I was going to buy one...I think the simple wishes brand? But wanted to make sure it was worth the money before I buy. Is this the best brand to get or is their another to look into? I'll pry go to Babies R Us because I have reward money to use.
I just cut holes in one of my old sports bras in a fit of desperation. I had planned on upgrading to a legit bra, but never had to. Whatever you do, hands free is so worth it. I didn't try it until my third kid and it made a world of difference.

I'll be the voice of dissent. I have a simple wishes bra, and while it's awesome, I don't use it because it takes too long to put in on to pump at work. Instead I just pull the cups down on my stretchy nursing bra (I don't unclip, I just pull the cup down under my nipples) and the fabric of the bra covers the bottom of the flange and holds the flange in place.
Absolutely. I don't understand the cut holes in a sports bra thing. What am I supposed to use as a sports bra then? Maybe I don't own enough sports bras?

Lol, yeah, not your nice sports bra....like an old one, or a cheap one from Walmart.

YES! I have the simple wishes one. You set the Velcro adjusting part one time, and then just zip it around you each time you pump. Easy. I could not deal with pulling a sports bra over my head and whatever I'm wearing three times a day. Do you sports bra people take your shirt all the way off? I just pull mine up, and unclip my nursing bra flaps.

I did the sports bra thing but if I were pumping at work or multiple times a day, I'd purchase something better. As it is, at this point I just pump occasionally at night and the sports bra works just fine.
I bought a 2 pack at Walmart for less than $10. Snipped holes and voila- 2 hands free bras. I do take everything off to pump at work, as I'm usually not wearing a nursing bra if I'm pumping at work.

Yes, yes 1000 times yes. IMO, the Medea one is crap. I went through two in a month. The zipper is cheap. Love my simple wishes although if I had the time, I would make my own.

Um, holy crap I did not think to use the zipper to put it on. I would do the Velcro in the back each time and by six months the Velcro was all worn out and took me a couple tries to get it to stick each time. It was so frustrating. Filing this away for next time!
Yes! I have two pumping bras. One I leave at work and one at work. It makes life so much easier.
I tried the sports bra trick but I feel like the pumping bras gives me support as far as ensuring the pump stays in place. I'm sure it was user error though I'm not very crafty.
