I outgrew all my sports bras in the first two months of pregnancy, and my boobs haven't stopped growing. (Pregnancy is a wild ride.)
I love tht adjustability of this bra. It started our pretty full coverage back in the 36D days, and I've been able to give myself a little more room as I've grown. Still comfy and perfect, with more room to spare.
That said, it's just not a high impact level of support. I might have run in it in my pre pregnancy 34B days, but this just doesn't have the running/box jumping support you'd want (to be clear, I'm doing neither at this point in my pregnancy. Make me a high impact belly bra, and we'll talk...) Right now I'm hiking, stair climbing, walking, and weight lifting, and it's great for all of that.
If you're looking for more support, I'd go with the Chloé; I got that one too, hoping for medium support, but that one really straps 'em in there and locks 'em down.

While the bra is made of comfortable and soft fabric I would not classify it as a high impact bra. It is fine for lower impact and comfortable enough to wear for long periods of time but it does not have the support I was hoping for.

These are the best nursing sports bras by far! Have yet to try the pumping version but I have been wearing this one nonstop, working out or not. I would love one with even more support or adjustable bands for big chests.

I bought this bra about 3 1/2 years ago. I wore it to absolute rags. I wore every day even when I wasn’t pregnant or breast-feeding. I’ve had three kids in 3 1/2 years and now I finally had to order a new one because the straps snapped. These are amazing Bras. I have no complaints!
Hi there,
Wow—thank you so much for sharing this! We're incredibly honored to have been part of your journey through three kids in just a few years. It means the world to us that our bra served you so well for so long (even beyond pregnancy and breastfeeding!). We're so glad you came back for a new one, and we hope it’s just as comfy and reliable as your first. Thank you again for your support—it truly means everything to us!

I really like this bra. So far the best nursing sports bra I’ve tried and will be ordering more! I would love a few improvements and then would wear these daily—adjustable straps would be amazing for more support, and a way to minimize the separation that sometimes happens between the layers.
Hi there,
Thank you so much for your kind words—we’re thrilled to hear this is the best nursing sports bra you’ve tried and that you’re planning to order more! Just in case you missed it, the Venice High Impact Nursing Sports Bra does come with adjustable straps, so you can customize the fit for extra support. We’ve also noted your feedback on the layer separation and will definitely pass it along to our product team. Thanks again for helping us improve!

According to size guide I should fit XXL while it kind if fits my breast over flow out the side and bunch up in the middle. I normally wear a 40 DDD bra. Its hard to breastfeed in this bra because of the fit. However material is nice and i do wear it to work out or walk because it is more supportive than a regular no support cotton bra.
Hi there,
Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re sorry to hear that the fit wasn’t quite right for you, especially for breastfeeding. We truly appreciate your insights, and we're glad to hear you’re still finding it supportive for workouts and walks.

Material seems high quality and love that the pads stay in place well. Gives great support, way better than my other nursing bras. My only complaint is that it can be difficult to put on. You have to pull in on like a shirt and it’s tight. The clasp back doesn’t really help that much because it still crosses in the back. But overall I love how much support this bra provides and the look of it.
Hi there,
Thank you for your feedback! We're so glad you love the quality, support, and look of the bra—it means a lot to us. We appreciate your input about its fit and clasp design and will share it with our team for future improvements. Your trust in our brand is greatly valued!

I wish I read the reviews prior to purchasing; I was all in when I saw the words “sewn In cups.” I love that feature of this bra; however like other reviewers stated, there’s a connector hook on the strap that easily comes undone which is not ideal during strenuous exercise. This bra deserves a redesign that has straps without the connector hooks.
Please make more bras with sewn in cups! I hate the removable ones.
Hi there,
Thank you so much for your feedback! We're glad to hear you love the sewn-in cups, and we totally understand your concern about the strap connector. We’ll be sure to pass this along to our design team—your input truly helps us improve.

The nursing bra looks nice and is supportive when working out, but after a couple of wears, the seam where you can take the removable cup in and out has torn. I was expecting a higher quality/ more robust product given the premium pricing. When washing, I put it in a laundry net and wash on a delicate cold wash cycle, so don't think I have mishandled the care for the bra either.
Hello there,
Thank you so much for sharing your feedback. I’m really sorry to hear about the issue with the seam tearing after just a few wears—especially since you’ve been following the care instructions. That’s not the experience we want you to have, and I completely understand your concern given the premium pricing.
To help us look into this further and make things right, could you please send us an email with a photo of the damage? You can reply directly to this message or email us at hello@sweatandmilk.com.

After trying several nursing and pumping bras I’ve finally found the brand for me. I bought my first bra because I was ready to workout again but wanted to be able to nurse and pump before or after my workout without changing. These bras have now become my daily bra. They are so comfortable, cute, and functional. With a larger chest, the normal pumping bras did not work for me comfort and fit wise. It feels like these bras were made for me!

Thank you so much for sharing this—we’re absolutely thrilled to hear you’ve found the bra that works for you!

