" just have to say I absolutely LOVE mine! When I first heard about them from a friend I thought it sounded like something I just wouldn't need. (Even though the same friend told me how it allowed her to pump an extra session nightly on the way home from work!) And then DD 2 came around and I was pumping after my morning nursing sessions and sitting there with cramped hands again from holding the bottles and it all came back to me how much I hated pumping with DD 1. So I got one on a zulily sale towards the end of my maternity leave and I can't believe I ever thought I wouldn't need it!
Then I went back to work. And got a smart phone and having a Pump Ease while pumping at the office was fantastic because I could pass the time checking emails, or twittering my facebook. ;)
And then I was laid off a few weeks ago and have been trying to get my freelancing business off the ground so now, it's more invaluable than ever since I don't have to stop work. I just have my pump hooked up next to my desk and I set everything up and go back to work. I can even pump longer than I did at the office where I had to watch the clock.
It works perfectly with the Ameda Purely Yours system and the Tuxedo style is so classy.
I just can't say enough good things about my Pump Ease! :D Thank you so much!"

"Dear Wendy and Snugabell Mom & Baby Gear, my Galaxie Black pumping bra arrived in Jakarta safe and sound. I would like to thank you very much for accepting international orders direct from your website. Now I feel much more comfortable and it holds up the bottles very well. Yay! No more struggling with the hands-free straps that came with my Medela Freestyle."

"I don't think I already wrote to you guys, but I just wanted to say a big thank you, in light of Prematurity Awareness Month.
My son was born 10 weeks early when he arrived on April 26th of this year. I was hurled into a scary and foreign experience, which included pumping 10 times a day while he spent some time in hospital growing and getting stronger.
I was so clueless about it all, having not had time to properly research and read about breastfeeding - let alone birth - and so everything was a big hurdle.
Pumping was hard and discouraging at the start, but I was determined, knowing that it was the only thing in my power that I could do to help my son. So with cracked and throbbing nipples, I soldiered on.
One day, one of the other NICU moms was sitting in our pump room at the hospital casually reading a magazine and checking her email while she pumped. She was using a Pumpease - the one with the badass cherries on it. It was like a shaft of light shone down on her from the fluorescent bulbs above.
"What is THAT?!" I demanded, "and where can I get one?!"
I soon ordered my own online and I love it. It didn't change my life but it really made what was a very difficult time, just a little bit easier as in the 3+ hours I was spending pumping every day, I could keep in touch with my family, letting them know about my son's progress, I could read, have a glass of water... and I am so grateful. It was also nice to hear that it was made in Canada. Hooray!
I love functional, yet beautiful design. I really think you should let all the lactation consultants in Canadian hospitals know about them, Pumpease is awesome and certainly makes something difficult and trying a lot less frustrating."
Thanks again,

"I had been using a sports bra with holes cut out for my first 2 months of exclusively pumping. I am going back to work, however and will have to pump to and from work and using the ratty old bra was not an option! I fell in love with all the patterns to choose from and the loop and hook fasteners rather than the normal light pink and Velcro which could damage my clothes. I am extremely excited and happy about my red polka dot pump-ease!"

"During Hurricane Irene, I lost over 50 bags of expressed milk due to power outages - it was very hard to pour that milk out, but I had no where to send it. That really sparked me to look into donating further. You are a wealth of information. I was looking for info about donating milk and went to one particular site and they did not have visible info. When I received an email from you I looked on the resouces page of your site and noted the contact information for Mothers' Milk Bank. I was able to get screened and approved as a donor and made my first donation this week. I am excited that I was able to contribute to the lives of others. THANK YOU for all that you do to make our lives and others BETTER!"

On the other hand, some mommies use it so they can check email or such while pumping.

"As someone who pumped for nearly two years, I can say that PumpEase are the best! They are a life (and hands/wrists) saver. I used another brand, and went through two of them. Then I got a PumpEase and it rocked my world. It was pretty, held up to multiple daily uses, and made the task SO much easier. Easy to wash, easy to use, and adjustable. In fact, I handed mine down to a friend who was pumping for her NICU baby, and it held up another year through her pumping. Worth the full price, and a bargain at the discount!"

