Girlfriend Collective Maternity Collection Review
I Didn’t Think Cute Maternity Workout Sets Existed, Until I Tried Girlfriend Collective’s Line

The product: Girlfriend Collective Ellie Clip Nursing Bra ($48)
The fit: I loved the adjustable settings for the straps and back for this sports bra. Your boob size fluctuates quite a bit during and after pregnancy, so this felt like one of those thoughtful "designed by a mom" decisions. Like most nursing bras, I noticed the additional strap that connects and disconnects the bra strap to the bra for easy access. It took some getting used to at first, but wasn't noticeable after a few minutes of wear. Overall, I found this bra to be very comfortable and flattering.
The function: The bra kept everything in place throughout my workouts. I don't know how it would perform for higher intensity training (that's certainly not happening anytime soon!), but it was sturdy and comfortable for yoga, spin, and all-day wear.
The verdict: Again, I was extremely happy with this product. I have been hesitant to buy bigger sports bras during pregnancy, so a nursing sports bra is the perfect solution. It fits and is comfortable now, but will also be a must-have once I have the all-clear to start exercising again postpartum.
