comfy fabric, decent fit, iffy flange placement
EDIT: i washed it once (per care instructions on the label) and the elastic is coming apart, so i changed my rating from 3 stars to 2 stars. i'm going to return it and try one of their other styles and hope this was just a defective item and they're not all such poor quality.I will start off by saying technically as a size 32G(DDDD) I am outside of their size chart (available on their website). I ordered a size M because M should fit 34DDD according to the size chart, and 34DDD has the same cup volume as 32G. So, I was not surprised when I received it and the band was not super tight or supportive on me. The bra is wide in general on me, with the straps fairly far apart, and some extra fabric in the armpit area. However, the cups are a little small. It would be fantastic if they could design a line specifically for larger busts (with smaller band sizes). But this does work ok compared to some other options I've tried. It's good enough for comfort around the house, but it doesn't fit quite right or offer great support.The good: I'm so glad to have found a pumping bra with cotton fabric. All the nylon and polyester options irritate my nipples so badly, I can't wear them throughout the day, but this one is comfortable for me.The bad: the flange placement is so far off to the sides! After I open up the flaps, I actually have to move my breast out to the side so my nipple will be within the opening. If I had firmer or smaller breasts I'm not sure it would work. Because of this strange placement it also does not have a great hold on the flange. However, it does work with my silicone (Pumpin Pals) flanges, which have a little extra suction to begin with. And it is so much easier to do breast compressions/massage while pumping in this bra, than with my bustier-style bra (Simple Wishes).There was also a small flaw in my products - a part of the elastic seemed to be stretched out/missing some threads. Not significant enough that I wanted to return it... but quality control may be lacking a bit. Besides that it does seem well made. Again, if they made a "busty" line, I would certainly buy more. As it stands, I'm not sure if I will. But it does fill what seems to be a hole in the market: pumping bras made from mainly natural materials!

Good and bad
I ordered a black and a white pumping bra. The good is: both work great with my spectra pump! Holds the flanges in place. Make sure the material is fully covering, even at the bottom, to prevent milk spill. The only time I've leaked milk is just being lazy with the placement. I like the stretchy material and it's more comfortable than other pumping bras I tried.The bad, however: the white one had an itchy spot on the edge of material where the hooks are placed. I filed it down with a nail file and it's better. I also suspect that the black bra had ink transfer on some lighter clothes the first time I washed it. It was the only thing new in the laundry. Partially my fault for not separating darks and lights, but at 2 months postpartum I barely have time to laundry. Was really disappointed that it ruined a couple items. So definitely separate if you order black.That said, I still found them very comfortable for the price and would still recommend.

Warnings
I originally got this in Nude. Perhaps it was my sensitive nipples with pumping and breastfeeding, but it hurt to wear and wasn't comfortable. However, I liked being able to pump and nurse with it. Only problem is the uncomfortable feeling on the nipple. Perhaps the thicker stitching? Also, when breastfeeding it is kind of tight. I ordered additional colors of white and black and for some reason found them more comfortable. Maybe bc my nipples aren't as sore? Just a warning. Also warning: lanolin cream etc will stain them permanently!! I can't get the stains out!!

Cut makes it difficult but functionally it works for pumping
It suits its function so I give it a 3 for that. Be aware you can’t nurse in it. Also, the cut of this bra makes it difficult to wear under anything. I have 1 shirt in my wardrobe that I can wear it with, otherwise it sticks out and looks bad. Would only work if you wear full t shirts.

Fell apart way too quickly- sent back and did not reorder
I loved this bra until it fell apart after approximately 5 washes. It was my only pumping bra & now I just use regular bras since I had to return this one. This bra got a hole in the side of it- right above the band. Not sure what happened, but apparently it wore out very quickly. I take very good care of my things & I was in the right size bra (just a side note). I wish I still had it as it was wonderful to be hands-free when pumping, but I gave up on it and did not reorder in fear of wasting my time again.

Life Saver!
This bra is a life saver! It fits pretty well and works wonders when you need your hands. I wear it to sleep in too for those late night pumping sessions. Not sure if it provides enough support to wear out in public or to work but it definitely works for at home use!

Great pumping bra
This is a genius design for pumping; it has made pumping a lot easier. However, I still workouts prefer the traditional clip-down design for nursing. Overall, though, I’d buy this bra again if it wore out or got lost.
