Rumina’s Strapless Nursing Bra with Built-in Hands-Free Pumping Bra

The idea of this bra is great, but the functionality is awful. I purchased this because I switched from the Medela pump to the Spectra, and trying to get the attached flange portion of the Slectra vs the detachable portions of the medela, through the holes in my medela bras was difficult. This bra seemed like a great alternative, but I Was wrong. First off, This bra is extremely hard to get on by yourself as there are way too many clasps in the back, much more than is even needed. Once on it was so uncomfortable and where the clasps were the stitching must be bad because it kept scratching my back. I thought placing my breast pump bottles would be easy, but it wasn’t. Once you’re through the three layers and place it on your nipple and then replacing all three layers the flange tends to move and needs to be adjusted to the correct spot on your nipple. This was also surprising to me how hard it was to hold all three layers back just to move the flange a tiny bit and get it in the correct position. I definitely would not recommend this bra. I have used others and will continue to use those as they are definitely easier than this to use. I also think the sizing is off. I ordered according to their size chart and I do believe they run small. It came with an extender, but the fact that it’s already hard to get on alone, adding an extender to the equation just seems like an even bigger pain.

I needed a tube top type bra like this with overlapping holes for the pump flanges to fit through. This part worked fine. It is just the back with all the hook/eye (like on a bra) was a functional nightmare. I understood at the time that this is what I was buying, all the hook/eyes would go like a bra. But all the snapping and twisting it around only to have it come undone or be uncomfortable was not for me. It was itchy and the hook and eye came loose all the time and I eventually took it to a seamstress and had the hook/eyes replaced with a zipper which is much better. Other than the fact that I had to make practical adjustments to this item, I am otherwise satisfied. it did fit as expected and the flange holes are perfect. I think Rumina needs to reconsider the hook/eye and use zipper.

This gets the job done, but it's kind of difficult to put on alone. There are so many clasps in the back, it's like a mini corset for your boobs. I'm glad it came with the bra extender but it still feels pretty snug. I just don't see how a true 3x would wear this. But I also think that there is a big difference between 1X and 3X so I'm not a fan of them putting them all as one size.It is also kind of itchy in the back where the clasps are. I think with the bra extender, it should have given more than three options, and have some overlap so it's more comfortable. The fabric on the front is soft, just in the clasp part is where I'm having issues. Overall, it works, but could be better.

Bought this hoping it would fit after searching for days for an affordable larger size pumping bra. Im a 46DDD and this did not fit. Even with the extender it came with. If this would have fit Im sure I would have loved it. Its made out of good material and did not feel cheap or like it would wear out easily.I ended up using cheap sports bras and cutting little holes for the flanges. This did the job.

I always appreciate a company that provides clothing for bigger people. The bra fit thanks to the extender; however, it fails to support the weight of my HUGE DENSE breasts. I’m not sure how this detail is often missed by retailers/ or makers/designers. If it’s 1x, 2x, 3x, the bra must be able to support the weight of such heavy breasts. The bra is also made of a good quality material. It deserves a couple stars for quality and effort to support bigger breasts. Improvement for better weight support or straps would be nice.

WAY too small! I normally wear a 34B so I thought for sure a medium would fit. Um, no! Guess I should have taken the time to read reviews. It comes with an extender and I could barely get it around my waist, much less my bust, on the last notch. Not a fan of the 5 hook and eye hooks on the back. I would prefer a zipper like my Medela bras. It does seem to be good quality material and stitching. Just wish it fit more comfortably.

Not very comfortable and it rolls down, meaning you are constantly pulling it up. However comfortable for pumping

This bra is great for hands free pumping, but a bit cumbersome for nursing. The folds in the cups hold the pump parts comfortably and solidly to your breasts. But they are a lot to work through with a squirming hungry baby. At least compared to other styles of nursing bras where you just unsnap and pull down th cup. However, it’s cheaper than a lot of other pumping bras and—as I said—comfortable for that purpose. Fits as expected.
