Hands-Free Pumping Bra - Comfortable, Adjustable, Customizable - Converts Nursing Bra or Maternity Bra to Breast Pump Bra

I haven't had the best luck with finding a nursing bra. I tried the Medela for a day, it wasn't comfortable and the zipper broke after 2 uses. Then I did the whole home hack and cut holes in my sports bra. I used that for 6 months. Then after being back at work a few months and getting tired of having to remove my shirt and bra every time I decided I needed a better way. Having the bad experience with the Medela one turned me off to buying a pumping bra, but I'm SUPER glad I gave this one a chance. I'll elaborate on what makes this better than the Medela and why I am in love with it (I'm uploading a few pics that help). The positives: -Perfect fit: This is what makes this the best bra out there. The other positives are just bonus. This had a few different features that will help almost anyone get a great fit. First, the back panel of the bra has a Velcro panel, so you can make it tighter or looser to fit perfect. I am a 36D right now, I ended up moving the sides in about an inch on each side and it fits perfect! There's also a small cloth section with a zipper on each side that you can zip into the middle. This will spread the nipple holes a little wider if your breasts are further apart. I didn't use this section, but I can imagine it would be helpful for some. With the Medela pumping bra there is no areas you can adjust. According to their sizing chart I was at the top end of a medium. I wondered if I should buy the large, but I figured I'd go with what their size chart said. It was a horrible fit! Medela has 6 different sizes! It's very hard to find the right size without going and trying them on. -Flange holes: The cloth holding the flanges in place has vertical and horizontal sections. They stay in place very well. There's absolutely no slipping. I can also squeeze my one piece Medela flange through the hole, which I couldn't with the Medela pumping bra. The Medeal bra has a small circular hole, which isn't nearly as great of a design. -Straps: This bra has optional straps. I haven't put them on yet, but I think I will. I would like having the little added support. -Reversible: This bra can be used with the zipper either going down to up, or up to down. There are bra strap clips on the top and bottom. I like wearing it with the zipper going from the bottom up because it's easiest to do since I'm used that. But, the package says if you want to use manual pressure to get more milk out, you do the zipper reversed, unzip it a little way and then you can compress your breasts to get extra milk out. -Material: This is extremely soft and comfortable! The negatives: -NONE!!! Well, I guess price can be considered a negative. But, with how much money that I would spend on formula, spending a few bucks extra on a good bra is worth it. Let me start off by addressing something I read in a review. With my bra received a coupon to buy a 2nd bra for half off (plus $5 shipping) if I wrote a review. There was nothing saying it had to be a positive review. It would cost me about $24 for a second one (if I remember right). I chose not to buy another because I don't feel like I need 2 of them. But someone had said they would get a free one if they wrote a positive review. Maybe that was the case and now it's changed, I don't know. But, I'm writing a good review because it's a good product, not because I get a free bra. Next, it took me a few tries to figure out how to get the bra and parts on and in the right spot. I had problems with my sports bra method with getting the breast shield directly over my nipple (I know it's almost TMI, but we're all breastfeeding moms, right?). With this one I tried a few methods. I've figured out that I like putting the bra on and zipping it up half way. Then I stick the skinny part of the breast shield through the hole on the inside and then center it over where it needs to go. Then I do the other side, center it over. Then I zip it up the rest of the way. I've always had great placement this way. This method doesn't work for my all-in-one breastpump supplies, but I don't use those quite as much. Overall, if you are going to be pumping, whether it's a little or a lot, I recommend this! I can now wear my nursing bra, unhook it, put this pumping bra on top and then when I'm done I unhook and I'm good to go. This saves me a massive amount of time!

I’ve tried a handful of “hands-free” pumping bras and have been let down by loose flange holds or holes spaced too far apart to be useful. This one finally gets it right. The dual-slit design—both vertical and horizontal—keeps flanges secure exactly where you want them. No shifting, no adjusting mid-pump. The fabric is durable with a nice bit of give—not overly stretchy, so it still holds everything firmly in place. I’m about a 34DD, and the fit is fantastic thanks to how truly adjustable this bra is. It comes with an included extender panel for the front zipper and a Velcro back panel that offers a wide size range, making it one of the most size-flexible options I’ve seen. The first fitting takes a little effort, but once it’s dialed in, you’re set. I saw a few reviews mentioning the Velcro wearing down, so I’ll just say: take care when washing. I use a small garment bag and avoid constantly readjusting it—mine’s held up great. This isn’t meant to be your everyday bra (and it’s not the most flattering), but it’s a tool, and an incredibly effective one. I wear my nursing bra, flip it down, zip this on just enough to keep it in place, line up the flanges, zip it the rest of the way, and off I go—fully hands-free. It holds everything steady so I can actually get other things done while pumping. I ended up buying a second one so I’d always have a clean backup. That says it all.