"I'm an American living in France and although the social security system here rents electric pumps for free, they don't think about the fact that it's impossible to use both pumps at the same time without a product like PumpEase. I ordered one and not only can I use both pumps, I can keep in touch with my family on the net. My cousin just had a little boy who was born with a hole in his lungs & caught pneumonia. Since he's going to be in the hospital for a month, she's pumping, so I'm sending this to her to help her get through this rough start.
Thank you so very much for your personal email and for a product that has changed my life and I hope that of my cousin Leah."

This way if one is dirty, I'm never without. :) I pump 3-4 times a day EVERY day, and I don't know what I would do without it - probably lose what little sanity I have left. <GRIN> It's comfortable, VERY easy to use, easy to massage breasts while it's on, and as I can attest works just *FINE* for those of us who are "well endowed" - fantastic product. Plus the colors/patterns just help 'brighten' the day while pumping. Thanks!!!"

"I have another pumping bra and I like it, but then I got the PumpEase and I like it better. It is a stretchy band that hooks. It is easier to do breast compressions with the PumpEase since it is thinner.
I undo my bra or tank top flaps and put it over everything I am wearing. In cold weather and lots of layers I will sometimes put it under my shirt. PumpEase hands-free bras are great! I am using mine right now to check email and type this. : ) "

"This is a product I had wished existed because I didn't like standard pumping bras. When I learned about PumpEase, I was delighted! Using my new PumpEase was a dream come true -- the first time out of the box, I popped it on, then looked at pictures with my 2-month-old in my lap while pumping, then pulled off one side because he wanted a snack, nursed him through the opening while continuing to pump the other side, then let him sleep in my lap while I popped the pump back onto that side and read a book! WOW!!!! I love your product so much that I posted to my La Leche Yahoo group to let the other mommies know what a great thing was out there!"

"Why I chose PumpEase...
I'm a new mom of a five month old. Breastfeeding has been a challenge from the beginning. Trying every possibility to EBF – seeking out lactation consultants, herbal remedies and the dreaded pumping marathons. To say I hated pumping was an understatement. I never got more than 2 ounces combined. Then I had to go back to work full time and it was even worse. Why continue to pump at work? Just sitting there, holding the pump and getting hardly anything. I was overly frustrated and tired of not being able to focus on anything but my pumping session. I was ready to give up pumping and to just continue breastfeeding when I'm with my li'l man and go as long as I can. Then through following the Leaky Boob on twitter I met Lara from Mama Pear Designs. I poured out all my feelings. Lara suggested that I check out PumpEase.com to get a hands-free pumping bra. I was ready to try anything at this point and boy am I glad I did! This has been my first week of pumping at work with my hands-free bra. IT’S AMAZING! I now can forget about the pump and focus my mind on other things. I keep forgetting I am pumping and catch myself going over 20 minutes each session. It is the best feeling in the world. I’m hoping that in the next week or so I also see an improvement on my supply. I wish I would have known about this before I even began my pumping sessions. Thank you so much for your amazing products and your amazing support."

Wendy,
I just wanted to say thank you for creating a product I can confidently recommend to breastfeeding moms who work and pump for their babies.
Recently on Twitter, I had the chance to connect with Stephanie, a working mama, with an infant son. She reached out to me, distraught about not being able to pump enough milk while she was at work. Despite having a comfortable area for her to pump at work, she had come to dread the process because she was not having successful pumping sessions, and she was fearful that she was not going to continue to breastfeed her baby due to her perceived low milk supply.
After communicating with her about her issues and offering various suggestions for pumping, I also recommended she purchase a hands-free pumping bra, and directed her to your site. She took me up on my suggestion, and with a new outlook, renewed confidence and a PumpEase she is now pumping more than she ever thought she would! Stephanie did a lot of the work - she had to change her mindset - but your product made it possible for her to attach the pump, and forget about it until the end of her pumping session. Letting go of looking at the bottles while pumping seemed to make all the difference in the world!
As a mother who is passionate about breastfeeding education and works to support other mothers so they can meet their breastfeeding goals, I am so glad that I can recommend your product without hesitation to those who pump on a regular basis. You made a difference in a mother’s relationship with her son and that is something about which you should be very proud!
With sincerest thanks,

"I also have the PumpEase. I just love it. I recommend it to any pumping mom as a MUST have for pumping. It also makes a difference in the amount of milk you get because of holding it on longer and not breaking the seal. I went from getting an oz or so to about 4 oz when I was pumping. I have a mommy friend that loves hers also and went from getting 4 oz with out it to 6 oz with the PumpEase. They also have great customer service. This is always important in my eyes. :) Oh and I love when you do reviews on products. I often go out and buy them after reading a review. Thank you and keep up the great work you're doing. :)"

