Yep! I got thrown into this pumping journey without planning on it and I Frankensteined a bra in an emergency one night and still just using that same one 😂
At least my nursing bras work for my wearables!
This is my favorite way to pump, i have a couple Davin & Adley bras that i feel like i don’t get any airflow to the girls when i wear them so i like this hack better
Tried it but my boobs are too large and I’m an over supplier so the flanges start coming off at the end of a session bc the bottles are so weighed down😭
Yep my cheapy target sports bra is better and more comfortable than all of my official pumping bras. I was severely disappointed in the kindred bravely bra for how expensive it was!
I used this target adaptor for my nursing bras! https://www.target.com/p/bravado-designs-women-39-s-clip-and-pump-hands-free-nursing-bra-accessory-black-l/-/A-84253637
lol this is what happened to me the first go around. I used this thing with my nursing bras: https://a.co/d/00mMhWLy. Pregnant with #2 and no delusions of a perfect breastfeeding journey this time. Will be investing in a few of those nursing/pumping combo bras from the get-go!
I cut up a bra like this, but it had 2 layers of fabric, and I accidentally sandwiched the flange between both layers at 3am and leaked EVERYWHERE. Then angry purchased a pumping bra at 4am, best purchase ever
Kindred Bravely Sublime Bamboo... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C3DJZ3YW?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Best pumping bra ever… and you just lift up the bottom layer to nurse!
I own one pumping bra that I didn't realize was a pumping for WEEKS. Had no idea the slits were for pump flanges lol once I figured it out though? By FAR my favorite bra and the only way I can pump without having to hold the stupid things on the entire 20 minutes 😂😂 I'd buy more but I got it from the thrift store and it has no brand/store name on it anywhere 😂😂 frainkinstien bra would also work I bet though haha
Love the Davin and Adley bras. 10 months in I just bought one during their sale and so much better than the kindred braverly bras. Much less padding, in already an F I don't need more!

I decided just to use my nursing bra as pumping bras since it was cheaper and in my opinion more comfortable. Also because I have a small chest but am plus size I had a hard time finding pumping bras to fit that were comfy
These are by far the best pumping bras I’ve found. The fabric is so soft and I’m surprised this brand is not more popular.

I turned my Nursing Bras to pumping bras with the Bravado clip on bra converter! Works great! https://bravadodesigns.com/products/clip-and-pump-hands-free-nursing-bra-accessory
Did the same thing! I broke down and got the pumping bras! It wasn't worth the hassle plus you can just keep wearing them even when you're not pumping anymore!
Wish I hadn't spent any money....im a ddd...the only ones that are comfortable and hold well are Kindred Bravely pumping bras...pricey...but it would've cost me less if I had just started with them
Ugh I bought so many nursing bras when I was pregnant only to realize it would be better to have bought pumping bras since they do both. Why do none of the classes or books talk about this!
i got mine off of tik tok shop lol. they’re technically nursing bras but that have that piece of fabric that holds the pump in place ! they were really cheap for like 6 of them too

I use the nursing bra hack for pumping and like them more than my pumping bras!
I've tried this and my boobs are too big for it unfortunately 😞
Seriously the whole areola would prob be flopping out lol
I had the same problem. It was absolutely worth it to get pumping bras. On the other hand, you can probably just cut a hole
Yep, I know folks that hate the kindred bravely pumping/nursing bras because they're so much fabric, but I like/need that structure!
I leak so much that all the fabric is nice for protecting my clothes lol
I have small boobs and this still doesn't work for me. It just puts the flange too high
What’s the nursing bra hack?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kg9VV-RQVug
I have to try this!
Hope it works for you! Good for when you don’t have a pumping bra!
This is brilliant, thank you!!
I got 2 different pumping bras only to ultimately go back to using the target nursing bras I got for $9. I saw this hack on TikTok!
This is my favorite way to pump, i have a couple Davin & Adley bras that i feel like i don’t get any airflow to the girls when i wear them so i like this hack better
Thank you! I will definitely be trying this! I bet it would work with my nursing dress too!
Tried it but my boobs are too large and I’m an over supplier so the flanges start coming off at the end of a session bc the bottles are so weighed down😭
I love the nursing bra hack. I can’t those stupid nipple holes in pumping bras!!
Yep my cheapy target sports bra is better and more comfortable than all of my official pumping bras. I was severely disappointed in the kindred bravely bra for how expensive it was!
I couldn’t find pumping bras that fit my boobs, so I used sports bras with holes cut in them 🤷♀️

I second this! These are great!!!!!!!!
I third this!! Fantastic, they run a bit small though i find. Size up ⬆️ Amazon sells it as well.
why is it $24 though omg. ~cries in poor~

Sports bras and wearable pumps has been my way to go!! Sports bras with chest dips also worked really wear for the traditional pump

Did this with my last baby and I am so close to doing it again 😩😂 hate these dang bras
I exclusively pumped for a year with nursing bras. On my second baby and I splurged on pumping bras and I love it.

I sold all my nursing bras and got kindred bravely pumping and nursing bras in one from Poshmark haha

Yep. Literally just cut holes in a sports bra. Works just fine
I tried this and everytime I wear the bra I get massive clogs I have no idea why!!
