Addictine has a 10-month-old daughter and a very saggy belly. (Alas, Bio Oil does stretch marks, not stretched skin. Boo hoo.)
While I'm not nursing as frequently as I was a few months ago, I still find myself in situations where the shirt must be raised and the stomach area must be hidden. (My daughter "the tank" tears and tugs at nursing covers until I have whiplash.)
I'm all for bra burning, but everything is tragically jiggly and I just feel better if it's all tucked snugly away.
Enter the Bravado! nursing bra tank, a.k.a. my second skin. Seriously, I live in this thing. It's comfortable, breathable and holds up the girls without underwire. (Great for sleeping in.) The super soft bamboo blend naturally wicks away moisture and dries quickly when you're puked or peed on.
The click system is a bit tricky but you soon get used to it and are able to cover back up with one hand. Ruching in the centre of the chest gives enough subtle detail to wear the bra as a tank under v-necks and cardigans. (Addictine has gargantuan nips so wearing it solo is out.)
Available at The Bay and Bravado! Designs ($55 for the cotton, $65 for the bamboo blend)
I need this so bad, but the price is a bit steep. May have to splurge. My girls (all 4) deserve it.

Remembering how much I hated nursing bras last time, I went and checked them out a month or so ago and fell in love with this. I took it home and tried it on and figured that yes, it would be the perfect solution, and a little shirt or cardi could also help hide the business a bit, too. I bought a couple more once I was sure I liked it, since I will have a whole year to wear them.

I only wore Bravado when I was nursing. I loved them!!!

I've been looking at this for a while now, but as with Kgirl, the price is prohibitive. I may have to check it out if the summer gets any hotter though. I hate wearing a tank under a t-shirt when it's super hot.

Target has a $17.99 version, which I could be persuaded to import for friends. I lived in them - I had about four, I think. See?
