I also actually find it helps me increase output because I can massage a lot more effectively than if my hands were tied up holding the flanges in place, and I'm too large chested to hold both with one hand/massage with the other. I get the most milk if I can massage both breasts at the same time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-free-bra-and-output#post-751804 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 07:58:59 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 751804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coacheswife123: I was thinking about while I was pumping today! I have Medela bra and it has quite a bit of give...not super tight around me...although it has definitely stretched out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-free-bra-and-output#post-751706 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 06:42:29 +0000 pl0508 751706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Going to keep experimenting with the fit. Thanks guys ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-free-bra-and-output#post-751585 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 22:46:45 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 751585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never had a problem...I massage towards he end about once a day to make sure I'm fully empty. Sorry it's not working well so far! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-free-bra-and-output#post-751554 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 22:21:29 +0000 birdofafeather 751554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make sure my nipple is right in the center and the fit on the bra is tight. After the milk stops, I press the flanges on my breasts to get more and I massage them too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-free-bra-and-output#post-751539 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 22:09:36 +0000 Smurfette 751539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have noticed you have to have the shields just right or it doesn't work right either. I put the bra on, then unzip to put the shields on, make sure the nipple is right in the middle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-free-bra-and-output#post-751514 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 21:33:57 +0000 yin 751514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would check on the fit. I used the same hands free bra and actually had better output since it held up the horns better than I could just using my hands. Plus I was less stressed since I had my hands free during pumping. Make sure it's a tight fit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-free-bra-and-output#post-751507 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 21:24:54 +0000 autumnlove 751507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm, have you adjusted it? Maybe it is too tight or maybe you don't need the extra zipper piece in the middle? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-free-bra-and-output#post-751503 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 21:22:37 +0000 pl0508 751503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've only used my simple wishes bra a few times but each time I've taken it off because my output sucks with it. When I take it off the milk flows great. What am I doing wrong ?? </p>
