Maeve Run Times Sewn In Cups Nursing & Pumping Sports Bra (Noir)

The bra is comfy but not as supportive as I hoped given the name implies it’s meant for running. You can remove the bra straps from the main band to wear straight or cross cross, but that clasp is very loose and the strap fall off the band all the time.

For a workout bra that is supposed to be high endurance and advertisements stating quality bras…I am very disappointed in the quality of straps. I should have read the reviews because I have the same issues. The clutch keeps stretching open making the strap fall out in the middle of my workouts.
The only thing making me give a three star instead of one is the color of the bra and the fabric quality. I LOVE the color and feel of the bra. Which makes it more disappointing.

I wanted these to work SO badly. It's incredibly hard to find a fixed pad pumping sports bra that fits me and this one fit. It works GREAT for pumping. It's comfortable, it doesn't squeeze me in weird places making weird shapes. The only issues I had were with the seam near one of the clasps being really sharp to the point that it cuts into me. I was sent a replacement and it had the same issue. The other two colors I have do not have this issue, however, the bra strap clasp was bending and ended up breaking on both of them after 1 wear. I am still heart broken over this. I have yet to find another bra that is as comfortable and functional as these, but unfortunately I have had to toss all of them for these issues. The company was super helpful and offered replacements but I don't foresee the replacements being any better, so I was given a refund. If there is ever any evidence that the quality has improved, I would absolutely purchase these again. They have the potential to be the best pumping bra out there.

I will preface this review with the fact that I probably picked the wrong size bra so it doesn’t quite fit me right.

I really wanted to love this bra! I had been searching for a pumping bra with fixed padding and this was one of the only ones I could find! I do like that feature and the slots for the pump flanges are great and hold the pump in place firmly! The materials seem quality overall as well!

My issues more so came with the comfortability of the bra. The seams of the straps and the tag placement were kind of pokey/itchy! Also the pumping layer that holds the flange seemed bigger than the outer layer, so when I had both layers clipped in, the strap bunches a little bit. I also didn’t love that the strap that holds the clips is only a single strap. Many pumping bras have an extended piece of fabric attached to make that strap piece more supportive.

I like this bra in theory, but didn’t love how it felt. I wish I would have returned mine for a different size before wearing it and trying it out. It’s too expensive to justify trying another one.

Edit: Sweat & Milk asked for pictures, so I uploaded some pictures of what I found to be uncomfortable. The tag was right on the side of the bra and was constantly itching me so I cut it off. It was still a little itchy after cutting it but not too bad. Would love if this could be a printed tag directly on the clothing rather than a paper tag.

Also the seams where the strap connects to the two different layers I found to be scratchy. I have circled the two spots just below the clasps. Perhaps the edging of the straps needs to be made of a softer material?

Finally, the strap that is in the inside of the bra, is often in other brands (like Auden or Kindred Bravely) connected to additional fabric and feels more supportive/comfortable. I would love if this were the case for this bra as well. Otherwise with just the single strap and no additional fabric, I feel like that strap moves around and gets more bunched up than if it had extra soft material connected to it.

Hope these images and feedback are helpful!

Would love to try this bra again in a different size &/or if these updates were made as I do love the concept of the fixed padding!

The bra overall is great but I wore this bra one time and the clasp bent and will not hold my strap on. I’m upset spending this much on a bra only to wear it one time.
