“The Rock Candy seamless maternity/nursing bra is the ideal everyday bra and is perfect for use during those transitional periods when a women experiences rapid breast growth. The Rock Candy bra is made from a strong supportive fabrication that is designed to stretch and give the wearer superior support with the added use of removable foam cups. Other features include: fully adjustable non-slip straps, 6 hooks and eyes for expansion, double layered cups, firm under band, drop down cups for feeding and is available in 4 easy sizes.”

Would you recommend this to other mums?

The Rock Candy Bra is a fantastic product. The cups are very flexible but still have given support unlike many other maternity bras. The cups have comfortably adjusted to my changes in cup size as my pregnancy has progressed. The back has so many size options it allows for your expanding rib cage easily. The bra washes well and still looks and feels great.

How did this product make your life easier?

The Rock Candy Bra washes and dries quickly, keeping its good looks. It is extremely comfortable but I still feel confident wearing it as it gives medium support. The bra will be ideal for breastfeeding as the clips are easy to access but secure. It is nice to have maternity underwear that is such high quality yet not too expensive to buy. The packaging is beautiful - would be a lovely gift!

Would you choose this product to win?

This bra is high quality product and great value for money. I can't fault the Rock Candy Bra I love it! It is extremely comfortable, my favourite bra! It is so difficult to find a maternity bra that will give support but still feel comfortable and flexible and also look good but Rock Candy have cracked it!

What changes would you make to this product?

This is very difficult, to find fault with such a great product - possibly the only thing I would change would be to make the shoulder straps slightly longer, the bra fits beautifully but I have extended the shoulder straps almost to the maximum length. It would then be a little more flexible for mums changing sizes - the back offers a very wide variety of size adjustments so a small increase in shoulder strap size would then give the same allowance for growth.

Would you recommend this to other mums?

I would definitely recommend this product not only to my mummy to be friends but also my other friends as this is the most comfortablest bra I have ever worn! It is also really easy to use and provides excellent support and I love the packaging it gets delivered in...this makes you feel like you have purchased something special and of high quality.

How did this product make your life easier?

As a busy pregnant mum with a two year old this makes my life easier as I know I can wear this bra without fear of my boobs being on show! I also plan on breastfeeding my new baby and have found that the bra clips undone and does back up really easily so should make breastfeeding a lot less stressful.

Would you choose this product to win?

I would buy this bra to wear if I wasn't pregnant that is how much I love it! I love the quality of the bra and the packaging makes you feel like you have bought something special. It also washes well and is quick drying.

What changes would you make to this product?

The only negative that I can think about this product is that one of the clips makes a clicking sound, which is rather annoying....I think this must be a slight maufacturing fault and not really a big problem. Other than that I genuinely love this product so would not change a single thing about it!

Tested by mum Lisa Cornish for the M&B Awards 2017:

Would you recommend this to other mums?

I would definitely recommend this product to a friend. The nursing bra is incredibly comfortable and supports well, I also found it looks more like a sports bra than a maternity bra, which I loved. The material is soft and stretchy but still supportive. I loved this product and would definitely look to buy a few more from this range.

How did this product make your life easier?

It made my life easier as a mum, especially during those late pregnancy stages, where your breasts hurt and are sore, the last thing you need is a scratchy, unfitting bra. I also loved the clips attached for breastfeeding! Makes breastfeeding a little more discreet and is easily undone/fastened using one hand, which is important!

Would you choose this product to win?

For comfort alone, I would choose this as a top pick. The material is soft and the bra is designed to support really well. I'm looking forward to using it for breastfeeding as the clasps are easily undone/fastened with one hand, which is important when trying to juggle a newborn and a 6 year old with her Barbie dolls!

What changes would you make to this product?

There isn't really anything that I would change about the product, it fits well, is designed great and even get delivered in a beautiful pink box with soft tissue paper inside! Really felt like a special treat when it was delivered, which as a heavily pregnant mum of 3 is super important! I liked the product so much, that I'm looking to buy more.

Tested by mum Kathryn Stannard for the M&B Awards 2017:

Would you recommend this to other mums?

I would highly recommend this item to fellow mums. The design was superior, simple, but did exactly what the product was designed for. Very easy to use, excellent quality, compared to cheaper products on the market. Stitching and attention to detail was amazing and i checked it over very carefully and no issue. Comfort was like a second skin and fitted extremely well, gives support and very easy to use for nursing. Washes just like it’s new, no bobbling and not misshaped.

How did this product make your life easier?

This product has made my life much easier as a mum because i now have a supportive, well designed nursing bra that is perfect for everyday use as well as nursing. I do not need to worry about getting uncomfortable or having to adjust the back of the bra because in the design this has been thought of and makes it so much more durable, comfy and built to last.

Would you choose this product to win?

This product should win because of the simple yet in my opinion flawless design and support it gives to a expectant/nursing mother. The price is well worth it, with the superior stitching used and quality material that has been used to make this product. The back of the bra stands out to myself rather than just 2/3 settings for back size it has a lot more give and can be used right throughout pregnancy/ready for nursing when little one arrives to will last without having to buy another.

What changes would you make to this product?

I maybe would change the design pattern, to something like soft vintage colours, more pastel colours or make limited edition ones that are a little more luxurious and make a woman feel more sexy, than mumsy and gives a little more character to the bra. Maybe offer re-usable breast pads with the bra with the same quality so they fit the design of the bra better and you know you are getting the same high standard of product.

Tested by mum Tracy Richardson for the M&B Awards 2017:

Would you recommend this to other mums?

This maternity bra is really comfortable and gives a really good level of support and shape compared to other maternity bras I have worn. The removable pads are a great feature so you can get a bit of extra padding if needed! The nursing features look like they would work well and the clips on the straps to nurse seem to be good quality and easy to snap back into place.

How did this product make your life easier?

Being comfortable whilst pregnant is a priority and this bra fitted the bill as soon as I put it on. There is loads of room for growth with the many adjustment hooks on the back so it will last a long time. It also washes really well. I also have some other maternity bras that give me a saggy looking shape (I have a larger chest) but this bra gives good support and a nicer shape under your clothes.

Would you choose this product to win?

This bra is an excellent product based on its comfort levels, its ability to expand with you and the support it provides which is what makes it stand out.

What changes would you make to this product?

The bra comes in some standard sizes e.g. small, medium and large. What would be helpful is if there could be more variety perhaps using cup sizes, as although there is a lot of room on the band of the bra, I am concerned that as I inevitably get bigger cup wise the bra may not fit quite as well up top.
