Target Nursing Tanks

With DS 2.5 years ago I loved my Target Gillian and whoever nursing tanks. I bought two new ones for this time around and it looks like they changed them? They are a lot more comfortable than before but they don't appear to have as much support and the few hours I wore it this mornign I kept pulling it up and undoing the clasp. 

Anyone else notice this? Or do they make different kinds that I just bought a different version from the ones I had last time?

I haven't tried them yet, or bought them, but they are the ones I was planning on getting. I did notice it seems like there are 3 or so different styles. Maybe that makes a difference?!

Oh no!!!  I LOVED my target tanks last time and planned on stocking up again this time (gave almost all of them to a friend just before getting pg myself).  Maybe I need to look for another alternative....

They are definitely not the same anymore.  And they're not as good.  Very sad!!

Quality has gone WAY down in them since I had DD :(  I bought one for the hospital since I got rid of all of mine when DD weaned (after 20 months of use they were just starting to look a little worn) and the new one is horrible! No support, and the stupid thing shrunk in length after I washed it! It barely hits my jeans and will do nothing to hide that pp muffin-top the first few months.  

Why do they always mess with a good thing? :(

To make more money! I am disappointed to read about this, I was planning on using target tanks.

I tried all three varieties a few days ago, and was super disappointed. They squished my boobs in all kinds of weird directions, were scratchy, and not particularly supportive either.

I did get a Gillian O'Malley nursing bra that seems ok, although I'm already in the 2XL (the biggest size), and I swear I'm not much bigger yet than my typical 36D. Dubious whether it'll fit once milk comes in.

I had some with DS and really liked them... I had the "full sling" style, which basically had two circles cut out of the inside layer... Now all I can find are the "side sling" versions, that just have that tiny little triangle of support on the outsides (that seems to want to cut straight across my breasts).  Not supportive and not comfortable.

BUT - I did get some tanks at Target that I do like --- they're actually made by Bravado for Target.  They're a stretchier material (which I'm hoping will help suck in the gut! and they seem to have decent support.  Only available in white and black, but I'll take that with comfort and support over pretty colors that I'll never wear because they suck!

I found this on Pinterest to make your own and I am going to try it.  I feel like you would be able to customize the fit you want, but since I haven't tried it yet, I don't know for sure... thought I'd share in case anyone was interested...

i absolutely LOVE the ones from Wal-Mart! 

Great support (and I'm currently a 40F) and definitely long enough (they cover my belly at 27 weeks)

I haven't seen them at wal-mart!!!  

 So those of you that used Target brand last time-have you found a decent replacement?  I need to start buying pretty soon.

They are definitely different.  I only bought one this time so I can see how I like it, before I buy any more...
