Hands free pumping bra
Has anybody used this? I was thinking of getting one but it just doesn't look like it would work very well. I think it'd have to be really strong in order to hold the bottle in the proper position for pumping.

Re: Hands free pumping bra
I bought the medela one yesterday and it worked great. It was a little annoying to zip up and position at first. But I've since used it three times and I'm getting used to it and love the fact that I can multitask especially since ill be returning to work on Monday. It also hasn't decreased the amount that I'm able to pump.

The Simple Wishes one is SOOOO much better. I suggest returning this one if you can and getting the Simple Wishes one if possible. So much more comfortable and supportive - holds the bottles much better and fits much better.

As I posted above, the Simple Wishes brand holds the bottles in the proper position and works great. I get way more milk when I use it than when I hold the bottles. And my hands are free!

Hands free pumping bra
I used the medela one. Great to be hands free but it took me a little bit to zip it.

Re: Hands free pumping bra
I've used the Medela one for two children - it also starts to stretch a bit making the set-up and zippering-up a bit easier. I've had no problems lining up the bottles. Good luck!

Never tried the Medela brand but Someone bought this for me and it was so helpful!!! Made pumping so much easier for me.

Re: Hands free pumping bra
I did and it was the greatest thing ever! Especially since I was caring for my 2.5 year old as well as a new baby. It was great to be able to move around and do some other things while I was pumping.
I must warn you though, it is a sight to see. I still remember the look on DHs face when he got home and saw me with that contraption on 
eta: I had the Simple Wishes one and it worked great.

Use the medela one also. Bought it at BBB where they price matched Amazon. Works great, using it right now lol. No issues with positioning bottles or losing milk, etc. Really makes thing a lot easier and allows me to pump in my office while doing some work.

Hands free pumping bra
I bought a simple wishes and found the spacing awkward for me. I bought a super cheap sports bra and cut two holes in it where I needed it. Worked better. Maybe I have weirdly shaped boobs

Me too! It changed my life. I used to dread pumping but then looked forward to it as that became my iPad surfing time :)

Re: Hands free pumping bra
Can anyone tell me about Simple Wishes sizing? Does it run true to size? I hated pumping last time and never had a hands free bra. I'm going to try to be better with pumping to build a freezer stash this time, and this sounds like it would help!!

Re: Hands free pumping bra
I made my own... cut a slit on each side of an old bra and voila, free pumping bra
