Can you wear this bra the whole day or you have to put it on every time ? I have very limited time for pumping

You definitely don't want to wear this all day. It offers no support and no shape, and it's rather bulky; you would see it through any shirt. It's quick to put on, though: just throw the straps over your shoulders like you're putting on a coat, and zip it up in the front. You don't have to worry about adjusting size every time, either, since you don't have to mess with the adjustable parts to take it off.

Definitely put this on just for pumping. I wore it for a couple hours while power pumping, but that was while hiding out in bed. Otherwise, it isn't comfortable to wear all day, nor does it provide support. It works great for pumping, though!

I couldn't wear it as an all day bra, but I wear a much larger size. It's easy to put on and off over a nursing bra though. No straps (unless you connect) and zips up the front. Very quick and easy to wear and put on.

No, you would just put this on over top your regular nursing bra when you want to pump. It would not be comfortable to wear all day.

I have to second Michelle's post. I LOVE my Isis Duo pump & use it 6 times a day---it really pumps out my milk! My breasts grew form 33DD to 33H and my nipples were becoming bruised in the Isis. I removed the petals which helped, but didn't solve the problem. I read about the Pumpin Pal during a late night of very painful pumping & ordered them. They are incredible! The XL encases about half of my breast tissue which seems to pull out even more milk--and the pumping tube is now so long that my nipples don't hit anything--they just extract milk. It's the best complement to the ISIS. I also have the Simple Wishes bra which is also a great product and allows you to go hands free in pumping. Good luck! I have to second Michelle's post.

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... ;)

What do fat guys and women have in common? We both have breast! I wear mine up high where my pistol is basically in my arm pit. Took about 10 min. to get used to. To me, it still beats the heck out of every other option. I'm in and out of the truck all day and work outside. I wear this holster everyday with a large fram pistol and I love it.

I wear mine clipped in the middle of my bra, with the face turned in toward my body. I wear it there everyday. Nobody has noticed that it's there, and it doesn't interfere with my clothes at all.

I would buy extra membranes. They are very thin and can break easily. Plus you probably need to replace them every few months. I have found if my production starts going down and I change the membranes, it goes back up. I would also get a good hands free pumping bra. Mine did not come with a nipple for the bottles, so you would need that to feed a baby, and you would need extra bottles for the baby.Medela Spare Membranes

My brace is very tight and use it for gym workout and tai chi...so use it an hour at a time.it is too uncomfortable to wear it over ang period of time.

I can wear them for about 30 minutes with socks. After that, it starts hurting. Anyway, you are not supposed to wear them for too long as this makes the glands overactive.

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. After a couple hours it might start become a little uncomfortable and sweaty, but can be worn all day. I myself use it most of the day.

Consistency is the key for growth. Two hours pumping in the morning and two at night. Expect a reasonable amount of soreness when you get started and each time you push a little harder after your breast have gotten used to it, like exercise. And make toj just get the right size. Don't try to save money in getting the size you think you'll soon fit into. It'll justake things difficult. And preferably get silicone rings to fit or second choice foam. Makes the indention from pumping smoother

I wear it only during the day when needed. It's too uncomfortable for me to wear at night (in bed). If I am doing work around the house at night, then I will sometimes wear it, but take it off at bedtime. Hope this helps!

I wear a sports bra when I go to the gym but usually don't wear one when I have my evening walk. It keeps the "girls" in place. I just throw a loose t-shirt over it because it is very form fitting.Hope that helps!

I wear them whenever I need the support. If I wear them during the day, I take them off in the late afternoon then put them on right before I go to sleep. They work great. The only thing I would mention is to watch where you use them so they don't get dirty. I spot clean mine so I'm not sure how well they would wash.

Yes you can wear it all the time. Helps with the pain. I had therapy and they recommended it.

I am exclusively pumping while my baby is still in the NICU and I use it for every time I pump (every 3 hours around the clock), so I ended up buying a second one so that I could always have one clean if one was in the laundry. I only put it on to pump and you wear it over your nursing bra, so I leave it in my pumping bag.

I use it daily, but at night. I feel like its a little too filmy to wear during the day/under makeup. I don't think it gives a lot of moisture, but rather balances out my skin.
