3 underwire that I wear to work or under nice clothes 3 decent non-underwire t-shirt bras 4 cheap, comfy bras that I wore around the house and to sleep in when my babies were young (I should really get rid of these now)
I chose 4 in the poll, because I have 4 real nursing bras (2 Bravado - black and cream, 2 cheapies from Target - gray and cream); but I also have 3 or 4 nursing tanks from Target. I liked the tanks better right after her birth, at the beginning of my leave. Now, they feel a little boxy, and I don’t think I’d ever be comfortable wearing them to work - they show too much to be worn with only a cardigan or jacket, and they’re too bulky to be worn beneath another shirt.
I also have a couple cheap Target sleep nursing bras and a bunch of hand-me-downs. The inherited stuff fits poorly, so I need to get a couple more of my own and get rid of them. The Target sleep bras are pretty good, though one of mine has a small rip on the seam already. I think I ripped it when trying to take it off the wrong way, so it’s not necessarily a sign of the quality.
I own two but also own 8 pea in the pod nursing tanks from MM, which were my favorite. I literally wore one every day for the 17 months I BF. I think I wore the bras under 5 times.

I have two Anita nursing bras, but only one fits well. I've decided that wearing my regular demi cut bras is just as easy as using a nursing bra. I just lift my breast over the top of the cup. Plus, they're more supportive than the nursing bras and they have better lining in case I leak through my breast pads (which happens way more often than it should).
I have 2 nursing bras and 9 nursing tanks. I wear the 5 from DD, which are now well loved, to bed and around the house. I bought 4 new ones when pg with DS and that's what I wear to work most days. The nursing bras are mainly for the weekends if I wear a dress or something too low cut to wear a tank underneath.
I still need to wear nursing pads because when DS nurses on one side, I still let down on the other.
