"Best Hands Free Pumping Bra EVER!!" 2009-10-03
By Pumping Mom (New York, NY)
I just discovered this hands free pumping device after the birth of my second child. I tried easy expressions, the pumping bra by la leche league, and made by moms pumping band with my first child. Don't waste your time trying them even if you can find them at discounted prices. These products all offer assistance, but are not hands free. It truly is a hands free product.
Here's what I love about it.
1. It will fit any woman's body perfectly and is adjustable, so as your body changes postpartum you will not need to buy another size. The front zipper panel allows you to adjust the placement of the breast shields and the panel in the back allows you to adjust the overall size. Amazing!
2. The fabric is soft and comes in a nice light pink color.
3. Believe it or not the bra actually supports bottles completely full of milk.
4. I don't use the straps, but it's a nice add for the woman who wants a little more support.
5. The packaging is so cute.
Above, I mentioned that I tried three other products with my first child.
Here's what I did not like about each of them.
Easy Expressions
1. If you are not lined up perfectly with the holes the bustier will not work for you.
2. There is no support at the top to prevent the breast shields from slipping down while pumping. OUCH!
3. I had to buy a medium and large size. Depending on my milk supply, I would alternate between the two sizes.
4. The packaging is horrible.
La Leche Leage
1. Nice idea, but offers absolutely no support of the bottles.
Made By Moms
1. Is somewhat supportive of the bottles but so stiff and uncomfortable.
"excellant product and customer service but watch out" 2009-12-13
By P. Jain (Los Altos, CA, USA)
I bought 2 of these from Amazon and it was so much better than what I was using before. This is a really well designed and thought product. That is why I was surprised when I found this piece of Velcro was sown inside with the cloth and hence rubbed against my back causing pain (you know what can happen when velcro rubs against skin). I figured out a way to use it without it hurting me but I still wanted to call the company and give them my feedback because I thought this was otherwise such a neat product. Anyways, I called the company and left a message in their voice mail. I got a call back the same day. Apparently, there were some made with this Velcro problem which they had removed from their stock but somehow Amazon had not removed theirs. Without my asking they said that they would send me 2 without the Velcro problem for free. And I got them the next day by FedEx. So, great product and customer service. The only caution is that Amazon may still be carrying the wrong ones. Hopefully, they would be removed from stock soon.

"THE BEST INVESTMENT" 2009-09-27
By musicandy6909 (New York)
I consider this item in my CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT category. I don't understand why this bra is not sold in every baby store, right next to the pump. I can't believe how many weeks I spent pumping, bored out of my mind because I couldn't move my mouse or type on my keyboard, hold a phone to my ear, frustrated because I couldn't even scratch my face...this thing is a complete lifesaver. In fact, as I write this review, I am pumping! And now I never pump without it! And of all the pumping bras out there, this one is THEE BEST. I've seen two other brands, and they don't seem as comfortable or "made for everybody". Whatever size/shape you are, this bra will fit! You can adjust the circumference of the bra not only with the zipper inset in the front, but also with the velcro strips at the back (which are so sturdy and never pull off on their own). So because the back of it is all velcro, you can adjust the bra by I'd say 5-7 inches narrower or wider depending on your preference. I've fluctuated a lot since buying this bra, and I can adjust it as I need to. I started at about a 36C postpartum, and now I'm about my old size which is a 32 or 34B. I got the S/M size and it fits perfect. I'm normally in clothes, a size 2 (at my smallest) - 8 (at my largest), and this bra has changed with me and has always been comfortable. The material is a microfiber, so it's really soft and not itchy at all.
These make the best baby shower gifts and the packaging that it comes in is very pretty and feminine. I'm ordering another one for myself to keep at work when I pump.

"Absolutely the best -- a necessity for working moms" 2010-06-04
By Michelle R. Wiss (Reston, VA)
This is the third hands free pumping device I've tried. The Easy Expressions bra was resulting in a lot of spilled milk, slipping breast shields, and worst of all, lost milk when I'd put it on when I was engorged. Plus the nipples didn't line up quite right and I would spend my pumping session rearranging the shields. The Pumpin Pals set up just didn't work. Their Super Shields are awesome (another item that no working mom should be without) but the whole medieval strap device was just horrible.
But the Simple Wishes bra is great! Since it is adjustable, I can get a perfect fit. I can also use the straps for a little extra support since I pump into nine oz bottles and my Avent pump is a little heavier than the Medela set ups. I also love the extra zipper to adjust the space between my breasts for a perfect fit.
Pumping accessories seems like such an odd, niche market, but good accessories are absolutely critical for those of us who need them and pump three plus times a day to ensure our babies are fed the best food possible. The Simple Wishes bra definitely makes the whole process easier!
