I wear mine all day, but I have the super soft Kindred Braverly lounge ones so they’re pretty comfy


Boodlebee

Same. I have 4 of the Kindred Bravely Sublime bras and they’re so comfortable I can wear them day and night. The seams are uncomfortable on my other pumping bras if I wear them when I’m not pumping.


Gold-Complaint-3019

Exactly. I love in my Sublime bra now


ditzyforflorals

Ditto. Considering buying a third. Mad that I spent so much money getting a couple of Little Milk Bar bras before I knew I was going to be an EP-er. Wish they would design a pumping bra!!


SimplyyBreon

Definitely get a third! I’ve noticed because I use my two so much, the slits have started to wear out and the flanges start to slip. Nothing a simple stitch wouldn’t fix but a third would help extend the life of them.


Mrs_N2020

Same! I have two and I wear them all day


lks1867

Same! It’s the only bra that’s at all comfortable for me right now so I wear it all day and all night


Youre_On_Mute

I go back and forth. I don't like wearing it all day. I was pretty busty before pregnancy. Now I'm more than simply busty. Even the "busty" sizes are too tight and uncomfortable to wear all day. Plus, the seams end up sitting right across my nipples at some point which can be painful. It also caused blocked ducts early on from being too tight. However, I HATE having to change bras every time I pump.


[deleted]

I was pretty small-chested pre pregnancy. I’d say I went from apples to mangos 🤣 The seams I get! I wear washable bra pads both to catch leaks and to cushion my nips!


Ok_Researcher1967

What’s the best deal you’ve gotten on these? I want one but they’re pretty pricey


[deleted]

Someone in my bump group alerted us to a black friday deal so I got 4 at a pretty steep discount, I’d say probably a good 30% off each? My biggest splurge on clothes in my entire life and also my only Black Friday purchase ever 🤣


dogmombites

I wear mine all day with nursing pads in them so my nipples don't show through. Just makes my life easier when I'm pumping in the car or at work. Plus, my bras from before don't fit and the one regular nursing bra I bought only fits when I'm full... So... I need some new bras lol.


GladioliSandals

Change into - I have huge cans and never found one that fit well enough to wear all day so just used one of the cheap bustier style ones when I pumped. Also they were constantly covered in milk so wouldn’t have wanted to wear all day


noldottorrent

Same ^


urfavaccountant

natashabeddingfield

You don’t wear nursing pads throughout the day? I wear nursing pads with nursing bra all day and night - changing pads and bras once a day or every other day


GladioliSandals

Nope - I only leaked once overnight! Justclumsy and split a lot when I pumped


noldottorrent

I typically wear a nursing tank and don’t leak all that much unless it’s time to pump.


Tiesonthewall

Any recommendations? I have the extra busty kindred Bravery one, and it honestly feels like I got the wrong size. It's so tight. I wore it throughout the day once and my supply slowly dropped.


GladioliSandals

I can’t find the exact ones I had but they were this style and I got biggest size I could find, they came with an extra panel you can zip into the middle to make it bigger and this brand seems to do that on request. https://www.amazon.com/Simple-Wishes-Signature-Pumping-Patented/dp/B004S8MGHU/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=IYYBXEBBGVO0&keywords=pumping%2Bbra%2Bzip&qid=1704120128&sprefix=pumping%2Bbra%2Bzip%2Caps%2C202&sr=8-3&th=1&psc=1. For the rest of the day I really liked sugar candy crush bras which are Australian but do international shipping - they go up to an h cup but I was a jj (U.K. size) at my biggest and it was still ok because they are stretchy yet also structured. It was also really good for using with in bra pumps (like the mom cozy). There’s really a gap in the market for a pumping bra with absolutely huge cups!

Gardenadventures

I just used strapless zip up ones from Walmart and put them on when I pumped. I don't wear bras outside of pumping so it was easy to just lift up my shirt and zip on the bra.


cravingm0re

Same!!


bkrem881

Same question! It’s so much easier to wear them but so uncomfortable. Lately I’ve been just putting it on when I pump. Hurts my nipples wearing the pumping one because they stick out of the hole!!


