Bravado offers several products for breastfeeding moms, including a basic nursing bra and a unique Clip and Pump Accessory. You can find the Original Nursing Bra here and the Clip and Pump Accessory here. Bravado also makes an all-in-one Hands-Free Pumping and Nursing Bra if you're looking for an option that combines both features seamlessly, though this review focuses on the nursing bra paired with the Clip and Pump accessory.
Key Features
- Price: $24–$30 depending on where and when you purchase (they often have sales on Amazon).
- Nursing: Easy clip-down access to expose the full breast for nursing.
- Pumping: Add the clip-on pumping accessory, which includes secure, stretchable flange holes.
- This setup was my go-to before many brands started making all-in-one bras. The clip-on accessory can actually be used with other clip-down nursing bras but works best with Bravado’s own.
Pros
- Comfortable & Supportive: Thick band offers good support and it's extremely comfy! It would also work well as a sleeping bra.
- Best for Mostly-Nursing Moms: Great option if you nurse regularly and pump occasionally.
- Secure Flange Fit: The pumping attachment holds flanges firmly, minimizing adjustments while pumping.
Cons
- Not Ideal for Exclusive Pumpers: If you’re exclusively pumping, consider a combined nursing and pumping bra for a similar price point. The two-step attachment may feel a bit cumbersome if you pump frequently.
Concluding Thoughts
The Bravado Nursing Bra and Clip-on Accessory are solid picks if you’re mainly nursing but want flexibility to pump. The clip-on attachment is a great add-on to have, especially if you already own nursing bras you love and just occasionally need hands-free pumping support.
