    Aldi maternity tanks and leggings ANYONE TRIED?

    Hello!

    Has anyone tried on the maternity singlets and leggings at Aldi? They came on sale today, and I have a little hidden money stashed away so maybe I can buy a pair of each, if the fit seems comfy and good? What do you think?

    Do the leggings cut you in half or sit under or over belly??

    The singlets, how are they for E+ size boobs? I'm a size 14-18 in tops thanks to my boobs

    i'm subbing cause I would also be keen. also I'm the same size boobs but smaller frame, and been having so much trouble getting tops at all let along maternity ones with support. so hope someone answers, or if you do try one let me know =)

    i haven' t seen these ones, but bought couple of tops from them last year. they were dodgy, the material was too thin and the top overlapping material (they were similar to bub2bub style) wasn't long enough for bigger boobs and sat around nipple height instead of going below the boob. mine went to the sewing room for scrap material. interested to hear if these are any better

    Come on girls there must be someone out there who's tried the new ones? These ones are on the website, they look like a bonds singlet in shape, and unhook from the shoulder, not overlap style. Going tomorrow but it is 50km drive ugh

    i could go check them out, but for me its a 30km drive... and I'm not even confident my Aldi would have them...


    just checked out the website, they look ok...i like the thicker straps, cause I know the spagetti straps dont do anything or me so perhaps there is potiential for good bb support.

    Don't go out of your way to check them out though.

    I'm not stressed about hidden support I'll just rip that out as it's always too small and I can't go without a bra anyways, so the support would just get in the way feeding.

    But the waist on the leggings will be interesting, especcially as you can't try clothes on in Aldi

    Aldi is approximately 70 metres from my office. I'll be back in a minute to give you all a report!

    Right, I'm back (with a little chocolate for me!)

    Singlets - The material looks very stretchy so they would definately accomodate those of us with a larger bust. There is no hidden support. It's more like a mans chesty bonds. There are two press studs at the top of the arm straps to allow you to pull the front down. But I'm not sure given how high the neck is whether it would come down enough to expose the whole boob. The material is quite thin so I'm not sure it would last years and years. But for the price, it's ok.

    Leggings - none left here so couldn't check for you. However the picture that was on an empty packet seemed to indicate that the waist was above the belly button.

    From one Fiona to another... Thanks very much! Sounds like they'll definitely do the trick for some essentials even if they don't last till feeding. Hopefully the legging will accomodate the belly buldge, will see in the morning!

    I went and got a couple. I figured even for the length I'll use them. I got myself a 12, really nice and comfy, a tiny bit tight under the arms (ill blame my boobs =P) But they are ok, obviously what you get for $10.
