Hands free pumping bra

Where can I buy one that is not Babies R Us, BBB or Target? At work and the zipper on mine just broke so I rigged it closed with safety pins/clips but its not working great. I checked with my local target and BRU and neither have my size in stock to pick up today. Any other big chains sell them? I am not on LI so local suggestions wont work. Thanks!

Worst case I'll cut slits in a sports bra to hold me over till an online order can get delivered, but I really was hoping for something easier since I pump 3x a day at work and its not ideal to try and get things over my head. Open to other ideas/suggestions as well!

Re: Hands free pumping bra

Have you tried binder clips?

I would order the simple wishes hands free bra off amazon - it's amazing. The medela one I have is awful. I had to use binder clips to make it snug enough to hold the bottles properly.

Going to try binder clips this time, thanks! The one that broke was Medela, I will look into your suggestion for the new one, I wasn't crazy about the Medela either.

Do you ladies find that the size chart for simple wishes is accurate? I am a 36E which according to their chart puts me as xs/s/m which makes me nervous. I am never xs/s in anything, especially boob related!!

I have the smaller one but my regular size is no where near yours, even when nursing. I will say it's very adjustable bc the back panel velcros on both sides so you can move it further or closer together if that makes sense.

Love this bra! I have both...Simple Wishes I leave at work and the Medela for home. Simple Wishes is much better and more comfortable. It comes with an extender piece if you're in between sizes. And there's a velcro attachment on the back that lets you adjust to your size specifically.

That's what I did. I actually used an old tank top that had a bra in it and then cut the slits. Very cost effective.

I followed the size chart and got the xs/s/m. The back panel can be adjusted significantly to accommodate a range of sizes and there is an optional front zip in panel to give extra room there as well. I would follow the size chart it seems to be right!

I got the simple wishes, I got the XL because I'm a 38 GGG-HHH depending on the day. Works great for me.
