Hands free pump bras

Hello ladies. With my son I exclusively pumped because he could not latch. I am anticipating pumping this time around due to work. I wanted to ask opinions on the best hands-free pumping bra since I'll have my hands full with two little ones and trying to pump at home and also at work while in my office.

    I have both the Lansinoh Simple Wishes hands free bra and the Medela one.  I definitely prefer the Lansinoh because it is adjustable, has straps and you can put the flanges in after it's zipped up if you want.  The Medela one is strapless and not adjustable at all and I thought the sizing was a bit off.  So I had to get the flanges in place and then try and hold onto the bra and flanges while I zipped it and it was tight in the beginning, so this wasn't easy.  At least with the Lansinoh, you have straps, so it will hang there while you get everything in place.

    I use the Medela, nothing to compare it to but I don't find it difficult at all. It's spandex so it stretches nicely. I zip it about half way, put the flanges in place, then finish zipping.

    A cheaper option -- I buy the 2 packs of front close sports bras at Walmart, cut slits in them for the flanges & voila!

    Simple wishes hands down has the best one. Secure, I felt like I was falling out of the medela.

    I do the sports bra trick too. Works great!

    Another vote for Simple Wishes! Worth every penny.

    Simple Wishes for sure! I got mine on Amazon. I had the Medela one, it was way too tight (the guide suggested a small, (borderline medium), so I got a medium, and it was so tight and uncomfortable!) and the zipper broke after two uses.  I found the Simple Wishes one on Amazon. It had amazing reviews! I bought it and am SO glad. Way easier to put on by myself, adjustable size, and zipper still works! Same price.
