HOTMilk
Lunar Eclipse Full Cup Nursing Bra
7/10 overall£27.99
A wirefree, full-coverage nursing bra in sleek microfiber with a natural lift, replacing the discontinued Eclipse Black line.
Most nursing bras in this category, including Bravado and Cake's models already stocked, are deliberately wire-free for comfort — HOTMilk's Eclipse is one of the few that offers a supportive underwire option specifically engineered to be nursing-safe, aimed at fuller busts that find wire-free styles under-supportive. This is a genuine gap-filler if you've found wire-free nursing bras leave you wanting more structure.
The trade-off against the wire-free options in this category is exactly what you'd expect: more structured support, at the cost of some of the stretch-and-flex comfort that wire-free styles are known for. It's a worthwhile alternative specifically for larger cup sizes where wire-free bras from other brands in this category may not provide adequate support.
What we liked
- Nursing-safe underwire gives more structured support
- Extended sizing well suited to fuller busts
- More substantial construction than wire-free alternatives
Where it falls short
- Most expensive option in the category
- Underwire less universally comfortable than wire-free styles

How we scored it
Comfort & Fit
How well it accommodates a changing shape through pregnancy.
Structured fit suits fuller busts well; underwire won't suit everyone's comfort preference.
Support Quality
How much structural support and lift it provides.
Nursing-safe underwire provides the strongest support in the category, especially for larger cups.
Value for Money
Cost relative to what you get.
Most expensive bra in the category, justified mainly for fuller-bust support needs.
