Breastfeeding

any nursing tanks that come up higher?

Even when not BFing, I've always been a person who frequently wears camis or tank tops underneath shirts.  I don't like to show cleavage if possible, and I find that many cute shirts are cut too low for me, so I layer. 

My problem is that I'm finding that my nursing tanks are cut awfully low.  I have tried Bravado Basics from Target, Glamourmom, and Medela tanks.  The Medela ones are the only ones that come close to covering as much as I like, but they are the least comfortable of the 3 that I've tried. 

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Re: any nursing tanks that come up higher?

  • I have the same problem.  I am a teacher and need to cover myself, but like to wear the trendier shirts, so I always wear a cami.  I love the undercover mama tanks.  They attach to your nursing bra clips or can attach higher using little metal slide clips.  I like that the height is adjustable, but that it is still a nursing tank.  They are also thick enough to not be see through which is a major plus!

  • I like the gilligan and omalley tanks from target but can't always find them in stores.

    I actually wear a regular nursing bra and an Old Navy cami - it has elastic straps and lace on the top, and returns to its normal shape even after I pull it down to nurse. I wear them under everything because I hate how low-cut the nursing tanks are, and I like my underwire nursing bras better than the shelf bras of the nursing tanks.

  • Same problem here, thanks for the post as I was needing some advice too!  I have just been using my maternity tanks that are stretchy and easily stretch down as they cover more cleavage (still not as much as I'd like) than the nursing tanks I've tried.

  • Usually just lurk but saw this the other day and thought it might help you. Haven't tried it yet but looks like it would work to turn any cami into a nursing tank.

    AWESOME!!! I have been using swim suit bra hooks to latch onto my bra strap, but just making that loop makes it even cheaper ;o)

  • I just got the undercover mama nursing tank and LOVE THEM. I love how high it comes up b/c I don't like to reveal a whole lot either. I unfortunately had to send it back b/c it was too big, so I'm getting the smaller size. But either way, I am excited b/c it's the material that I like and sits higher, so it's a great fit!
