Bravado! Designs was founded 20 years ago by two young nursing mothers who recognised the gap in the market for stylish and comfortable nursing bras. Bravado understands the needs of a nursing mom and test all of their bras on real pregnant and nursing moms. The company has built an excellent reputation amongst healthcare professionals such as doctors, lactation consultants and midwives for their high quality, innovative line of products. The Bravado website is very well designed and is packed with educational resources for nursing moms.
In April of 2011, Medela acquired Bravado Designs.
Medela provides the most technologically advanced, superior-quality breastpumps and breastfeeding accessories to nursing mothers around the world. A longtime champion of breastfeeding, Medela is the only company to develop products based on research by the world’s leading lactation experts. As a result, Medela’s breastpumps are the number one choice of healthcare professionals and healthcare facilities worldwide. Medela has developed an extensive line of products to meet the diverse needs of nursing mothers. These products include hospital-grade, double and single electric and manual breastpumps; breastfeeding accessories such as pump cleaning products, breast care products and specialty feeding devices; and maternity and nursing intimate apparel. Founded in 1961 by Olle Larsson in Zug, Switzerland, Medela continues to grow under the ownership of the Larsson family. Medela serves customers through a worldwide network of distribution partners in more than 90 countries and through its 15 subsidiaries in Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany (and Austria), Italy, Japan, Netherlands (and Belgium), Poland, Russia, Spain, Sweden (Denmark & Norway), Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States.

This dynamic duo compliment each other perfectly and we are excited to see what the future has in store.
In honor of Mother’s Day 2012, we will be highlighting 2 styles from Bravado! Designs:
The Essential Nursing Tank Seasonal Color - Tiger Lily
The Essential Nursing Tank Seasonal Color - Jade
What sets The Essential Nursing Tank apart from other nursing tanks on the market is its brilliant design.
Bravado Designs: “We designed a full-support built in bra first, and then put a great nursing and maternity tank around it.”
This is why the Nursing Tank can beautifully support up to a G cup and is unlike any other Nursing Tank on the market.
Full Support Built in Bra
The workmanship and quality of the Essential Nursing Tank is top notch and you can be assured that it will last wash after wash.
The high quality clips are easy to unclip and clip with just one hand – an essential feature. The cups are expertly designed to drop down and away from your body to give baby full access to your breast. This will provide you and your baby with skin-to-skin contact which is very important when establishing a breastfeeding rhythm. First time nursing moms will also appreciate this design which will make it easier for mom to assist baby in latching on.
Discreet Nursing Clips: allow full breastfeeding access and only you will know this is a nursing tank.
The Essential Nursing Tank can be worn during pregnancy as the fabric gently stretches while retaining its shape after washing. The Tank has a flattering cut making it ideal for the post partum period with the longer length having a slimming effect. This adds great value to the tank ensuring that you will get plenty of wear out of it during both the pregnancy and nursing period.
The Essential Nursing Tank can be worn during pregnancy
Moms tells us that they love their tank so much that they continue to wear it well after they are done nursing their kids because it is so supportive, especially for those with larger busts.
The cotton/spandex fabric is soft and feels luxurious against the skin. The Essential Nursing Tank is so versatile that we consider it a “must have” in your nursing wardrobe. From sleepwear to loungewear, from running errands to play dates, this Tank is perfect. In the warmer months, simply pair the tank with shorts, a skirt or jeans and you are all set. For the cooler months, simply add a cardigan or jacket and you are good to go. The variety of colors available will ensure that you can coordinate with your existing wardrobe. The Essential Nursing Tank is also available in Curvalicious Sizing and we applaud Bravado! Designs for covering a full range of both band and cup sizes.
The Sublime Nursing Bra is proof that a nursing bra can be both sexy and functional! This gorgeous bra is sure to boost mom’s self-esteem and make her feel beautiful and confident.
The Sublime Nursing Bra
Moms with larger cup sizes who usually have a difficult time finding a nursing bra will rejoice in the fact that the Sublime Nursing bra accommodates up to a J/K cup! This bra supports beautifully without the need for an underwire. Finding a sexy nursing bra in a larger cup size is even more difficult but now you are in luck.
Innovative Nursing clips
Just like the Essential Nursing Tank, the Sublime Bra offers discreet nursing clips which are undetectable under clothing and can unclip and clip easily with just one hand.The cups unclip and drop down and away from your body allowing baby full access and essential skin-to-skin contact to facilitate nursing. This design feature is perfect for beginner nurses who are still perfecting their baby’s latch. We love the dual cup sizes! The soft lace fabric is stretchy enough to fit your changing size and is perfectly designed for both maternity and nursing, offering terrific value. A nursing mom’s core body temperature rises one degree when she is nursing. This beautiful bra is lined with cotton for comfort and breathability allowing you to stay comfortable all day long. The quality and workmanship of the Sublime Nursing Bra is once again top notch, and you can be assured that this bra won’t fall apart after a few washings. The Sublime Nursing Bra is available in several gorgeous colors to suit your mood!
Soft delicate lace
Complete the look with the feminine Matching Sublime Bikini. The Sublime Bikini is cut lower to accommodate a growing bump in pregnancy and will fit just as well post partum.
