I just got my pump and have used it twice and I feel like such a dork using it and trying to hold up the flanges! I was wondering how the heck I was going to do it at work! Off to amazon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-free-pumping-bra#post-469556 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 23:36:12 +0000 MaisyMay 469556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pumped for 2 days and was going nuts with it already. I remembered a friend who said she "made" a pumping bra by cutting slits in a sports bra. I tried that last night and my life is already so much better! And it definitely didn't cost more than $5, especially since it was a bra I bought over a year ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-free-pumping-bra#post-469495 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 22:31:01 +0000 littleveesmommy 469495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Best invention ever!!! I didn't realize how awesome it was exactly until I forgot to bring it to work one day. I had to pump while holding the bottles the entire time and whenever I needed to adjust the settings in the beginning for letdown I had to balance one bottle on my thigh but just right so I didn't lose the suction connection. Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-free-pumping-bra#post-469446 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 21:34:41 +0000 pregnantbee 469446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: @Mrs Green Grass: I just read that post, too, and I'm beyond envious.

I actually ordered one on Amazon while I was still in the hospital. And then later that evening, a SAHM friend asked if I wanted hers for free since she didn't need it. I returned the one I had just bought! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-free-pumping-bra#post-469439 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 21:26:23 +0000 wheres_c 469439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pregnantbee: @highwire: Awesome will check that out.

That's the one I got. Very comfortable!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-free-pumping-bra#post-469431 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 21:21:49 +0000 pregnantbee 469431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelingbrit: Get a Simple Wishes one. They are the best. In the hospital I pumped without one and couldn't believe how hard it was. This makes it so much easier to pump and do something else at the same time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-free-pumping-bra#post-469420 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 21:17:07 +0000 matador84 469420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsgreengrass your blog post on your milk stash is amaaaaaazing!!!!!!!!!! I'm so jealous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-free-pumping-bra#post-469377 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 20:47:01 +0000 wheres_c 469377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Which one did you get? I think i need one but have no clue which to get. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-free-pumping-bra#post-469332 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 20:00:56 +0000 yin 469332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you believe I went three whole months without a hands free pumping bra, and I was exclusively pumping? I blame being stingy and not wanting to invest anymore money into pumping not knowing whether or not I would continue for the long run (I did it for 13 months). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-free-pumping-bra#post-469331 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 20:00:19 +0000 autumnlove 469331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Green Grass: Lol, I cut slits in a old sports bra and it didn't work at all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-free-pumping-bra#post-469329 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 19:56:42 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 469329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've tried to tell people how essential they are. Maybe we need a guest post!</p> <p>I pumped for one day without one and nearly died (I exclusively pump). I left it at my mom's house one day and tried to make my own with a sports bra. FAIL. i probably would have quit pumping without one.</p> <p>And I am pumping and wearing mine right now... : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-free-pumping-bra#post-469294 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 19:09:22 +0000 DillonLion 469294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: I was worried it wouldn't be tight enough to hold the cones in place but it works perfectly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-free-pumping-bra#post-469293 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 19:09:06 +0000 SleepyMonkey 469293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, it is the best invention for pumping moms!! I was skeptical of how it worked but it holds it the flanges in place so well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-free-pumping-bra#post-469288 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 18:55:38 +0000 mediagirl 469288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg I love mine so much! I never once pumped w/o it. If you plan on using a double pump, you MUST invest in one of these! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-free-pumping-bra#post-469259 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 17:55:06 +0000 LuLu Mom 469259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved mine when I was pumping so I could mess around on the computer, eat, ect! </p> <p> @Cherrybee: Yes it works with your electric pump, you just stick the shields into the holes and it holds them both in place in place. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-free-pumping-bra#post-469256 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 17:52:31 +0000 Cherrybee 469256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was looking at these online the other day and wondered if they were any good. DH peeked over my shoulder and his face was a picture!! He looked horrified! </p> <p>How do they work - do they just work with your regular electric pump? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-free-pumping-bra#post-469255 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 17:51:25 +0000 autumnlove 469255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know a lot of people who thought they were dumb or useless but I loved mine! :-)</p> <p>I'm happy that it helps you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hands-free-pumping-bra#post-469252 Fri, 28 Dec 2012 17:46:50 +0000 DillonLion 469252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can't believe I waited an entire month to get this (and have been pumping feverishly the whole time!!!) </p> <p>This thing is amazing! </p>
