Did anyone ever try these? There was some discussion on them a while back after that Oprah baby shower show and now that I'll be needing nursing bras for another few years I think it's time to get some that are actually shapely and feminine :) Not that the bravados aren't comfy, just that I'm tired of having to chose between bullet-boobs or pancake breasts - the oh-so-lovely shape most nursing bras offer us, and I'm tired of plain white and ugly!
So anyone try them? What did you think?

I've been wanting to get one. They look really nice and I love the colors they offer. The only reason I haven't is because I rarely wear nursing bras anymore. DS doesn't usually nurse while we are out and if he does i just yank down the top of a regular bra. But if I ever have #2 then I will try one. If you do get it please post a review/
I really like Wacoal and Le Mystere nursing bras. They don't give you bullet boobs or pancake breasts! The Wacoal is only availiable in boring colors (white/nude) but the Le Mystere comes in black lace to make it a little more fun. ETA: I bought both bras from Nordstroms.

Thanks Angie! I know what you mean - I stopped wearing nursing bras very much when C was about 16 mos old. Mainly b/c all of mine were shot and I didn't want to buy more! I ordered 2 of the Elle Mac. bras yesterday so they should be here next week. I got one lilac "maternelle" and one black "la mere" (the lacy pretty one). I'll post when I get them. I just hope they'll fit, noth and when baby arrives! The girls have gotten much bigger this time than last ;) FWIW, I googled "figleaves discount coupon" and though most of them were for the UK store, there were also a few coupons for the USA store and I got $20 off a $100 purchase, so I got the 2 - made them more comparable in prie to the Bravado bras.
I'll have to check out La Mystere too. I haven't seen that one.

I got one last month and like it a lot. I think some other bras create a better "shape," but this is definitely better than the Bravado in that regard, and it's by far the prettiest/sexiest bra I have been able to wear with any comfort. Most other bras drive me batty with itching from the stitching on the inside cups. The Elle bra has it, too, but it is smoother than some and bothers me less. I think you will like it.

figleaves does have a US store. At the top of the UK site there should be a little american flag that you click on to go to the US store - upper right corner or thereabouts.
Here's a link to the place I got the coupon (I can't link the coupon directly since I alreadt used it) expires 1/31/05