There are a lot of things to love about this bra. The material is super soft and buttery and the adjustable band is great. The strappy back is pretty. I personally found the XS that was recommended for my size a bit small. It has great support for running, but I don’t want to hang out in it because the straps, which aren’t adjustable, feel a bit tight on my shoulders. I also am not a fan of removable padding - I find it a pain to adjust each time I put it on and after each nursing session. I would have exchanged for a Small or a different style, but I got frustrated that I each time I exchanged I had to pay $9 for shipping and I had already exchanged once. Originally, I bought the Venice bra but found it a bit bulky for me since I plan to wear it under a shirt.
Hi there,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a thoughtful review — we truly appreciate your feedback!
We’re glad to hear that you love the soft, buttery fabric, the adjustable band, and the support the bra offers for running. It's also great to know the strappy back design caught your eye!
I did take a look at your previous return, and I just wanted to clarify that there was no restocking fee applied — your return was processed as store credit, for which we don’t charge a fee. The 20% discount was simply deducted from the original order total, which is why the refund amount may have seemed lower.
As for the Chloe 3 in Dusty Rose, thank you again for reviewing it! Since it's a sale item, it's not eligible for exchange, but it can still be returned for store credit if needed.
We understand how tricky it can be to find the perfect fit, especially when it comes to bras, and your feedback about the sizing and padding is incredibly helpful. I’ll be sure to pass this along to our product team as we continue to improve our designs.
If you have any questions or need help finding a better-fitting style, feel free to reach out — we’re always happy to help!

I purchased this one and the Chloe 3 thinking that I would like this one more since the straps are adjustable, but I was surprised my preference turned out to the be the opposite. I don’t find the Venice to be very supportive, especially with my increased pregnancy breasts. Also, the clip constantly comes undone. I wish I could return it and get another Chloe.
Hi there,
Thank you for your feedback! We’re sorry to hear the Venice bra didn’t provide the support you were hoping for. While we don’t offer exchanges for a different style, if the item is unworn and unwashed, we’d be happy to assist with a return for store credit. We’re glad the Chloe 3 is working better for you, and we appreciate you sharing your experience!
Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns!

This bra offers great support for high intensity workouts so for that it should get 5 star.
I gave it three because it’s advertised to be more than just a high impact bra but nursing and pumping bra. I would not try to nurse a child with this bra in public. I like to credit myself as a stealthy nursing mom but this bra you have to unzip and unclip. Not stealthy.
Pumping. Can’t fit wearable pumps with it zipped. Unzipped, yes you can.
Overall this bra works for a mom using traditional weird pumps. Or a mom nursing at home.
Hi there,

I liked this bra but returned it to get a nursing/pumping bra. I wished I’d kept it because I think it would’ve been better for wearable pumps.
The fit was great and felt good when I tried it on.

Love this bra for everyday use. I use wearable pumps (Elvie), nurse my son, and use traditional wired pumps all in one day without having to change bras. I do a lot of walk and chasing around my toddler and feel rather supported. Would highly recommend to try this type first (wish I’d bought more).
Hi there,

Over all I do really like this bra! The design in the back is super cute! It is a little snugger in the shoulder and neck compared to another bra I purchased in the same order and it’s due to the fact that you can’t adjust the straps at all. The other thing I don’t love is the size of the pad insert and that it slides around a lot. I’ve had to frequently adjust the pad insert because I had the outline of my nipple showing. But overall it is better than store bought sports bra’s and I’m able to do my HIIT workouts with minimal struggles from my busty chest. Still not perfect for cardio workouts but still helps. Plus I can nurse my kiddo before, during, or after a workout!

Over all I really like the bra, it has several ways to adjust the straps which is nice. My only issues is the pad insert. It’s very small and especially with me ordering an XL I would have thought there would be a little more coverage there. The insert frequently slides around and if I’m not careful people can see my nipple outline showing because the pad slid over. And it is not as high impact as I had hoped it would be. I like to do HIIT work outs and the “girls” still move a lot and make it hard to do Cardio. But great for any other workout. Otherwise I really like the bra!
Hi there,
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear you like the bra and the adjustable straps. We understand your concerns about the pad insert and high-impact support. We'll take your comments into account for future improvements. In the meantime, adjusting or removing the pad might help with the shifting.

Pregnancy took me from a 34B to a 34E, and I couldn't find a sports bra. This fits perfectly in a medium!! I'm on the snuggest hook, and don't have much extra room for a wearable pump, but it would be close. It's supportive and comfy. Finally something I could run in!!
Hi there,
Thank you so much for sharing this! We’re so glad you finally found a supportive and comfy bra that fits—especially for running after such a big size change.

I LOVED this bra, especially with the sewn in pads. The biggest drawback is that the hooks are not strong enough to support the straps and my hook broke in half after wearing for a few weeks.

Comfortable sports bra that fits well all day. I love that I can put on ONE bra to pump, work out, do errands, nurse, and do whatever else I need to achieve before I have time to actually take a shower. #momlife The criss-cross straps in the back ride up a little, but it's easy enough to adjust by tugging back down between my shoulder blades. I WISH I HAD THIS BRA WITH MY FIRST CHILD.
I've tried 4 other styles from Sweat and Milk and the Venice by far is my favorite. SO comfortable, so cute, washes super well. I can wear it all day and be comfortable. As a very busty gal (I range somewhere between a DD and H depending on the brand), I would not call this high impact for me, but a very solid medium impact bra. Its great for walking, hiking, lifting and light plyos, and everyday wear running around after kids.
The hoodie is comfortable and oversized just right. Zippers are functional while nursing.
Inside pocket fabric/lining is too thin which makes it hang lower than the bottom of the hoodie when anything is placed inside like a phone or keys. Super uncomfortable and ill fitting.
