    Ok, I'll get us started....  hehe.

    I'm small chested to begin with, 34 B, only went up to a C. I tried two old-school nursing bras in a, um, traditional "bullet" shape (haha) like this one https://amzn.com/B001XJBOM0 and didn't like them much.
    The shape was not-my-style, and the hooks were somewhat cumbersome to re-do, although I did like the soft cloth.

    I was thinking of trying one of these pretty lace ones ( Le Mystere Women's Sexy Mama Nursing Bra, https://amzn.com/B003P2VHQQ), since I'm smaller chested I was hoping it wouldn't constrict to much?  Haha, I really have no idea what I'm talking about!

    I guess I'm just hoping to avoid spending tons of money trying different styles to find something I like, by getting input from all you smart mamas.  :)

    Motherhood bras.....D-   Terrible range of sizes and the cups were too stiff.  I had bruising under both arms.

    Target tanks....B-    They squeezed a little tight for my liking.

    Target bras.....C-  Again, not a full range of sizes.   

    Medela Nursing tanks ....A+   They never smell!  I've been wearing them for 2 years almost every day.  Love these.

    Anita Nursing Bra....A-    Properly fitted, these are a dream.  They're certainly not sexy, but man are they comfortable

    You get what you pay for.

    I don't remember what bras I have, but I love them.  I also have the old navy nursing tanks and love them! I will definitely get more of those with baby #2!

    I should preface this by saying that I am fairly small chested 36C when BFing (A/B when not).

    I only tried nursing tanks from Old Navy- I hated them. I don't know if I just got a bad style, but I always had a horrible time getting the hooks to go through the little fabric loops.

    I had both nursing tanks and bras from Target (Gilligan O'Malley) that I liked. The tanks came in two styles. The kind where the bottom layer went all the way around the breast and the kind that just had a "sling" under and around the outside. I had some of both. I liked the full ones for early on and the sling stule for later. I tried a traditional style nursing bra (with formed cups). It was never comfortable for me. I ended up using the "sleep bras" all the time.

    I swear I tried everything.  Motherhood bras were junk(just uncomfortable).  Old Navy nursing tanks were junk(couldn't hook with one hand).

    I liked Bravado (Allure) bras and tanks from Target.

    Good luck!
