Medela Easy Expression Bustier - Black / Small

The Medela Easy Expression Bustier is a hands-free pumping lifesaver. It's comfortable, easy to put on, and securely holds pump shields in place, allowing me to multitask while pumping. This brilliant design has made my pumping sessions much more convenient. It's a must-have for any busy breastfeeding mom who wants to reclaim some freedom and productivity during pumping. Highly recommended!

I was super surprised with this purchase. I started my breastfeeding journey realised that holding both of the pumps wasn’t viable, I was wasting precious time. I brought this in the biggest size available thinking that it wouldn’t fit it did. It was tight but that’s what I needed to ensure a comfortable fit. My only gripe was that it was difficult and awkward to put on alone but this was likely more because it was so tight. Would definitely recommend to anyone pumping.

This thing was super convenient! I ended up getting one of these towards the end of my pumping journey lol and had wished I wouldn't have sat on it for so long. I'm super proud of myself for exclusively pumping for 9 months straight. I made the extremely difficult decision to stop pumping when my daughter was 9 months old, it was really getting harder as she started becoming more mobile as I had no help with her my husband was working and even when he was home he couldn't and still can't handle her on his own for very long. I was completely devastated but for my mental health it was time. I was planning to breastfeed but things got ugly right after she was born and we ended up in the nicu 3 days after she was born for another 5 days it was chaotic and I never got ... MoreThis thing was super convenient!

I was planning to breastfeed but things got ugly right after she was born and we ended up in the nicu 3 days after she was born for another 5 days it was chaotic and I never got the time or help to get started so I ended up just pumping. Even though I got this bra thing towards the end it helped me go a little bit longer and that counts as a win in my book. So if you're debating on purchasing this just do it!! It's totally worth it!!

An absolute must if you’re pumping

Would recommend this to anyone who is pumping, especially if you’re using a double pump. Having the ability to use your hands, i.e eat and drink, whilst pumping pretty much changes those initial days when you’re attached to a pump multiple times a day and just need some sustenance. Would recommend, and have recommend this bustier.

Arrived very quickly. Item as described. Its a great product. Now I can be hands free while pumping. Thank you

Have to use detachable flanges

I like this product although rarely use it now. It made the early days of pumping easy and I'm sure if I pumped more than just bare necessity I would use it more. I have multiple brands of pump parts and found fitting the flanges of the Spectra pump almost impossible as they are attached and you are trying to get a too big flange through a too small hole. I would love to see a way of widening the flange hole in future products.

Impossible to use

Acording to the size chart I shoud wear a small, my postpartum bra size is 34C. I purchased a small and it was too small. I exchanged it for a medium and in my opinion it is still too small. The feature that makes this impossible to use is the tiny holes where a breast pump flange is supposed to be inserted. I use a Spectra and no amount of stretching would allow my flange to be inserted. The holes are the size of an index finger and they are barely able to stretch more than a couple of inches.

Medela Bustier

This bustier has been a God send. Being able to pump hands free makes life so much easier, especially as I have a toddler and an infant. I am able to change nappies, walk around the house doing chores etc instead of sitting holding a pump. I also love that I can double pump and save time! It fits really well and has barely stretched since I began using it 5 months ago. I originally bought 3 different brands of pumping bra but the Medela is the only one I use now.

Superb product

I had read negative reviews of this product before purchasing it so I was sceptical about how useful it would be but it’s really transformed my life! I’m now able to get on with life while expressing milk, having both hands free rather than being stuck sitting holding two bottles while I double-pump. This bustier fits perfectly and holds up well. Bear in mind that I have very small breasts (was around 34A pre-pregnancy and they aren’t much bigger now 9 weeks post-partum) so I can’t speak to how useful it is for people with large breasts.I couldn’t live without this bustier now - such a great investment. I highly, highly recommend it.

You'll hate your 2 a.m. pump

This pumping bra is great for all intents a purposes, until it's 2 a.m. and you are fighting with the stupidest little hook into the even stupider little hole to be able to zip the dang bra up. The bra does what it's supposed to, holds the pump flanges in place so you can be hands free and for that I even gave it 1 star. But when you are beyond exhausted, waking up after 1 hour of sleep because your baby wouldn't go down the LAST thing you want to play is thread the needle to be able to even zip the dng bra up! Whoever designed that stupid little mechanism deserves to be slapped and charged with human indecency because this person clearly doesn't understand what it is to be a breast pumping mother beyond exhausted try to just breathe an ounce of sanity into her ... MoreThis pumping bra is great for all intents a purposes, until it's 2 a.m. and you are fighting with the stupidest little hook into the even stupider little hole to be able to zip the dang bra up.

Until this delightful little error is fixed my rating will remain at a 1, because at least once I've managed to get the dang hook through the bra it does do its job of giving me the use of my hands so I can type this review.
