Cake Lingerie Maternity/Nursing Bra Review

I had been searching frantically for a new bra that would fit with this pregnancy.  I didn't have a lot of money to spend but wanted to make sure it was good quality.  I am so glad I stumbled upon Cake Lingerie!  They have a wonderful line of nursing/maternity bras and panty sets so that there is something for everyone!  I have been blessed to review their Mint Toffee Convertible Bra.  I also received the matching panties but unfortunately they did not fit me.

I love that this bra is dual purpose.  It's soft and comfortable enough(plus so darn cute) that you can wear it through your pregnancy and also then use it as a nursing bra!  Sizes B, C, and D come wire free.  I received the 36C size as my normal 34B bras were getting too snug for me this pregnancy.  I think I would prefer it to have an underwire as it would roll on itself at the bottom a bit probably because of all the bending over I do with everyday life as mommy of 8 kiddos!  It was very comfortable though.

The box and ribbon.  So cute and a great creative way to package and keep it all safe.

And yet again more cute packaging with tissue paper.  They really know how to make a girl feel special!

My first glimpse of my new bra.  Loving the colors.  The mint toffee hides well under clothes.

And the gorgeous floral lining makes me feel so beautiful while wearing it, but shh that's our secret.

I love this bra!  Really I do.  I got so tired of the flimsy see through nursing bras.  I refused to wear those while pregnant because if you don't put the nursing pads in them you're not wearing anything it feels like!  I'm not one for going braless in public at all and that is how I feel when I wear a thin bra.  I like having support as well.  I get all of that from this bra plus feel cute!

I love that the bra straps are convertible and you can wear it in different ways.  There have been so many times that I couldn't wear a cute top because my bra straps would show.  Now even if you are breastfeeding you can still wear cute clothes and fix the straps so they don't show.

If you check out the Cake Lingerie website you will see that they classify this as a "t shirt bra" that converts to be "the closest you'll get to a good supportive strapless nursing bra".  I'm not a strapless bra kind of person because I think I lose out on some of the support I need.  I have not tried this bra strapless yet, but I have used some of the convertible strap options to wear it under some of my pretty maternity clothes!

Cake Lingerie was created by Tracey in 2008 out of her own need for comfortable but stylish maternity and nursing lingerie.  I can certainly agree with her that in that time frame there was nothing pretty about nursing bras and definitely nothing fashionable!  I got pregnant with my first little one in 2004 and have to say that my mom had saved her nursing bras from my little brother(born in 1990) and there was NO difference in the ones she had and the ones that I was buying brand new.  I definitely think that she has achieved her goal of stylish, fashionable, but yet comfortable maternity and nursing lingerie for moms.

Make sure to check out the rest of the wonderful items on the Cake Lingerie website and find one that would work perfectly for you.  There is something for everyone!

Undercover Mama Nursing Tank Review

Have you ever felt that you couldn't breastfeed in public because you hate showing off your stomach?  I know I have.  Even if you use a nursing cover up you still are exposing part of your back or stomach.  Well I now have the solution!  Undercover Mama offers a variety of wonderful nursing tanks that hook onto your nursing bra so that you can just unhook the bra like you normally would and feed your baby without showing off your skin.  Keep in mind that you will also be wearing a shirt of some kind over the top that you can lift up so you're not exposing your top half either!

I am in love!  I received the white tank with lace to review.  This tank is $26.99 for purchase on their website.  I love the lace at the end of the tank.  I normally wear my tanks under shirts anyway to have a wonderful modest topline if the normal shirt is too low.  Keeps the modest factor on top too.  Right now they only offer the lace on the white and black tanks.  But they have a large variety of colors that are awesome!  Make sure to go check them out!  I know that when I find a bit of extra money laying around(or for a treat for my birthday) I will have to get the black with lace.  With the white and black I should be set!

Gorgeous and plenty long enough for me.

Loved that the tag shows you how to use the tank!

There are two ways to hook the tank to your nursing bra.

Lace detail.

As far as sizing goes, I was told to go down a size from what you normally wear to get a good fit.  These tops are really stretchy!  I love the stretchyness of them.  I received the xsmall size and normally wear a small.  Even though I am pregnant I can still wear this top as it stretches over my belly!  Love love love the stretch.  I very recently finally fully weaned my youngest(she's 2) so I was even able to use the nursing aspect of the tank.  I loved how easy it was to use.  You can still unhook your bra with one hand so you don't have to put the baby down and arrange everything first.  Very easy and discreet to use in public.

The two lace tanks are $26.99 while the other tanks are $24.99.  Very reasonable price considering the quality and the ease of mind this will provide you.  These have definitely become a must have for my nursing closet.  With this tank any shirt can be a nursing shirt!
