Does this come with a bustier? If not, which do you use? Anyone familiar with Medela Easy Expression bustier?

I have the Simple Wishes and the Easy Expression pumping bras. Simple Wishes is by far the superior product (more support, not as "flimsy", can wear it as a bra on days you will need to pump in inconvenient places like work or an airplane), but I used Easy Expression with my first child with no real issues. In fact Easy Expression is slightly easier to use in the middle of the night because there are two open holes and just one zip. With Simple Wishes, because it's adjustable, there's like a little flap to manipulate as you put it on. It's no big deal, but when every second of sleep counts... ;)

No, just the shirt. I'm pretty busty and wear a regular sports bra under with swim bottoms and that works well for support. I wouldn't wear alone because it wouldn't leave much to the imagination when wet.

Yes, we've been really pleased with it. If the baby isn't breastfed then there's no point buying this, but if the baby switches back and forth between bottle and breast you'll be happy to have it. If you're buying it for a mom who already has a bunch of Medela stuff (pump, bottles, etc) then I recommend buying the CALMA nipple in the 8oz option. Unless the prices have changed, you get way more for your money with that option (2 bottles versus just 1) and I already had a bunch of 5oz Medela bottles. The two 8oz bottles that came with the CALMA nipple i purchased are still the only two 8oz bottles I own, so I'm glad I did it that way....kinda killed two birds with one stone.

Medela brand accessories i would recomend the charger and exta pumping parts. For non Medela i would highly recommend Pumpin pals flanges to pump with. They are a lot more comfortable then the ones that come with this and are easier on the nipples.

they work with nearly any style. I wouldn't suggest using a strapless though. you *can buy bras with an insert for these breastforms, but you don't need to.

Not sure about your measurements, but I am a little chesty and the Small/Medium is too big for me. Not overweight, and I have a pretty wide chest. If you have a Sports Authority nearby, they carry these. You can try it on to see if it will fit, but I think the average sized woman should be able to fit into the Small/Medium without any real difficulty.

You need the center panel depending on the distance between breasts. I called the company about it and guessed I didn't need it. You can always buy the bra & see, and then if you need the center panel order it directly front the company (& it is less costly that way then buying it together from Amazon).

I just read another answer and see that your initial reason for the question (opposite answers/reviews) is still a problem. So, let me try and be a little bit more specific. While the wrap fits well on me and I'm a larger woman (16/18) I'm also proportioned evenly. In other words, I don't look like I wear a size 18...I probably look more like a 14. I think if you're proportioned unevenly, then you may have issues with the wrap staying closed; especially if you're more pear shaped. Also, if you're larger than a size 18 or 38D bust, you'll probably feel like it's too small.

I don't think it's medela brand but it worked really well for us. Our baby was in the NICU for weeks and we lived far so I HAD to be able to pump while driving to go visit her everyday in order to keep up my milk supply. I highly recommend it. The only thing is you have to make sure you plug it into the back of machine all the way... It's a snug fit.

It makes it fit a wider range of women. I do not use mine. It was pointless for me. But I'm sure if you are broader than I am it might be helpful.

Yes as I am a very big breasted woman myself, this product does in fact work on a large breasted woman but it's got a very weak milk suction so if ur milk production is a large amount I would suggest another pump as in the lansinoah or a medela double breast pump because the medela actual a has parts u can purchase to fit ur breast size and then some. The lansinoah was the first pump I ever used and it worked excellent plus it gives u tutorials and such.... I hope my answer helped u.

I had no breast and it fit perfectly. Not 100% flat, but slightly concave, just enough to sort of cling to my body. It stayed in place. Mine were shaped teardrop. Easy to keep clean. Since then I had reconstruction with bad results after 3 surgeries. Should have stayed with the forms.

I'm not speaking from experience, but totally! A busty friend of mine uses wraps and she has no issues, its comfortable for feeds and everything adjusts to your shape since you really are wrapping a large piece of fabric around you.

I can't speak for all models as I only have this one but I can tell you I love it. My hair is not super fine but in between. I can say it makes my hair look and feel so much fuller! I also love the cool setting that sets your hair. I feel like I invested in this and took a chance. I usually buy the cheap dryers which are all awful. I am glad I got this!!!! I also blow my hair upside down to make it fuller. Hope this helps you. It's worth the money!

My bra size is 36B, (unless I am full of milk, then it is 36C-D) The size I have for this is all sizes. Extra small to large. It ties in the back and has straps if you need it. I guess the straps is for larger breast as well. The bra also have a zipper if you have a single pump.

Yes, I have been able to use Medela bottles. The fit seems to be slightly off, but not enough to really matter.
