The Dairy Fairy Rose Handsfree Pumping & Nursing Bra, Nurse, Pump or Both, Wireless, Fits All Pumps

It's okay, yes, just OK. I don't typically leave reviews that often, but $30 for a bra that is mediocre, at best, is worth the five minutes of my time (and if you're reading this, you know how precious five minutes of time is to come by with an infant who is feeding every two hours, on top of all of the other things we're expected to do as mothers and women) to save some of you ladies the cash, and headache of dealing with this bra.Pro's- hands free pumping- extra hooks in the back (3 hooks to three hook connection, but more variety of desired band size)- cool company name (that's what sold me, yes, shallow I know, but welcome to capitalism)Con's-the band is a super tight elastic (not because it's too small, because it's wide and it's also not so stretchy), which can cause a decrease in supply due to constriction.- the holes do not stay shut with regular use because of my pump going in and out of the holes.- you can see the lines from the bra under basically any shirt you're wearing, unless it's thick, like a sweatshirt, so it makes you look like you have two nipples poking through your shirt.- the straps don't go where typical bra's go.. they're more centered (i.e. right above your nipples, as opposed to closer to your shoulder).- even WITH the centered straps... they still manage to fall down my shoulders.

I have a preemie and have been exclusively pumping since she was born a month ago. Let's just say that I spend a ton of time bonding with my pump!My pump came with the Simple Wishes pumping bra/bustier that I was excited to use, once I realized how much time I was going to spend doing this. I tried it a few times, and really hated it. First, it's like some sort of straight jacket, and is extremely hard for me to get adjusted so I'm not yanking and pulling and trying to get comfortable. The heavy seams compressed small areas and I ended up with clogged ducts and the feeling that my boobs were bruised. Super great when you're spending hours in a hospital lactation room recovering from an emergency c section with a sick baby! Then, add in the fact that the heavy material and bandeau/uniboob design make it impossible to do any massage. And can we say ugly? Wearing anything short of a high crew neck had people checking out the awesome zipper and creepy flesh tone.I gave up on it pretty quickly, and just started holding the flanges for my marathon pumpathons, assuming that all pumping gear was either prohibitively expensive, similarly uncomfortable, or not functional. It wasn't until this week, when I started having terrible carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms from holding the baby and the stupid flanges that I decided to spend some of that sleep-deprived brain power looking for something better. This bra looked more in line with something I thought I'd wear, but I didn't have high expectations.I was concerned, first about sizing. I'm a 36 DDD or E right now, so I ordered the large. The straps are adjustable and the band had 6? rows of eyes, so you can pretty easily adjust that, I'd think, to fit the range of sizes in the sizing chart. The cups are made of pretty stretchy material and cover me pretty completely. Given the lighter weight material and stretchiness, I was surprised how well the bra held the flanges, but it does and not so tightly that you're left with flange rings on your boobs afterwards. If the bra were tighter or you use larger flanges (I use the medela 24 mm flanges), I could see it being a challenge to wrestle the flanges in and cause some of the tearing issues other reviewers mention. The fabric is flexible and lightweight enough that I am able to massage and there are no issues with the bra cutting into me or compressing breast tissue. It's pretty smooth, even with nursing pads in, amd doesn't give you weird lines when dressed. Overall, it's pretty comfy and I can wear normal shirts, scoop necks, and vnecks without exposing something ugly and industrial.My major complaints are the synthetic material and the fact that it's just a shelf bra. The material is smooth and seems to wash well, but it doesn't breathe as well as as cotton or a blend. It gets a bit clammy and persistently damp, if you're a sweater, like I am. The shelf bra probably allows for that block sizing, but you end up with a bit of the uniboob look without anything to divide the girls. It also isn't hugely supportive for larger breasts, though it's adequate for general activity. Bending over can be a bit exciting, and light jogging is out!For me, it's a huge win and I ordered two more. It's 5AM and I was so happy to be able to be hands free during my pumping session that I decided tk write a review.

I have had this bra for 7 months now and wear it most days to work to make pumping faster. For reference, I'm usually a 32D and I ordered a medium, which fits well although as I keep losing weight (5'7", 140 lbs) and the elastic starts to wear out, I wish it had one smaller band size.A few things I like:1) It's not hideous. That counts for something when nursing.2) It works - I can put my flanges in and continue hands-free.3) No underwire, which was especially nice in the early days.4) Seems to grow with me—I don't get gaping or spillage.A few down-sides:1) It doesn't hold the flanges in as tightly (especially over time) as my zip-up strapless pumping bra. (I have the Simple Wishes Handsfree Pumping Bra and it's GREAT.)2) It doesn't do much for my boobs. It's very thin (no padding, which is to be expected). I'm not sure if it's my nursing boobs or the bra but they're fine, just definitely not as shapely as when I'm wearing a more structured bra with padding.3) The bottom band does curl some. It doesn't bother me but it would be nice if it laid flat.READ CAREFULLY: It does not have easy access for nursing. If you go back and forth (as I do periodically), I just pull the material up or down but make sure you read the description fully to know if this is what you want.In short, I would probably buy this again but might shop around for something with a bit more structure next time, especially considering I use it many times, most days. Probably not ideal for larger breasted women.

One of the more attractive pumping bras out there, but not the most useful. It doesn't seem to keep the pump flanges in place all the time, so I've had a couple leaks. In that regard, it's not as bad as the Bravado pumping bra I also tried, but not as good as the Rumina racerback pumping bra. Ironically, the construction of the openings makes it harder for the pump flanges to go in and out, so one would assume that they would hold the flanges more securely, but no. The issue there is the relatively inelastic fabric, which makes me wonder how long you can keep putting the pump flanges in and out before the openings fail.I like having more variety in my "wardrobe," especially if I'll have to use it to pump 8-12 times a day for who knows how long, but if that isn't a concern and you just want a pumping bra that works well, then there are better ones out there.
