Nursing tank questions
I'm going back to work next week and will need to focus in wearing clothes and undergarments that are easy to pump in. Here's my issue--I love nursing tanks and I am small chested so they work for me, except that you can see either my nipples or wrinkled breast pad through my shirts which is not the post partum professional Look I was going for. I have nursing bras that solve tht issue but im uncomfortable in them bc they make me cold and exposed when I nurse or pump and I recognize my flab more when I wear them!
Any recs to sole this issue? Have you tried a nursing tank that wears more like a bra? How about one with built I shape wear or other elasticity to make you look slimmer and hide the nursing pads?

Undercover Mama
attaches to your nursing bra, providing another (thin) layer
Sorry, that reply was sort of vague - was multitasking with a baby.
Watch the video on the undercover mama site on how they work. It was not completely intuitive to me once I ordered my first one (I have 3 now) but these things are lifesavers (esp when it comes to covering the tummy area) and provide a nice look for layering.
Must thank Katieg for introducing them to me. I bought my first one on amazon and then ordered directly from the company when they ran a discount.
Bravado makes a more supportive nursing tank, I believe. Expensive, though. I just bought a few of the bras from their Target line and I really love them. Gap sells the tanks and are having a 25% off sale today.
I have been wearing either a sweater with a bra or a tank with a cardi and scarf, which seems to hide the pads. I bought extra thin pads (Nuk brand) and they are definitely more discreet. I am going to ask for Bamboobies for Christmas (exciting, I know) which are apparently pretty invisible. I wear my cover when I pump so that no one gets to see the grossness underneath, including me.
This is perfect--thanks.
OOOH! I wonder if these are the same as the ones oneline!
I think it's this one:

Keep in mind I haven't actually nursed in it yet, but it seems comfy enough. I don't expect nursing bras to fit me as well as my other ones...it's not super padded but it has enough that you won't see anything going on underneath.
