inaccurate. Ordered an xl (since that was what the size chart suggested) and it’s wayyy too small.

So I wanted to be mad at this bra based on reviews I read. It is bulky, it is a little cumbersome to use the clips, but it is actually a good fitting bra, very adjustable and stretchy. I am prone to mastitis and when I first saw it, I was thinking "oh no, that's mastitis waiting to happen" because it looks like it puts loads of pressure on the breast tissue, but it didn't for me. Especially with the bra extender. I also feel like I could do some light exercise in this bra and be supported. I needed something where I could pump one side and nurse on the other, pump both sides, or nurse both sides. This fit the bill. I wish the fabric were thinner and the straps were more adjustable. They're a little short. I am a 34C with wide set breasts and a M with the extender fit comfortably loose. Without the extender would fit better but I'm afraid of tight fitting clothes now after having health issues in the past with my breasts.

For breast feeding mamas, this bra is a must! It is a pumping and nursing bra in one, and no a nursing bra does not mean you can use it for pumping too. You need a couple of these for your busy life moms, trust me! It’s soft and comfortable, all day and the hole placement is pinch free during pumping sessions. I got XL busty and fits great (normally wear 38 DDD).

Literally the worst! It's so bulky and uncomfortable. The straps are in the worst place. Just all around crap! It doesn't fit even if you get the right size or size up. It's somehow tight and loose at the same time!
