and a product review of my favorite sleep bra...

Medela Sleep Bra -- Product Review

I read your review of the Medela bra and I think that is what I bought . . . I say i think b/c I got them at a used Mat/Baby store for 2 for 12 buxs! The yare like new and i wear them all the time. I love them.

I have clips ones from Target.com that I like, but when you don't feel like getting out of PJ's for the day these work great!

Jen,

Are you talking about the sleep bra or the softcup? Just curious?

I am pretty sure it is the sleep bra . . . like I said I got it used so I don't have much to go on. It criss cross in the front and it made w/ some stretchy cotton.

How is the soft cup? My Target ones are getting tattered already I may need to buy more (I have 3 and 2 sleeping)!!

Jenny,

The sleep bras are more like a sports bra...usually a sort of racerback style and the cup stretches down off the breast without any sort of clip or hook.

The softcup (as opposed to underwire, which is not advised for nursing even though they make them), usually has a clip or hook on the strap that holds the cup in place, and under the cup there is some sort of full or partial frame around the breast.

I love my Medela Softcups, but only the seamless kind. They are totally worth the money. I used them for more than a year with my first daughter and am using the same three for going on 15 months with my second and they are still like new.
