i absolutely believe that when you have the tools to support your lifestyle — this makes achieving your goals literally SO much easier!!! the barrier that i see a lot of my pumping community struggle with? pumping clothing — because we are no longer only pumping at home.
- we are pumping at family functions
- even simple things like doing chores around the house, and cannot hold onto our flanges anymore!
let’s talk clothing that makes your mama moo-cow pumping and breastfeeding life so much more approachable!!! first up — pumping bras.

6 OF THE COZIEST PUMPING BRAS THAT ACTUALLY WORK TO MAKE BREASTFEEDING 1000X EASIER
DAVIN & ADLEY AMELIA – www.davinandadley.com | use code BETHANYBOU for 10% off
i resisted purchasing the Amelia crop bra for literally a while YEAR if not more into my first pumping journey! and when i tell you that once i put that bra on, i have not taken it off — i am 0% joking 🤩 i love that there are no clasps to finagle and make sure it is on right. no matter if you are nursing or pumping — the straps have a quick slide down, and slide back up to adjust!
DAVIN & ADLEY RILEY — www.davinandadley.com | use code BETHANYBOU for 10% off
if you need something a little extra, a little sexy, a little somethin’ somethin’. omggg this is all you, mama!!! the Riley bra is so easy to use while pumping, no need to change and pack something else. the lace is classy and truly comfortable. i am very sensitive when it comes to my clothes and textures, but this is easy to wear, and like it’s bestie the Amelia — holds flanges like a freaking PRO.
LARKEN X BRA — www.shoplarken.com
this is my FAV at home bra!!! again no clasps or adjustable straps — just a quick twist of two layers of fabric to hold your pumping flanges. for the big breasted mamas, this may not have the best support for you. as the fabric is so comfortable, but not as thick for more heavier chest support.
SISU MUM — www.sisumum.com | use code BETHANYBOURGOIN for 10% off
if you still need a structured bra, or don’t want to change into a pumping specific bra, this is exactly what you need. not only does this bra keep your flanges in place (like those babies ARE NOT MOVING), it has amazing support while pumping and while functioning as a normal, comfortable bra.
LOVE AND FIT — www.loveandfit.com | use code BETHANYBOURGOIN for 10% off
another bra with no clasps? umm okay 😍 one thing to note, you may have to size up with the Everyday Luxe 3.0 bra. the band around the ribs can be a little tight — i personally like a bra that is a little looser, with a little more give! color options are some of my favorites, and amazing workout options, too!!!
THE DAIRY FAIRY — www.thedairyfairy.com | (Willow Collection) Daily Nursing + Pumping Bra
this one is specific to wearable pumps, and i wish i could tell you how this bra freaking MOLDS TO MY BODY LIKE A DANG GLOVE. with or without your pumps, it is beyond comfortable — would you believe that i slept in this? in a real bra?? true story.
what other bras have you tried?! what do you look for in a pumping bra? what do i need to review next?
