Just be careful on the sizing. If you have really large breasts, I’m not sure how this bra would work. I’m a 34D. I originally ordered a small, but couldn’t even zipper the bra up. The medium fits perfectly.

I wish I would have understood the construction of the bra better, though. It is not that there is anything wrong with it. I just didn’t know its design, and that came as a bit of a surprise. It is a strapless bra, almost like a corset or bustier, as it extends down your ribcage (about halfway to my navel). If you look at the picture that accompanies the product, the way it fits the woman is about the same as the way it fits me. There is a zipper that runs up the front middle of the bra, in between your breasts. This is how you “fasten” and “unfasten” the bra. For pumping, you unzip it a bit when you are getting ready to pump, insert the shields, and then zip back up again.

The biggest surprise for me, though, is that there are no flaps to cover the holes of the bra when you are not pumping. In other words, when you aren’t pumping, your nipples are exposed. There’s no snappable covers like there are on the other nursing bras I have. Because I’m not willing to have my nipples rubbing against my work blouses, I’ve been inserting nursing pads in there to cover myself , but it is an extra step and somewhat of an inconvenience. It’s not a big deal, and I wouldn’t take the bra back as a result. But I was just surprised, and so wanted to share that with other women considering this product.

I also found that it ran a little small, though I am right on the dividing line between Small and Medium (34B). I decided not to return it, because I didn’t want to pay for the return shipping and because I thought it would be better to err on the side of slightly too tight. After all, this is a zippable, strapless bra that I am going to be trying to hold a pump up with. So, I figure it will slightly loosen over time, as all bras do, and I want to make sure it is always tight enough to hold the pump.

My advice to pumping moms would be to buy this sooner rather than later so that you can get the full benefits of your pumping! It is well worth the money, especially since it costs less than many of the nursing bras out there.

One issue, we ended up with a tear in one of the stockings (Not quite sure how that happened) so they would seem to be a little cheap, this is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.
