Medela 3in1 Hands-Free Pumping & Nursing Bra | Lightweight and Ultimate Comfort When Feeding

I got this bra for work / pumping. It’s definitely supportive. The only problem is that cutouts for the pump are very loose and I still have to hold my flange in place. Otherwise it’s nice and the price is good too. It does run small.I got a large. I think I’m a 36D since pregnancy

Note: When looking at the reviews for this bra, it has reviews for both the Medela 3-in-1 Pumping and Nursing Bra (what I ordered) and the Zipper Hands-Free bustier pumping bra. I did not realize this until after I purchased the 3-in-1 bra and went back to look at reviews, wondering if others had the same issues I did with the 3-in-1. I already own a zipper pumping bra- they work great but are more inconvenient.When looking for a pumping bra, I really wanted one that doubled as a nursing bra. I ordered this based on the good reviews and affordable price. I think as a nursing bra, this is just fine. As a pumping bra, It really did not work for me.Pros:Comfort- It is a comfortable material- more comfortable than other, similarly priced, pumping only bras I found on Amazon.Thickness- I like how thick the material is. I use the Silver Nursing Cups and wear them whenever I am not pumping/nursing. In thinner bras, the cups are slightly visible. This bra is thick enough that you cannot see them.Price- compared to other combination bras, this one is a very affordable price- especially if you want to have more than one.Cons:Clips-The clip to get the pumping layer is pretty easy to use one handed to get it down. It was harder to put back up one handed. I did find that I needed two hands to get the clips off to use it as a nursing bra too.Layers- the pumping layer is very loose. This causes two issues. One- while not a huge deal, the loose layer sticks out and does not hide behind the top layer of the bra. Two- and this was a problem for me- the loose material did not hold the flanges of the pump up. The flanges would pop off and lose suction if I did not hold them (defeating the purpose of the bra in the first place). Maybe if you sewed the holes shut a bit more as they are very wide, it would help, but I think the material for the pumping layer may just not be thick or tight enough. The only way I could use the bra as a pumping bra is to also clip back on the top layer over the flanges and have it hold them up from underneath/around the sides.

I wear a size 48DD. The bra that was sent was incredibly small. So buyer beware, they run super small

I would recommend this bra to every breastfeeding mommy. It has two layers. One is the breast pump hole, the other one is the covering and supportive part for our breasts. It is much better than the 19.99 one I bought. I had to return that one cuz of the material. The only thing I would complain about it is that it does not hold my flanges in place without the help of my hands. I don’t know if I haven’t found a proper way to hold the flanges with the straps. I would still recommend this over other products because of the quality.

This bra is great! While pumping can sometimes not be the most fun, convenient or easy thing us moms do, this bra is one of those things that make it a little easier! I’ve used it with the regular pumps, the hands free collection cups and while nursing - it’s great for it all!! This bra holds the pumps and the collections cup very well - very supportive, comfortable and very functional! With the hands free collection cups, it’s wonderful- I’m able to pump while people are over and also pump while doing other things. I don’t feel like they will fall out or move within the bra.It’s a huge plus that I can also nurse with it on too. The clasps are very secure, yet easy enough to manipulate one handed- which is very important as a busy mom.I got my normal size (I’m a 36 B in a cupped bra) , medium, in the bra and feel like it fits very well and is very comfortable. I did cut the tags out- they bothered me at first, until I cut them out and since then, it’s been great! I’ve washed it several times, and it’s held up great. I do often sleep in it and it is very comfortable to sleep in.I’d buy this bra again and I will recommend to anyone!!

Not sure why it’s so expensive when it’s so uncomfortable to wear. Returning it for better pricing elsewhere

I ordered this Medela 3 in 1 bra because I hate holding onto the bottles when pumping. They hold onto flanges great with zero leakage, which I was worried about because the layer of bra for pumping purposes is rather loose feeling but definitely does a great job! The latches are easy to use although I do struggle a bit getting it down to wear you can nurse but I'm sure I will get better the more I wear it and become used to it. I will update my review if the clips holding the different layers on the strap would break because I worry about that too but they must be pretty sturdy! The only complaint I have is probably more of a personal preference issue, but I hated the flimsy pads inside the outermost layer. I took them out because there's plenty of support and coverage with the separate layers as there is! Overall I'm super happy I ordered this bra!

I have basically lived in this bra over the last ten weeks. Even if you do not have the Medela breast pump, this is a necessity if you are breast feeding. I bought two or three of them and I wish I had one for every day of the week. They are extremely comfortable and so convenient when you are breast feeding. True to size and very comfortable material. I couldn’t breast feed without them, truly.

...I need a safety pin to close the fabric on my pump.... or it falls of. I have a massive breast.

I purchased the 3 in 1 nursing bra with straps . It is exactly what I was hoping it would be. You can put hands free pumps in or just unclip and nurse your baby. It runs small - I’m 6 months pregnant, 150lbs and a B cup, I ordered a medium and it SQUEEZES me super tight. I think that might be good for the hands free pumps but wow, hard to breathe. Might order a large as well!

This is probably the worst bra I ever bought. I wish I would have read the reviews before purchase, the corners of strap attachement are hard plastic and are itchy on the skin. The fabric that is meant to hold the pump is too flimsy to hold my pumps. I purchase this thinking I would have a bra that is design to work with my Medela pump, I was so wrong. the outside fabric has more hold to it for some reason, but it makes it so it's also smaller then the inside layer, so the fabric is all bunch up under and makes it even more uncomfortable meaning I can't even wear this as a regular bra...

I love the way this bra fits, but I hate that it has two layers of material to unclasp before you’re fully exposed for nursing. I have wearable pumps, so the pumping layer is useless to me. In fact, it’s too tight to use the wearable pump with both layers done up. I usually end up rolling the one layer underneath my boob and then I look lumpy. I don’t wear this bra out of the house. I can see how it would be convenient for somebody with an electric pump, you wouldn’t have to hold it up.

You’d think that the price and the brand name would make this a great bra but no. It’s just all around not great. I actually have two in different colours and both have a sort of stiff spot in the stitching at the corner of the section with the eyelets, it’s very irritating.
