My son had difficulty latching in the first three weeks of his life, and so I pumped. A lot. It quickly became tedious to hold the breast shields in place for 20 minutes per session, 12 times a day. My cousin, who exclusively pumped for her son, recommended a hands free bra. As I was planning on going back to work at eight weeks postpartum, I figured I probably did need something. Finding one that fit me, a plus size woman, wasn't easy. In fact, the Simple Wishes bra was the only I could find. I am so glad I bought it! The fit is so adjustable that I don't have to worry about losing or gaining weight - it will change right along with me. It is soft and relatively comfortable, all things considered. A tip I picked up is to put the bra on OVER your regular nursing bra (flaps down). That made it more practical for me to use at work. The reality is that the bra will not look right under most clothing, and it would be a real time suck to change my bra three times a day at work. This bra allows me to multi-task at work and not feel guilty for the time I need to pump.
