@pangolindrome Some women love them, some hate them. Unfortunately you might not know which you are until after you get into the game. There's a nursing bra hack that works with pumping (https://youtu.be/spPwcPeQQ5I), but it isn't as good as an actual pumping bra. For me, I preferred to just hold the bottles or I would do the hack while I pumped, but I'm also a SAHM and only pumped while my daughter was asleep for the night.
@pangolindrome I had one and it was nice if I wanted to be hands free and scroll my phone (I mostly pumped at work), but if I was ever at home if was usually easier to just hold the bottles. It really comes down to personal preference.
@pangolindrome I HATED holding the bottles.. . My arms would cramp up and I spent the whole time wishing I could be doing something other than sitting there staring at the bottles. I wasn’t super fast at pumping though. Some people are quicker from what I understand but it was a twenty min process (at least) for me. A pumping bra made me much much happier. I could work on my computer or scroll my phone while pumping. Or scratch an itch without worrying about spilling my bottles. 🤣 idk maybe I was doing it wrong but it’s an absolute must for me.
FYI, BLANQI (maternity brand) is holding a Memorial Day sale - I ordered a pair of maternity jeans 60% off. 😳 I ordered a pair of their maternity leggings and postpartum leggings off of Poshmark (forever love that site) and super happy with the quality, so decided to order directly from them. I have two Amazon maternity jeans but I’m seeing you get what you pay for, so hoping these will really impress me!
Shein overall shorts, I have the black and rust colored. I could live in these and honestly kind of have… I just pop on a crop top or sports bra am sooooo comfortable. Add a sun hat and some might even call it fashionable! Granted, I am sahm with my toddler so I don’t have to worry about work-appropriate attire right now.
@mk2022x You influenced me. I was looking at Blanqi for a while. I just pulled the trigger on some maternity leggings, post partum leggings and a nursing bra.
