Wearable pump

Hi, I've recently had my 2nd child and shes struggling to breast feed well due to a tongue tie that shes got an appointment for in a few weeks. Due to that I've been exclusively pumping using my tommee tippee made for me double pump. However I feel that I'm spending too much time sitting and pumping so I wanted to get a wearable pump so I can cook or drive whilst I'm pumping. I'm currently wear 36H bra and was wondering what's a good wearable pump that can be used for someone with a large chest.
Thank you in advance.

Have you tried a Hospital grade pump @Bubblegum21415? You might be able to hire one for a month?

What's the best hospital grade pump where I will still be able to move about?

I had an Elvie one and it was rubbish. I used a Tommy tippee handheld one that was really cheap. It wasn’t wearable but I pumped in 10 mins and got more than 40 mins on the Elvie.

squeezing and holding the trigger for a couple of seconds is really effective. I’ve pumped at conferences, on trains, planes, the side of a ski slope. So not wearable, but the best option in my opinion and no wires.

No but you'd probably be able to pump enough out that you didn't need to move around.

I bought a Hospital grade pump on eBay (with a closed system) and could pump enough whilst DC2 was feeding in the other side and for five minutes or so after she's fed.

I use an Elvie on the go and love it but it’s quite bulky if you already have a big chest
