The Dairy Fairy Ayla: Underwire Nursing and Hands-Free Pumping Bra, X-Small / 1, Black

This is the best pumping and nursing bra hands down! It fits great (sizing is different than normal so you may need to try two). it is also really nice looking which matters when you are trying to feel your best. It makes pumping a little less of a hassle and it still folds down nicely for nursing. It dose show a bit of a ridge under clothing but is just fine as long as you don’t wear a skin tight teeshirt.

I wanted to love this beautiful bra, but it came with a twisted strap, that can't untwist, it's just on wrong. The underwires also cut into my chest below the breasts. It's really uncomfortable, sadly... Also, you can't slip pump flanges into the little slits to make it hands-free; you have to put them in and out through the... sort of tube end of the breast shield, if that makes sense. Point being, it's a step less convenient for pumping than most hands-free pumping bras. I would gladly accept that trade-off if it were bearably comfortable though, and didn't have that odd defect.

--Pros-- *Probably the prettiest nursing bra out there. *Great design idea, very convenient for hands-free pumping and nursing. *6 eyelet band settings instead of the normal 3, so I can wear it right after giving birth, and after I loose all the pregnancy weight. --Cons-- *A bit scratchy (great for work and going out, but not for lounging at home or sleep) *Sizing was confusing. I am a 34 D so I should have size 3 or 4 per the chart. But I tried size 3 but decided to get size 2 because it holds the flanges better. *Wide underwire. After I went from size 3 to size 2, I had originally thought that it was still too big, because while the cup fits fine, the underwire was so far apart. But then I read some other reviews saying you don't want the underwire to cut into the breast as that may affect milk production, so maybe it was designed to be sit on the very outer edge, hence very far apart. So I decided to keep size 2. But the underwire is really not that comfortable because of the location as I can feel it on my bones. *Seam on the opening is a bit thick, shows through on thin blouses. *Does not enhance your breast shape since the underwire is so far apart, and the bra has no padding at all. *Under bust lace rolls up, always. --Conclusion— Even with all the cons, this bra is my go-to for work and going out (makes pumping in the car in desperate times easy and discrete). I switch out of it soon as I get home though. Not sure how it holds up after washing, will update later. --Tips-- Wear a slightly thick cami to hide the seams under thin blouse Wear a nursing pad so that the material and the opening seam doesn’t rub on skin (and sore nipples) Size down for snug fit of the flanges

I love these! They are so pretty and they feel great. I immediately tried these on and they feel great. I love the lace and how silky these are. I am a 36 or 38 DDD and got the size 5. They fit great and the lace conforms nicely. The opening for pumping are great. I can see them coming open a little and the nipple trying to escape, but with breast pads it's no big deal at all. I love that they also have the nursing clips so these are definitely double duty. I love that the underwire doesn't come all the way up the middle of the breasts, that makes these incredibly comfortable, almost like wearing a pretty sports bra. Plus all of the extra eyes for the band are going to be incredibly useful as baby weight comes off and my band needs to get smaller. My only complaint is that I wish they would have reinforced the lace on the band. With wash and wear the lace is going to break, just a matter of when. But with decent care, they should be fine. I'm excited to wear these! Update*** After wearing these a few times I want to say that I wish I would have gotten the bigger size. According to the chart and my actual size right now, these fit great! But when I get engorged, I kind of fall out. I wish also that the straps were longer but with them extended all the way down iI still works. Still love them and will order more, but in the bigger size. Update: After a full TWELVE months of daily wear and 5x day a week pumping, they held up decently. The lace did stretch out quite a bit causing the band to loosen alot and the pump opening to be tight. With the lace stretching the top of the cups would fall down too. Thus creating a really weird look under any shirt. So, if you plan on daily wear, get one of these for your "pretty" days, but I highly recommend avoiding the full lace.
