Cake Maternity Wire Free Nursing Bra

These bras are firm but still soft enough to not clog ducts. They have an awesome feel to them and they are gorgeous too. Someone mentioned a chemical smell which I can’t smell on the one I received (and I don’t even wear perfumes bc I avoid chemicals) I have bought cake for the last two babies and they have not disappointed me yet. Simply the best nursing bra.

I was very excited for this product, because it is both cute and seems functional for my breast feeding needs. At $55 I have to say my expectations were high, however, I was sent a completely different cake maternity bra. One that looks nothing like the one listed. It’s called the Raison crissoant wireless. It was also sent in an actual size 34C rather than the medium for the bra I ordered. As a result the bra is much much too small. For these reasons I will be returning.

I’m updating this review because Cake has come out with busty sizes! I can now have the cup size i need with the band size I need. This is the best bra ever! I love that they made the cups thinner too (at least in the busty option anyway), it’ll be easier to fold down for nursing. The cups of my bra also came with creasing like a previous reviewer mentioned but my breasts filled the cup and the creasing went away, however I ordered directly from the manufacturer and they came well protected in a box. I have searched high and low for a good nursing bra and I’m currently in heaven wearing this bra.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Here’s my original review before busty sizes were available:
I’ve been searching for a comfortable, supportive nursing bra. According to the Cake website I am just barely a 36 inch band size, 33-33.5″ depending on how tight I pull the tape measure, 40″ overbust. I added a picture of the band size chart from the website because I couldn’t find the measurements on this product page.
Every other 36 I order is too large so I ordered both the medium and large. The band of the medium fit nicely but the cups were way too small. The large fits well except for the band, it feels loose on the tightest hooks. I can’t tell if this material will stretch out over time, hopefully not because that would render it useless for me. The whole bra feels like it’s floating over the top of my body but the back doesn’t ride up and when I check if everything is in place it still is… so I guess this is the best I can get for now.
The bra provides minimal support through the cups. The material on the rest of the bra is too stretchy to offer support so the whole weight of my breasts is on my shoulders and it leads to more shoulder pain than I’ve ever experienced with a bra. The clips are almost to my collar bones and when I unclip one side the other side raises 1-2 inches. It will require two hands to close after nursing. This will fit better if you’re in the middle or upper part of the band size range , and it will be perfect if you don’t need support.
Overall, I guess I’m happy to have found this bra, I’m sure I’ll be wearing it a lot. But, I’m disappointed it’s not more supportive and that it’s so costly. The material is soft but I don’t consider a bra comfortable unless it offers good support. I do like the shape the bra gives me through clothes and this bra is less disappointing than most of the others I’ve tried. I’m curious to try other Cake bras and see if any of them offer support for pregnant and nursing moms, when support is needed most.

Fits incredibly small. I had the rust one for a few months but accidentally forgot to pack bras on a trip to my family so ordered the black one in the same size expecting it to be the same. It fits far too small and be boobs kept falling out. I would return it if I hadn’t had to wear it as an emergency. Very disappointed as I own 3 other cake maternity bras and they are normally perfect size and very comfy.

Two major issues made this bra uncomfortable (I’m 28wks pregnant). One is that the tag is super itchy. The other is that the band is thick and kept bunching up at the top of my belly, which felt uncomfortable and also looked bad under clothes. I ended up going with a cheap 3-pack of nursing bras (by Hofish) and they were way more comfortable. I highly recommend those ones instead even though they don’t look as high-end as this one.

I am a size 40H. I bought the XL busty f-h and it was waaaaay too small. Will be returning.
