Nursing Tank Recommendations

Blueyedsky · February 2016

I have two Yummie brand compression nursing tanks that I love, but they are so expensive and I need more. Which brands are the best? I'm looking for something ideally cheaper than $30 a tank, but if something is just that awesome please recommend as well!

I would love something with plenty of coverage up top for big boobs and a little compression/stretch in the midsection to hide my flab

Does such a thing exist? Thanks!!!

I've read good reviews about the Gillian O'Malley one's from target. But I need more too so I will be following. This is my last baby so I don't want to spend an arm and a leg.

Yes! I have 3 variations of the Gilligan O'Malley tank below. They're easy to unclip when nursing, really flattering, and only 19.99!

Personally I would say that the target tanks are lacking in the coverage area for larger sizes. I can't wear mine out of the house or around visitors, but they are nice for at home!

I have two of the target tanks and I agree with @hailees. I am rather busty and one of them won't stay buttoned at all. But they are so comfy and offer super easy access. I wear them both around the house and just throw on a sweater or flowy shirt if someone drops by.

I have a few from motherhood maternity that I love. Super comfortable. My mom mailed them to me, so I have no idea what they cost though.

I agree with this. The Target tanks are better for just wearing around the house, or under a sweater or something. I'm not that busty and I have way too much side boob in these things to wear out in public. If I went up a size then the rest would be too big.

@hailees I agree they aren't good for large breasts I have two and they don't cover much at all.
I have a question though are y'all wearing the nursing tank with a nursing bra? I have nursing bras but have been wearing regular stretchy long tanks because I feel like unclipping a bra and tank is too much.
I love the missimo stretch long tanks over my Gillian and omalley bras they don't loose their shape even after nursing all day. And they are 8$!

I wear a nursing tank alone, only at home. Nursing bra + non shelf camisole tank with loose straps + loose top seems to be my magic combo for going out.

Same - nursing bra + $6 cami from Walmart that is loose enough to pull down and long enough to cover my butt in leggings

I bought some cheap long tanks, and made them into nursing tanks that attach to the bra, so only I clip to undo. I love it!! I found the directions on Pinterest, and it was super easy!

Glamourmom nursing tanks are great, but expensive, probably similar in price to the yummy ones. The shelf bra has a hook and eye closure in the back so you can loosen/tighten it. There is a breathable lining in the front to allow some air circulation as well as cut-outs for nipple pads. The clips on the straps are easy for lowering the front. The coverage and support are good and it provides some light compression.

Cake maternity. Hands down my favorite! I have the tanks and bras. I found I sale at https://www.cuteasabuttonbabyboutique.com/collections/sale/products/honey-toffee-nursing-tank

@maminette13 I have seen those on Pinterest and they look great but I'm curious how it's attached in the back to stay up? Same way, looped on strap?
I am going to do this this weekend !

Blueyedsky · February 2016

I ended up doing something very similar to the above, except I bought some silicon o rings on amazon that just loop right over the closure on my nursing Bra. I'll have to take a pic when I finish.

There isn't anything. They stay up pretty well with just the elastic, and I only wear them under another shirt, but that is one of the downsides.

PSA - the yummie nursing tanks someone recommended are on sale today only for $29! Normally $68 so I'm pretty excited. Also feel free to try "dontforget10" as a promo code - I had abandoned my cart and they sent me the code.

I also love my nursing tank from target. Very nicely made and comfortable. I would have to agree that if you are large breasted, they might be tight.
