This really isn't a great product. It has three main functions, all of which have issues.

1. As a bra: it bunches out in the middle creating a strange point when you bring your arms together.

2. As a nursing bra: nursing pads do not stick to the material and fall out when you nurse. Also, you have to unhook the outer cup and the pumping layer in order to nurse. This is a bad design as to pump you're going to have to unhook the pumping layer anyway to insert the cup. It is way too difficult to hold a baby and try and unhook all those layers.

3. As a pumping bra: when you unhook the outer cup, the bra is way to loose to support a bottle. I thought about trying to tighten it up by sewing the inner layers, but that seemed like a lot of work for something that may or may not pay off. Also, with this type of bra, I'm not sure where a nursing pad is suppose to go. If you put it inside of the nursing portion, then you have to take it out to pump.

What I ended up doing was cutting out the pumping layer of this bra and using it as just a nursing bra, which still has issues. If you are looking for hands free pumping, I've had good luck so far with PumpEase Hands Free Pumping Support for Nursing Mothers.
