I was skeptical of a pumping bra but needed to try something to make pumping easier. I was sick of being stuck in a chair awkwardly holding the bottles while trying to entertain my kids and not spill the milk. So glad I found this bra and trusted the other Amazon reviewers because it is amazing! I can now hold my baby, play with my 2 year old and pump at the same time. I am also able to get more milk when using this bra than I ever did before. Yes, the bra is a little scary looking and I wouldn't wear it as an actual bra...however, I keep it with my pump and am able to quickly strap it on to pump and have my hands free. I wish I would have had this when I was nursing my first child as well. Would recommend this to anyone who pumps!
