Ingrid + IsabelMaternity Cooling Nursing Pumping Bra

Good initial impressions

For pregnancy: provides adequate support and comfort for my size D breasts. For nursing: outer panel may be unclipped and features sewn in padding. Inner panel is a crossover style unlined cup that can be pulled aside. Shoulder strap seems to stay anchored better than typical nursing bra with only a strap connected to the front of the bra. Still pregnant so haven’t actually nursed with it yet. For pumping: inner panel has overlapping flaps to insert flange between. Although not lactating yet, I tested it out wearing a Medela style pump setup. Suction seemed like it would maintain well with up to 2-4 oz in the bottle, some support of bottles may be necessary for maintained suction with 8 oz of weight in a bottle. Support of the pumping apparatus with this bra was better than a bandeau-style pumping only bra, and this bra is more convenient than dragging around and putting on a pumping bandeau. Un-detachable flange setups like a typical Spectra may not fit well or take extra maneuvering to insert.

I really like this bra

I really like this bra it looks nice and is very comfortable. The only problem is the holes where the pump flanges go are a little far apart for me.

The only flattering pumping bra

The only pumping bra that is comfortable and also flattering. Actually the only pumping bra I have found that is flattering at all. It’s pricey but it’s worth it.

This bra has the inserts

This bra has the inserts sewn in which I loved. I do laundry constantly and taking the pads in and out drove me insane with others. It has extra support through physics, not wires, and an extra feature to make it cross back. These bras are AMAZING!

Good and comfortable

I’ve bought so many bras

I’ve bought so many bras but this is my favorite. It’s 2 in 1 for pumping and nursing so it really beat all the rest. I wish I knew about these bras sooner.

Love the fabric.

It's Fine - Wish I Loved It

I splurged on this bra because I had been searching everywhere for a NUDE hands-free pumping bra. Finally I bit the bullet and ordered this (along with the cooling crossover bra), and this is just...fine. The material is comfortable, I like the thin/normal bra straps, and I love that it has a normal bra back with hooks. However, it takes a bit of maneuvering to get my flanges where they need to be, and I basically have to use my hands to hold my flanges in place to be most effective, which eliminates the hands-free portion of the bra. Also, this bra says it's for pumping and nursing, but it's a PAIN to nurse in. It takes extra steps to move all the fabric blah blah, not ideal. For pumping only, it's fine. For nursing, it's annoying.
