I just hunched over and used a blanket we had on hand to kind of shield my boobs from view. I just needed to relieve some pressure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-need-quick-tips-on-hand-expression#post-1466576 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 13:25:39 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1466576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you need to pump into something (a bottle, etc)? Or just hand express enough to relieve the pressure?</p> <p>If its just for relief, I get a warm paper towel, hold it on for a minute or so, then hand express into the towel. Have you hand-expressed before? I don't want to assume you haven't and give you way too much detail, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-need-quick-tips-on-hand-expression#post-1466573 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 13:25:20 +0000 Dandelion 1466573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would express what you can, but don't stress if it isn't as much as usual. Just pump a little more once you get home. </p> <p>As far as the discreet thing...I have no idea! I'm not sure I'd do it in a public restroom, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-need-quick-tips-on-hand-expression#post-1466555 Tue, 04 Mar 2014 13:21:14 +0000 Corduroy 1466555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm on a one day trip and forgot some pieces to my manual pump. I last fed at 5 hours ago. I can probably make it a few more -through my mtg- but not all the way home. </p> <p>Any tips on hand expression that would work in a rental car (no tinted windows), a public bathroom, or ...? Or is it useless and I should find a place to buy parts? </p>
