Used the regular medela flanges and a full nursing cover. Hands free bra was a necessity. It was a little extra effort but necessary when I was otherwise going to miss a pump session. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-while-driving-3#post-2067468 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 20:44:25 +0000 MapleMoose 2067468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to pump and drive (or pump as passenger) with the Pumping Pals angled flanges and a hands free bra. This time around I got the Freemies and it's easier because there's less set up and loose pieces to put together. And I don't have to worry about flashing anyone when I'm setting up or breaking down. :wink: I like pumping while driving because I'm sitting in the car anyways so why not get the pump session over with and not have to worry about scheduling it in later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-while-driving-3#post-2067456 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 20:37:04 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2067456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't like to pump unless I could do massage (I never got the same output if I skipped that part) so it wouldn't have worked for me. Did it plenty as a passenger though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-while-driving-3#post-2067440 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 20:30:24 +0000 hellobeeboston 2067440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did this a few times commuting home. I would get set up before I left and start pumping and driving. I never used a bra thing, but I used rubber bands hooked around and attached to my nursing tank/bra to keep everything in place hands free. Wore a scarf on top to cover up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-while-driving-3#post-2067439 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 20:30:02 +0000 jetsa 2067439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've done especially on the way to a meeting or something. I never made it a part of my daily routine but if I had an early meeting or something I made sure to pump on the way in. My commute wasn't quite long enough for a full session.</p> <p>The above poster mentioned the freemies, here's a post about those: <a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freemie-collection-cups-anyone-have-these" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/freemie-collection-cups-anyone-have-these</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-while-driving-3#post-2067385 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 20:02:17 +0000 spartysammy 2067385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can't write a long post right now but google Freemies, they have saved me so much hassle while pumping and driving! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-while-driving-3#post-2067153 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 17:21:47 +0000 MamaBehr 2067153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never did it, but I have a friend who did all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-while-driving-3#post-2067019 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 16:23:24 +0000 autumnlove 2067019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ya, all the time for LO 1. Short nursing covers like hooter hiders worked the best for me over my seat belt and flanges. My hands free bra was a necessity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-while-driving-3#post-2067018 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 16:23:13 +0000 avivoca 2067018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've done it as a passenger, but never while driving. The hands-free bra is essential, even as a passenger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-while-driving-3#post-2067013 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 16:21:43 +0000 HappyBaker 2067013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone do this? Tips / tricks / experiences / is it worth the hassle?</p> <p>I'm headed back to work in a few weeks and am EP-ing so trying to figure out if its worth pumping on my 30 minute drive to/from work to squeeze more sessions in. I hate wearing my hands free bra so I'd definitely have to get used to that!</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
