A hands-free breast pump bra can change a new mother’s breastfeeding experience — and it may, consequentially, even lengthen the time she nurses her baby. That's because a hands-free breast pump bra not only frees up a mom's hands during pumping sessions to talk, text or type, but it also helps create a better seal for the pump flanges to improve suction.

A common feature of hands-free pumps is the list of settings from which to choose. For example, a faster setting will allow a mother to draw milk more quickly, which is convenient for working moms who have a limited amount of time. Plus, most hands-free pumps also come with accessories that further simplify pumping, such as tote bags complete with bottles and ice packs so working moms have everything they need for pumping at the office.

Bra sizes normally range from 32AA to 48H in most styles. They typically feature discreet slits in the fronts or sides, or they have pull-down designs so moms can slip in the suction top of a hands-free pump. There is a design style for every mother, ranging from seamless, lacey and sexy lingerie to cross-over and sports bras for bustier moms or moms with breasts that are engorged and heavier than usual. There are also strapless bras available, and some have reversible zippers and added Velcro panels for comfort and sizing — ultimately, however, all of the materials used are carefully selected for softness and comfort with sensitive nipples in mind.
