Basically like a v-neck with a dickey, lol. Works like the tank under clothing (pull one up and the other down) but the under part is not a full-length shirt. I like that because it's hot here and I don't like wearing the two layers!<br /> <a href="http://m.hm.com/us/product/53021?article=53021-B&#038;cm_mmc=pla-_-us-_-ladies_maternity_wear_nursing-_-53021&#038;gclid=CjwKEAjwj92_BRDQ-NuC98SZkWYSJACWmjhlCxxlDN4F7yf6kz6Ltwa_rxuSqpxO6ebQG-bjXQEFYxoCkYXw_wcB" rel="nofollow">http://m.hm.com/us/product/53021?article=53021-B&#038;cm_mmc=pla-_-us-_-ladies_maternity_wear_nursing-_-53021&#038;gclid=CjwKEAjwj92_BRDQ-NuC98SZkWYSJACWmjhlCxxlDN4F7yf6kz6Ltwa_rxuSqpxO6ebQG-bjXQEFYxoCkYXw_wcB</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-pull-down-shirtstanks-for-nursing#post-2633569 Fri, 07 Oct 2016 09:02:10 +0000 csross217 2633569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Old Navy Tami tanks are the best! Also, I made my own Undercover Mama tank from a $2 Forever21 tank top. It was incredibly easy to make and perfect to wear under sweaters and long sleeve shirts!

I think they are sold at nordstroms. I really like the quality of the shirts and have bought a few. </p> <p>There is another tank that I have a few of that I just pull my boob out of the top. I will look up the brand and post here in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-pull-down-shirtstanks-for-nursing#post-2633455 Fri, 07 Oct 2016 00:19:41 +0000 PurplePeony 2633455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for the Old Navy Tami tanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-pull-down-shirtstanks-for-nursing#post-2633432 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 22:19:38 +0000 newlypregnantlady 2633432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the v-neck Target shirts. I find that the crew neck don't work for me unless they're huge. </p> <p><a href="http://www.target.com/p/women-s-long-sleeve-vee-tee-merona/-/A-51013783" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/p/women-s-long-sleeve-vee-tee-merona/-/A-51013783</a></p> <p>They also have some henleys for sale which I imagine would work when unbuttoned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-pull-down-shirtstanks-for-nursing#post-2633204 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 17:56:28 +0000 sorrycharlie 2633204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ShootingStar: yup. That's the tank I was referring to, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-pull-down-shirtstanks-for-nursing#post-2633145 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 16:34:11 +0000 PinkElephant 2633145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ShootingStar: Me too - tiny frame, huge chest while nursing. That's why I was exposing the poor mannequins, haha :) I think I bought two of these today in-store. Glad to hear they work!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-pull-down-shirtstanks-for-nursing#post-2633065 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 14:22:39 +0000 anniefannie 2633065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Best.

They are awesome for nursing. Look for the ones that are 95% rayon and v-neck. Crew neck wasn't stretchy enough for me. I also just got some tanks from target that are working great for the pull down/pull up method. I had to go up a size though to get enough room to pull down over my boob fully, but I have really big boobs. I think it's this one - <a href="http://www.target.com/p/women-s-favorite-tank-merona/-/A-21502871?lnk=abtest_searchpdp_1" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/p/women-s-favorite-tank-merona/-/A-21502871?lnk=abtest_searchpdp_1</a></p> <p>@Foodnerd81: They don't sell the tami any more 😔. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-pull-down-shirtstanks-for-nursing#post-2632961 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 12:40:32 +0000 sorrycharlie 2632961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lived in nursing bras (my favorite were from target) and just random stretchy tanks (target Merona, gap, old navy). I wore a cardigan over them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-pull-down-shirtstanks-for-nursing#post-2632957 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 12:38:43 +0000 tlcbaby 2632957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PinkElephant: I don't have very big boobs even when nursing and it gives me plenty of coverage-no tank needed underneath. And I ordered a small and it is stretchy so should be plenty of room for the boobs. They have free shipping if you want to just try it--I got the floral dress like that, too, for an upcoming wedding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-pull-down-shirtstanks-for-nursing#post-2632955 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 12:36:05 +0000 PinkElephant 2632955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tlcbaby: In the past I've lost baby weight very quickly everywhere except the chest, and am hoping I'll be that fortunate again this time - so I found nursing tops to be pretty unflattering on me, since they just clung to my huge chest and made me look much bigger than I was. But that floral top is pretty enough to make me want to give it a try! How low cut does it end up being - do you need a tank for modesty underneath?</p> <p>@SKINNYCOW: Thanks for the tip! I have a ton of the juniors (mossimo) version of this tee that I wore in early/mid pregnancy and loved it. Maybe those will work, and maybe they'll come out with a long sleeve version soon-ish! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-pull-down-shirtstanks-for-nursing#post-2632942 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 12:28:01 +0000 Foodnerd81 2632942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For tanks under cardigans or hoodies the old navy Tami tank is good. I have had a couple for 3 years and the necks are only a little stretched out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-pull-down-shirtstanks-for-nursing#post-2632937 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 12:27:10 +0000 tlcbaby 2632937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know if you are open to actual nursing tops, but I just ordered a couple off of <a href="http://www.pinkblushmaternity.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.pinkblushmaternity.com</a> and I really like them. They pull down and they are flowy so they are forgiving while I am in that in between stage.</p> <p><a href="http://www.pinkblushmaternity.com/p-17635-navy-draped-front-top.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.pinkblushmaternity.com/p-17635-navy-draped-front-top.aspx</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.pinkblushmaternity.com/p-20725-navy-floral-maternitynursing-sash-tie-tunic.aspx?DepartmentID=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.pinkblushmaternity.com/p-20725-navy-floral-maternitynursing-sash-tie-tunic.aspx?DepartmentID=1</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-pull-down-shirtstanks-for-nursing#post-2632928 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 12:21:29 +0000 skinnycow 2632928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've heard this one is great - it's supposed to be pretty stretchy.

I'd like to explore the option of pulling the neck of my shirt down (rather than layering a tee over a tank), and am looking to buy some long sleeve tshirts with necks that are easy to stretch/pull down, or possibly tanks with the same (to pair with open sweaters).</p> <p>After wandering around around Target today and yanking down the necklines of various tops to expose mannequins boobs without much success (and looking like a huge creep, I'm sure), I decided to ask the experts. :)</p> <p>What are your favorite currently available t-shirts (bonus points for long sleeves!) and tanks (no shelf bra) for nursing? </p>
