Opinions on Hands Free Breast Pump

Yes, used the pump in style, liked it fine, definitely worth it. I coudln't imagine not using a hands free one at work, especially.

I used a regular pump in style and a sports bra that I cut two holes in (cut the holes small they will stretch). Just make sure you get a bra that zips up the front. Cost me $18 which is a lot cheaper than those special pumping bras.

I just use the Pump In Style with the Easy Expressions hands free bra. Works great!!! Looks funny, yes, but it's a total lifesaver.

Loved it. I would highly recommend it. I used it for both my boys. I had a hard time producing, but that helped me get every last drop, and then some. It was comfortable(if a breast pump can be) and easy to use and fairly easy to clean. I had extra parts so I didnt have to wash all the time, just rinse right away and wash later. Worked well for when I went back to work.

I have the newest Medela Freestyle hands-free pump that weighs just 1 pound. There are pieces that let you clip the suction onto your bra (with adapters for different kinds of nursing bras). Fully charged it lasts for 3 hours so you are completely free to move around. It is very weird at first to hook everything up and I do feel like a "Dairy Queen" (this is the joke in our family), but I love mine and it was well worth the investment. I can eat, read the paper, feed the baby if I need to or type at my computer. I travel internationally for work and have used it on my trips as it is very lightweight and compact. For me, it was well worth the investment.

I never used the hands free breast pump, but extensively used a Medela Pump-In-Style with a hands free "bustier". I just googled it and I think it's now being marketed by Easy Expression. I pumped with each of my three of my kids for a year at work. The hands free device enabled me to not feel like I was taking time away from the job to pump, which I believe, made it easier to continue for so long. I brought work or my laptop into the mother's room and just continued my day.

I used the Medela hands free and I loved it! I wasn't totally into breastfeeding but knew it was the healthiest for my now 1 yr old boy. I thought this was so easy and effective. With my 9 yr old daughter, I never pumped, just breastfed and this contraption looked a little scary to me but my fiance pressed me to try it and I was really happy. I turned it all the way up and it didn't hurt much, I did it for about 3 months and was very pleased. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone!

I've have that option on mine and tried it once. It was a riot! My husband worked on his grandparents dairy farm growing up and after seeing my with the hands fee pump... he suggested I NEVER use it again around him (as we laughed).

It "works", but is a bit weird and the only thing it "helps" is from your hands falling asleep sitting in one position too long while pumping. You can't "DO" anything while pumping hands free... at least that was my experience.

It might work for others though - it's funny!
