Hands free pumping

When pumping at work do you use a hands free bra? If yes, do you pretty much need to get completely undressed from the waist up? This seems like a huge pain.

I pumped for a year with DS and just lifted my shirt and wedged the flanges into my nursing bra. But I still usually needed one hand to hold the flanges. I got some new bras for this time around that are not going to work the same way as before.

Please share your pumping logistics with me. Thanks. :

  • I wore a nursing bra and used the Pumpease handsfree bra.  I could just pull up my shirt, drop open the nursing bra cups, and clip the Pumpease over the top.  It was super easy.

  • I have huge boobs and couldn't find any nursing bras locally that fit. I ordered a few sports bras and they worked but weren't supportive enough for work. I kept a tank in my pumping bag and my handsfree bra. I would just take my top off and bra off, put
