I dont know why I waited this long to buy one, but I only just got my first pumping bra this weekend. (11 weeks after LO was born) Anyway after using it the 1st time some milk got on it so I had to wash it again. It made me wonder how many pumping bras do people typically buy?
ETA- Do you wash after every use?

I exclusively pump (have been for about 2 weeks). I own 2, but am going to get another.

Thanks guys, I just edited my original post to add the question how often do you wash your pumping bras

@Mrsbells: Every few days. I should probably wash them more b/c there is lots of milk drippage, which is why I'm going to get a 3rd bra.

I pump daily, and I have one (the Medela brand). I just throw it in anytime I do the baby's clothes- so a couple times a week. For the most part I have figured out how to position everything and not leak milk all over.

I have 2. One is so worn it has holes in it since it's been through two kids and a lot of pumping! I wash when I remember.... But probably should do it more often.

I have 2. I use my bra 3 times a day at work and haven't spilled milk on it yet. I've got a system! I've used one so far (3rd full day of work) but I forget to put it in the wash this weekend. Oops.

I have the same one as @Mrsbells: posted above! I will be getting another one for this pregnancy, having two would be way easier!

None. And for 4 weeks I only had 1 nursing bra. I do laundry daily Now I have 2 nursing bras for daytime and one for nighttime that I don't wear often.
I posted here because... regarding milk spilling--it happens to me a lot! I do laundry every day, so it works out.

If you write a review of the Simple Wishes bra on Amazon, apparently you can get another bra for 50% off!
There was an insert in the bra box that said you can write an Amazon review, then send the name your review is under to amazon@simpleswishes.com, and you will receive instructions on how to get a second bra at 50% off.
Unfortunately, the FIRST bra I bought didn't have the card inside the box, but the second bra did! Boo...but hope some of you can take advantage of this!
