Head to head
Bravado Body Silk vs Cake Maternity Cotton Candy
Nursing bras succeed or fail on fit and one-handed access, not logos. Bravado and Cake are the two brands most often tried against each other in UK fitting rooms.
Bravado Body Silk Seamless Nursing Bra
From £39
9.4/10
The nursing bra that appears on every hospital bag list for good reason — seamless, wire-free, one-handed clip and enough structure to wear under work clothes without looking like underwear. The stretch accommodates engorgement without needing a new size.
Choose if: You want seamless stretch and the most common hospital-bag default.
Cake Maternity Cotton Candy Nursing Bra
CheaperFrom £32
9.2/10
Cake Maternity's wire-free bra delivers structured support without the Bravado price — cotton-blend fabric, one-handed clips and a wide band that handles ribcage expansion through pregnancy and the early postpartum weeks.
Choose if: You want cotton-blend structure and slightly better value per bra.

Our verdict
Choose Bravado if you want a seamless look under clothes and stretch that forgives engorgement. Choose Cake if you prefer a cotton-blend feel and structured support without stepping up to fuller-bust styles. Try both sizes in your third-trimester measurements before committing to a multipack.
