What I Tested…
Embrace’s Soft Ribbed Nursing Tank Top ($62)
Why I Tested…
How I Tested…
I wore the tank top all day a few times a week for about three weeks, either as a bottom layer or on its own. I wore it with and without the removable padding.
Test Results…
Comfort/Quality. I’ve got enough discomfort going on postpartum — I want my tanks to be comfy, durable, and make me feel good. This top checked all the boxes thanks to a soft cotton blend that’s stretchy, snug, and feels great on the skin (and boobs). It’s stretchy enough to wear during pregnancy, too.
Style. You know it’s a win when you want to keep wearing it even after you’re done breastfeeding (I think I threw out most of my nursing tanks after my first). I love that these tank tops are ribbed, fitted, and flattering. They fit true to size and are great to wear year-round.
Support. The built-in bra is essential for nursing moms, especially if you’re a leaky mess and are constantly switching out nursing pads. I also love that it comes with removable padding, because since my boobs deflated back to their normal state (IYKYK), I like having some extra structure. Note: The material isn’t thin, but if you wear it without any padding, you will probably see some nipple.
Design. These tops have clasps at the front that you can easily unclip to breastfeed — even with the removable pad in. They also have adjustable straps.
Sidenotes…
Washing. The tops have held up well after going through the washing machine several times. I hang them up to dry, even though the instructions say to lay flat. I think as long as you skip the dryer, they should be fine (and they dry quickly).
Daily ribbed maternity tank. A great option if you don’t want the built-in bra — it’s the same soft material that stretches enough so you can easily pull down for nursing. ($42)
Colors. The lilac color is gorgeous, and while I like having the classic black (it also comes in cocoa brown and camel), I wish they had more fun colors.
Price. These tops are pricier than many nursing tank tops out there, but if you’re looking for something that’s cute and will last, then it’s well worth the investment.
