In my last post about nursing bras I talked about some brands I wanted to try and last week I got the opportunity to personally try on Cake Lingerie. Other then Target nursing bras (which by the way DON’T work for larger breasted gals like myself) Cake Lingerie have been the first nursing bra’s I have tried.

Bra sizes vary from brand to brand, and even within a brand from bra to bra.
