Best Hands-Free Pumping Bras

Why do I need a Hands-Free Pumping Bra?

You can certainly pump without one, but every mom who has spent any time pumping would agree that a hands-free pumping bra makes pumping so much better. Typical pumping sessions last from 15 – 40 mins, and manually holding your pump shields in place will quickly make your arms and back ache.

Just as its name suggests, a hands-free pump bra holds your pump shields secure to your breasts so you don’t have to. Your hands are free to hold your baby, work, check your phone, read a book, direct your attention to an older child, and so on. Hands-Free Pump Bras empower breastfeeding moms to be the multi-tasking mavens that we are and squeeze a little more goodness out of every precious minute.

Which Hands-Free Breast Pump Bra is best for me?

Consider the context in which you’re pumping.

Are you on-the-go throughout the day? An all-in-one pumping and nursing bra eliminates the need to change bras during the day and allows you to easily transition from one context to the next.

Are you pumping in combination with nursing? All the bras that we feature here also allow you to pump on one breast and nurse baby on the other simultaneously.

Do you mostly pump at home? A strap-on pumping support is an easy and inexpensive accessory for convenient pumping.

Our list below is a selection of some of the best pumping and nursing bras to fit a variety of needs.

Which Hands-Free Pumping Bra is compatible with my breast pump?

The Hands-Free Pump Bras that we carry are compatible with every major breast pump brand. If you’re unsure about yours, contact us at customerservice@figure8moms.com and we’ll be happy to help.
