I became a huge fan of Undercover Mama nursing shirts shortly after having my daughter. I purchased two after hearing about them, and have lived in them almost every day since they arrived. My collection of tanks has grown in size about 4 fold. While my nursing journey was not exactly what I hoped for with my daughter, I did become a dedicated pumping mama who committed to pumping daily for over 16 months. For myself modesty is important, so I was thrilled to have discovered these.
While pregnant my bra size increased, and after having my daughter it increased even more. Undercover Mama nursing shirts helped me keep things under control and at a modest level I liked thanks to the two different options of attaching the shirt to your bra. I was able to attach the shirt anywhere I wanted on my bra strap with the hook. This allowed me to put the shirt higher or lower as I needed it. It can also be hooked through the same part where the clasp of a nursing bra is located.Bra strap widths do very in size, and I never found this to be an issue with the hooks. They always stayed in place. You can also loop the elastic attachment over the clasp of a nursing bra to make unclasping the bra very easy for nursing or pumping.
My favourite part about Undercover Mama nursing shirt is that they keep my stomach covered while nursing or pumping. When my daughter did attempt to nurse she hated if I used a nursing cover. This way I felt a bit more covered up, and in control of things. There are even a slim mama shirt to help smooth things out after baby. I loved this option right after having my daughter because I did find it made a difference with how shirts laid over my stomach. I had the empty, baby pocket tummy for a little bit after my daughter, that shirt helped me feel more pulled together in confident in my look after baby.
I am currently 24 weeks pregnant, and I am also considered plus size in the world of all things fashion and clothing. I have found that these shirts fit true to size. I wear an extra large shirt normally, and that is what I order in all of my shirts. I have recently purchased a few double extra large to accommodate my expanding tummy during this pregnancy just in case a bit more room is needed. Especially if my tummy starts popping out the bottom of my shirts near the end, this way my tummy will remain covered because the length of these shirts is great. My original shirts that I purchased were a black and a white. Very basic, but since then I have added a lot of colour to my collection, I love the option now of being able to do a pop of a bold colour like red or yellow out from underneath any shirt I wear. It’s a great way to change up my wardrobe easily and have some fun with it.
Undercover Mama also has the best customer service I have ever experienced. One of the shirts I ordered came with some problem areas and the customer service team was quick to reply to my email and question. They truly went above and beyond what I expected, and only made me love this company even more.

disclosure: I received a sample of this product from Undercover Mama in order to facilitate this review. I adore these tanks, all words and opinions shared are my own.
I’ve never owned a nursing tank, but these look great! I would probably choose a simple neutral colour.
I so would have guessed that you’ve tried a nursing tank. I was not expecting that. I adore these for even when not nursing they are my go to laying tank too now.
Are they long enough if you have a long torso? That was my main complaint with the bravado tanks – this looks like a good alternative!
Definitely they are long enough! That was a concern of mine too. I’ve heard the same from friends of mine who wear them and also have long torsos, we’ve all never had an issue. Since you can adjust where it clips to on your strap if needed it makes a huge difference.
I am seeing the benefit of nursing shirts with my second and living in the city! I am always babywearing while with my 4 year old and it’s so much easier to pop my baby out of the wrap and nurse her, without having to take off and then retye!
Oh now I want to try these out while baby wearing. I’m going to be on a mission when our second arrives this fall to figure that out!
I’ve never owned a nursing tank before, so I think for my first one, I’d go with white. Goes with everything and great for layering.
I couldn’t agree more, white is a great neutral to start with.
I would love to have some neutral colors. I have a few and they are all bright colors.
Definitely add a few neutrals to the collection. I love that you went for bright colours first.
I don’t own one but would love a white one – got a little 3 wk old so I’ll be nursing for awhile 🙂
Congratulations on your little one. You’d love these.
On my third child (soon) and would love to try something different to make breasstfeeding that much easier:)
Congratulations on welcoming your third son soon! Good luck to you, thank you so much for entering.
I’ve never seen/tried these but I’m intrigued! I’d choose gray I think.
They are amazing. I love them for even when I’m not expecting or nursing. The gray is a great neutral.
I would get red or yellow!
I just got those two recently and I adore them. I wear the red one a lot.
i own 6 (i think). i absolutely love them. i think i’d like to get the mint or mustard yellow.
Denise you sound like me… I don’t want to count how many I have lol, dare I say I think its about 10. My new favourite is hte mustard yellow, and it’s great for all seasons.
My little guy is due in two weeks and I’m so hopeful I’ll be able to breastfeed. I had to pump with my daughter and it was difficult, but I don’t regret it for a moment. I think I’d choose white. 🙂
Two weeks! Just two weeks. Oh wow mama, can’t wait to hear the good news of your little guys arrival. I’m with you, I do not regret a moment of pumping since nursing didn’t work out for me. I’ll do it all over again with this kiddo if it comes down to it.
These look awesome! Would love to try with my babe due in a few weeks!
Karli… congratulations on being due in just a few weeks. They seriously are amazing!
These look amazing! I would love to try them.
P.s. I love the mint colour!
I love the mint one too! It has been my go to for this past spring.
Good luck Sarah, thank you so much for taking the time to enter.
I havent tried them before, but would like to! I’d probably start with white or black, but there are so many fun colors!
Kristina I can’t say enough good things about these nursing shirts. I am so glad that I went with black and white for my first two shirts. They are great basics for using with everything.
LOVE these tanks…34 weeks and would love some new colors to add! Seriously the only tanks I use! Thank you for the chance to win some!!!
I couldn’t agree more Nicole. I adore these tanks so much! Good luck, and congratulations. Love coming across other fellow expectant moms.
I bought my first Undercover Mama tank after having Lucas and loved it!! Would love another one if we have another!
Thanks for entering Ally. Best of luck to you. They are definitely great nursing shirts.
I love these shorts!! They’re a must have for nursing mamas
*shirts
I am 100% with you Steph. They are a must for any nursing, or pumping mama.
I would love a basic black!
You cannot go wrong with basic black!
I’ve been nursing my son for 7 1/2 months and I haven’t been able to find a nursing tank I like. I’d love to try one from undercover mama! I would pick a neutral color like white or black.
Cheers to you for nursing your son 7 1/2 months that is incredible! Nursing tanks are so frustrating, but I never was annoyed with these. Once you get the clasp figured out to which way you prefer, you’re golden!
These tanks are the best!!
I agree with you 100% Rachel.
I would love these tanks when I’m nursing my newborn!
You honestly cannot go wrong with these!
I LOVE these tanks! Hope I win 😉
Best of luck to you Tori, thank you so much for entering. I LOVE them too!
Would love to try one of these! Especially a neutral color that would go with anything.
I’ve never tried these tops – I would probably stick to a neutral colour to try it out, but a pop of unexpected colour is always fun!
I love the red one and no i have never had a tank like this before , would be awesome to try one out ! thanks for the chance !
