I'd feel weird doing it coming into work because the security guard has to check my badge. That would be awkward :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-while-driving-1#post-604997 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 09:42:33 +0000 autumnlove 604997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did it for a few months and a hands free bra was a lifesaver for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-while-driving-1#post-604969 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 09:35:30 +0000 MaisyMay 604969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I do it going to and coming from work so that I take less breaks at work and spend more time with LO after work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-while-driving-1#post-604960 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 09:32:53 +0000 blackbird 604960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was totally wondering about the logistics of this. It makes so much more sense to do this while coming home from work or the gym (~20 min commute, maybe 30 min) so that I have that extra time free at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-while-driving-1#post-604823 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 08:56:19 +0000 CarrieLouWho 604823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going to have to practice this weekend I think!!!</p> <p>@T.H.O.U. - you are very talented to be able to use one arm to hold both horns in place &amp; drive!!! </p> <p>@anbanan15 - I do have the PISA. I have the car adapter and batteries... I was thinking the car adapter would be better. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-while-driving-1#post-604781 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 08:41:10 +0000 MaisyMay 604781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CarrieLouWho: Neither. I just tuck the horns into my regular bra. The lip of my bra cups hold them up and the suction keeps them attached. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-while-driving-1#post-604637 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 07:27:32 +0000 T.H.O.U. 604637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have a pumping bra but just a nursing bra. I would use one hand/arm to hold both in place, drape a shirt or blanket over and then drive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-while-driving-1#post-604631 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 07:24:12 +0000 anbanan15 604631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did basically what @MaisyMay: said, except I wouldn't pull over to remove the pump (yikes) but just waited for some red lights. I would wear my pumping bra only in the car since I never found it to be comfortable.</p> <p>Do you have a PISA? I think you get more power from the AC adaptor vs the battery operated pack. I found I sometimes had to or just did pump longer while driving which was fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-while-driving-1#post-604627 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 07:18:23 +0000 tequiero21 604627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow! Haha I am not so daring that I could pump and drive! Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-while-driving-1#post-604626 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 07:15:53 +0000 hellobeeboston 604626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CarrieLouWho: I want to try this one day if I am stuck in commuter traffic!!</p> <p>To go hands free without a bra, put a rubber band around each shield before attaching to you, and hook one end of the band to your nursing bra/tank clips and tuck shields into bra/tank! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-while-driving-1#post-604601 Fri, 01 Mar 2013 06:28:54 +0000 CarrieLouWho 604601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks @maisymay!<br /> Do you wear your hands free bra all day or do you put it on before you pump? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-while-driving-1#post-603920 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 22:28:18 +0000 MaisyMay 603920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do this every work day!<br /> Have your cooler bag in the front seat, as well as all of your parts. Hook up while parked. I hook up, put my cover on, and then buckle up so that the buckle rests between my breasts and under the right pump. Make sure that you've got everything comfy before you start driving. Know how long you normally pump and pull over a minute or so before you are set to be finished. Put a blanket over your lap in case you leak. When finished, I condense all of the pumped milk into a 3rd bottle and reattach the bottles to my pump and store everything back into the cooler. </p> <p>Hope this helps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-while-driving-1#post-603861 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 22:20:52 +0000 CarrieLouWho 603861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, looks like I will have my first overnight trip for work - leaving Monday, coming back Tuesday. The drive is 4 hours, so I'll need to pump. Any tips, tricks, suggestions for me? </p>
