View Full Version : Anyone try the Bravado Nursing Tank?

Especially larger sizes?

I found that even though they should, the Glamourmom tanks never fit right. I would love to have a fairly supportive tank top to wear.

I did buy one of these in black and so far it definitely seems to fit better than the Glamourmom tank ever did. But I haven't done more than tried it on. Before I get it in the other colors (although I think it only comes in three colors in my size! 40 F/G), I thought I'd see if anyone has any IRL experience?

I'm not as large as you... I'm a 30/32 D. But they have a moulded cup inside so they are really supportive. I hated the glamourmom's... tried one.

Let me just say that they are almost all I wear and have worn for 16 1/2 months straight. In the beginning, they were great because they kept some pressure on my incision. Then they were great for nursing in public since I could put them under my other shirts and not expose my belly while nursing. Now, they are just comfortable... very very comfortable. I also love the full drop down... I can't stand that cut out/bottle boobie effect.

Do you have anywhere near you where you could try one on?

I don't think anyone is going to have them instock to try, but it's great to hear that you've been happy with them. The one I did get to try seemed pretty decent, but I know that can change once you finish the "test run"!

I was always pulling the Glamourmom tank down (I know they have a longer one now, so that part might be better) and I hated those darn cut out too. They never seemed to be in quite the right place! :(

I think this may very well work. I wasn't sure if the size would be good, but I think it will be fine. But I think I might hold off this time (I was a little too gung ho last time!) and wait and stick with what I have so far. Unless of course I come across a great deal. Then I'll have to go ahead and get the other colors!

I have the Target ones and they are all I have worn for nearly 15 months! I have a couple Glamourmoms that I like, but every time I wore them I got a plugged duct. So something just wasn't hitting me right.

I'm a 38 D/E and I wear a Large in the Target tank. The XL would probably fit you.

Digging up this thread to ask if anyone has problems with the bra part of the Bravado tank. With all of my Bravado bras, I had permanent elastic scrunching problems in the front (the band wouldn't lay flat anymore), which made them kind of uncomfortable. Will the same thing happen with the tank?

Thanks

I have had that happen and typically because the straps are being tightened too much (something I often do anyway). Keep in mind that they are only expected to support 10%... the band gives 90% support on a good bra. Try loosening them, giving them a wash and seeing if it is better...

I also lay flat dry them, which prevents the elastic from getting all crappy and rippled. (easy for me since I have a cabinet dryer with the lay flat dry top part)
