I love this bra. I just ordered a second one in black. The first one was the light pink. A very nice light color to use under light colored shirts instead of the usualy nude/beige colors. I only ordered one because I have tried many many nursing bras in all price ranges and none of them have ever been worthy of buying a second. Some of them I just threw away. I have tried Medela bras in several styles, Target bras in several styles, Motherhood Maternity bras in several styles, etc. They all either hurt right away (underwire or rubbing) or later as they wore out, looked like crud after a few gentle cold-water washings in a lingerie wash bag (I never use the dryer), didn't offer decent support, were clumsy to use in public, or showed lumps and bumps either from the bra itself or the thin Medela disposable pads I used with them. This bra has none of those problems. I would have never ordered a non-underwire to use during the day or out and about given my size (I will share below) so I planned to use this just at home. But it is so comfortable and fits so well that I wear it everywhere and all the time, even at night. The rest of my bras are getting tossed. I love the thin pads to hide the pads and provide a nice shape under clothes. Although I have also used the bra without the pads and the fabric is so nice I almost don't need the removable pads anyway. The fit is terrific for me and it is sooo comfortable. No underwires to cause trouble now or later (although when not nursing all I wear is underwire) and no bad rubbing like some other bras do under my arms or on my back. Also, the bra comes with some little conversion clips and instructions to use it after you are done nursing and don't need the fold down cup feature. Clever. If the bra was like my other nursing bras, I would have never thought I would use that feature, but it is so nice I will probably use it as a around the house and sleep bra when I am done nursing in a year. I don't plan to have more children, but may buy a third & fourth of these just for rotation sake and color change. I really wish I had found these with my last child. For reference, I ordered a medium. I wore a 34DD before getting pregnant, was slighly larger during pregnancy but made do with a few of my 34DD bras that fit a little larger. When I get measured, they measure me as a 32G, but I like the fit of 34DD better. I am 5'5" and was 128 lbs before getting pregnant. I'm 141 lbs now, 1.5 weeks after delivery. I hope this helps.
