Bliss Plunge Adjustable Bralette

Finally, a comfortable bra. The fabric is soft and cool for summer and (miracle-of -miracles), its wide band stays where it is supposed to be. After the pandemic, I just stopped wearing bras, unless I absolutely had to wear one. But now, I have no problem putting it on first thing in the morning and ...forgetting about it. I love it.

Ok so this might be a lot but if you, like me, have a larger cup size with a smaller band size, have denser breasts and are nursing (so size fluctuations) and are sweating like no tomorrow because post partum hormones (and maybe a dash of perimenopause because yeah older moms!) - this might be a great bra for you. There are normal bras and pregnancy bras and nursing bras and I have tried so many of them because I just can't get comfortable and feeding my hungry caterpillar baby is like nonstop any time any place so we need access.

I like the bamboo Bloom Eden 3-in-1 Nursing Bra from Tender Seasons but my size (XL) is sold out all the time. I got their Lace Bra so I wouldn't have full back coverage all the time but got a massive rash around the band of course after I got excited thinking it would work and bought it in three colors (see sweating). I have the Kindred Bravely French Terry Racerback Nursing & Sleep Bras that have lasted through years of wash and wear because pregnancy then nursing and then post partum and then pregnancy and nursing again (some shrank but some made it) - I found them necessary for immediate post partum support but they also are very warm and heavy. They are also pretty decent for sleeping. The problem with them is the band will start rolling at some point but probably my fault for washing and drying them like socks. I prefer pull aside to clips but the clip ones tend to be the one with back fasteners which I find give better support and you feel a little more like a human lady and not a swamp creature.

Pre-pregnancy I was a 34DD and I'm def bigger than that right now but seriously how do you find something that fits when you have your hands full with your baby and maybe additional children and a job and trying to fit a shower in there somewhere.

So enter this bra like really I'm so grateful because so far (I don't want to get too excited in case some issue comes up in a week and it ends up not working) it has been amazing. I got my first one a month ago. It has the back hooks, it is super light and cool to the touch, no wires, pulls aside easily for nursing, its an actual bra not a full back coverage monstrosity so I can wear some semi normal clothes instead of just living in t-shirts. The band is thick enough to give me the longline feel I like - I got a tape measure finally my rib cage is 32 inches and my over cup size measurement is 39. The cups are supporting through all the size changes through the day. You can adjust the straps to racerback easily if you want. There are three hooks. Also for breastfeeding - you can leak and slather on that nipple butter this bra can take it. The leaks will dry easily, the butter won't stain through in my experience at least.

I got the L. I wore it one super hot day all day, got really sweaty like multiple times - no rash. It's well made and thoughtfully fully designed - I can't think of the last time, if ever, that I was putting on a bra and thought - someone with actual breasts was involved in designing this. I'm no longer googling breast reduction every other day or just constantly tugging at my bra in misery so seriously thank you so much. Huge quality of life upgrade. I have three now I hope to stick with this bra once I'm done nursing as well.

I love this bra. I wear a 40DD and I find this to be supportive enough that I don't feel exposed but comfortable enough to wear all day. This might be my new go to bra.

I love the Bliss Plunge Adjustable Bralette. The material is soft and light. I like the plunge because it does not show in tops. It also has wider side bands.

And it's straps hold where you set them. I've never paid so much for a bra before, but this one is worth it. Saving my pennies to buy more.