I literally could not pump as quickly or easily as I do at work without this bra. I have one that I keep in my pumping bag and just wash every weekend and return on Sunday night for the week. A couple things to know/keep in mind: 1. For those who don't realize- everyone I know who has this does not wear it as a stand alone bra. I wear my nursing bra every day. Then when I need to pump at work I put this on over my nursing bra with the 'flaps' of the nursing bra positioned down. Once done pumping I take it off. 2. Sizing- it may seem weird that it can fit so many sizes but it is accurate. Between the extra zippered piece and the extenders this really fits all sizes. 3. Effectiveness- I pump three times a day Monday-Friday while I'm at work. It allows me to use the double pump and is really hands free. I typically hold the pump to me for the first few seconds of suction and then let go. Then I have both hands free to do whatever- including checking email, making phone calls, etc. 4. Longevity- this is well made, no question. It is not thin material but instead nice quality material that you can tell will continue to hold up well. 5. Coupon code- as one reviewer pointed out. Yes, when you receive the product there is a request for reviews on Amazon and if you do they will give you a few dollars off a second one. Here's the thing- it's a great product and I know lots of moms who use this product every day who love it and none of us have ever bought a second one using a coupon code or given reviews because of pressure due to a coupon code. 6. Compatibility- this will work with any breast pump that has flanges that can be placed in the bra- whether double, single, electric or hand. I have an Ameda Purely Yours double electric but I know several others who have Madela's and everything fits. 7. One gotcha- when using this make sure that you center the flange on yourself and that you feel the suction. I would recommend first pumping WITHOUT the bra to see how it feels. Then put the bra on and pump. The reason I say this is because if you don't have it centered and in securely the pump itself can break suction resulting is a loss of effective pumping. It also gives you an idea of exactly how large you need the bra and where the openings should be on you in order to hold your pump. 8. Number needed- I have one. I use it five days a week and don't feel the need to have numerous ones. Since it isn't worn for as long as a normal bra or in the same way by no means do I feel the need to have multiple. I know it's not the cheapest product considering you probably just bought nursing bras, breast pads, a pump, and everything else your baby needs but don't feel like you need multiple to get the benefit. Overall this should be in every mom's pumping bag as it makes pumping as easy as it could possible be. I highly recommend this product!

I got this hands-free breastpump bra after a lot of research of similar products. I wanted something I could use when I pump at work. While at home, if I pump rather than nurse, I usually just tuck everything under the camisole I'm usually wearing and as long as I'm sitting properly, everything stays like it's supposed to and I can pump fine. However, I didn't want to risk spills and messes while at work, and wanted to be confident that I could continue working at my desk while pumping, so I wanted something that'd be a more secure than my camisole. So after much research I chose the Simple Wishes Hands-free pump bra. It's not the most stylish thing in the world, but it certainly serves its function. The velcro in the back makes it very adjustable, though I had to play with it a bit to make sure that I got the fit just right. The velcro is also very strong, which is a plus; you really feel like everything is secure and fits right. I wouldn't say that it's a terribly comfortable thing to wear, but it's not horribly uncomfortable either, especially since it's only worn for 15-20 minutes at a time. I wouldn't wear it in lieu of a normal nursing bra under my clothes, as it would make things look mishappen and unflattering. I just pop open my nursing bra and put this over everything, insert my pump's breastshields and start pumping. It's pretty easy to use and holds everything up pretty securely. I don't feel like I have to hold the collection cups up and can actually get work done or eat my lunch while pumping. The one drawback is that I use large sized breastshields and it's sometimes a little difficult getting them through the openings and centered on my breasts properly, especially when my breasts are very full. It's not terrible, it's just a little annoying sometimes, like when trying to get setup quickly because I want to get back to other tasks. The pump I use is a Medela Freestyle, which has hands-free pumping to begin with, but I thought the bands you're supposed to use to hold everything up were too confusing to use and it didn't seem like it would work very well with someone as endowed as I am, especially when full and needing to pump (I had twins and thus get very full and heavy when I need to pump). I mostly bought the Medela Freestyle because it's lighter and more portable than other electric pumps (like the Pump-in-Style, which I used with my oldest daughter), but using the Simple Wishes bra truly makes it portable and hands-free, and thus very convenient. I know many women think this is a pretty pricey bra, but it works great and is definitely worth the purchase.

