It might sound expensive but I bought for my wife and she is extremely happy so that is priceless. She used to complain how tedious used to be to pump the milk but now she can do thing while pumping. This is great product!
Easy to use now I don’t have to struggle holding my pumps with them constantly slipping off my nipples if a move a little fits really well it said to go for medium but I went large as I have a chubby back and it fits perfect isn’t uncomfortable at all definitely recommend I got a white one as I was too impatient to wait 2 extra days for the black one
I would strongly recommend this bra for medela electric express pump. Makes the pump complete hands free. The tight fit made my milk come out much faster. The chart suggested a small but I bought a medium and this fits perfect, I’m usually a 34B pre-pregnancy.
This is the best thing for pumping, to be able to be hands free. Absolutely love it.
Only thing that would be better is if there was some sort of cover for the nipple holes so that you could wear it as a normal bra.
Worked so well for me, it’s perfect. I really needed it as I used to hold my pump bottles by hand while pumping initially. This made my pumping sessions so stress free.
My Tommee Tippee pump fits in this bra perfectly. I bought the large size bra, I am size 16 (ish) and was 34GG before I was pregnant, currently 36HH post partum. It is quite tight but it is stretchy so it fits well and keeps the pump stable at the same time.
Very much worth it to try this with your regular pump before spending money on a wearable pump!
Got this for my Medela double pump. I would have to hold the cups before and even spilt milk a couple times but with the bra I can move around and get plenty done while I pump! Worth buying!
This completely upgrades the Medela pump system, making it hands free allows what has become precious time to be used more efficiently. Comfortable and rarely needs adjusting during expressing. Have been using regularly 6-8 x day for last 2 months and no issues with longevity so far. Need to be careful not to lean too far forward or backward to prevent leaks, but overall excellent product.
Using it with my Lansinoh double pump and it works perfectly. No need to hold the bottles for anything. Does come up a bit small but its perfect as it holds the bottles in place. I am 3 days PP so will get loose
Bought this in an L as I read other people with size FF breast bought this, and though it fits, an XL would have been desirable. The bottom of the bra rolls up and after a while this started giving me a bad back. I love the idea of being able to pump with my hands free and Admittedly am writing this as I pump: so definitely worth purchasing for that level of freedom.
Would very much recommend as it frees your hands so you can get on with things whilst pumping. Only advice I would give is to possibly get the bigger size to what the chart shows. I’m a size 10 and a 34D (prob a little bigger when engorged) and it was super tight.
Probably one of the best things I’ve ever bought. Not only do you get hands free pumping but it holds pump in exactly the right place. The boob tube style with front zip makes it easy to take off and put on with our needing to undress. Has a lot of stretch so size down if in between sizes. My bust is 98cm and the small holds everything securely without being uncomfortable.
I realise it sounds dramatic- but this product is life changing. As an exclusive pumper sitting for 20 minutes at a time holding my double breast pump on by hand was a nightmare, and made me feel like giving up. Since having this product I am able to play on my phone, have a drink, itch my face and see to my baby. Complete game changer!
I would definitely recommend buying this to assist in expressing milk. It means you can get on with other tasks whilst pumping rather than having to hold the shield on. My only issue is that the medium was more expensive than the small and large which seems ridiculous. I would also say size up as it can feel a bit tight so wish I’d gone for the large.
It fits well, first was a little a tricky to put on but i wish there was straps, which would give some more support! Luckily got this on offer but would recommend!
Bought for fianc.
Fiancs review:
I exclusively pump due to our baby never latching with a Tommee Tippee double electric breast pump and it fits the machine perfectly. Started off pumping 8 times a day, found my milk was decreasing over time, couldn’t keep up with my hungry baby. I pump 4 times a day now he is 2 months for 30mins a go and my baby has formula to top him up.
My baby wouldn’t latch so this way he still gets the goodness of my breast milk using a bottle instead of breast.
The feeding bra is amazing, it has increased my milk production as it suctions on more better than me holding it with 2 hands.
I can pump and wash bottles and do certain jobs standing upright whilst pumping. Saving me time during night feeds so I get a little bit extra sleep. I put the machine in my dressing gown pocket, attach it to my boobs/bra and off I go.
I’m a 38DD and bought a large, it does pinch and I stretch it to get it on and I should have bought an xl. A large is too small for me. Once it’s on it does the job though. Buy it if you pump constantly.
If you are a pumping mum you NEED THIS BANDEAU! Before I bought this I would have to hold the suction cups in place, meaning both of my hands were out of use while pumping, also I would lose the air tightness anytime I moved. With this bra top I can walk around, use my hands, anything except bend over. It keeps the suction cups in place so remains airtight throughout the pumping session. Absolutely genius invention! I will be buying one for every new mum as a baby shower gift!!!
Just purchased the second one size S and had bought a size M 3 weeks ago. I am originally 34B pre-pregnancy and about 36C+ breathfeeding. I needed to compress a lot using the size M and with size S it is really hand-free. My yield is a lot better with size S too using meleda harmany pump. I wish I knew this to help establing my yield weeks ago. Size S provides much better suction.
I use the Ardo Calypso breast pump and trying to squeeze the shields through the bra was impossible. I ended up pushing it from the inside out instead which is a little difficult every time BUT it is well worth it. The bra is sturdy, comfortable and feels great on my skin. I am a size 36C and bought Medium – it looked as if it was going to come up small but actually fits really snug and comfortably.
I highly recommend this bra if you are using a breast pump as being able to multitask and use my hands to do other things whilst pumping is an absolute game changer.