February 2011
"I had always intended to nurse my daughter but when she was born, a combination of her preference and my flat nipples changed that plan. I worked with lactation consultants and tried all sorts of contraptions to try to make nursing work but each feeding was difficult and emotional for me, my daughter, and my husband. I had already started pumping but was devastated that I wouldn't be nursing. After reading online a bit I realized that there were lots of women just like me who pumped exclusively and I thought, "I can do this!" I grieved the loss of nursing and embraced the life of pumping. Pumping exclusively without a hands free device is exhausting! I was experiencing back pain, hand pain, neck pain, and just felt like pumping had taken over my life because I could do nothing else while I was pumping. I researched many options and tried some but nothing worked for me. I joined the PumpEase Facebook page and stalked it for months in hopes of winning a PumpEase from a giveaway, afraid to spend the money on something else that might not work. After 6 months of pumping, I WON one!! My PumpEase has become my best friend! Seriously, my life is completely changed and had I known what a difference this little piece of fabric would make I would have spent the money on it the day I decided to exclusively pump! It's worth every penny and I can't believe I went 6 months without it. I would never let a friend pump without one. Thank you PumpEase for your generosity and for changing my life forever!"

I can actually pump at my desk and accomplish so much work with this product - I don't think I would still be pumping without it! Thank you for helping me give my son the best nutritional start possible. I know we will meet our breastfeeding goals largely thanks to your product. Thank you doesn't even begin to explain the depth of my gratitude."

Trying to turn the page of a book while propping your bottles on your knees is the pits. Pumping became such a non-issue for me that I pumped until my LO turned 17 months. I hung up the horns just last week."

"I bought a PumpEase Organic and now pump hands-free while working on the computer with one of your door signs on my office door asking for privacy. The latter is as much fun as the bra in my almost only male work environment. It also makes a good point - my son is 10 months only and some people already question why I still nurse him (and pump). What will they say if my son is two and still nurses? ;-) Anyway, thanks for both the sign and the bra. I love them!"

"I am writing to thank you for such a superior pumping product. I was referred to you by a fellow mom from my breastfeeding support group. She raved about your pumping bras, so I ordered two in preparation for returning to work. I am a veteran pumper. I pumped for my first born until he was about 19 months old when I was away from him at work. I knew what I was up against. Pumping is definitely not the easiest task when you have limited time at work to take pumping breaks. I knew I needed a product that went on quickly and got the job done, so I could work while I pump and eat lunch while I pump during my lunch break. With my first I had to "rig" my pumping bra each time I put it on with safety pins and had to roll my shirt under the fabric of the bra to get it snug enough around me to pump. I have used my PumpEase numerous times now and have NEVER had to make any alterations to the bra to get it comfortable or snug. It is perfect. I pump 4x a day either in the car or on the way to work or at work. The PumpEase goes on quickly and is very comfortable. Thank you for creating a wonderful product!"

"I just wanted to once again thank you for your product. Fourteen months ago I gave birth to a preemie and was introduced to the world of pumping for my baby every 3 hours in order for him to be tube fed in the intensive care unit at BC Children's Hospital. As a Fit 4 Two Ambassador Sponsor, you gave me a PumpEase bra... it changed my life! Finally I could use my hands!!! Since then I have been recommending your product to all my friends and family. Last week I again gave birth to another premature baby and am living the life of pumping every 3 hours!! I have a PumpEase at the hospital and one at home. As I meet new moms in the NICU pumping room I am constantly raving about your bra and they all ask, "Where can I get one of those?" I get to read a magazine and pump while they are uncomfortably clasping onto both the pump horns! The lactation consultant at BC Woman's was intrigued having never seen a PumpEase so I also gave her your product info. The NICU staff suggested that you should send them some information to post in the pumping room. I can guarantee these moms would buy one! I am so happy with your product (and couldn't believe your pitch wasn't picked up by the Dragons)! I am pumping as I type this email! Thanks for simplifying my busy life as a mom!"

"My baby was born six weeks pre-mature so I was pumping around the clock. I wish I found PumpEase sooner!! I didn't get this wonderful product until after he was out of the NICU but it still has come in handy. I can now do so many more things while pumping. I can work on the computer and tend to my baby all while pumping."

