I can't remember how I only got one for half price, but maybe you need two for $59? thirty each isn't so bad. I was trying to be super minimalist about my nursing gear, but it would have been nice to have more than one freaking bra for an entire year of my life.</p> <p>[attach=6423/17/oyeogg.600x448.Screen-Shot-2017-10-25-at-9.05.07-PM.png] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bras-amp-tanks-you-loved#post-2781812 Tue, 24 Oct 2017 16:54:07 +0000 PawPrints 2781812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am overwhelmed by options now :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bras-amp-tanks-you-loved#post-2781771 Tue, 24 Oct 2017 14:06:49 +0000 kayla0416 2781771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LCTBQE: How did you get your Soma bra for only $25?? Was it just a good sale, or are there coupons somewhere? That looks like exactly what I'm looking for, but I'm super frugal (cheap) and the $50-60 price tag is giving me anxiety. But all of my $20 bras from Target from my first pregnancy/year nursing have fallen apart, so I guess you get what you pay for. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bras-amp-tanks-you-loved#post-2781733 Tue, 24 Oct 2017 12:39:16 +0000 MamaBear87 2781733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: I'll check out their tanks. That's mostly what I slept in so always hunting new ones.<br /> I have a soma sleep shirt I love but they changed them and my boobs fall out of the new ones 😂 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bras-amp-tanks-you-loved#post-2781732 Tue, 24 Oct 2017 12:31:21 +0000 Happygal 2781732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PawPrints: no, I think Gilligan O'Malley. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bras-amp-tanks-you-loved#post-2781695 Tue, 24 Oct 2017 10:53:25 +0000 PawPrints 2781695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: The Bravado ones? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bras-amp-tanks-you-loved#post-2781684 Tue, 24 Oct 2017 10:23:32 +0000 Happygal 2781684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBear87: I never tried their bras, just their tanks. It took me a little bit to like them b/c they can get twisted, but I find them really convenient for night time feedings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bras-amp-tanks-you-loved#post-2781633 Tue, 24 Oct 2017 06:50:42 +0000 tinyperson 2781633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I liked my naked tanks the best: <a href="http://www.nakedtank.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.nakedtank.com/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bras-amp-tanks-you-loved#post-2781631 Tue, 24 Oct 2017 06:36:21 +0000 hellobeeboston 2781631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had Pea in the Pod nursing tanks that also had lightly lined cups built into the shelf bra that I LOVED. I mainly liked the extra lining because it helped cover the nursing pads i had to wear all the time.... With my second I had a really hard time tracking these down and I just googled and didn't see them so I'm not sure if they still exist. I was glad I bought 4 of them, they were the BEST. ALSO, the shelf bra inside wasn't too tight which I found to be an issue with many nursing tanks and one of the too-tight ones kept giving me a clogged duct on one side. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bras-amp-tanks-you-loved#post-2781606 Mon, 23 Oct 2017 21:37:15 +0000 MamaBear87 2781606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LCTBQE: I stay home with my little so have the luxury of not really caring that they show a bit :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bras-amp-tanks-you-loved#post-2781603 Mon, 23 Oct 2017 21:18:39 +0000 LCTBQE 2781603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBear87: I tried one and the pads bunched up and the pad shape was super clearly defined! but I'm the only person I know who didn't like the bravado bra, so I guess the cheese stands alone :) I just preferred a nursing tank for casual life because I thought they were more supportive with my sizing issue. plus I love how with tanks when you pull your shirt up your belly is still covered. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bras-amp-tanks-you-loved#post-2781601 Mon, 23 Oct 2017 21:16:26 +0000 MamaBear87 2781601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: I had one target nursing bra and hated it. Maybe I'll have to try again once preggo this time around </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bras-amp-tanks-you-loved#post-2781600 Mon, 23 Oct 2017 21:13:51 +0000 Happygal 2781600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBear87: those are great. I bought a cheap knock-off three pack off Amazon and they're not nearly as nice (the padding is thick and looks funny under clothes).</p> <p>I love Target's nursing tank, but not all are created equal! I like the one with the three buttons. I bought a striped one and it cuts in too much so I was spilling out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bras-amp-tanks-you-loved#post-2781599 Mon, 23 Oct 2017 21:04:58 +0000 MsMini 2781599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Glamour mom nursing tanks were BY FAR my favourite! Super long and as supportive as any nursing bra I had.</p> <p>Nursing bras wise I had a lot from Cake, they tended to be the ones I kept going back to. I am going to head to Nordstrom’s after this LO is born and try a couple other brands as well. After 3 years of breastfeeding between 2 babies I have some rough looking bras in my stash! