Innovation - PumpEase™ are designed with patent pending, "no-stitch" horn openings thus accommodating ALL makes and sizes of breast pump horns guaranteed

Durability - PumpEase™ have bartacks at each end of the horn openings for reinforcement - this is the same type of reinforcement stitching that you can find on your denim jeans

Accessibility - PumpEase™ have a hook and eye closure at center front so that you can easily put it on, take it off and adjust if for fuller or less full days

Design - PumpEase™ have no Velcro® which can catch-on and badly snag your other machine washables; Velcro® can also be very noisy when detaching it and if sleeping nearby, this could potentially wake your baby

You will enjoy having both hands free for checking email, taking phone calls, banking online, writing thank you cards or tending to baby - all while pumping!

Size Charts

General Size Chart - use your maternity or nursing bra as a guideline

 

General Size 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 once breastfeeding is established.  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

It is estimated that 70-85% of women are wearing the wrong bra size.  Therefore, if you are unsure that the bra you are currently wearing is the correct size or if you are in-between sizes and want to double-check which size of PumpEase™ to buy, 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.  If you are still unsure which size of PumpEase™ to purchase, please email us with "sizing" in the subject line.  We'd love to help!

Overbust Size Chart

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.