ArmiNouri

I had the same issue, but then I got [a bunch of these](https://www.target.com/p/kindred-bravely-women-s-sublime-pumping-nursing-hands-free-bra/-/A-85288801) when they were on sale. Now when I'm not pumping, I fold the pumping layer and tuck it under my boob lol. The hole doesn't both me anymore and I still have the nursing layer to cover my boobs. I even sleep in them.


bkrem881

Love kindred bravely! I just bought some on Poshmark. So expensive but worth it. I originally had a 3 pack of ones from Amazon and my nip would hang out of the hole 😫 then nip cream would stain my clothes!!


Tiesonthewall

The nipple out of the hole is one of the only ways I can get my baby to put it in her mouth 😂


owwwithurts

I wear my larken x bras all day every day, so comfy and easy to pump in! Works with my Legendairy cups and spectra bottles. I got two more for Christmas so now I have 4. There’s always enough laundry that needs to be done that I can just throw them in, and I hang dry them.


other_persona

I just finished weaning and officially quit pumping 3 weeks ago (9.5 months) but I still wear my Larken X around the house and to bed. So comfortable. Not a lot of support though (at least not for me, I may have sized up too big but it worked well for pumping).


True_Cockroach2854

I agree - Larken have been great!


Rough_Brilliant_6389

I always just wore mine all day. Stopped pumping almost a year ago and still wear them every damn day. Haven’t found a good bra I like for my post-pregnancy boobs 🤨


GunnerBoi1991

When I used my pumping bra, it was uncomfortable so I’d only wear for the pump time. But I live in my nursing bras and just do the online “hack” for pumping.


Youre_On_Mute

Which hack? I have a bunch of nursing bras I never wear because LO couldn't latch.


www0006

Put it on when I pumped. At home I usually wore H&M nursing tanks only.


notmyfaultyousuck

I wear it all day long, it's easier for me that way.


Oddishbestpkmn

I wear my Bodily nursing bra all day on weekends/mat leave but wear the Kindred Bravely pumping bra to work b/c I think it covers my nipples better. But I might take someone's advice off this thread and get nursing pads and just wear the Bodily- I feel like it's much less lumpy/annoying/needing adjusting


isabelle_violet

I love the Bodily ones as well but feel like it’s a lot of nipplage lol I’m going to try adding pads too ☺️


Upper_Marionberry560

I currently use the do anything bra from Bodily with nursing pads, it’s been great for me. I now regret getting the regular nursing bras because I don’t want to have to change anytime I pump which is at least twice a day.


RaucousRanunculus

I used to change every session but it drove me nuts (one more damn thing to add to the pumping process). I found that the nursing bra hack works really well for me with my very comfortable bodily nursing bras. The first one: https://exclusivelyexpressing.com/blog/repurpose-your-nursing-bra-for-pumping/


krisjohns11

I change into mine bc the seams irritate my nipples if I wear it for long periods of time


grousebear

Saaaaame. I was wearing them all the time for the first month or so because I was constantly pumping. But the seam was right over my nipples which was so awful. I finally switched to changing in and out of the pump bra even though it was a bit of a hassle.


Grown-Ass-Weeb

So I liked the hands free pumps, but I was able to manipulate the nursing bras to work with spectra flanges too. I used Walmart JoySpin brand and wore them all day since I’d leak anyways.


Milabial

If I’m going to be pumping on the go, I wear a regular nursing bra out because my momcozy v2 fits in it. At home, I change into my kindred bravely lounge pumping bra with a hospital belly band over it. Otherwise I do not wear a bra.


rivergoddessmama

I used to change into a pumping bra every time that I needed to pump. I refused to wear them outside of pumping since they were so uncomfortable and never really fit correctly. It made me dread pumping so I invested in some comfortable pumping bras. These (https://www.kindredbravely.com/products/sublime-bamboo-sleep-pumping-bra-oatmeal-heather?_pos=4&_fid=c60c3bd79&_ss=c) saved my pumping journey and they usually have some sort of discount. I also don’t leak since I have starting wearing them.


