Ladies, Are nursing tanks helpful or are they just another one of the money making tactics? I am all for helping and making life easier, but hate to waste money on not needed items Thanks
I got cheap ones from Walmart, H&M and target ( the best IMO )and wore them a ton for the first 3 months. I still use them but will just do stretchy tops for pull down too

Another vote from the itty bitty titty committee. I wear them in lieu of a bra. The cami type with the bra shelf thingy.

In wear an undercover mama tank every time I leave the house. I like that they hook to a regular nursing bra so I can still feel like I get enough support.
If you like the idea of the undercover mama tanks (the strap is modified to become a loop that goes around the clip of any nursing bra) just check out Google or Pinterest for DIY instructions. I disliked Bravado tanks and didn't want to spend a ton of money. Just bought a bunch of tanks at Target in a couple of colors and spent 10 minutes or so on each. They work really well!
I got mine from H&m and they're great! I made some adjustments to the shelf bra so I could still get some support (36 E) without shoving my cleavage everywhere :-P
I have been living in the ones from Target. I'm not impressed with the support (F cup pre preg), but for around the house, they are fine. I rarely go anywhere these days anyways!

I love them and live in them from pregnancy through all of nursing. I love that I can nip or with company over and not expose my belly when I lift my shirt. And I can wear just those at home, or those and a cardigan to work, or just under a normal shirt.
Target now carries some from bravado basics that have more support than their Gilligan and o'malley line. I wear a nursing tank every single day and dd is now 6 months old. Definitely worth it for me.
Re: Nursing tanks ?!?
I'm just trying to make sense of things :-)
