Pumping and business casual office

Going back to work in 2 weeks and I'm going to be pumping 3x a day. I work in the city. My office is business casual. What do you suggest wearing. I'm very busty and I've lost all of my pregnancy weight except in my boobs which are ginormous. I'm going shopping next weekend and trying to figure out what would be the easiest to wear so I can wip out my boobs without getting completely undressed. Button down shirts don't work with my boobs.

Also the hands free pumping bra do you wear it at work and if so do you just wear a nursing bra over it. I'm so confused.

Get tanks that you can easily pull down - not up. I would pull up a blouse and pull down a tank.

I second tanks. i wear a nursing tank under all my clothes. I wear loose fitting blouses that I can just pull up (and then pull down my tank). No dresses except a v-neck one that is loose otherwise I'd have to strip to pump LOL! Lots of skirts and short sleeve or sleeveless blouses for the summer.

I bought these tanks:

they attach to your nursing bra and i wear them under everything and all you do is un clip them and your nursing bra.

I used a hands free bra when pumping at work. Its so much easier than holding the pump the whole time

This is what I did. Then the shirt over would cover most of my exposed boob

Like the PPs said, anything that you can pull down. Wrap tops and dresses are great for that. Nursing tanks with cardigans are good too. Anything stretchy and v-neck.
For the pumping bra- you wear your reg nursing bra, pull the panel down, then put the pumping bra on top of that with the pump shields attached.
GL!!!

i wore a nursing bra every day under my shirts. i just wore a simple cotton shirt, that i would lift up, unhook the nursing bra straps, strap around the pumping bra and hook the shields up and go! good luck. you'll get the hang of it after a few days Chat Icon

I just wear shirts that can lift up. I then unhook my nursing bra and put on the pumping bra. I do use my nursing cover just to be extra safe
