Pros

  • Stylish, supportive, drop cups are easy to undo - even for a beginner

Cons

  • Too high for low-cut tops

A stylish, sexy nursing bra that gives you enough support and comfort is hard to find. But the Royce 'Lauren' design combines a stylish pinstripe pattern with the ability to keep your breasts where they should be all day.

The Lauren Nursing Bra by Royce has drop cups that make breastfeeding easy and convenient, and it's available in a good range of sizes - 30D to 38H. Its cream and black pinstripe design means it's all glamour on the outside, but a layer of soft yet tough inner fabric gives extra support and shape, without underwire.

Royce Lauren Nursing Bra straps are wide and adjustable and although the washing instructions are hand wash only, this pushed-for-time new mum threw it in the washing machine and it didn't come off any worse!

What we love

If you're going to flash your bra while feeding in public, this is one you won't be ashamed of. The Royce Lauren Nursing Bra has a 'normal' rather than 'nursing' feel to it, and there are matching pants available too. You hardly notice the supportive layer of lining, and with a satin and lace finish, the outer layer of fabric feels great.

When it comes to feeding time, the drop cups can be unhooked and done up again with no faffing at all. Very important when a noisy, hungry baby is making even the simplest of tasks just about impossible!) And the clasps feel substantial - I've been wearing this bra for a couple of months and I haven't had any embarrassing 'undoing itself' incidents as I have with some other styles.

Support-wise, the Royce Lauren Nursing Bra is great. At size 30G, I didn't think it was possible to find a fashionable bra that would actually give me the oomph I needed, but this one certainly does. It passes the tight T-shirt test, looking smooth, shapely and supportive.

What to watch out for

The Royce Lauren Nursing Bra comes up quite high at the front, so if you're a fan of plunging necklines you may find it's visible. Then again, with its cleavage-enhancing properties and pretty design it's no huge disaster if it does show.

Who is the Royce Lauren Nursing Bra best for?

Breastfeeding mums who don't want to sacrifice glamour for comfort.
