Sweat and Milk Capucine 2 Bra Review

If you're in the market for a supportive sports bra that you can also use while pumping and nursing, the Capucine 2 Nursing and Pumping Bra by Sweat and Milk might be worth checking out. Use this link with my affiliate code Kristen15 for 15% off!

Key Features:

• Price: $65, but keep an eye out for sales
• Design: High neck with a zipper closure that reveals a traditional pumping and nursing bra underneath
• Clips: Regular nursing clasps

Pros of the Capucine 2:

• Comfortable: It's a pretty comfortable fit, even with the additional structure for workouts.
• Supportive: The high neck adds a lot of downward pressure for support, whether you're jogging, doing light exercise, or just chasing your kids. You’ll notice significantly less bounce than with a standard pumping or nursing bra.
• Removable Pads: It comes with removable pads, which I typically hate, but these are surprisingly fine. They don’t bunch up in the wash, either—a nice bonus!

Cons of the Capucine 2:

• Not for Long-Term Wear: I usually wear this for a quick workout, then change into a different bra. It’s not the most comfortable for all-day pumping or nursing.
• Clip Design Issues: The clip has a long, dangly strap that can get lost when nursing. It’s not attached to anything, which makes it tricky to manage.
• Pump Panel Troubles: The pumping panel doesn’t offer much coverage, so there’s a lot of underboob, at least for my size. Flanges also doesn’t stay put easily with the positioning of the overlapping fabrics, so I have to fidget with them during my sessions, which is super annoying.
• Not for Wearable Pumps: If you use a wearable cup pump, skip this bra—it’s way too taut. Stick to traditional flanges with this one.
  
  

As a sports bra, the Capucine 2 is a win. You get great support and minimal bounce. But as a pumping bra, it falls short. It’s perfect for a quick workout, but you’ll probably want to change into something else if you plan to pump or nurse right after.
