Bras
From comfort, to ease of use, to looks. These are the bras I’ve spent my money on so you don’t have to
These are the more Pretty/Chic/Bougie pumping and nursing bras, less supportive but more feminine and “normal feeling” to wear
Davin & Adley
Functional and simple. As plain as it gets, can be used for both traditional flanges and wearable pumps. These are my “I’m out of bras and I need to pump asap” option
Momcozy Hands Free Adjustable Pumping Bra
Super super cute pumping bras, flange hole isn’t the best for the big fluidfit flanges but most others are perfectly fine. Straps are a little thin for ME but it’s not a huge issue. These are the only bras that actually go off of your regular bra siz...
MOMANDA Women's Hands Free Lace Pumping Bra
Medela specific ones because their flanges run small and Some pumping bras have very large flange holes that Medela flanges fall out of
Maternity & Hands Free Pumping Bra
Another great option for both types of pumps! PLUS no padding that can move around and this bra is virtually leakproof. There’s also clasps that you can undo to make it a nursing bra as well
Momcozy 4-in-1 Hands Free Pumping Bra
The most comfortable and size inclusive with regular S-XXL sizes and then BUSTY and SUPER BUSTY sizes added on!
Kindred Bravely
The PUMPS
Every pump I’ve ever tried/tested/reviewed. If I have a discount code/link it’ll be in the description or linked to the product! You can also check out my insta for the full reviews!
7.5/10 A solid wearable pump. Gentle, great suction, decent milk capacity, comes with a carrying case! The parts aren’t terrible to wash, it’s pretty standard when it comes to wearable pump parts
All-in-one M5 Wearable Breast Pump: Convenient & Discreet
THAT GWORL in the pumping game. The strongest portable pump on the market. The soft stimulation mode they added on was such an amazing idea. Immediate letdown and emptied out within 15 mins everytime.
BabyBuddha® 2.0 New & Improved Breast Pump
10000/10This is my Wall pump. This is my holy grail pump. This pump is quite literally the best I’ve ever had, fluidfit flanges, lightweight, rechargeable and you can control both sides separately.
Duette™ Dual Electric Breast Pump
8.5/10 this pump is what I call “the ole reliable” I know it’ll empty me out when I need it to and I don’t have the time to sit down. Strong, effective, can be pinchy if you don’t use pumping spray/nipple butter.
S12 Pro Wearable Breast Pump | Efficient & Quiet
9/10 The OG wearable. The bulkiest, heaviest wearable pump on the market next to the new Spectra wearable. App controlled, 6 parts to wash, gentle but strong, different sized collection cups. Pricey but extremely worth it for the quality and the cust...
Willow Go™ Wearable Breast Pump
8/10 The literal baby Buddha of the wearable pumps. She is STRONNGGGG. Super effective and holds a decent amount. Pour requires you to lift the flange to get it to come out. Little weird but satisfying once you get the hang of it.
Springhope Wireless Wearable Electric Breast Pump
10/10 solely based on my journey with my first baby. This was my workhorse pump, I put 900 hours on it between when I was 4m pp and when I weaned at one. Parts are cheap, and easy to come by. Is not the rechargeable one but just as good with a batter...
S2 Plus | Hospital Strength Breast Pump
9.2/10 I JUST tried this pump for the first time and I can tell you rn, it’s a game changer for me. It is gentle, it IS BULKY and a little heavy but it’s 100% leakproof from any angle. I bent all the way over to pick up my baby and not a drop leaked....
Willow 360 Leak-Proof Wearable Breast Pump
Booby Care 🫶🏼
Saving the nips one recommendation at a time 🫶🏼
This was my fave to use while pumping during my first journey! A little oily/greasy but provided the best slip between my skin and the flange
Organic Nipple Butter Breastfeeding Cream
A HIGHLY underrated tool! The vibration plus the heat is an absolute must when you’re trying to fully empty your breasts to prevent clogged ducts. Light pressure, a little nipple butter and get yours hands in there with the massager! You’ll be empty ...
LaVie Lactation Massager | PreventClogged ducts and Improve ...
I know you see these everywhere but PLEASE use them. When you’re leaking and staying in wet bras, reusable pads, shirts, you’re 10x more likely to develop nipple thrush and let me tell you from experience it’s incredibly painful 😣. You can also put ...
Lansinoh Stay Dry Disposable Nursing Pads
These are another underrated piece! They can be spendy but they’re so useful. A lifesaver when you have cracked and dry nippys, you put a little breastmilk from the fridge or nipple butter on it and wear them for about 30 minutes and I swear it helps...
SILVERETTE® Original Silver Nursing Cups
Clogged ducts? Take this. Want to prevent clogged ducts? Take this. This is designed to thin out your milk so fatty milk doesn’t build up creating fat deposits thus creating inflammation/infection.
Legendairy Milk Sunflower Lecithin 1200mg, Lactation Support ...
The whole Shabang! A hydration mask, heat/cool pads you can use, and a small lactation massager! I actually use this one and I love it! It’s nice and compact but the heat and vibration are still super helpful
Breast Care Self Care Kit – Frida | The fuss stops here.
Another super helpful tip: if you see bleeding or have a deep crack/laceration from either being bit while nursing or dryness/frequent pumping. Use this! It will help prevent infections!!!
Frida Mom Saline Spray for Cracked Nipples
Extra Extra!
You may not call it an essential BUT it’s nice to have 🤷🏻♀️
These cups are super versatile with all tje different pumps they can be used with! Parts are cheap, they hold a good amount and it’s relatively easy to clean!
Silicone Collection Cups
Now these are PRICEYYY compared to other cups but I’ve been using these for 6 months now and haven’t once had to change the parts yet. They last that long. Plus there’s only 3 parts to clean. These cups are the epitome of convenience. Well worth the ...
Hands-free collection cups
