Really like this product, it takes a bit to get on, but once on, it is nice to have your hands free to read, use the computer and as a working mom, to eat my lunch. I am glad I purchased this.

Not pretty, but works well. I've used it with Medela and Ameda breastpumps. Because Ameda's 'horns' do not detach from the rest of the system, it's a bit of work inserting them into the holes of the band, whereas with Medela, I can just stick the breastshields from the inside first, then attach the rest of the flanges... both possible, just easier with Medela.

Initially, it took me longer to put this contraption on, and I felt like I was pumping less milk. It took a while but I figured out... I had the band on too tightly, and that restricted milk glands. Now I set it loosely - and stays on fine while pumping. Actually pumps more than not using it.

I wouldn't say adjustment was easy because it took me a while to get it just right. But I don't see how much better it can get. This has a velcro opening in the back as well as front, so you can set the spacing between the nipples using the front velcro, then set the total length using the back velcro. Once it's set, unless you start loosing weight and get skinnier, and/or your breasts reduce in size (they both happened to me over the course of 7 months of breastfeeding!) you would most likely leave the back velcro alone.

This band can be worn over a nursing bra, but I do not like wearing nursing bras to work... and I don't have to with this band because I can just switch regular bra with this band while I'm pumping.

I loved this band. I exclusively pumped and it allowed me to read, wash dishes, check my email etc....I ended up cutting off the top loop (around the neck). I am small chested and didn't need the extra support. I also put large safety pins in the back once I found the proper fit because that is kinda a pain to undo everytime you want to use it, then I only had to open it from the front. I'm not sure why they don't sell this with the pumps?? Wish I would have invented it!

This pumping band is amazing! I am writing this review while I'm pumping because of this great product. I absolutely would recommend it to any mom who pumps. It allows you to multi-task.

I can't say enough good things about this product. It's not pretty, but who cares - I wasn't pumping in front of an audience!

And because it's made with velcro, it truly is - one size fits all!

Before I discovered the pumping band, I felt like a trapped cow. I couldn't move my hands without interrupting progress - I could only sit there.

But lo and behold, I found this great product, and it was a whole new world for me! I was able to type, talk on the phone, use the remote, read a book. FREEDOM! I've sinced purchased one for a friend, and I'm about to purchase one for another friend.

When traveling, I once thought I'd left my pumping band behind, and literally panicked!! Fortunately, I found it, but that shows you how dependant I had become. Never leave home without this one, ladies! Highly recommended!!

This product is not the best looking thing, but it really works. It works so well because it is adjustable. When you first get it, you have to set it up to fit you. I am smaller and it fits very well, and has so much room to expand if needed. It is comfortable. I am able to put it over most of my nursing bras (opened), and don't have to take my shirt off, just hike it up. I have a medela pump. It holds the parts very firmly in place, I can move all over. You have to put the breastshield in first under the band, then attach the valve. I've never had any spills or leaks, unlike when I pumped without it. They should include one of these in every breast pump kit!

This band has been great in allowing me to pump while working. It allows me to pump hands free. I highly recommend this for women who pump and want to type, read, etc while pumping. It is comfortable. I am a small person at it is adjustable and fits great. It washes well on delicate cycle and hang to dry.

Comments about Made by Moms Pumping Band:

I had a premature baby and therefore pumped exclusively. I pumped for about two months before I had this product. I wish I had had it earlier. This product made so much difference. Instead of sitting with my hands tied up holding the bottles, I could instead talk on the phone, use the computer, even something as simple as change the channel on the TV without having to stop pumping. This product was fantastic! I don't understand why people say it doesn't fit properly.... The size can be adjusted in the back and the front, so it should be able to fit just about everyone. I am on the smaller side and I had no problem getting this to fit properly. I used it with Medela pump parts and it worked well. I used this product 6 times a day for 4 months and feel the quality was just fine. It machine washes well and dries quickly (drip dry). I have no complaints and would recommend this product to everyone!

Comments about Made by Moms Pumping Band:

Great idea but poor construction. The velcro is hard to do & its tough to fit properly. I use a medela pump & the shields didnt fit properly through the holes & I couldnt get it tight enough to be able to pump both sides. It was a waste of money. I never even used the "halter" part since it was rough & stiff like the band. I ended up having to hold the pumps while wearing this. Dont let the picture fool you. Not worth the money.

Comments about Made by Moms Pumping Band:

This was the BEST purchase I've made!! I absoulety hated pumping, because I got so tired of sitting there holding the bottles as they where being pumped into. When I came across this product, I thought Wow great idea. A scammed across it a few times, because of price. I would then sit and dream about having it. So I finally broke down and bought it. WELL WORTH THE MONEY!! I pump out alot more at one time, cause I can do more than just sit there. It's really a must have, and easy to use, it travels with me in my pump bag. It comes with a neck strap, but as long as you got the cups placed well over the nipples and the front strap good, the neck strap is not necessary to use.

Comments about Made by Moms Pumping Band:

I loved this idea, I was so excited to pump and be able to do something else, I just couldn't get it to work right. I have VERY large breasts while breastfeeding (size 32G) and if I got it to stay on, then my breasts were squished and if it was loose enough to not squish my breasts, then the pump would not stay on and milk leaked everywhere. Maybe it was user error, but I was just not satisfied.

Comments about Made by Moms Pumping Band:

I had no idea anything like this was available until my sister-in-law told me about this. I pumped without this for about 5 weeks and was bored to tears. Once I had this I could read a book, eat, grade papers, sort a stack of mail, you name it! I pumped at work when I went back, and the only break I had during the day was my lunch. This allowed me to pump and handle my lunch at the same time. It's a little cumbersome at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's great. I should also mention that sometimes I used it without the halter-type strap, and I know my SIL never used that strap.
