Simple Wishes Hands Free Pumping Bustier Review & Giveaway

All I can say about the Simple Wishes Hands Free Pumping Bustier is this: how in the world did I not know about this sooner?! 

I spent over 6 months exclusively pumping before I got my hands on the Simple Wishes bra. I thought I had a pretty good system going - I would always wear those camis with the shelf bra in them under my shirt, so I'd tuck the pump flanges into the shelf bra, and then if I hunched over just right they would stay in place enough that I could type on my computer. But if I needed to, say, grab something off my night stand, or pick up one of E's toys for him... forget it. I had to unhook or do that weird holding-the-pump-on-my-boobs-with-one-arm trick. And that inevitably leads to the pump straying off center... and that, um, hurts. Bad. 

Enter Simple Wishes. When I first got it, I was so excited to try it! It took a few minutes to adjust it for me (I took out the center panel, and adjusted the velcro in the back), and it took awhile for me to figure out how to get the pump centered on my nipples. I was used to being able to really see what I was doing, so it took a few tries. By the time I got it figured out, I was kind of like "Seriously? Seriously. I'm not sure if this whole hands-free thing is worth it if it takes me 20 minutes to hook up!" But being able to freely type, text, and grab whatever I needed without anything budging out of place was glorious. Really. 

So I tried the pumping bra again the next day. It took a little less time to put on. And oh how I loved the convenience of it, once it was on. After a few more times using it, it really added no extra time to my usual pumping set up. And now, I use it literally at every pump. I start panicking if I can't find it (don't ask me how it gets lost. I'm like a wizard at losing things). Like, how am I supposed to pump without it?! As if it's my bottles or tubing or something. But really, since E has become mobile, it has become instrumental to my pumping success. It's so much easier to sit down to pump when I know that if I need to hand E a toy that's out of his reach or help him stand back up when he falls down, I'm not going to have to stop pumping to do it. 

The things that I loved about this bra are as follows:

It's adjustable: I love how adjustable it is. My boobs have definitely changed sizes since I first began pumping, and the vast range of sizes that the Simple Wishes bra is able to accommodate ensures that it will fit for as long as you're pumping (and will last through another baby, even!). I love that.

It works: It holds those flanges where they're supposed to be. I can't stress enough how important that is. The "Four Way Layering Support" really does its job. 

It's pretty!: I love the soft pink color. And it's sooooo soft.

The only thing that I was disappointed about was that it's pretty impractical to wear under your clothes all day. It's just a little too bulky for that, and there's, you know, that hole where you put the pump ;). Because I'm all crazy and occasionally pump while commuting, I was hoping that it would help me with that. Like I would be able to just lift up my shirt, hook up the pump and go, you know? As it is, I put it on and take it off every time I pump, and I wish it was more conducive to being worn as a normal bra. 

Overall, it's a great product, and it's helped me to become as happy as this woman in the picture, even while exclusively pumping...
