A couple of months ago, my friends at The Dairy Fairy sent me this little number.
It’s a combo nursing/pump bra, because apparently that’s a THING and I never knew it.
You see, I’ve been pumping for 20+ months and it never occurred to me that a nursing bra could be functional, pretty, and incredibly comfortable. I tried several brands from several stores. The options were:
- Pretty, but uncomfortable.
- Pretty, comfortable, but the ladies sagged to my belly button.
- Supportive, but had an underwire and gave me instant mastitis.
- Ugly, but comfy.
- Mostly functional, but a little uncomfortable and I had to pull out my hands-free zip-up bra to put over the bra while trying to keep my shirt up and not zip it into the pump bra.
- Nursing tank tops. Which I lived in for almost two years.
When I first tried on the Arden bra, I was really surprised. It was fantastically soft. It didn’t have those awful side reinforcements or underwires or anything jabby. I adjusted the straps and the front panels. I was supported. My boobs were in a normal place on my chest. I had the right kind of cleavage.
I put it to the true test, though, and pulled out my pump. The breast shields fit easily and snugly into the bra. They stayed in place for the full 20 minutes of milk extraction. Then I played around, making sure it would be easy to use for nursing. It was simple and fuss-free.
I haven’t worn a nursing tank top in two months, except on laundry day.
I love this bra so much that I want to share it with you.
I asked The Dairy Fairy if she would throw in a pair of undies from their brand new line made out of the same material as the bra, and she granted that wish. When was the the last time you had a legit matching bra and panty set? Yeah, it’s been a while for me, too. The Aria panties are made with the same quality and material as the Arden bra.
So, here’s how you WIN the Arden All-In-One Bra with matching Aria Panty. Enter using the rafflecopter widget below. Enter and share with your friends and I will choose the winner on Sunday, February 22. I will announce the winner here and on FaceBook on Sunday evening. Good luck!

how awesome!! that would be a wonderful set to win!
I love that this is a hands-free pumping bra AND a nursing bra in one!
I love that the bar is adjustable!
Comfy, pretty and functional?! I wasn’t convinced that existed either! Looks adorable and perfect.
I’m dying to try this!!!
I love that the cup is adjustable! All of my nursing bras’ cups are too small on one side and a bit too big on the other since I’m not evenly sized!
It seems like it would be really comfortable for when milk is first coming in. I love my underwire nursing bras but I got them after my milk first came in. This seems like a good option for when it’s first coming in. I wonder if it is supportive for gigantor boobs? I’m a G/H/J when I nurse so it would be awesome if this was supportive enough for that.
I’m a DD without milk, and I’ve had great results.
I love that you dint gave to put on a different bra for pumping! So awesome!
I love this! So cute for EPers!
I like that the cups are adjustable!
I might actually feel dare I say….sexy in this, 1 month postpartum! Plus super functional! Mommy, daddy & baby boy would love it
One of the girls is a tad bigger than the other so the adjustable cups would be a great option!
I have been eyeing these up… I love the side to side adjustability! Someone knows how it goes
This looks amazing! I love the fact that I could nurse and pump and also feel sexy while not doing either!
I like that it does have that weird strap in front of your boob. my daughter does not appreciate those . Lol
I love the idea of a nursing bra that’s supportive, pretty, and not stabby!
I didn’t even know that there was a hands-free pumping bra out there besides the generic white or black one that you see in all the baby stores! I love that this one is actually pretty and can bring some sexy back when you might not really be feeling it! Also love that it does double duty, both nursing and pumping! Would love to try it!!
this would be so great for work!!!
I love that you can nurse on one side and pump on the other, and you dont have to get out a whole different bra to pump hands free.
Um, SO cool! I want one!
I love that I can pump hands free and that it looks so cute! I really need some cute bras to make me feel good post partum. My belly is wrecked in my view…I need cute!
I like that it is sexy !
It will look fab on you, Jason. I hope you win!
I’ve been wanting to try this bra for a while and feel it’s a necessity for going back to work in a month or so.
It’s a definite must for returning to work!
I would love to win! I am definitely in need with baby #2 on the way!
I would def love to try this! Something to support the ladies is hard to find…
I love that it’s both for nursing & pumping! When I have to pump on the go I don’t want to have to bring extra bras with me!!! And a normal hands free pumping “bra” is not very supportive if you’re large chested!
I would LOVE to win this. It would make pumping for my 7mo a dream!
The fit looks perfect for a larger breasted mom.
I have been nursing and pumping for 23 months and have never tried a pumping bra! It looks lovely.
I love the Dairy Fairy line. Nursing lingerie that really IS lingerie- delicate and pretty as well as totally functional. I may be a mom, but darn it, I want to feel like a pretty one!
I would LOVE this! Just started pumping at work and it’s such a pain. Plus the nursing bras I like aren’t cute at all!
I love that I can pump and nurse at the same time! The fact that it’s a pretty matching set is icing on the cake!
Beautiful and functional!
This looks like an awesome product
I love that the cups are adjustable. My boobs change sizes throughout the day as I nurse my little one.
I love that it’s bra doesn’t need anything extra to pump at work!
Would love to win this. It’s so pretty
This would be a great thing to have… my last one only nursed one side per feed so this would have for sure been a time/life saver
That is so clever! A nursing bra that let you pump! Genius!!!!
Beauty and function! And no underwire. Yay!
