Even better!! Thanks! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-tank-and-bra-recs#post-2847699 Thu, 27 Sep 2018 14:09:19 +0000 agold 2847699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: I first bought my tank top from a terribly overpriced website called Buru. Then I saw the brand is also sold at Nordstrom. And then, yes, they have their own website. Its a ribbed tank top. Thick overall and thick straps. The straps have two snaps at the top. It doesn't seem like a nursing tank and its something I can imagine keeping after I am done nursing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-tank-and-bra-recs#post-2847698 Thu, 27 Sep 2018 14:06:42 +0000 LindsayInNY 2847698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DesertDreams88: Just looked up that brand - nice price point!</p> <p>@agold: Is Bun Maternity online? Never heard of it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-tank-and-bra-recs#post-2847678 Thu, 27 Sep 2018 13:32:38 +0000 agold 2847678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi, second time nurser here. Four months in. I have no time for special tanks and bras.I'm always looking for something I can pop a boob out of. I'm about 34C right now, just for reference. Sports bras without padding with a tank I can pull down. </p> <p>I love the anthropologie seamless layering tank as my base. It is $24 and you can usually get 20% if you wait a bit. </p> <p>Then I really love the shop Splendid. Its pretty pricey, but they have these tops called "Surplice Top". Check them out. An investment, but perfect for nursing and pumping. And they look nice enough for work or church or any other place where you cant wear a muscle tank top. I have a couple from last time nursing and I'm hoping to get a couple for my upcoming birthday or christmas.</p> <p>For bras, I have two from the Dairy Fairy. I needed them for pumping bras. The lace one I have is really uncomfortable. I may be willing to give it to you if you wanted to try it! I have another all plain version that is very orthopedic looking, but its so comfortable and does its job well. But still can't wear it under a thin top.</p> <p>ETA: For winter, I will probably look for a "nice" muscle tank, and then wear a sweater over it. Do "nice" muscle tanks exist??</p> <p>ETA: Edited one more time to add... I do have a specific nursing tank that i like ... its from Bun Maternity. Wide straps and I wear it on its own; nothing over. Check it out. Its a nice one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-tank-and-bra-recs#post-2847676 Thu, 27 Sep 2018 13:09:01 +0000 peachykeen 2847676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cake for nursing bras (I have the Rock Candy and the Croissant). </p> <p>I used Gilligan O'Malley tanks for DD1, but loved the Naked Nursing tanks (from Amazon) for DD2. They scoop under your nursing bra so you can wear whatever you want for support and still have your stomach covered while nursing in public. Granted, you can't really wear them without something over them, but it sounds like that won't be an issue for you. Note that the 2 grey shades seem to be a thicker/stretchier material (so better for tummy control) and the black/white seem to be a lighter material (good for warm weather).</p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DQ3AFHG/ref=twister_B00DQ3AF8A" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DQ3AFHG/ref=twister_B00DQ3AF8A</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-tank-and-bra-recs#post-2847675 Thu, 27 Sep 2018 13:04:27 +0000 MACSUNSHINE 2847675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wear the Target Gillian ones around the house but they are not super supportive for me.</p> <p>Bravado bras and tanks are amazing and I have moved to more of those this second time nursing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-tank-and-bra-recs#post-2847650 Thu, 27 Sep 2018 11:09:20 +0000 misolee 2847650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I’ve been wearing the Target Gillian’s? maternity tank with a nursing bra. I like to feed with my stomach covered so I wear tank and pull that down and the tank has enough ability to pull. It covers my 6 month pooch well too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-tank-and-bra-recs#post-2847618 Thu, 27 Sep 2018 09:58:00 +0000 lindseykaye 2847618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was looking at trying this combo nursing/pumping bra out from Kindred Bravely after seeing some ads for it. Available on Amazon at a decent price. I like that I wouldn't have to change bras at work for hands-free pumping and could do combo one-side nursing, one-side pumping at home if we want.</p> <p>Also looking at the suggestions here - great ones so far! :)</p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07G6X5CNX?colid=2208CGICV1QI&#038;coliid=I2LC6QKP4Q8RPR&#038;ref=br_ADD_TO_CART_title_link" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07G6X5CNX?colid=2208CGICV1QI&#038;coliid=I2LC6QKP4Q8RPR&#038;ref=br_ADD_TO_CART_title_link</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-tank-and-bra-recs#post-2847581 Thu, 27 Sep 2018 07:46:37 +0000 periwinklebee 2847581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never found a tank that I really liked.</p> <p>For bras, I use cake.

Worked perfect! It was also long enough to provide some NIP coverage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-tank-and-bra-recs#post-2847415 Wed, 26 Sep 2018 11:29:43 +0000 snowjewelz 2847415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you don't want so many layers you should def get undercover mama tanks! With DD2 I just wore nursing bras and those tanks. </p> <p>Can't help with bra rec's b/c I didn't want to spend more $ so I just re-used bras from DD1 and they were just target brand and did the job. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-tank-and-bra-recs#post-2847414 Wed, 26 Sep 2018 11:26:46 +0000 Silva 2847414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm interested too. I bought one of the fast food bras from Boob Design for maternity/nursing and have been pretty happy with it. I don't need a ton of support, so take that into account (I'm a 34 A non-nursing, probably about a 36C right now at 36 weeks pregnant). But it is comfortable and looks better under clothing than any other nursing bra I've had. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-tank-and-bra-recs#post-2847413 Wed, 26 Sep 2018 11:19:51 +0000 LindsayInNY 2847413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looking for recommendations for nursing tanks and bras! Searched posts but a lot were old so figured a new post would work :)</p> <p>I had some 2nd hand Target tanks from a friend with I had DD. She was end of June baby so I wore them a lot, sometimes a tank over or bra under when going outside. LO #2 is due in December so I won't be walking around outside in a tank. I figure I'll have a bra under, cardigan over, something like that. I ordered some from Old Navy, not sure if they're any good. Other options you liked?</p> <p>What about bras? I don't even know where to begin here! </p>
