It held up well in our Lab tests without shrinking or stretching out. It also comes with removable straps so you can wear it as a traditional bra, halter, criss-cross or one-shoulder style. Plus, it comes in a variety of colors and a wide range of band and cup sizes. In fact, this style was especially loved by people with full figures and larger busts.

Although this bra did stretch out a bit during our stretch recovery test in our Lab, it washed well, staying in nearly perfect condition after five wash cycles. The brand does recommend hand washing for best results. You should fill out the cups without any gaping (which means the cup is too big) or overflow (a sign the cup is too small).

We appreciated its super smooth nylon/polyester fabric. This bra maintained its shape after being stretched in our Lab, acing our stretch recovery tests. Just be sure to hand-wash this bra carefully for best results, as it shrunk a bit when we machine laundered it. Underwire, removable convertible straps, hook-eye closure, light padding, non-slip binding around band It's a traditional bra that's ideal for everyday wear thanks to its foam cups, supportive underwire, adjustable straps and hook-eye closure. It has plenty of coverage throughout, yet remains invisible under most clothing, though a few testers shared that the lace straps were noticeable under some tops. It also comes in a variety of colors — including neutral shades and vibrant hues — and a wide range of cup sizes. The Molke bras aren’t just nursing bras either, they’re actually made for everyone, but have been designed in such a way it means you can move the cup down to access your breast for feeding or pumping. They don't have nursing clips, but the bra is made of stretchy fabric and are super soft. The benefit of not having nursing clips means you can free your boob with one hand for easy nursing! The wired nursing bras in the range use flexiwire to make them more comfortable, but there are plenty of options without underwire for those who don’t want the additional structure.

Making sure a nursing bra is the right fit is important. This may mean being fitted regularly to ensure you’re wearing the right size. Some shops offer this service in their stores, with other brands having online virtual fitting services for their customers. If you’re unsure or cannot get to a fitting, measure yourself at home and use the brand’s online size guide before purchasing. In our Lab, we assess each bra for properties like stretch recovery, construction and how well they hold up to repeated laundering. We also send them out to our consumer testers — hundreds of people ranging from small cup sizes to larger busts— who share their thoughts on fit, comfort, appearance and more.We washed this bra five times in the Lab and noticed minimal changes in appearance, though the brand recommends hand washing this style for best results over time. In our stretch recovery tests, the bottom band of this bra did stretch out a bit. Unlike most bras where you shop by the band and cup size, this one ranges from small to 3X and has a size guide to follow when you buy. It's designed for band sizes 34 through 46 — which is a wider range than most styles, though it only specifies cup sizes B to DD in its size chart. And while it offers great shaping benefits with some built-in padding, it doesn't separate as well as underwire bras.
