Thought I'd do a review of the 2 nursing tops. I am 5'10" and about 186 lbs (about 20 lbs over standard non preg weight ... 2 weeks post baby delivery). I am about a 40D when nursing. I got XLs for all tops.
Target -- somewhat uniboob but not terrible; the straps work well; openings are a LOT larger then the GM tops so pros are lots of boob to nurse with cons are it is less descrete. The standard top is longer then Motherhood maternity but not as long as GM LONG tops. It provides reasonable coverage and I am on the tall side. That said I prefer the GM top length. Would be more comfy then the GM tops to sleep in as the support is less and therefore not as tight as GM's. Easier then GM to open and close with one hand.
Glamor Mom -- I got the LONGS/Talls which I LOVE. Like these tops a lot. They are very supportive. Can open but not close with one hand. As said above they cover more of the boob so more descrete but still plenty of room. The adjustable straps stay up well. Not so comfy for sleeping in as are quite supportive.
FWIW I had a slew of Motherhood Maternity nursing tops last baby and they were less supportive, the straps slid a ton and they were too short and didn't cover my belly! They did show more clevage so that could be a pro for someone who was looking for that. DH liked it!
HTH someone!