This is such a great bra! I didn’t want to spend too much on so many pumping bras, so I loved the idea of getting one that can go right over my nursing bra. I keep it in my pump bag for work and slide it on for the pumping session. The fabric is very soft and the openings are very secure and hold the flanges in place. The size can be adjusted to make it most comfortable for you. I have had the zipper start to go down with some movement, but I can correct it easily. Will make an edit if it becomes a bigger issue.

This hands-free breastpump bra, is hands down (or up, or really wherever you want them!) the best investment you can make for your pumping efforts -- besides a quality pump, of course. Thus far, I have only been using this bra at home (I go back to work later this week), but I have managed to pump nearly 70 ounces using this bra, and I can't imagine doing it any other way. It makes pumping such a breeze, and frees my hands up to do other things (or even just relax). In fact, I'm wearing it and pumping RIGHT NOW, as I type this review at 80 wpm! I use the Ameda Purely Yours, and the flanges fit and hold perfectly. I can't imagine a flange for any pump that wouldn't work. The bra holds the flanges snug and securely against my breast, without being constricting or uncomfortable at all. It feels like I'm just wearing my favorite sports bra. The fabric is very soft and would be comfortable to wear all day, if you wish (and you can add straps to it, to facilitate this). I find it easy enough to throw on over my bra, with the nursing flaps folded down, whenever I'm ready to pump. Sizing the bra was easy. I bought the XS/S/M size. I typically wear size Medium or size 10 tops. My bust is a 36D. There's a Velcro panel on the back that you can adjust as much or as little as you need. I have mine attached about an inch from each edge of the piece. There is also an extender piece that zips on/off in the front, allowing you to make it a little bigger, and also to adjust where the holes are so they line up with where your nipples are. I do not need to use that extender piece. With my sizing, I'd say I'm at the upper end of the size range for the XS/S/M size. Regardless, it fits perfectly and comfortably, and I don't see any reason why I'd need to size up. I've been using it for 2.5 months now, and it still looks brand new. The quality and construction are great, and I see no reason it won't last me a long time. I really can't imagine pumping without it. The only time I've ever not used it was when I've used a manual pump, but it's such a drag having to hold the pump against your breast -- I can't imagine trying to double pump without it (and having to hold the flanges onto your breasts with one or both hands -- certainly not relaxing!). It's nice to have your hands free to read a book, fiddle with the switches on the pump, continue doing your work, or even to do breast compressions if you need a little extra help with pumping. And since being relaxed is key to pumping well, this bra makes that so much easier, making it truly a must have!

OMG, beyond pissed I spent so much money on other pumping bras. Brand new mom with a 12 day old baby. I have spent $250 over the past 12 days buying different pumping bras on Amazon and almost every single one of them was a waste of my money. In the hospital they cut holes in a waist band used to hold heart beat monitors onto my stomach and that held the pumps nice and snug onto my breasts. Every pumping bra I have spent my money on lets the pumps sag. They allow the pump to break its seal, then it starts leaking all over the bra and my stomach. Lord only knows how much milk i have wasted with the amount that has leaked out. This bandeau top fits nice and snug with the adjustable Velcro band. Is very comfortable and also comes with straps if you prefer to have that extra support. You can put it on over any nursing bra as well. WELL worth every penny, wish I bought this before anything else!!!

The bra is super comfortable and made of really nice, soft material. I love how supportive it feels without being too tight. My only complaint is that as an “elastic nipple girlie,” I use Pumpin’ Pals with my pumps, and this bra doesn’t hold the inserts securely in place. I constantly have to readjust them back in, which can get a little annoying during longer sessions. Otherwise, it’s a great bra overall!