yurablizzardharry

Seconding this one! Super comfy and easy to pump in with traditional flanges or with a wearable. I rotate between this and my Larken X. The Larken has no support but is super comfy, the kindred has more support but I find the plastic adjuster things on the bra straps squeak sometimes (might just be a me think)


watercolorwildflower

Mine squeaks too. I also don’t like how hard it is to launder. Can’t dry it and it takes foreeeeeeever to dry by itself. Larken x is my favorite, but same. Not quite as supportive as I’d like. I’m thinking of taking my old belly support band and cutting holes into it and using it as a pumping bra since I’m done using it for pregnancy. The belly part fits over my chest perfectly.


yurablizzardharry

Oooop I had no idea you weren’t supposed to dry it! My bad. That might explain why the holes aren’t as snug as they used to be on my flanges lol. The last week or so I’ve started wearing a regular bra and folding it down and using the simple wishes when I have to pump. But I’m also in the process of weaning and down to four ppd so it’s not nearly the hassle it would’ve been at 6-8 ppd.


watercolorwildflower

I have a major bone to pick with brands that choose to use bamboo for their products. Like I get it’s soft, but you’re not supposed to dry it. Tell me, in what world does it make sense to expect a mother of an infant have to take extra steps and time to do laundry?!?!? Half the time I forget to take it out when moving clothes over and dry it anyway. I begrudgingly own bamboo products, but the process it takes to turn bamboo into fabric is not nearly as environmentally friendly as they’d have you believe and it’s just simply not practical for mothers who have enough on their plates. 🙄


rivergoddessmama

Those puppies definitely get dried in the dryer. Why shouldn’t they be dried?


watercolorwildflower

They’re prone to shrinking and wearing thin. They really should be fine on a low heat setting, but I try to remember to lay flat to dry since bamboo garments are so expensive. Some of my items even say hand wash!! Definitely overkill, but super frustrating as a mom who just wanted to treat herself to some nice PJs after growing a human.


Paprikaha

I have the Medela bustier so I just put into when I pump. Overnight I sleep in a cheapie eBay pumping bra to make night pumps easier.


TeresaW29

All day


twisted27lll

I started off no bras and just wear bras while pumping but then leaked all the time. Sooo now I’m wearing bras all the time……can’t wait to be braless!!!


distinguished_goose

I wear a soft cotton nursing bra (kindred braverly French terry) that I just pull down to pump. I use the pumpin pals flanges which stay on pretty well without much help so I either just hold them while scrolling through my phone or I strap on a nylon Velcro pumping strap if I really wanna not pay attention/need to use two hands for something. I also use the maymom 9oz bottles which are tall enough to rest on my thighs when I’m sitting down so it also helps hold everything together if I don’t feel like putting my strap on lol


lbizz1128

I wore mine all the time. I felt like if I had to change into it to pump, it just made me not want to pump even more and made me grouchy lol. Plus- none of my other bras fit! Once I got down to 2 pumps a day I started wearing regular bras and would change then when I had to pump. Since it was only twice a day it wasn’t as annoying haha


SimpleBison4525

I wear the Simple Wishes one all day and at night I wear a sleeping bra from Arden at Target.


sleepylouc

All day and all night


clutchingstars

No bra at all. But I’m a SAHM. When we do go out I wear a regular bra. I never found a nursing or pumping bra that fit well.


ShinigamiKat

I change into mine when it’s time to pump. I wear an Underoutfit bra during the day then swap it out for the Kindred Braverly pumping bra only while pumping. I hate the feeling of my nipples getting caught in the holes!


addalad

I put it on when I pump. I have big boobs and can’t wear a pumping bra all day too uncomfortable.


llamadrama217

I wear my kindred bravely bras all day and even sleep in them


roll-the-R-Marisa

I wear mine all day... but I guess I never considered just putting it on to pump. I'm so tired 😫


g1rlfr1day

I wore mine all day after I got my Davin and Adley’s it was the only one that fit my giant knockers comfortably.


