Hi Heather,
You owe it to your readers to check out and review the Glamourmom Full Bust Top. I don’t know any top that has an adjustable bra band. The reveiws on Amazon are right! It blows away the Bravado IMHO

They are great. I bought Black to start but thinking of getting two more while still nursing. I really like the Grape but can’t make up my mind on the other color. I like the Dark Blue, the Chocolate, the Heather Grey, and the White. Can one of you rookie moms help me out? I’d get them all but my husband would kill me.

@Julie,
Sounds great. The glamourmom tanks I have do not have that feature.

Found this Post-Bought both a Bravado Tank and a Glamourmom Full Busted Top. Returned the Bravado after trying on both. The adjustable band of the Glamourmom was the big difference.

LOVE this post. I bought a couple of the Gap nursing tanks and don’t recommend them. The clasps are not good and after just a couple months of wear one finally wore out. For a regular nursing bra, however, I do recommend the Bravada Basics line that Target has. I have one and absolutely love it. I wanted the “real” Bravada bra but this was much more affordable and soooo comfortable.

Last time I loved the bravado ones. But now I’m in between sizes. And my old ones, well. Let’s just say those clasps loosen up and after 2 years of use they come undone when you least expect it.

This time I’m all over the yummie tummies. My boobs are big enough that I get uniboob anyway. It doesn’t pull in my belly much but definitely helps smooth out the muffin top.

I hate the glamormoms. I have two transition tanks that I bought on baby steals and only wear them because I might as well get something out of the money I spent. The boob holes are too far apart for me so I always have to adjust to find my nipples in them.

I wore the hell out of Momzelle tops (like the boob but the line is up a little higher so sometimes just looks like empire waist, though not really) last time too. Now I’m so sick of wearing anything that screams nursing that I just wear a lot of cowls neck shirts over the yummie tummie

Love this Heather!! I actually am just back to normal (yet veeery stretched out) tops. Half the time I’m showing lots and lots of cleavage….which is why I rely heavily on cute nursing bras. (Gotta be honest – as a previous AA girl, I’m l-o-v-i-n-g the size Ders now.)

But I’m still battling the pooch…and do hate the uni-boob as you mentioned. Have you tried this? I’m soooo curious: http://www.yummielife.com/lillie-bottom.html

For cold weather, I also did layers — pull the tank down, pull the outer layer up. For warm weather, I wore any top with elastic-waistband skirts that were long enough to pull up and cover my belly when I sat down to nurse. I would pull up both the top and the skirt. I don’t like my chest or my belly to be exposed.

I just wore a regular Target long and lean tank top under everything while nursing. I would pull the outer layer up and the tank top down and nurse. It was simple, covered my chest and belly, and way more arrordable at $8 a tank!
Having said that, I never tried a real nursing tank, so maybe I was totally missing out and didn’t know it