"I LOVE my PumpEase! Although I normally use it for hands-free pumping, it's also a great fashion piece. I just turn it around and voila! Suddenly I can use my super cute Forget Me Not print as a camisole if I'm wearing a shirt that's cut just a little too low for work. I love the versatility and the quality of the fabric - I've worn my PumpEase at work, while out shopping, and even while out walking the dogs."

"I saw PumpEase on Dragon’s Den and thought it was such a brilliant idea!
It works even better than I had hoped. I am a master’s student so it’s great to be able to pump and study at the same time. I can easily store up milk for when I am in class while looking after my baby or doing research.
Thanks for this awesome (and fun!) product!"

"I just wanted to say a BIG thank you to whoever invented the hands-free PumpEase. It has allowed me to pump while tending to a crying baby and able to eat without starving after feeding my baby in the morning. It would be great for any working mom. I LOVE IT! I'm sooo glad I saw it on Dragons Den, even if the Dragons didn't support it (they are all mostly men who have never had to find time to nurse and do errands). At least it got your product out there. I will be recommending it to every new mom I know and will get more in the future if I have more babies."

"I got [my PumpEase] in the mail on Friday. I could not wait to use it!
I just used it and LOVE it! The PumpEase hands-free bra is fantastic: so soft and stretchy at the same time! I found out about it at The Leaky Boob. I have the red retro one [T-Bird Red from the Fabulous Fifties Collection].
I just pumped 15 ounces! Yes, I do pump a lot more on Mondays than other days of the week. But it was so nice to sit there relaxed, with my hands to be able to massage while pumping! I may have to get another one as backup.
Was so nice not to have to hold the shields in place. And I didn't leak like I sometimes do when I don't quite have it on right."

"Hi there,
My wife WAS struggling with pumping - having her hands tied-up was stressful as feeding was taking over an hour, and so was pumping, leaving little time to do anything but sleep, feed and pump. In efforts to try and help I researched solutions on the web and found PumpEase. It arrived yesterday as a surprise gift from me to her. To our amazement it worked and actually increased the amount of milk production and in half the time! Here is an email I received from my wife this morning when I got to work. (She pumped in the middle of the night, and produced 130ml in half an hour while she did some tasks on the computer because she had her hands free. Usually it would take 1-1/2 hours and she would be lucky to get 75ml.)
"You would not believe how incredibly this bra works!!! I was shocked at how much better the pumping is with the bra. Over time, I should be able to have extra milk to store. I cannot thank you enough. I never would have thought of researching how to make this better (also wouldn't have my hands to do so). You are brilliant, so thoughtful, and incredible. I love you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much! You can start doing lectures on how to be the most supportive post-partum husband.""

"My baby wasn't able to latch right away and once she did, she refused because she had become 'bottle spoiled'. It was my worst nightmare as breastfeeding was so important to me for the health benefits. After many visits to two breastfeeding doctors and two lactation consultants my baby still refused the breast. So my option to ensure her getting breastmilk was pumping full time. Let me tell you, it's not fun and when you're double pumping, you're pretty restricted – or at least I was – I never could get the hang of holding on to both horns with one hand. PumpEase was a dream come true! Now I am able to shoot off emails, read or talk with my husband, feeling relaxed now that I was pumping hands-free. I definitely think finding this product has played a huge part in my success at pumping full time. If not for PumpEase, due to it [pumping] being so tedious, I would have given up. My daughter is now seven months and I'm still pumping. I will always be grateful and I tell all my mama friends about your product. A big thank you!"

"I just wanted to say thank you for creating such a wonderful product. My PumpEase saved my sanity! My son was born with a stuffy nose and could not nurse well on his own. I had to pump for the first few days to keep my milk and provide food for him. There is nothing worse than having to use two hands to pump one side while your baby cries. The PumpEase allowed me to pump both sides, massage my milk ducts and keep my baby happy all at the same time. My son was hospitalized when he was 5 weeks old with a bad cold, again he couldn't nurse because of a stuffed nose. The PumpEase came to the rescue again as I pumped my milk for him in the hospital. My son is now 9 months old and still nursing. I can't thank you enough."

