I never got around to returning it (too late now), so let me know if you want an XS! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/irl-experiences-with-undercover-mama#post-2690979 Thu, 02 Feb 2017 14:50:23 +0000 littlebug 2690979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved the concept, but mine didn't fit well (despite using the sizing chart) and it was just never very comfortable. I wound up using my CoveredGoods nursing cover ALL the time - it provides 360 coverage, so worrying about showing skin wasn't an issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/irl-experiences-with-undercover-mama#post-2690961 Thu, 02 Feb 2017 14:10:48 +0000 newlypregnantlady 2690961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: <a href="http://www.forever21.com/Mobile/Product/Product.aspx?br=F21&#038;category=top_blouses&#038;productid=2000185695" rel="nofollow">http://www.forever21.com/Mobile/Product/Product.aspx?br=F21&#038;category=top_blouses&#038;productid=2000185695</a></p> <p>These were the ones I got. You can see how many colors there are! They also have plus sized tanks that are $3-$5. I was a BMI of 33 after giving birth and used a mix of XL and XXXL, so they're very stretchy. I am short so I don't know how they'd fare on tall women. </p> <p>The quality is definitely $2 tanks (they're not cut on the bias so the seams twist after awhile). But for me it was worth it because I could get a one in each color and I'd basically always have a coordinating color tank. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/irl-experiences-with-undercover-mama#post-2690955 Thu, 02 Feb 2017 14:06:12 +0000 snowjewelz 2690955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@newlypregnantlady: that requires me to go there and try them! Lol! But if they are $2 vs $25.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/irl-experiences-with-undercover-mama#post-2690952 Thu, 02 Feb 2017 14:04:58 +0000 newlypregnantlady 2690952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a bunch of super cheap tanks from Forever 21 and just used those under a different shirt. They were stretchy enough that I'd pull my shirt up and pull those down and they worked perfectly. Plus they're like $2 and they have a bunch of different colors.</p> <p>I tried one undercover mama that I inherited and it just wasn't as comfortable as I wanted. Plus not all my bras were clip down, so they didn't work with a lot of my bras. For a long time my boobs were too tender for anything other than sleep bras. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/irl-experiences-with-undercover-mama#post-2690949 Thu, 02 Feb 2017 13:55:33 +0000 Coral 2690949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: Amazing! I am not even nursing anymore and wear them everyday. Do follow the sizing recommendations! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/irl-experiences-with-undercover-mama#post-2690946 Thu, 02 Feb 2017 13:53:18 +0000 snowjewelz 2690946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any recent reviews of undercover mama? </p> <p>Since it's free return with prime I might just try anyway. I can't find the tami tank from ON anymore and worry that even a stretchy top wouldn't stretch out enough for my big boobs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/irl-experiences-with-undercover-mama#post-2469575 Sun, 21 Feb 2016 22:18:31 +0000 ShootingStar 2469575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't tried them, I liked the Old Navy tami tanks a lot though. They're perfect for pulling down and go right back in shape. I need support from a bra too, so a nursing tank alone just wasn't an option for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/irl-experiences-with-undercover-mama#post-2469537 Sun, 21 Feb 2016 21:36:56 +0000 SeptMomma12 2469537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOVE them. I've been wearing mine every day for 9 months and haven't had a single issue with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/irl-experiences-with-undercover-mama#post-2469534 Sun, 21 Feb 2016 21:33:04 +0000 JenGirl 2469534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried one but it was too small (despite using the size chart). I went to Goodwill and found a bunch of stretchy tanks that work great. I wear a bra under and just pull down bra and tank to nurs/pump. I think I got them for $2 each. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/irl-experiences-with-undercover-mama#post-2468509 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:30:32 +0000 mamabolt 2468509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/irl-experiences-with-undercover-mama#post-2468505 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:22:35 +0000 MenagerieMama 2468505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore them every day! It made basically any outfit I needed something I could nurse in. Im sure I could have made something similar for cheaper but I couldn't be bothered. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/irl-experiences-with-undercover-mama#post-2468461 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 06:56:26 +0000 brownepiano 2468461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>FWIW I made my own out of old camis. Cut off the straps and sew the front of the straps into a little loop. They worked pretty well though the loops did slip off my bra at times. I could never really get the hang of pulling a shirt up and a tank down and a bra somewhere too so it worked for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/irl-experiences-with-undercover-mama#post-2468398 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 23:51:41 +0000 QBbride 2468398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had the exact same experience as @Jennibenni: The little loops snapped off and the hooks were so difficult to get on and off my bras and totally shredded the straps in the process! I loved the idea but hated them. </p> <p>I've heard the "naked" tanks are really good! (I think that's what's they're called).</p> <p>I just wear normal tanks under normal shirts, pull up the shirt and pull down the tank. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/irl-experiences-with-undercover-mama#post-2468311 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 20:51:25 +0000 catlady 2468311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted to like them but they were too finicky for me. They also didn't really fit me (I bought two sizes). But I ended up not liking any nursing tanks. I felt better in just a nursing bra and regular top that I could just pull down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/irl-experiences-with-undercover-mama#post-2468291 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 20:19:32 +0000 jape14 2468291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I liked them but agree that the old navy tami tanks work just as well. I had trouble finding the tami tanks in my size so I had a few of those and a few of the undercover mama tanks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/irl-experiences-with-undercover-mama#post-2468084 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 15:40:22 +0000 Jennibenni 2468084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had two and really wanted to like them but the plastic clips didn't fit my bras and the rubber loops snapped quickly, leaving them pretty useless for me. Now I wear stretchy tanks over my bra that I can just pull down, even though they aren't technically nursing tanks they work well! And they're cheaper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/irl-experiences-with-undercover-mama#post-2468059 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 15:28:52 +0000 Foodnerd81 2468059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never tried them, but I will add that the Old Navy Tami tank works really well underneath things and covers the tummy. I just wear a nursing bra and pull the neckline down. After nursing my older one for a year and a half the neckline is only slightly stretched out on mine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/irl-experiences-with-undercover-mama#post-2468041 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 15:18:55 +0000 simplyfelicity 2468041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I :heart: them. I wear one everyday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/irl-experiences-with-undercover-mama#post-2468033 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 15:13:39 +0000 misolee 2468033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any reviews or experiences that are positive or negative about the Undercover Mama?</p> <p>FYI: I have to wear a bra out to feel supportive. I have the Bravado nursing tank from Target that I wear at home and love but would not feel comfortable just wearing that out (not enough support). I like my midsection being covered so this Undercover Mama idea sounds great in theory but I can't remember if I purchased it with my first and returned it or if that was something else. </p>
