    I live in my Bonds ones, and have quite a few and wear them day and night... I am a singlet gal too... Have worn one every day for years.... I have not tried any others.

    I've been looking for some bf singlets but not had any luck - I find they all lack enough support for my boobs. So far I've tried the lovable and bonds ones but not bought any. Seems silly to buy special breastfeeding tops and then have to wear a maternity bra under them anyway so ill hold off till I find something more supportive. Maybe I'll give the target ones a try next time I'm near a store!

    I have tried both Bonds and Target singlets and love them both! I probably prefer Bonds though. BTW, the cheapest place to buy them that I have found is Big W.

    thaks guys

    I have ordered a couple of the glamourmom ones, to see how they go.

    target here seems to be really slack in the maternity department - I went last week but they only had one size, and two different colours!

    i'll keep an eye our for bonds and loveable - where can you get the loveable ones, I cant find them on line?

    brunette - I hope to wear them without a bra, i hate maternity bras, the staps are so thick, hence stocking up on soem singlets with the in built bra/shelving. May nto be the best shape, but hey my boobs arent for that kind of showing anymore LOL!!!

    Top Secret Maternity tops, many of their styles are what i would call singlet tops (spaghetti straps). i like their privacy layer. more expensive but i think it would have been worth it IF i had bought them at the START of our breastfeeding journey.

    i have been wearing the Lovable Maternity Camisoles, drop down cups, inbuilt shelf bra type. i bought them from brasnthings and innerwear warehouse, plus mother's direct (ABA website) stock them i think. anyhoo, i was a DD and am now a C, suppport is ok. but i am after a feeding top with more privacy now. The lovable singlets do hide your tummy, but expose the top of your breast.

    recently i went searching, checked out
    - Bonds Maternity Singlet - has inbuilt soft cups, nothing at the back for support
    - Target Maternity Singlet - had actual maternity bra sewn into it, i found it difficult to do up the hooks, under the back of the singlet. Felt awkward when i put cups down, like the soft cups were getting in the way of feeding.
    i didn't like either enough to buy them.

    nursing wear had more bf-ing singlets (and bf-ing tankinis too).
    whimsey is another site i saw.

    ended up getting bf-ing collared tops at nuvo maternity, two for $80, you wear maternity bra UNDERNEATH them, they have a trick front, and hole at nipple line to feed from. this way, my tummy AND top of breast is covered. They have a cap sleeve - for those of us with bigger tops of arms.

    moms in mind is another place to look (singapore site).

    Gigi- wow, thankyou for that - i just checked out top secret - but the things I like are on clearance and there are none left in my size!

    I agree though - one or two pieces like that and a few singlets should see me through my breastfeeding journey. i'll bookmark that one!

    talk about service!

    I ordered some singlets yesterday afternoon from nursingwear and they have already arrived!

    Cheaper than in the stores too! Great quality cotton too, I am a very happy girl today!

    Kitten, can you put down a review of them please? (if you have time).

    like brand, type of feeding access, how userfriendly to use when you're holding your child, how supportive they are, etc.

    would love to hear your thoughts on whatever you got from NursingWear. There are a few items i am interested in on that site too.

    thanks
