I am living in tank tops and hoodies these days, as it seems to work the best for the constant breast feeding. But the nursing tanks I have are driving me insane! I feel like I'm constantly tugging them down to cover my belly - they barely graze the top of my waistband. And I do not have a long torso (I'm 5'4.). I have some H&M camisoles that I like the length on, but would love some extra support. I have a Bravado and a GlamourMom - does anyone have a recommendation for a brand that's working well?

I bought a bunch of motherhood ones and I really like them! I'm the same height as you and they seem to be a good length on me.

I agree with the motherhood brand. I do have a long torso and the target ones always seemed wide and short on me. Tbh price wise they at about the same so I never felt like I would be getting that great of a deal by getting them at target or Walmart. The motherhood ones also have more styles and colors to choose from. I love using them to layer. Motherhood usually has a buy 3 get 1 free deal too. I'm wearing mine from when my dd was born and hope to get some new ones before I go back to work in March.
The Gillian O'Malley ones are nice, except the clasps come undone on their own sometimes - thank goodness for a robe!
My mom also got me one from WalMart when I didn't do any laundry (whoops!) and that is my favorite one by far. Nice fit and clasps are strong. She found it in the bra section of the store.
I'm having the same issue. I can say I hate the Old Navy nursing tanks. They are impossible to unhook and rehook.
I don't have old navy tanks that hook,but rather the crossover ones. HATE them. They are so loose that they don't give any support OR coverage. Just splurged and bought a Pea in the
Pod one from destination maternity. Love it. Also enjoy the bravado felicity from target. It claims it's "slimming" but really it's just form fitting. Great for sleeping to keep the breast pads in place.
I love the Gilliam O'Malley ones from target as well, both the ones with drop down clasp and the pull down sleeping tanks. And, they are on sale at target.com right now.
I'm super tight on money and I ended up making my own nursing tanks. I ordered $2 tank tops from Forever21 and got $20 KAM snap press off amazon, plus the snaps.
It was super easy, fast and cheap. One nursing tank is about $20 and I spent $40 and I have 7 nursing tanks and could very easily make more. I have a over 50 sets of snaps. I would just need to buy the $2 tank.
I wore the tank tops for months throughout my pregnancy. They didn't stretch out and are surprisingly really good quality especially coming from forever.
I definitely 2nd the undercover mamas tanks. I have 3 and absolutely love them. So much better than anything I had with DD1. I also have a few of the gilligan & o'malley tanks from target that I like for sleeping.
I really like my motherhood maternity tanks. I tried the target ones, and they didn't seem long enough (I have a long torso), and they seemed to stretch out way too much at the bottom.
Re: Recommend your nursing tank!

I just ordered 2 of these off of Amazon today so I'm glad to hear you like them! The reviews were really good too.
