If we can talk on the phone hands-free, is there any reason we shouldn't be able to pump that way? Any mom who has ever tried to relax while pumping knows it's no easy feat. Try to read a book while holding the contraption's horns up to your breasts. More likely than not, you will drop something and end up spilling some hard earned liquid gold. PumpEase ($34), a bra-like, stretchy fabric goes right over your nursing bra and has little slits to hold the pump's pieces in place, leaving your hands free to multitask.
Would you invest in one?
It fit, it just didn't work for me at all.
No but only because I was able to borrow one first and realize it was all wrong for me. I know a lot of people who found it invaluable and I do recommend it when friends seem to have a need, it's just that for me it was even more difficult. I just rested the bottles on my knees and read a magazine or book while I pumped. I'm very large breasted and short-torsoed, though. For someone who can't balance them that way, it works well.
