2nd time moms who BF'ed: Nursing Tanks

Loskadoodle · March 2012

Did you use them? I am thinking of ordering a couple but not sure if they will actually be used. I am guessing in the beginning you live in them though....

I nursed for 9 months (November-July) and wore them daily. In winter I wore them under button up long sleeve tops and I wore them on their own in summer. I also slept in them. If you want to breastfeed, I find them essential. My fave were Gillian O'Malley full sling tanks from Target. The half sling tanks are not as comfortable. I have 5 I think, and I am getting a few more for this go-round. I'll use the old (and worn) ones for sleep/ around the house and the new ones for going out in public.

I wore them 24/7 while BF I also like the gillian o'malley ones from target. The ones from motherhood sucked!

I had a couple, however I only wore them at home. They were cross-over style and you'd just pull the fabric down over your breast to nurse. I'm more comfortable lifting a t-shirt up and keeping my chest covered so I never wore them in public for nursing.

I wore them 24/7 also. At home I wore them by themselves and when I went out I always wore one under my shirt to keep my stomach covered when I lifted my shirt to nurse. Most of mine came from target. I really like the bravado ones too, they are pricey but are really supportive.

Great, thanks ladies!

Another vote for the Target ones. I still live in mine (but that's because I'm still nursing). I have a few that are prettier that I wear out that are visible under a cardi, and a few that I'll wear around the house. I'm definitely picking up a few more.

I didn't use them at all.

They're not on my 'must have' this time around either.

I used the Target Full sling tanks as well. They are convenient, but don't provide any support in my opinion. I wore them for the first few weeks with DS and at bedtime, but definitely preferred a supportive nursing bra to the tanks.

Lived in them. I started in the Target Gillian O'Malley ones, then found out the Walmart ones are cheaper and pretty ok, then found the Bravado ones are my favorites. I only have one of those because they are so pricey and I bought more Target ones for this baby.

I bought more so I didn't have to do laundry every day. I hated the full sling style.

I tried the ones from Target and Bravado. I hated them both.

I am larger chested and the only ones I could wear like a shirt was the Bravado ones. The target ones did not have enough support. I recommend waiting until the baby is born to buy them since you will get the best support if you are fitted. All of the ones I bought before did not work once my milk came in and I did size up when buying.