"As a breastfeeding advocate and member of LLL, it is one of my top recommendations for moms to get a PumpEase and use it for their return-to-work pumping.
After using my PumpEase faithfully and daily until I stopped pumping right before my daughter's second birthday, I gave it away to an EP-ing mama of a medically fragile baby, and purchased one as a gift for a returning to work neighbor. I cannot speak highly enough of the PumpEase. After going through two of your competitor's tubes during my two-year pumping career, the PumpEase held up and got me through. And the fact that it was invented by a mama for other mamas, with ease of use and style in mind, only makes it that much better."

So I emailed Wendy and she immediately responded and said she would ship me the right size the next day. I was elated & most grateful!

"After 6 weeks of trying to breastfeed, I made the decision to pump exclusively. I have large breasts and my wrists were very sore from holding the horns, not to mention that it was impossible to do anything else while double pumping. Using a PumpEase has made such a difference! I am now into month #8 of pumping and I am sure that without my PumpEase, I would have stopped pumping a long time ago. It is helping my son get breastmilk which is very important to me."

"The PumpEase buys me a good 15 minutes on the computer or on the phone by not having to hold the breast pump shields to my chest. I love the material that the PumpEase is made out of.
Admittedly, upon first glance of the "Breast-fest at Tiffany's" image on the home page of the web site, I turned the other cheek. My initial reaction was to ignore the ridiculous looking contraption. "No f**king way", I thought. It looked more like an S&M device. After just a few days of holding the horns to my chest and staring at the walls, I was sold."

"I had a really hard time breastfeeding when my daughter was born and so I started using my double electric pump instead for the first few weeks until everything returned to normal. After continuing to struggle with the breastfeeding, we decided to exclusively pump and feed our daughter pumped breast milk. I really hated pumping as it seemed to take forever - just sitting there, holding the bottles. And if you moved even slightly, breast milk would leak out everywhere. Plus when I am home alone during the day and have to pump while my daughter is awake, she would sometimes fuss and there was nothing I could do about it but just wait until I was done pumping.
I decided to give the PumpEase a try. I hadn't heard of any of my friends using it... so I felt l was taking a bit of a gamble on the product. Plus ordering it online I wasn't sure if the sizing would be right and if it would actually work. After using it for almost a month now, all I can say is I LOVE IT!!! I honestly don't even know how I managed NOT using it! I can do so much more now and the time spent pumping flashes by so quickly. I check my emails, I've folded laundry, I'm even able to feed my daughter from the bottle while pumping. It's so easy to use and has honestly made pumping so much better!!! Even the few times I've had to pump manually while I was on the go, it made double pumping possible and helped it go by quickly! No leaks and it stays perfectly suctioned onto the breast.
I would recommend the PumpEase to EVERY breast pumping mother! I can't imagine how I went almost a month of pumping without it!
Thanks again for this AMAZING product!!!"

I just pulled my shirt up, pulled down the flaps of my nursing bra and fastened the PumpEase around me. It was so easy. I was afraid that it would be complicated but it was easy and quick. I have used it 3 times today and WOW!!! Wished I would have bought one sooner."

My time is valuable and I need every minute I can get. I was introduced to PumpEase by a co-worker and now I can't imagine pumping without it! It is very comfortable and having my hands free to continue working has been wonderful! I don't like to pump so anything I can do to make the process easier is a huge plus! I highly recommend this for everyone, as being able to multitask is part of the job description for every Mommy. Thank you, Wendy!"

"I received my PumpEase today and have to admit that it lives up to the hype. I was able to express both breasts in well under 15 minutes - usually it takes around 45 minutes - which is really important for someone who exclusively expresses and will be going back to full-time work shortly. The fabric is very comfortable. As a larger woman it is amazing to get something in my size that actually works properly - if anything I would tell people sitting on the cusp of 2 sizes to go for the smaller one - the sizing is on the generous rather than skimpy side."

I am only sorry that I didn't know about your product earlier (my son is now almost 5 months) and that it wasn't available when I had my first son five years ago! I had to pump a lot after the birth of my first son until my milk came in. I sure could have used a PumpEase so I could do other things while I pumped two to three times a day! I will definitely recommend it to others, particularly to moms returning to work and those with twins - both of whom need to pump regularly! It would be a cool product to share with doulas and community health nurses as well."

"I really, really like my PumpEase!! I have been using it for over 8 months now. The reason I like it better than anything else is that I can wear any bra (if I'm not wearing a nursing bra, it's still fine). So many of the others, including the trick of wearing a sports bra with holes cut in it, you actually have to either wear them all the time (making you buy several), or change into them. This one is great!!!"

