Breastpump "hands free" bra thing? How to express comfortably?

5 replies

Anyone used a breastpump bra? Or have any other suggestions as to how to double pump comfortably? I'm using a Medela Symphony but I find sitting bolt upright clutching two bottles to my boosooooms for 20 minutes at a time extremely uncomfortable and am thinking of getting something like this Breastpump Bra or this Breastpump support bustier. However neither have any reviews (and both look very weird!) so I'm not sure if I'd be wasting my money.

Suggestions welcome - thanks!

You can do it with hairbands. Let me find the link...

Aha - Kellymom has it as usual

I have a pump in style which has a hands free conversion set that clips to your bra.

I just clipped my bra back up over the pump

I did buy something like the bustier about 6 years ago but measured myself up for it then took fenugreek and went up 2 cup sizes so couldn't even do the zip up let alone get the pumps in as well Shock

I'm using Medela Symphony hands-free with my own version of a breast pump bra.

I cut two small holes in a very old and tatty Bravado feeding bra. I can fit the 'funnels' under the bra (so now I look like a Fem-bot from the Austin Powers movie) and then fit the collection bottles to them.

Works a treat. I am expressing right now as I am MNing!

Hairbands! Wow! I'm not sure I'm dexterous enough for that but it's very clever. I might try fashioning something from an old bra - had been secretly considering that already and now TeaandCake has convinced me to have a go.
