The jane tanks are EXACTLY what I've been looking for! I am definitely going to try one.

I was a 36B pre-pregnancy and am now a 38DD postpartum. What a wild ride! I mostly wear Bravado bras, but I do sometimes wish I had a little more support. I do think they make great sleep bras though, so they might be a good starter item.
The Target tanks were literally absurd on me. I don't think you'll have luck with them. Try one on in the store before buying if your interested in them. Glamourmom is better, but not great for those with bigger boosoms. They do have a bra version with thicker straps and more support which might be better. I think that when/if I drop back down to a D (or even better, a C) that my glamourmoms will become my favorite tops.
As for how many you'll need, that may depend on how leaky you are and how often you want to launder your bras. I have four nursing bras and two tanks in regular rotation. I was VERY leaky in the first three months and often went through three or more bras in one day! (Yes, I was using nursing pads, I just leaked right through them.) Going topless would have been extraordinarily messy for me. Unfortunately, leakage level is something you're just not going to know until your milk comes in. I would definitely plan to have at least three bras, though. One in the laundry, one on you, and one in reserve.