My baby boy turned one today. And thanks to you, we've enjoyed one full year of successful breastfeeding! Since I'm a working mom, it would have been way more difficult to continue to breastfeed after I returned to work. With my PumpEase though, I was able to work and pump at the same time!
You've got a great product and I continue to recommend it to all of my friends.
Thanks for developing such a great product! It has truly had a wonderful impact on my life."

"Not only do I love being able to have my hands free while pumping, but it is a great load off to not have to sit with my wrists in an awkward position, holding the horns up, for 10+ minutes several times a day. Believe it or not, I got pretty bad tendonitis from the early days of breastfeeding, and then pumping with my wrists in this position just aggravated the condition. I had a great buying experience and found Wendy to be so helpful! She really stands behind her products and helped me find just the right size (including being so understanding about 2 exchanges). Thank you, Snugabell! Keep up the great work!"

I work on a busy unit and needed something I could put on easily without undressing and that would hold my 8oz glass bottles as they filled. What a relief it has been to actually be able to eat and drink while I pump for my baby - now it's actually a break!! It even works well when I'm nursing and pumping on just one side; I can pull the PumpEase up on one side and the fabric is still comfortable and holds my pump in place so that my son no longer has to feel that I am distracted on these occassions (no more kicking the bottle or pushing the pump away). Thank you for this simple, beautiful and very functional product!"

"As I am typing this my breast pump is working its magic thanks to my PumpEase. It fits like a glove and keeps the shields tight on my breasts. I usually just keep the PumpEase on all day so when I am ready to pump I just insert the flanges and start pumping. Before I got my double pump I had a single pump and because it was battery operated I could blow dry my hair, do my make-up, make dinner, etc. It gives me the freedom to be mobile while accumulating the "liquid gold" I give to my daughter."

I had no idea at the time I'd need to be pumping as early as I was (four days post partum!), so had planned to buy mine after the baby was born. I'm so glad I got it early as it's critical to be hands free while pumping, as far as I'm concerned, to make it a little bit less tedious and more productive." *

"I always knew about hands-free pumping bras, but I never bought one because I stay at home and don't pump very often. I always thought of it as more of a convenience thing only. I have large breasts and always had a hard time keeping the breast shields on and keeping everything centered. Once the doc asked me to start supplementing, I finally gave in and bought a hands-free bra.
Not only is it convenient, but I am pumping tons more milk! Literally I went from less than an ounce to three ounces in much less time. It keeps everything in the perfect position for me.
I bought a PumpEase because they are cute and super comfortable. I hope this helps someone else."

"After four weeks back at work, pumping and having to hold both flanges, I discovered PumpEase. Prior to this, it was near torture not being able to do anything else while sitting in my office, trying to occupy myself with pictures or thoughts of my baby just to get through the sessions. As soon as my PumpEase arrived I was able to get pumping in minutes...and I was finally able to multi-task. I could type, read, write, and even answer the phone. Time spent pumping is valuable in and of itself, but we might as well be able to maximize the use of that time. I honestly believe that for pumping moms, PumpEase is the greatest invention possible. Absolutely, without a doubt, my pumping sessions are so much more productive, both work-wise AND milk-wise, because I can focus on other things and relax. It could not be easier!! PumpEase truly makes what I do for my baby when I cannot be with her possible...and enjoyable. Thank you, Wendy, for your excellent product and your gracious help. The customer service could not be beat, either! I am impressed all the way around."

"After exclusive pumping for my 9 week old, I was becoming overwhelmed with the process and considering moving my daughter to formula. I needed something to make pumping easier on me, my daughter, and my husband. I looked at several options and decided to start with PumpEase based on reviews on the internet. I have been using the product for 6 weeks now, and I am currently pumping 5-6 times a day using the Medela Lactina. This product has made all of the difference! A quick example... last weekend was my daughter's baptism and a half hour before my family and friends were to arrive at my house, I needed to pump. While pumping, I was able to paint my toenails and apply my makeup - talk about multi-tasking! About the product... I worried about any product being able to support two milk-filled, 6oz bottles. I have no idea what type of stitching, fabric, and clasps PumpEase uses, but this product feels like it could hold two 3 liter bottles! I never worry about it falling, moving, spilling, etc. Speaking of spilling. It took me a couple days to master the art of using the PumpEase, practicing the on and off. At this point, I can use PumpEase half asleep, in the dark and one handed. It takes a couple of uses before you get the hang of it and risk dripping milk on yourself, but once you get it, no worries. Before pregnancy I was a 32A, during pregnancy I was a 34C, and now, I am more like a 34B. Without a doubt the Small size was correct for me, as I typically use PumpEase with the clasp pulled as tight as possible. A big thank you to PumpEase! I would not be breastfeeding today if not for your product! It is worth every penny."

