Very cumfy but be careful with sizing
I have always been big busted (10DD before nursing up to a 12G now). And also pllayed alot of sport. I hve always worn 2 bras for ecxercise, a sports bra and a tight pull over crop top. This pull over was perfect for what I wanted (as added support to another bra). However I wouldn't use it on it's own (may be ok for smaller busted ladies doing lower impact excersise). The sizing is trickey as I am a G cup the recomended size for me would be XXXL however I have a very small frame and i wanted the bra to be very firm fitting so I went for the L and it fits perfectly! I would recomended to choose more by your shirt size rather then cup size. The drop cups are fabulous for feeding!

Comfortable but lacking support
I agree with other reviews that this is a comfortable bra, however I too had difficulty with picking the correct size. After reading feedback from others I selected a a L, which is a size smaller than recommended for my cup size. Admittedly I am very fussy about feeling well supported and am typically small through the ribs so was certain a XL (my recommended size) would be too large. The L is on the big side and not supportive enough for me for even a brisk walk (I'm wearing a 12D while nursing), so I have been wearing it over my general maternity bra which is a vast improvement. I do recommend this product as it works (in a limited capacity) for me and I feel it is good value but believe the sizing guide needs review.

Looks great, not a 'sports' bra.
I found this bra to provide no support for even light exercise, so thanks to Zodees awesome returns policy have sent it back to try another nursing sports bra. this bra looks great, and is fine for everyday wear, but just doesn't provide the support needed for excercise, especially for my large breasts.

Comfy with moderate support
This is a good bra for those looking to accommodate a variation in cup size, which is great for those pregnant months where you just don't know what size you'll end up being. I've got a Medium which fits quite well around the band, definitly not too tight, and I'm normally a 10. Just wish the cup size was slightly larger as I'm an E/F, and just fit into it at the moment (8months pregnant), so there's little room for further cup increases for me. Fairly easy to pull on and off for a pullover bra, and great modesty a-frame inside the drop cups. Just wish it came in black.

This is a really good sport bra for a breastfeeding mum like me! Very supportive, i could even run on the treadmill with it! I am wearing nursing bras size 14C, so I bought the size L. It fits good. But I wouldn't wear it on a normal basis since it's more tighter than normal nursing bras, which would be less comfy. But for the gym, it is great! Glad i found this...affordable yet does its job! I'm a size 73cm under the breasts, and the elastic band under size L bra measures around 30.5cm when lying down flat and measuring across the front. According to previous review suggestion to buy one or two size more then the suggested, it didn't work for me, it was way too big for me if i get a size XXL!

This is a very comfortable and supportive bra. Good for lower impact sports. I don't think it is firm enough for running however, especially if you are a larger cup size. I am a small person (size 10DD - size 8 or small in tops usually when not breastfeeding) and I did not find that the sizing was accurate at all. I ordered a XXLarge, as per the fitting guidelines, and it did not even touch the sides of my body, I was swimming in it!! I had to re-order a medium, as this was the size I had in other La Leche bras. A medium fit me perfectly. So for those ladies with smaller backs, please beware of comments that these bras are very small, as this was not my experience at all!! I found this bra to be very stretchy around the back / torso.

I'm a 16C normally so I got the XL sizing - it is snug and digs in under my arms, so if you're a bigger size I'd recommend getting two sizes up rather than one size up.

Oops, thought it didn't publish the first time. Anyway, just to give you an idea, the elastic band around the bottom of the size M, when lying flat/unstretched, measures only 56cm around! So it had to stretch a full 20cm in order to fit my chest. So you can imagine how tight it felt! I'm yet to find out the measurements of the larger sizes.

Just got this - fabulous! Good support (not that I need it, as an A or B) and comfy...
BUT - VERY SMALL SIZES!! I'm going to have to exchange my M for a L, as it's very tight-fitting (esp. the elastic around the bottom) and feels constrictive.
So, be warned, order AT LEAST one size up from normal I'd say. Even though it says L is for C cup, I don't reckon I'll have any trouble filling it as it's a 'flat' design. So esp if you do have big breasts, you'd probably want to go 2 sizes up. But other than that, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
