With stunning style and a full bra inside, The Essential Nursing Bra Tank was designed to make moms feel fabulous inside and out! Its stylish enough dress up with a blazer when going out, yet comfy enough to lounge in. It can even be worn during pregnancy because the fabric of the garment and the bra inside comfortably stretch, while retaining their shape after washing, making it an ideal maternity and postpartum garment as well. This item is also available in black, dark plum, white, tiger lily and chocolate.

Love this tank! I bought it in 2 colors and plan to buy it in 2 more. It is true to size and very flattering to my new enormous bust. Fine on it's own or nice under a tshirt or over shirt. Only a few bad points- there's definitely a learning curve on the nursing clip (at least to use it with only one hand). Also, I find I have to adjust my breasts to get the built in bra to fit correctly. Not so desirable in public, but I've managed thus far. Amazing support once I get them in right! I am currently an F cup, so that is saying a lot :) Lastly, I accidentally threw them in the dryer and it left milk stains. They washed out, but just an FYI that they do need to line dry. That's what the tag says, it was my mistake. Overall, I would highly recommend these. Their support and versitility make them my favorite nursing tank and a staple of my wardrobe.

I love my Bravado tank, but it's not the Dark Plum one I ordered here. Despite measuring and re-measuring following the instructions on the Bravado website, I still ordered the wrong size. It gapped under my arms. I wasn't sure if it was too big or too small. I found another one I could actually try on and discovered the first was too small. The bigger one fit perfectly. Great support. Great for nursing while babywearing. I wish I had one for every day of the week. But apparently Bravado has moved the production of its tanks from Mexico to China. I will therefore not be purchasing anymore. If I come across any older, Mexican-made ones, I will definitely buy them!

I can only comment on the apparent quality and appearance of the tank thus far, as it doesn't fit... It looks great - color, material, workmanship etc. But, my breast size hasn't increased much during this pregnancy like it did before, so the cups of the tanks are way too big (I go between a 36 B/C in most brands)... The material underneath bunches terribly. I assume my breast size will increase once I have my baby and my milk comes in, so I am holding onto this to try PP. I like the tank and hope it fits... But I am surprised the cups run so large, especially since I don't consider myself especially small chested yet this is the smallest cup size available.

pros: really, really comfy. actually supportive. a flattering, stylish nursing tank. long enough to hit at the hip. comes in lots of colors (I've got black, dark teal-blue, brown & white). easy to open with one hand. clasps don't break/wear out even after 2+ years of heavy use! cons: it's a little low-cut to wear solo (if you're big-chested). also, i wore mine while pregnant and stretched it waaaay out, so although it's billed as being a good "transitioning" tank, i'd say its' primary utility is as a nursing/post-partum tank (that said i still absolutely rec'd!).

I love this tank! I didn't have very high hopes because I've never been able to wear tanks of any kind with built in bras since they provided too little support, but this is just like wearing one of my nursing bras. I'm currently wearing a 36DD, and while it's definitely not as supportive as an underwire, I will wear it in public without a bra. It shows quite a bit of cleavage, though, so I only wear it under other things. It's incredibly comfortable, and I've slept in it a couple times as well. I'm actually considering getting ones to wear after I finish nursing.

I really enjoyed the Bravado nursing bras I purchased so I decided to try the nursing tank. I do enjoy it very much - makes nursing on the go easy as I'm not flashing everyone my stomach. Only thing different on the tank than the bras is the clasp. The clasps on the bras are much easier to manage than on the tank. You have to "thread" the clip through a hole to snap it in place - this takes a while to master. On the bras you are able to clasp the pieces together much easier. I would recommend this product.

This is a must-have for a nursing mother. Once I put it on, I don't want to wear anything else, so convenient, so supportive and so comfortable. I used to buy nursing wear of cheap brands (not so cheap though!) at big chains and hate them all whenever I put them on, especially after several times of wash. However, I personally like the old design, which shows less the boobs and has less room around the waist, of the tank top, and I wish Bravado could put it back to the market.

When I first started nursing, this was my least favorite of the nursing tanks I had purchased. I didn't like the fact that my breast was completely unsupported and exposed once I opened the nursing flap. After two years of hard use, my opinion is very different. I've just purchased two more because the one I started with has held up very well. I still looks good and fits well now that my belly is gone. These give great support and don't bite into my chest after hours of wear.

Question: I am 34 weeks pregnant and currently a 38C. I started out a 36B. I'm guessing after the baby I'll be a 38C/D, but that size isn't offered. Please help.

Answer: Unfortunately Bravado does not offer the tank in cup size C/D. They have 38 B/C and 38 D/E instead, so you may have to go a bit smaller or a bit bigger in cup size.

Question: How do I order the correct size? ...I have already had my baby a week ago.

Answer: The Essential Nursing Bra Tank by Bravado is sized according to bra size. It was designed as a full support bra first and then a tank around it. Simply choose your current bra size. Since you just had your new baby, you may be experiencing some fluctuations in your bra size. If you are still unsure, measure your bust with a tape measure and then email that information to us and we can help recommend a size for you.

It all began with a leopard-print bra and 2 moms...

That first leopard-print bra was worn for 48 hours straight, and is now called the Original Nursing Bra - still our best-seller, over 15 years later! From those small beginnings with an idea around a kitchen table, Bravado quickly built a strong reputation as having comfortable, stylish, and quality nursing bras. Lactation Consultants, Midwives, Childbirth Educators and others in the healthcare community quickly started recommending our products to their moms, and still do to this day. Now, Bravado Designs' products are worn and loved my moms worldwide, including celebrity moms like Angelina Jolie, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jennifer Garner and Jessica Alba. Although many things have changed since our beginnings all those years ago, one thing never will: our commitment to bolster and enhance the self-esteem of pregnant and nursing moms.