"I love how easy I can put my PumpEase on without having to take off my nursing bra and how soft it feels to the skin. It does its job perfectly (I am pumping as I type this review). I love the funky color choices as well."

"I love it! I don't like having to pump, but my baby can't breastfeed so it's a must. It was at best awkward to very frustrating having to hold the pumps on all the time. I'm so glad I can use my hands and pump at the same time! What a change! Thanks."

"I ordered this (PumpEase) and just got it in today. It's amaaaaaazing! I just used it for my first pumping session and I'm in love. It's so you can pump hands-free! Just thought I'd share my kick ass purchase! Does anyone else own one? I have the Verry Cherry one!"

"When Emily was born early she refused to breastfeed at all. So I had to use a breastpump for 6 months. I said I’d never do it again, but then Aves was born preemie too. Avery was different though because she was alot quicker to learn to breastfeed. So this week was a big challenge completed: I dropped one pumping session at a time until I didn’t need to pump at all anymore!! YAY! Today I’m putting the pump away - no more being tied to the evil machine. Although I did find one thing that made it easier and so I promote it big time. It's a hands free wrap for pumping called PumpEase. It's fantabulous. If you have to pump, you need one! Splurge and just buy one, after all you are saving oodles by pumping anyways."

"I ordered a PumpEase hands free pumping 'bra' and it came in a few days ago. I am IN LOVE!! It's basically a polyester tube top that holds the pump horns in place so you can have both of your hands free while pumping. It works REALLY well. Even when I was holding the horns on with my hands I would sometimes leak down my front when not paying enough attention, and that is a thing of the past!
I was also skeptical of the sizing and if it would work with larger BBs, but it does. One of my close friends has a more average sized chest and loves hers as well, so it seems like a great product all around.
The only downsides - it's a little spendy, and it took about a week to get here from Canada. Both minor inconveniences considering now I can surf the internet, pay bills, etc. while pumping."

"...There are several things on the market that have totally changed my life-style. One being this and the other being that, but none have changed my life as much as the PumpEase bra. This little baby has saved me much wasted time. And for those who know me well...I hate sitting around wasting time. It is extremely hard for me to sit and do just one thing at a time. For example, it's not unheard of for me to eat breakfast and unload the dishwasher at the same time. Or say, bathe the girls and clean up the bathroom. Or perhaps talk on the phone and drive.
The PumpEase is my newest way of multi-tasking. Now, I can claim to (whisper) pump while driving....pump while making cookies....pump while making dinner...and (gasp) pump while applying makeup. However, I can safely say I have never pumped while driving and applying make-up. Whew!
I'm telling you, ladies, if you pump on a regular basis, this is the product for you! If you have one, let me know. If you plan on getting one, let me know. If you hate it....well, you can tell me that too. But I'm guessing there aren't that many of you out there that aren't thrilled with the PumpEase.
*Disclaimer - I in no way am receiving any compensation for this rave review. In fact, PumpEase™ makers don't even know I own one. This is a fully unbiased review based on my personal experience not encouraged by the manufacturer."

I've had many people ask for advice about EP'ing since I have been doing it since day 1 and buying a hands-free, i.e. PumpEase, is part of my top 5 tips for making it successful."

I have got so much grading done that I'm actually more up-to-date with grades than I was before I was pregnant. Thank you so much for making PumpEase so easy to use, durable and cute!"

"Natalie is almost eight weeks, and I find it easiest to pump about a half an hour after I feed her. She usually conks out for a nap and I start pumping. I bought a Pumpease, and that has really helped, because I can rock her in her chair and have both hands free while I'm pumping."

"I love my PumpEase! I use it with my Medela Freestyle pump instead of the hands-free kit that it came with. The PumpEase is so much faster to put on and much simpler to use. Plus, it doesn't matter if you want to use it with a bra on or not. It works great for double and single sided pumping, holds the horns nice and tight for great suction, and is so small in the pump bag. Definitely a great product! I'm so glad I found it."

