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

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!

Really made a huge difference with being able to “hands free” pump.

This did not fit- per the size chart, an XL busty should fit up to a 40E. I'm a 38C and the band, with the extender, was not even close to big enough.

Way too tight does not fit right. The straps are on the very ends of my shoulders. And even with the extension I still had a hard time getting it on. This is not true to size. I believe that I got a xl and I am a 40dd and it didn’t fit.

Disappointed about the fit of this bra. I had to buy a second extender to make it work fir me and I am small, 5'3" and 145 pounds 6 weeks after giving birth. I have cheaper bras that have a better fit.

I was gifted this from my SIL who is also a pumping mama (thanks Kellisa!). I have many nursing bras and couldn’t justify the price of this one but she sold me on the convenience of a pumping/ nursing bra. It is comfortable and well made. I’m a 38C and I have a large. It fits perfect to a little room for growth if my boobs grow/ fill a little more.

I was so disappointed when I discovered that this bra is absolutely the worst bra I’ve ever worn. I ordered according to the measurements and everything was off. The band was too small, even with the band extender. And the band extender had extremely sharp plastic bits that scratch my skin whenever I move. The bra straps connect to the cups in the wrong position, making the cups gap at the arm pits and the straps slide off my shoulders. The cheapo three-pack I bought online are far better than this bra, which is startling considering the high quality of their other products. The only good thing about this bra is that the fabric is nice.

I have loved Kindred Bravey and only worn then on my breastfeeding and pumping journey. This bra gives great support for my size and has been very easy for me to pump on the go.

I really wanted to love this bra — and in many ways, I do. It is definitely the best combo pumping/nursing bra. It has lots of support and feels like a regular bra in a lot of ways. But, almost by necessity, it is bulky, and although it is sized appropriately, I find it a little too constricting. I'm not busty and have plenty of room in the cups/band, but have found twice now that the pressure of this bra has contributed to clogged ducts. It's just not that comfortable to wear for longer than a couple of hours at a time.