Overall, I am happy with my purchase because the material used with this bustier is with quality and it is comfortable. Definitely a game changer when it comes to pumping breastmilk! Lastly, the price made me smile because from 25 it went down to 16.99 only!
I had to rerun mine I bought it in size Medium and I am a size small. Obviously with breastfeeding my breasts are larger so I bought a medium. This was so small it could not fit. I had to return it and buy a different make. But the idea is brilliant and I have been using the other make now since the day I got it. Only problem with this particular one is if you replace the valve on the medela pump you need to make sure the shield connects off as the hole is to small and the whole shield will not fit through it.
This hands free bra for pumping is perfect. I am a size 18 (pre pregnancy) so my breasts are definitely in the 20/22 category now I brought the Large. This size was perfect I was worried it would be too tight but the material stretches lovely. It’s a super soft material and I would love a normal bra in this material!! The box is lovely with some instructions, not that instructions are needed but with baby brain or sleep deprivation the instructions are helpful. I will definitely buy the black as well and will give as a gift for a baby shower if they decide to breast feed. Wonderful product and carefully thought out.
Makes life a great deal easier if you are exclusively pumping like me! I was sceptical this would fit at first as I have a large bust (H cup) but it is brilliant, an absolute life saver! I would recommend the manufacturers consider the addition of straps for a little extra support but other wise it is an excellent product.
I am a size 38FF/G and the large size only just fits, it’s a bit of a squeeze. I would definitely not recommend this to anyone who is a larger size (it’s a shame medela don’t make a bigger size!) The bra works well and makes pumping more discrete and it’s so much better to pump with free hands. If you are pumping only a couple of times a day this is definitely a good option. If you are exclusively pumping there are other options that you can wear as an all-day bra which I have found to be cheaper and much more convenient.
Excellent concept and probably the best thing I’ve bought during maternity. Expressing can take a lot of time and busy mums know that time is short! So being hands free has made a massive difference and I can get things done & not feel overwhelmed. Agree that the stretch does loosen after a while – medala could easily design the bra to have additional hooks like regular bras for this purpose. However I didn’t find it too much of a problem. Highly recommend for busy mums!
The material and quality of this bra could be improved dramatically as it’s a bit poor for the price. The bra bobbles so easily even after one wash and one use – this was very disappointing. Besides this the bra has been really useful for double pumping as I’m not sat in one place holding both bottles in place.
Fits perfectly, the breast pumps I use are difficult to get through the holes. Holes are literally the size of a pound coin however stretch a little. I had to take the flange off the pump, put it through the holes and onto my breasts then re-attach it to the pump. All in all is amazing and worth the money! Looks funny with my nipples popping out though. Makes me chuckle
I’m combi feeding so go between expressing so my hubby can bottle feed and feeding from the breast, after a few weeks I was struggling to get the time to express. This bra is amazing, it means I can do stuff around the house and pump at the same time. I have a medela single electric pump but also a tommee tippee pump which fits the bra too. I measure as a size small but decided after reading reviews to buy the medium and it fits perfect.
Ordered a large size based on previous reviews and glad I did. Usually a size 12 UK. I am not large breasted but the L is still very snug. I don’t mind as such because it holds the breast pump and funnel in place. Good quality and can see this lasting.
I’ve had it for a couple of weeks, and for me it’s a game changer. Makes pumping a much nicer experience. I agree with other reviewers who said it looks funny, and haven’t had it for long enough to determine whether it loses shape/expands too much (as I’ve seen on one review), but so far I can’t fault it. It’s super comfortable to wear, holds everything in place, and does the job! I use it with a Medela Swing Flex pump (single sided). I would definitely recommend getting it if you use anything similar, to free yourself from holding the bottle while pumping (with the medela I can walk around and do stuff now, as the pump’s motor is a tiny machine that, when battery operated, can be clipped onto the bra).
I don’t normally leave reviews but felt compelled to with this nursing bra because it is an absolute life saver. I use the Medela electric pump, and was finding it to be an absolute pain because if you slip just slightly you spill valuable milk, plus your hands are glued to the pumps so you are incapacitated for however long you pump for. This bra means you have your hands back and you don’t spill milk. The fit is snug but really comfortable and most importantly keeps the flanges in place. I am a 36C and got a medium. I highly highly recommend for your sanity as well as freedom!
I am a working mother who chose to breastfeed the baby until he is 12 months old. I went back to work when my baby was 6 months old. Here is when I use it:
– in the morning while applying make up. At 6 months of age babies become very alert and curious of their surroundings. Breastfeeding takes longer than pumping and feeding from the bottle, as the baby pauses frequently and moves his head constantly to look at things around him. I express 250 mls over 20 minutes while getting ready for work and give him the bottle before I leave for the day.
– I pump three times at work for 20 minutes, meaning I spend an hour doing it. Using the bra means I can still work in the lactation room while pumping.
The only downside with this multitasking approach is that I cannot bend forward as milk will spill. Otherwise, it works very well.
I followed the sizing chart for my bra size and got the medium, which looked too small when I first looked but as it is v stretchy and designed to be a tight fit to hold the pump against my body, it is all fine. I managed to do it up without any help, which is lucky as my other half thinks this is all very hilarious and couldn’t have helped due to his laughing too much!
I wish I’d got this a week or two ago – pumping is so time consuming when you’re holding the pumps against your body and can’t do anything else!
Great buy, but I will also purchase a generic brand for my travel pump.
