MAMA RAVE- Bella Materna Luxury Maternity Lingerie and Nursing Bras Review and Giveaway

Thursday, July 8, 2010



Bella Materna combines fashion and function to show off the most beautiful time in a woman's life. They strongly believe that pregnancy and nursing make women more beautiful, and that what they wear should enhance this beauty not cover it up. Their sophisticated and beautiful crafted maternity lingerie and nursing bras do just that. I never thought you could feel sexy or empowered in a nursing bra....until now.

Bella Materna products are all made with Italian Lycra/Nylon and French lace and all their products are made right here in the U.S.A. The idea of such materials on a nursing bra is so exciting! Here I was thinking, nursing bras were all frumpy and lacked any kind of sexy woman feeling. I was happy to review their Underwire Anytime Bra and knew that it would get great use! I have tried out many nursing bras, as I have been nursing for about 4 years straight. Gone are the days of frumpy, floppy, unsupportive bras in a tacky white cotton material. Sexy mama coming through!!


The Underwire Anytime Nursing Bra allows me to pull the cup aside for one handed nursing access. Definitely a must have with three children! Made from Nylon and Lycra, this soft bra is a great bra to sleep in or to wear throughout the day. Featuring patented flexy wires, this underwire bra does not block milk ducts like other traditional underwire bras. No need to stay away from underwire bras because of a fear of Mastitis( Please note: there are other factors causing this). Flexible, yet supportive enough for busty moms. The Underwire Anytime bra has no padding- just natural smoothness.



My favorite feature.....This bra converts to a racer back while still on! The adjustable straps have a hook to simply link the straps together making the racer back style! The Underwire Anytime Bra with the racer back is not only perfect for a day with baby, but also great for a night out with the girls! The racer style brings the front in more(yes, cleavage), and provides a tighter fit than wearing normally. I prefer a very tight fit, but it can be slightly difficult to nurse in the racer back style. Good thing the bra unhooks out of racer back style with one hand!

Bella Materna also carries other anytime nursing pieces featuring pull to the side nursing access. You can purchase an Anytime Nursing gown, Anytime Nursing Camisole or an Underwire Free Nursing bra. All made from silky Nylon, to provide a soft smooth look for the ever changing mom. Nursing is one of those things that makes me glow on the inside, and now I feel like I am glowing on the outside as well!

BUY IT- You can buy the Anytime Underwire Nursing Bra for $68.00 in Black or Rose.

WIN IT- One Lucky mama will win an Anytime Underwire Nursing Bra from Bella Materna.

That is stunning! I'm so sick of the unsupportive cotton pieces of material I've called 'bras' for the past 18 months. :)

Ami said...

I also love the "Anytime Nursing Camisole" and the "Nursing Clip Tunic."

I am in desperate need of a new nursing bra! With my 16 month old still going strong and another little one on the way my bras look pretty horrible.

I LOVE the conversion to racerback feature!

I like how it makes you super skinny! Oh wait, that's just the photos. Come on now, I've never seen a Mommy with a newborn and such a flat stomach!!

:)

But I like that you can make it a racer back bra. I always need racer back bras, just never buy one. It would be perfect for all those tank tops I have to wear in the hot hot hot summer sun.
