Nursing Tank Tops Question

QuinnsarasQuinnsaras
in 3rd Trimester

I've started looking into nursing tanks for post delivery and several of my girlfriends have recommended the ones target carries. On the website, target advertises two kinds...one is a "Full Sling" and one is a "Side Sling". From what I've gathered, the full sling has one panel across the girls and you bring the whole panel down for nursing, the side sling has clasps on each side so you separately unclasp each side depending on which you plan to nurse on.

 All that said, I have two questions: 1. Are my impressions of these accurate? 2. Which did/do you prefer?

 TIA!

    Yes what you described is correct. 

    For now I just wear the maternity tanks. I have not been wearing the nursing tanks yet. 

    Try posting this on 0-3 and breastfeeding for a few more responses.

    GL!

    I have the side sling and like them.

    They're supportive enough I can skip wearing a bra (though I am not super busty--a 36 C right now while nursing, normally a 34 B).

    Actually, they both have the same clasp system.  The difference is the type of hole in the cloth behind the flap -- the side sling has just a sloping bit of fabric that basically goes under your breast, leaving the whole thing exposed, and the full sling is like a shelf bra with circles cut out of the middle around your nipples.  I personally preferred the side sling -- the full sling circle cut-outs felt weird when I tried them on, and I've read that the side slings are better for keeping breast shields in place.  But I think this is a personal preference thing -- see if your local Target carries examples of both and try them on for yourself.

    mine have holes cut out over each breast and i can take the sides down one at a time.  i like being able to do one side at a time and keep the other side up because it is easier to prevent the free boob from squirting milk everywhere :P