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bras-amp-tanks-you-loved#post-2781598 Mon, 23 Oct 2017 21:01:53 +0000 Banana330 2781598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bravado tanks, hot milk and cake for nicer occasions </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bras-amp-tanks-you-loved#post-2781597 Mon, 23 Oct 2017 20:59:32 +0000 MamaBear87 2781597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LCTBQE: the nice part of the bravado is they have removable pads so no nappies throwing through. And I'm also a 32dd or ddd and do pretty solid with the bravado ones because the cups are super stretchy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bras-amp-tanks-you-loved#post-2781596 Mon, 23 Oct 2017 20:58:57 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2781596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bravado nursing tank and shelf bra. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bras-amp-tanks-you-loved#post-2781582 Mon, 23 Oct 2017 20:25:15 +0000 LCTBQE 2781582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>if you need another one with more structure, Soma Embraceable--recommended to me by another HB mama :) I only paid like $25 for mine, it's all black. It was super sturdy and had great shape and underwire and nice supportive straps/body, so, the opposite of the bravado bras. I wore it for work though, where I need to look good and not have nipples showing, and pretty much wore nursing tanks under my tops on weekends/evenings. The other thing that's great about Soma is they have unusual sizes and the bands have 4 settings if you're not a generic S M L size. I'm a 32DD and all the other bras I tried were way too loose in the band. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bras-amp-tanks-you-loved#post-2781578 Mon, 23 Oct 2017 20:15:22 +0000 gingerbebe 2781578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rumina pump and nurse tanks...if you pump its so convenient. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bras-amp-tanks-you-loved#post-2781564 Mon, 23 Oct 2017 18:36:01 +0000 PawPrints 2781564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBear87: That sounds perfect for me - my ribcage expands a lot during pregnancy so last time all my nursing bras/tanks had horribly stretched bands. (I buy S since my boobs are so small, I mean normally when I haven't just had milk come in). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bras-amp-tanks-you-loved#post-2781562 Mon, 23 Oct 2017 18:33:52 +0000 MamaBear87 2781562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PawPrints: yep that's the one! Only downside is they're only sized s,m,l,xl so they tend to be a bit big in the band for me when nursing because I have a tiny band size and bigger boobs. But I just suffer with real bras for date night :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bras-amp-tanks-you-loved#post-2781561 Mon, 23 Oct 2017 18:30:43 +0000 PawPrints 2781561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaBear87: Is that this one? <a href="https://www.bravadodesigns.com/us/products/body-silk-seamless-nursing-bra?variant=47029143754" rel="nofollow">https://www.bravadodesigns.com/us/products/body-silk-seamless-nursing-bra?variant=47029143754</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bras-amp-tanks-you-loved#post-2781560 Mon, 23 Oct 2017 18:28:40 +0000 MamaBear87 2781560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my bravado body silk ones. I'm still wearing them because underwire is SO uncomfortable now </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-bras-amp-tanks-you-loved#post-2781558 Mon, 23 Oct 2017 18:26:42 +0000 PawPrints 2781558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The nursing bras and tanks I wore 24/7 when DD was born were not the most high-quality, well-fitting, or luxurious. Looking back on it, I spent SO MUCH time in them I think this time I'm willing to drop some cash on a few real quality pieces. What did you love?

I would get those. The non underwire ones just made me sad when I wore them. Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-tale-of-two-ta-tas#post-2197984 Wed, 03 Jun 2015 13:34:44 +0000 mdf106 2197984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I liked Anita underwire nursing bras. I got them just before 6 weeks, and never had any problems. In the early days I used various cheap bras, none of which were worthwhile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-tale-of-two-ta-tas#post-2197323 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 22:06:26 +0000 Greentea 2197323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bravado bliss!</p> <p>I have very large ones with a small rib cage. Hot milk and cake didn't have my sizes. I tried a panache (sophie) but it wasn't supportive. Bravado bliss has molded cups with structure, can also be made racerback, which I need or I get pinched nerves (they are so heavy). Someone recommended it on here and I am grateful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-tale-of-two-ta-tas#post-2197321 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 22:01:37 +0000 PinkElephant 2197321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I liked Hotmilk -they worked for me (I wore their 32E while breaatfeeding full time) and were much prettier than many of the other options out there. Zulily tends to have them once at least quarterly for under $30 each. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-tale-of-two-ta-tas#post-2197311 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 21:44:56 +0000 bisous 2197311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was an F cup while nursing and used Bravado Body Silk bras. They were great at first...and I stuck out using them for the full year I breastfed/pumped around the clock. They were definitely beat (basically not doing their job to hold my ta tas up!) by the time I was done. </p> <p>I *did* have problems with underwire until around 9 months post partum. The pressure almost always caused a painful plugged duct. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-tale-of-two-ta-tas#post-2197277 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 21:01:09 +0000 kgbee 2197277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore structured but not wired nursing bras for the first few months, then switched to wired ones once I had my feet under me &amp; my boob size had more or less settled. </p>
