Nursing Tanks?

[ajetter]

Baby number four is due mid January and I’d like to get some new nursing tanks as most of mine have seen better days. I’m looking for a tank that has enough support that a 36B/C chest wouldn’t also need another bra. I can’t stand wearing a million layers.

If you don’t have any recommendations that fit the bill, I’d love to hear your favorite nursing clothing items.

Thanks!!

I am pleased with the target tanks and the shelf bra. But...I am very long torso and they aren't as long as I would like.

I have transitioned to just a bra and a regular tank. I pull the tank down. I hate that I'm stretching my clothes. So I bought some old navy ones on a really good sale. And I just am accepting that my clothes are all old anyways. So if a year from now I need to replace my tank tops, that is a minor cost in the long run.

Otherwise. I'm struggling to find good tops that are for nursing so I don't have to add layers. I'm CHEAP. I picked up a dress and a shirt from old navy and I love them both. But I got them on a Really good deal. So those are the only two I own

One option I like is using a maxi skirt as a dress with a cardigan. I can easily pull the top down and I don't have to have any extra layers.

i don't know of a specific nursing tank, but i made a couple of DIY nursing tanks and it's super easy: blogs.babycenter.com/tips_and_tricks/diy-the-easiest-nursing-tank-conversion/

walmart and old navy both have really inexpensive stretchy tanks ($2-$3) that are great for this.

I got a bunch of nursing tanks from motherhood maternity on sale. Some have cups in them that help shape/hide if your nips are erect. I've been pleased with them and the ones that just have the plain shelf bra.

I like the target ones too but found the sizing to be wonky. So definitely try them on before buying.

I love undercover mama tanks but they prob would need a bra under. I like them because hey don’t have the shelf stuff.

I like mine from motherhood maternity. They’ve held up well to a couple years of wear. They often have buy 3 get 1 sales, and the prints go on clearance in store.

This is genius!!

I have a bunch of old tanks like that from Old Navy that I was about to get rid of, but I'm going to do this instead.

I have these from Amazon

3 PACK OF Convertible Strap Nursing Cami for Breastfeeding (Medium, A) www.amazon.com/dp/B0746NT4Q1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_ZZVfAb86N90HE

I'm pretty short, but I think these would be pretty long still on anyone taller. And they've held up pretty well the last 2 months.



ETA These do have a shelf bra which is super thick and has removable pads. I took the pads out and still wear a nursing bra under it but I'm a 34 D and...need one. You might be able to get away without a bra.

Target has a Bravado line that is more supportive than the shelf ones, but they're on the shorter and tighter side. I liked the Gilligan & O'Malley ones right after birth bc they're more forgiving around the belly, but I liked the Bravado ones to wear under my regular shirts as time went on for more support.

I hate the old navy and motherhood nursing shelf tanks. I have a la leche league one that is way too short for my long torso.

I've worn the target ones since I had my first daughter (just had #3) and they are my favorites. Kindred Bravely has a tank too that's supposed to be good, but I haven't tried it. I do love the rest of the KB stuff I have, so I wouldn't be surprised if their tank was awesome too.

Thanks for the input ladies! I ordered three different style from motherhood over Black Friday and I think two of them will do me good. Definitely plan to check out Target ones too though.

My favorite is the ingrid and isabel nursing tank, though a little pricier. I was able to get away with rotating two. I LOVED them. I found them to be supportive enough for my 34G/H to not worry about another bra while wearing them.
