Bravado Nursing Tank

I can't think of a more versatile post-birth clothing item than these tanks! You can wear them under a regular shirt instead of a bra (especially helpful if you don't want to flash your post-baby belly while nursing, or to keep from getting drafty nursing in chilly weather), or alone. They're awesome to sleep in also - very comfortable with quick access for night time nursing. Having a few to wear after you give birth means you can wait until after your milk comes in to go shopping for nursing bras.

The price put me off a little at first but the quality is well worth it - I've been wearing mine for nearly two years and you'd never know it. The fabric has held up to innumerable washings and they haven't lost their shape or support.

My only complaint is that they don't have a sizing option for women who are very thin but large-breasted (what I wouldn't give for one of these in a 32 F!), or small chested but larger women. So if you're on one of these extremes you might not be able to get as ideal a fit as you like. Mine were more than worth the money despite the lack of a perfect size, though! (Posted on 6/30/10)

When was expecting, I went up to a 36F. It's pretty hard to find a comfortable bra that I like in a larger cup size, or at least I found that to be true.

I was over the moon excited to find this one! Finally something that fits, is really comfortable, can be worn while pregnant and it goes back to a regular size once washed so it's perfect for after baby and nursing as well.

The nursing clasps are easy to unsnap for discreet nursing and I love that it leaves my belly covered even if I lift my shirt. It is also great for a layered look and has a slimming effect after baby.

Like the above review, the price discouraged me initially but it really is worth it. It's comfortable for lounging and sleeping and has no underwire. If you have to wear a bra to bed after baby is born (I did) this is a great one.

Cons?
I find that under a tee shirt, I can sometimes get an "uno-boob" look happening where instead of two distinct breasts, they're just mashed up together. I also I find that being bigger chested, that this sometimes makes for sweaty cleavage as it has your breasts all snug. {too much info?!?}

But any kind of cons are outweighed by the fact that it's comfortable and supportive!! (Posted on 1/2/11)

I am a larger woman and although the fit isn't perfect (a bit tight overall), this is the best nursing tank I have tried. I prefer Bravado's hook (like on the Body Silk Seamless) rather than the circle fastener, as it can be awkward with one hand in the middle of the night or when you are rushing to feed a hungry baby. However, because of the non-hook it is more sleek and less nursing bra-ish. The tank provides excellent coverage and holds its shape well. (Posted on 1/2/11)
