I got this for when I went back to work and my baby was 7 months, still nursing several times a day.  It definitely works as a hands free system.  It's adjustable (i'm pretty skinny and small chested). It's not my favorite thing to use tho (as if anyone really likes pumping at work).  I have an Avent double electric breast pump, which works well with it, but it has the silicone petals that fit into the flanges, and it's a real pain in the butt to use this bra with the petals.  The silicone keeps getting stuck to the fabric and often won't stay fitted into the flanges.  i have to put the petals on after i stick the flanges through the holes in the bra and then afterwards, i have to take the petals off and flanges out separately.  Getting everything adjusted can add a couple minutes onto my pumping sessions, which are a flurry of hurried unpacking/connecting/pumping/washing/packing etc, and sometimes I just don't use the bra.  BUT when I want to talk on the phone or eat at the same time i'm pumping (I don't get much of a break to pump or do anything else at work), it can be worth it.  It holds up the pump even with full 4 oz bottles. Adjusting the flanges and using hands on technique is easy to do.
