Do any of you girls pump while driving? If so, how do you do so discreetly?
-
I did it a few times. I wasn't very worried about being discreet. I think I just pulled my shirt up above the flanges and used a hands free pumping bra.
-
@Corduroy: did you pull your shirt down over everything?
-
@agold: No, I just left it resting on top. I was counting on all the other commuters to be looking at the road and for the steering wheel and door to give me some coverage.
-
I pump everyday in the car. I use freemie cups
-
When I EPed w DS, I would pump on long drives. I would just hook up my normal pump in style and use a nursing shield/cover. It def looked weird but I didn't care bc #multitasking
-
@ChitownRo: I didn't think about the nursing cover! Thank you for that idea!
@gotkimchi: what are freemies and how do they work?
-
@agold: they're these cups you just put in your bra so no one can see anything! It's awesome keeping your clothes on and pumping lol
-
I do sometimes, I pull up the bottom of my shirt and then it kind of rests around the flanged so my nipple is hidden. I'm pretty sure you can still see but I doubt many people are looking!
-
Similar question......in the winter do your nips get cold?
-
It's super easy with freemies. I've done it with regular flanges before and just used a cover. It's not as easy though.
-
I did it once and I didn't like it. I felt distracted and uncomfortable and it was hard to get set up and then when I was done and uncomfortable it was difficult to get detached. Plenty of women seem to do it without a problem though. I used a regular nursing cover and I don't think anyone could see anything.

I used a nursing cover. Both my morning and evening commutes were in the dark, so that helped too
-
My sister does it all the time...she just pulls her shirt up and then drapes it over the bottles as much as possible...
Said she rarely gets observers...

I pump in the car everyday. I use a hands free pumping bra and a cardigan. I don't put the cardigan on, I just kind of tuck it into the top of the nursing bra and let it cover the flanges and bottles. I have used a nursing cover, but didn't like having something around my neck. I feel more covered using my cardigan tuck method and I've gone through Drive thrus while pumping and not gotten any comments or strange looks (that I've noticed
-
I do it frequently. Most of the time I just don't care. If I'm feeling particularly modest, I'll use a nursing cover.
-
I did it every day for 3 months because I had a long commute. I drive in the country though and wasn't too worried about people seeing me. I usually wore nursing shirts anyways. I had a hands free bra and a car adapter for my Medela swing. I'd stop at a park or golf course when I needed to switch sides.
-
I was almost hoping that I would get pulled over while I was pumping. "Yes, Officer?"
You can't come back from seeing a woman pumping.
-
I did it a few times with my first. Hands free set up, set it all when I got in the car, covered myself with a large light scarf. Turned off pump when I was done and just left it all hooked up til I parked the car when I got home!
-
Pumped during my drive for months. Never used a cover and I drive on a major expressway in Chicago. I don't recall any gawkers
-
This is my plan! I'm a home care visit nurse so the only time I will have during the day to pump is driving between my visits.
I'm planning to pump while I drive using the hands-free bra.I will likely get a nursing cover like this again: https://www.amazon.com/Udder-Covers-Breast-Feeding-Nursing/dp/B0082Q6ATY/ref=sr_1_5_s_it?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1479527534&sr=1-5&keywords=nursing%2Bcover&th=1

@Mrs D: @peaches1038: @meganmp: you girls all made me laugh!
@Mrs. Pen: what bra do you like for pumping?
-
@agold: I don't pump while driving but I love this Rumina hands-free pumping bra because I can wear it all day under my work clothes:

I have... I just use my hands free bra and put on a nursing cover. I don't really care at all; gotta do what you gotta do!
