Best Pumping Bras to Wear All Day (2024)

If you pump breast milk frequently, you know that doing it hands-free can make life so much easier! Here are the best pumping bras to wear all day long, so that you don’t need to carry around an extra accessory.

Different Types of Pumping Bras

The two main kinds of hands-free pumping bras are corset-style and integrated.

Corset-style

Corset-style pumping bras are a separate accessory that you wear around your torso, with holes positioned at the nipples to hold up your breast shields.

This type of hands-free pumping bra might make the most sense if you already have a lot of nursing bras, as you’d need to buy multiple bras so that you’d always have one to use while the others are in the wash.

Integrated pumping bra

Integrated pumping bras work similarly in how they hold up your flanges, but because these are also a nursing bra, they can be worn all day long, rather than just when you pump.

Generally there are two pieces of fabric on your chest – one that has the holes for your nipples, and one that covers your nipples when you’re not pumping or nursing.

Having an integrated nursing and pumping bra can make things simpler in that you don’t need to carry around an extra accessory. It can also make doing breast compressions easier, because your breasts aren’t “pushed in” to hold up the pumping bra.

1. Larken X

The Larken X is one of my favorite all day pumping bras because it’s so simple – it’s just two panels of fabric that sit on top of each other.

To make it a pumping bra, you pull one panel up and the other down, and then position your breast shield. Then you do the opposite on the other side.

You can get 10% off the Larken X with the code EPUMP.

The fabric is smooth, stretchy, and really high quality.

Pros of the Larken X

• The design is simple but really effective, and it’s easy to use after you get the hang of it
• It’s extremely comfortable, so much so that you can sleep in it
• It’s lightweight, and a great option for warmer temperatures
• Because there are no holes for your nipples, you don’t have to worry about your nipples being in the exact right place to fit the bra

Cons of the Larken X

• It might not be the best choice for women with large breasts
• It’s not ideal for nursing on one side and pumping on the other

2. Kindred Bravely Sublime

The Kindred Bravely Sublime is an integrated nursing and pumping bra that has two separate panels on each side. To pump, you just take the top panel down and position your flanges; to nurse, you take both panels down.

(Bonus – use code EPUMP15 at checkout for 15% off!)

It’s a good option for either double pumping and single pumping.

Pros of the Sublime

• The two panel design makes it easy to pump on one side and nurse on the other
• It’s a great option for women with larger breasts, as it comes in special “busty” sizes
• It’s easy to do breast compressions

Cons of the Sublime

• It’s a bit heavy and is a lot of fabric and layers, which may not be ideal in warmer weather, though it also comes in a T-shirt version

3. Davin & Adley Riley

The Davin & Adley Riley is evidence that pumping bras can actually be really cute!

Pros of the Riley

• Comfortable while also being functional and a really cute bra
• Easy to do breast compressions with it
• You can nurse on one side and pump on the other, or pump just on one side easily

Cons of the Riley

• It’s at a higher price point than some of the other options

You can get 10% off Davin & Adley breast pads and bralettes with the code EPUMP!

4. Dairy Fairy Pippa

The Dairy Fairy Pippa has a single panel with holes that hold up your breast shields, along with a hook and latch to take the entire panel down for nursing. The holes are hidden behind a small flap until you’re ready to use them.

You can get 10% off the Dairy Fairy Pippa with the code EPUMP10.

Like the Riley, the Pippa also proves that nursing bras do not need to sacrifice style and be all about function! It’s a beautiful, lacy, and feminine bra.

Pros of the Pippa

• It’s probably the cutest nursing bra I’ve ever used – it doesn’t really look like a nursing bra, but it is one and you can pump with it
• You can single pump or nurse on one side and pump on the other
• It’s lightly padded (just the right amount of padding)

Cons of the Pippa

• It may be challenging to fit some larger breast shields through the front of the bra (but you can put the tunnel of the flange through the back instead)

5. Davin and Adley Amelia

The Davin & Adley Amelia is a cute cropped cami option that is perfect for wearing all day.

You can get 10% off Davin & Adley breast pads and bralettes with the code EPUMP!

Pros of the Amelia

• It works well for not only nursing and pumping with traditional flanges, but also for wearable pumps and milk catchers
• You can also nurse on one side and pump on the other, or single pump
• It has no wires and no clips
• Like the Dairy Fairy above, it’s really cute and has beautiful lace detail on the back

Cons of the Amelia

• If you prefer a nursing bra with some padding, this might not be the best option because there isn’t any

6. Bodily

The Bodily Do Anything is a great lightweight nursing and pumping bra.

Pros of the Bodily

• The material feels silky and comfortable; it’s also much lighter than the Sublime
• The setup makes it easy to pump on one side and nurse on the other, or single pump
• Positioning breast shields and doing breast compressions is easy

Cons of the Bodily

• There isn’t much padding, so you may need to wear breast pads with it depending on your shirt, nipples, and comfort level
