This bra has a reputation for being a comfortable bra that has good support for many different cup sizes, and is supposed to be a good sleep bra. The clip is described as being easy to use, and the fabric is supposed to be nice and stretchy. But I want to tell you why I won’t be getting it – despite all those great features.

First, I think it’s ugly. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and it is nighttime wear, but I like flattering stuff. I do have a husband in my bed, after all, and I like clothes that I’m not embarrassed to be seen in. Finally, what if this bra was the only comfy, clean bra in my drawer, and I needed to dress for town or something? I’d rather have a bra I’d be proud to wear, with a nice v-line.

Second, I hate clips for my sleep bra. Really! Who wants to mess with even the easiest clip at 3 am? Count me out. I read one review where the purchaser actually had a clip that shattered, which just reinforces my anti-clip bias. Now, in fairness to the manufacturer Medela, I am sure that bra had a rare defect. That bra has gotten tons of good reviews, so I am sure clips aren’t shattering left and right.

So that’s why I’m not buying one. Maybe it will work for you.

The reviews on the Medela Sleep Nursing Bra sound so good that I want one to try out ASAP. What appeals to me about this bra is that it has no clasps to mess with, a sturdy sport-bra-style back, and it’s thin, soft and stretchy.

If I’m going to sleep in a bra (and I’ve never found one I could love to wear at night before), I don’t want to be hooking and unhooking stupid doo-dads. And night is the most important time of day to nurse, between the hours of 1 and 5 in the morning. I just want to pull my shirt or bra aside, flop out a breast and be done with it.

Plus, I don’t like going without support at night, because my boobs just flop all over the place and it gets uncomfortable. Some people claim a night bra helps keep breasts from sagging. I don’t know about that, but as far as comfort goes, a soft supportive bra would make sleep a lot more pleasant. Plus, something to hold them in place makes it easier to latch a baby on. Seriously. I’ve had a baby throw a fit over a boob that kept slipping away. You wouldn’t have wanted to be a sleepy fly on the wall for one of those nights!

And if it’s as comfortable as it sounds, I might want it for more than just bedtime.

But I’d have to say that I wouldn’t put it in the dryer because it is 5% spandex, and spandex doesn’t hold up well under all that heat. I also wouldn’t want to wear it during the day if I had very large breasts. Lucky for me, mine are small – most of the time. Floppy, but small.

This camisole looks so nice. I’d love to wear something like this around the house. It’s good for breastfeeding and hiding that postpartum mommy tummy that many of us haven’t gotten used to. I’ve never had a camisole before, but this does look tempting. I bet it would be nice for bed. I could be wrong, because I’ve never tried it, but that may change (hint to the husband).

I also like the look of the material. It’s seems breathable and light, so it would be good for a heat wave, like we’re having now where I live. Trouble is, I haven’t seen any formal reviews, so I don’t know about the quality. I’ll probably risk getting one because it’s made by Medela, and I’ve been satisfied with their products up to now. Maybe I’ll write a review after I get a camisole of my own. Until then, please let me know in the comments if you have this camisole and how’s it’s worked for you.
