I've been using this pumping bra ( no it's not meant to be worn as a regular bra btw) for almost 8 months now & can't imagine not having it-it's that much of a necessity. For a few weeks I used the Medela one sold at big baby stores --you know it's white & simply has two holes cut in front & you'd better hope the holes line up right for you & that the tightness is correct because *that* bra is not adjustable! Wish I'd know about this bra before buying two sizes of the Medela.

Basically :
This bra lets you pump *hands free*, is hugely *adjustable* (because your breast size/weight will likely vary during your adventures in breastfeeding), is *comfortable* ( though if you need to add the additional fabric panel in front to make it larger the zipper on that panel is not covered with fabric like the zipper on the main bra, so that bugged my skin at first until I guess I adjusted to it because it feels fine now) and it *lasts/ holds up well *over the months.

Too bad it looks like they've gone up a few dollars in price, so shop around for best price.
