As a mom who both breastfeeds and pumps, I was constantly frustrated by the hassle of switching between nursing bras and pumping bras. That's why the Basics by Bravado Hands Free Pumping Bra felt like a revelation. This clip-on accessory eliminates the need for a separate pumping bra—it just snaps onto your existing nursing bra. The first time I used it, I was amazed at how seamlessly it integrated into my routine.
The quality is impressive for the price. The clips are sturdy, and the stretchy material holds my pump flanges securely in place. I use a Spectra pump, and it works perfectly—no slipping or readjusting mid-pump. The convenience is unbeatable; I can wear my favorite nursing bra all day and just clip this on when it's time to pump.
One thing to note: sizing runs tight. I initially ordered an XL/XXL (I’m a DDD cup post-pregnancy), and the band was uncomfortably snug at first. A cheap bra extender solved the issue, and after some stretching, it fits comfortably now. If you’re between sizes or have a larger ribcage, sizing up is a must.
This isn’t a standalone bra—it’s an attachment designed to work with your nursing bras. Some reviews criticized this, but for me, that’s the whole point! I didn’t want another bulky pumping bra taking up space in my drawer. This lives in my pump bag, ready to clip on when needed. It’s also easier to wash since it’s not worn all day.
The only minor drawback? If you have very large breasts, coverage might not be perfect. But for most moms (I’m a C cup), it aligns well with pump flanges. For under $20, this little gadget has been a game-changer—especially when pumping at work. No more awkward bra changes or uncomfortable all-day wear. Just clip, pump, and go!
