I'd say this is a three and a half star bra, but put it on four because I purchased this two days ago for twenty dollars. I am a 40F, and finding a twenty dollar nursing bra that isn't absolute garbage is a near impossibility. I see the pricing has gone up to $60 today for some sizes, so if that's you- maybe wait around until kinder sellers have your size back in stock!I always re check my measurements prior to purchasing new bras, and have been a 40F since my milk regulated after four months when my daughter was born. I'm currently six months pregnant now, but desperately needed new bras, so I'm praying these darn things don't jump up any more cup sizes.The fit was exactly as expected. Cup size is spot on, and the same as my other 40F Cake nursing bra along with my 40F bras from Le Mystere, Anita, Hot Milk, and Elomi. Not sure why some women were having size issues with this bra, and am wondering if they were sent incorrect sizes.I have no spillage, and the band fits perfectly. I appreciate Cake for having several extra rows of hooks on the band instead of the standard three rows. It's nice to have more options during nursing.(For you brand new Mamas out there, and Mamas to be, it's a really good idea to purchase bra extenders prior to your nursing adventure! Get the three hook style, and remember that some hooks are spaced 1/2 inch and some are 3/4 inch, so have both on hand.I have WingsLove Lady's Bra Extender 3 hook 3/4 inch, and I also have CoCo's Closet Bra Extender Narrow 3 hook extenders which are 1/2 inch. Some nursing bras have four hooks, but the three works fine anyway.)This bra doesn't give my ample chest quite the same great shaping and superior lift as my favorite two nursing bras: Le Mystere Women's Sexy Mama Nursing Bra and Anita's Maternity Fleur Underwired Lace Nursing Bra (use a soft cup with this one to get rid of the pointy boob issue), but I'm still fairly happy with my purchase. It gets the job done, and isn't utterly underwhelming and overpriced like some nursing bras (ahem, Bravado)I really love that the bra is in a color that isn't black, white or nude. Yay for orange! It wouldn't be my first color pick, but it's great to have a little variety. I would swoon over a purple or teal nursing bra (provided that it didn't suck) at this point.Another note for new Mamas- when your milk comes in your boob size will be all over the place. Don't buy expensive fitted nursing bras until your milk regulates. (Took me a little over four months). People are going to recommend Bravado bras, but I hated those things. Kindred Bravely bras are essentially the same, only with a bit more support, a bit less uni boob, better sizing, and they cost twenty dollars less a piece.
