Anyone have the strap on breast pump??

ryansbride05 · July 2009

I'll admit, I cringed everytime I saw that ad in the back of PG magazines showing a woman working with a breast pump strapped to her body. Now, it seems like a damn good idea! Just curious if anyone has tried it. I'm wondering if there is an attachable belt thingy that would work with my Medela so I don't have to sit here holding it and typing with one hand!

I wore nursing bras that you have the little snap that comes off to nurse. Anyway--I would put the pump in and then snap it back on and that worked.

I know several woman that buy a cheapo sports bra and cut two little holes in and then stick the pump through that and it works fabulous for them.

I don't think I have actually since the full on strap thing before but then again I am pretty cheap and my way works fine.

I made my own with an old bra. I but an X in each cup - it worked beautifully.

One of my friends recommended this, said it was great. You can get them at Special Addition.

This is what I did. I had two old cotton, non-wire bras and just cut holes for the flanges. Worked like a charm and cost $0.

I wish pumping for me was a hands off operation. I always had to compress and massage my breasts for pumping. I had to sit down and mash away. DH of course would offer to help...

I have this and i LOVE it! it's great that it doesn't have to go over your head like a sports bra, it just wraps around whatever you are wearing. I use it everyday at work and i'm completely hands free to be on the computer etc. i also can, and do, hand compressions with it on.

ditto! I borrowed this from a friend and don't know what I would have done without it. I also had to do the compressions towards the end of each pumping session.
