Why do I need PumpEase™ hands-free pumping supports?

• you would like to multi-task (do other things while pumping)
• you are returning to work
• you want to donate to a Milk Bank
• you are adopting and want to induce lactation
• you need relief from frequent painful engorgement
• your baby has a medical condition, such as a cleft palate or tongue-tie
• your baby was born premature and is still in the hospital
• you have mastitis, milk stasis, a blocked duct or thrush
• you need to maintain your milk supply during a lapse in breastfeeding (e.g. travel, medication, hospitalization)
• your baby does not completely empty your breasts (tongue-tie, ineffective suck, latching problems)
• you want the freedom to be able to leave your baby with your partner or caregiver for a feeding
• your partner wants to feed, and therefore bond with, your baby
• you need to boost your milk production
• you have flat or inverted nipples (pumping can be helpful at drawing out the nipple)
• you gave birth to multiples

PumpEase™ are textile products, with a unique fashion element (yes, it matters that you look good and feel good while pumping), that enable you to pump HANDS-FREE! Made from an 88% polyester/12% spandex high-performance technical fabric, PumpEase™ will hold your pump in place as securely for your 1000th pumping session as it did for your 1st. Our wonderful fabric is super soft and comfortable, easy to care for, breathable, durable, has exceptional stretch and memory (i.e. won't bag out) and has quick-dry and wicking qualities. And of course it is available in fun and fabulous prints because we all know that women like pretty things!

General Sizing Chart

If this is your first baby, it is best to be fit for a nursing bra during the last month of pregnancy. This is approximately the same size you'll be when you begin to nurse.  Avoid being fit for a nursing bra in the first two weeks after giving birth, which is when most Moms are "fullest"; things level off once your body adjusts to your baby's demand.  Your nursing bra should be comfortable on the middle hook when new.

Most women increase one band size and one cup size, but there are no guarantees. If you have had previous children (and can remember what size your nursing bra was!), usually you can use this as a guide for your current pregnancy.

Overbust Measurement Size Chart

If you are unsure that the bra you are currently wearing is the correct size, please take a measurement over the largest part of your bust and refer to the chart below.  When taking this "overbust" measurement, please be standing in front of a mirror (or have a helper) so that you can be sure the measuring tape remains parallel to the floor (especially in the back where it will have a tendency to sag).  Hold the tape snugly, however don't constrict your breasts. 

PumpEase™ hands-free pumping support needn't be overly tight - it should, however, fit snugly enough so that it holds the horns in place during the pump's "rest" cycle. Think of when you are nursing - your baby's face is not pressed tight against your breast, is it? The suction of the pump does the work, not the pressure of the horns.