"I also invested in a PumpEase so I could pump hands-free. That saved my sanity, I kid you not. If you're going to pump more than a few times a week, I highly recommend spending the money. It makes a HUGE difference - especially if you aren't crafty enough to build your own hands-free pumping device!"

"I really love this product. I am known for purchasing the 'hottest baby products', however about half of the time I find that I am not one hundred percent impressed with my purchase. I was completely satisfied with this purchase from the moment it arrived in the mail. I love the way it looks, I love the fit and I especially love the fabric and the quality. I was a bit concerned that the horn openings would be too big and that the pump would not stay tight enough against me, however this was not the case at all even considering that I am quite petite. It fits so perfectly that the suction of the pump does all the work without having to touch anything. I also love that it is made in Canada rather than China, the latter of which I find often translates to poor quality. I own a double electric breast pump and was pumping quite frequently for about a month, so I wish I had purchased this earlier, however I am thankful that I have it now, as I plan to have more children. I am now very excited about pumping and am able to do all of the things that I used to try to do without the PumpEase (not very successfully I might add). This makes pumping a breeze and very enjoyable. I would highly recommend this product to anyone and have already done so. Thank-you again! :)"

"Thank you so much for following-up with me and for processing my refund. Although I did not end up being a user of your product, I can see what a benefit it would have been. I have already recommended PumpEase to my friends who are expecting and plan on breastfeeding. After all the research I did, it is my opinion that it is the best product on the market to meet the hands-free pumping need. Thank you so much for your customer service - it speaks volumes for your company."

"Before I purchased PumpEase, pumping was a bit of a chore. Trying to find time in a busy day to pump can sometimes be difficult. Now, with the PumpEase hands-free pumping support, I can do other tasks around the house. Plus, when at work, I can pump while getting work done which brings me home that much sooner to my daughter. I would recommend the PumpEase to anyone who pumps. Fantastic product!"

"This is my second child and I pumped at work with both. This round I kept looking for something simple to help me be able to pump both sides at once and still work. I've been looking, reading reviews on bras, etc. and then I found PumpEase by Google search. It seemed easy! So I ordered and it is so easy to use - quick to put on, quick to take off. I love it."

"I struggled for 4-1/2 months trying to find out how I could pump and use my hands at the same time. I finally started using tape. (I know, how horrible). When I started to develop redness on my skin I knew I had to find a different way to do it. I wondered 'Why the HELL doesn't Target or Walmart or Babies R Us for goodness sake have a hands free pumping bra/device thingie??' I was convinced I would invent it and make millions. Then I found and bought your PumpEase polka dot pump bra. OMG - Godsend. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Please convince these big box retailers that they NEED YOU! We moms need you!"

"I really try to pump each day to accumulate as much breast milk as possible for my little man but it was always a boring job as I couldn't do anything else. I would stare off into space and think of all of the things I could be doing while my wee one was being quiet. Imagine my excitement when I read on an online forum that there was a product that could let me be "hands-free" while doing this tedious task! Now I'm enjoying breakfast, catching up on emails, surfing the net - basically enjoying some "me" time while pumping! I am so happy with the product and absolutely will be using it daily. Thanks PumpEase!"

"I am loving this product. I wish that I would have discovered it two years ago, when I was pumping 3-4 times a day at work. Not only is PumpEase functional, but it covers a lot, too, which is great when your co-workers accidentally walk in on you. It is so comfortable. I also love that it is adjustable as a nursing mom's breasts change size as the amount of feedings change."

"I just wanted to share details about a FABULOUS product that I tried last night for the first time. It's called a PumpEase support and it allows me to use my double electric pump hands free ... without a special bra, or those clumsy rubber bands you hook onto your bra. It's a really simple band that you just wrap around yourself over your (opened) nursing bra and it holds the breastshields in place.
Seriously, I had been sitting holding my breastshields on while I pump ... and last night I browsed the internet instead ... and lost track of time.
Hope it helps someone else!"

It is also especially good for my Carpal Tunnel Syndrome - not having to hold the horns in place is a big strain off my wrists! Being able to change the channels on the TV or talk on the phone is a convenience that I didn't have before. I would highly recommend PumpEase to any Mom who needs some freedom of movement while pumping!"
