Nursing bras/tanks...2 questions.

starrysmile18 · July 2012

Where do you get them for a decent price? I just paid $20 for a tank from Target, but I only got one, because I think those are kinda pricey?

Second question, do you think they're worth it? Getting the specially made ones to nurse or will normal bras/tanks make due?

Nursing bras/tanks make it much easier to nurse. Even if you can get by with a tank and no bra now, post-baby you will likely be leaking and bigger.

I don't know about a better price, though. Mine are ridiculously expensive.

Nursing tanks are much easier than a nursing bra+ top.

I own about 10 nursing tanks. They are my pjs, and when I was nursing a lot, I wore them instead of a nursing bra in most cases (put a normal shirt over them; they make it super easy to NIP discreetly without needing a cover.

So, yes, they can be a bit pricey, but I wore on 95% of the time for the last year.

ITA! My uniform for the first few months was a nursing tank and cardigan.

Walmart has them for about $15 https://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=10843537&adid=bzv_fb_revshr_001.

I want to get a few more of them and also get some Lily Padz to insert into them for leaking and to not be nipping out all of the time.

try clearance on Old Navy, I got a couple. I don't remember the price because I got a bunch of other stuff. I got like 7 items for 90$ so not too spendy.

I have several from Target & like them. I could definitely not get by with regular bras. I did use a sports bra from time to time. Regular tanks would get too stretched out & regular bras would not stretch enough & cut off my circulation.

Buy one or two here & there so it's not such a big hit to your wallet.

Also if you get a Target Visa, you save 5% on all purchases, plus free shipping!

My Target had some on clearance last week for $13!!! I lived in the two I bought for my first baby, so yes, I think they're worth it!!! I prefer nursingtanks withbuilt in bras.

YES! They are definitely worth it. I just recently stopped wearing my tanks because I was afraid of stretching them out... hope to wear them again with baby #2. I'm still wearing the bras! (Toddler only nurses once in a while - right before bed... but I got rid of my regular bras because I jumped from a C to a DD and haven't even gotten back close to a C again yet).
