bravado nursing tank questions

[Peanut1207]

I know a few of you are familiar with these products. I'm a 38D in motherhood nursing bras (when i'm done nursing they seem a tad too big but most of the time they are good). How does bravado fit? I'm planning on ordering a nursing tank. I have one from target that sucks, I only wear it to sleep because I have to wear a bra under it to get any support (and its a pita to wear the nursing tank and nursing bra...sorta defeats the purpose). Does this one really offer support? Can I really not wear a bra with it and still feel like the girls are where they should be (and not jiggling all over the place). Thanks. Oh and any sizing guidance would be great...I'm a nervous online clothes buyer!

I'm a 36DD, and IME, no nursing bra offers great support for large-breasted women. Yes, there's jigglage, and there's also the uni-boob effect, which I hate.

yes yes yes!! it fits like a bra because instead of just a shelf there is an actual original nursing bra inside. that was what sold me. i tried on the target ones and they were ridiculously unsupportive, as were the motherhood ones.

you would size it the same as you would size your bra so as long as you are currently wearing the right size, then you should be good to order online. ( the website is www.bravadodesigns.com )

i was NOT wearing the right size , so once i got fitted and got the proper size, it was awesome. such good quality and no silly little nursing holes to fit through. anyway, i know there is a measurement guide on the site, so get a friend to take those measurements and voila. :)

i think they have a contest going on right now too...i'm on the mailing list from when i did my own online shopping so i'm on the site periodically when they send emails to promote new prodcuts. i just love their stuff...i get a LOT of shower presents and gift cards from the site :) they have a couple new microfibre bra and pantie sets that are really pretty...

you'll love them. they are so much better than any of the other brands i tried...and i still wear mine now even after weaning last year. :) it's in great shape after a ton of abuse. i'll be getting more when the next decides to come along ...

hope that helps!

oh and for support for larger chests ( i was a 38 f ) the supreme was great for me. definitely the most supportive bra i've ever owned, even with out the underwire. and i ALWAYS used to wear underwire before pg. :)

Personally I did not like the Bravado nursing tank. I tried one on in the store. I'm a 34D and I felt like it left me showing way to much cleavage and didn't feel all that supported either and for $50 it better offer some darn good support. I ended up buying a nursing tank at Babies R Us that I am very happy with.

Babies R us? I don't think they even have nursing tanks at my BRU but I'll have to check...they seem to have expanded the nursing section a little bit so I'll check. $50 is steep but they have a couple on sale for $30 and I really need something, it's hot here and we are traveling to hotter places so I want to be comfy. I'm sick of the cami + bra thing and straps hanging out everywhere...I just want something that fits and is supportive! I'm not used to huge boobs, I was 36B before baby!

Mine was waaay too tight and yes, the cleavage was a bit much!! Waste of money for me anyway - the only thing I liked was the straps adjusted properly to fit me whereas all the other ones I had tried (gap (?) , target, motherhood maternity) were too long even after being adjusted the tightest.

ETA: Maybe I did not get the right size though!