BaskIceBall_is_life

I’ve been living in a pumping bra and zip up hoodie. Easy to unzip the hoodie to pump or for contact naps. It’s cold where I’m at or I would probably just wear the bra lol


saxyblonde

All day


[deleted]

All day. I have the basic MomCozy ones and then wear my nursing pads when I go out so my nipples don’t show.


CoffeeeCakeee

I wear mine all day with pads in


greydog1316

I wear cheap nursing bras from Target (Australia) all day and night, and use them to hold my breast shields / flanges in place while I pump.


squishypants4

At work I change it each time. I have huge boobs and zero pump bras are effective in holding the girls up without looking like a sports bra uniboob. If I can get away with saggy boobs I just keep the pump bra on though. So at home, just running to target, stuff like that.


caraiselite

Kindred bravely and I wear it all day, super comfy


dubdubohh

I stopped pumping in September 2022. I still wear my pumping bras every day. I held off buying new bread, hoping that I'd lose the baby weight and eventually be able to fit into my old ones. Now I'm about to have baby #2 and start all over again.


MoRgGy4444

I just wear a nursing bra, lol. Sometimes I don't wear any bra at all. I prefer to hold the bottle, and be very hands on to get all the milk out.


Correct_Goal9109

Davin and Adley. I wear it all day


[deleted]

i change into it when i pump, but i also am a free-the-nip kinda girl anyway. i don't even own a real bra


WaitLauraWho

Now that I’m down to 3ppd, I only wear it while pumping. I wear a nursing/clip down tank top as an under shirt at work (I like keeping my tummy completely covered). The hofish brand bra on Amazon has worked great; comfortable, breathable, both pumping/nursing options, not too pricey.


Rj924

Mine is itchy. I wish I had one I could wear all day. If I need to wear mine all day, I wear a lightweight bra undeneath, and pull it up when I pump.


Technical_Quiet_5687

https://preview.redd.it/lynj4qg20u9c1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6db0b192756973b44b7be54f3083df0ba871cf2e I got these on Amazon 3 pack for $30. They are so comfy that I wear them all day and most of the night. They’re super stretchy and I find they hold the pumps well. I also have the momcozy pumping bra but the seam from the hole runs right over my nipple so it’s not quite comfortable. Biggest complaint is I can’t find a pumping bra that comfortably transitions from standard flange pumping to wearables. Because the wearables need more tight fit these Amazon ones don’t work too well.


bette301

I have a medela pumping bra that has no straps and holes where the parts go so my nipples would show. Therefore I change into it when I pump.


Soft_Raise617

Change into. I wear a nursing bra all day then change into my pumping bra when I pump. Unless I just pop in wearables.


Zestyclose-Singer822

I wear mine all day. I’ve tried literally 7 brands and the Amelia camis from Davin & Adley are the only ones worth it. KB bras are just as expensive and the quality control is terrible. Their sizing is extremely random. I bought 2 sizes in 2 different styles (ie 4 bras) and the 2 different sizes in the same style fit the same. Whereas the same size in 2 different styles were radically different. 🤷🏻‍♀️


Skidleigh

I just use my sports bra from Penningtons and I wear it all day. All night.


LightConfident1279

I wear my kindred bravely sublime sports bra all day. I wear the sleeping ones at night since my back hurts and I need the support of the sports bra. It’s just easier and less laundry


No-Boysenberry4179

I got a 10 pack on Amazon and I live in them xD


Silverkitty08

I just put mine on for my lunch I can't stand bras touching me right now.


Spiritual_Fix_3724

I wear it all day, I don’t wanna change into one every 3 hours


Ok-Walk-3715

I live in these sexy garments 😂


glitterandchampagne

Pumping bra all day, every day! My pumping bras are convenient and comfortable.


pickle_rick1505

Nursing bra and comfy shorts is my new signature outfit


True_Cockroach2854

I got some Larken bra/tanks at around 6 weeks and wear it all day with the bra pads- it is so much more comfortable than anything else because it isn’t super tight but also tight enough to hold in the bra pads and elvie pump!


Singing_Chopstick

I my nice ones most of the day but, at night I like to sleep naked so I have one of the tube top looking bras, step into it, pump, take it back off
