In the early days after my daughter was born I was pumping 8 times per day. For about the first 6 weeks I held my pumping gear the whole time. My back was aching and it was uncomfortable. I had seen these bras, but didn't think they would help that much. Boy was I wrong. I finally broke down and got one and I only wish I had done it sooner. The bra is easily adjustable and fits very comfortably. Now when I'm pumping I can read a book, eat, use the tv remotes, talk on the phone, etc... It is totally liberating and now I'm not bored out of my mind while I'm pumping. Whether you're pumping a few times a day or exclusively pumping I think this bra is a must have!
