If this is your first baby, it is best to be fitted for a nursing bra during the last month of pregnancy. This is approximately the same size you'll be once breastfeeding is established. Avoid being fitted for a nursing bra in the first two weeks after giving birth, which is when most mums are "fullest" ~ things level off once your body adjusts to your baby's demand. Your nursing bra should be comfortable on the middle hook when new.
Most women increase one band size and one cup size, but there are no guarantees. If you have had previous children (and can remember what size your nursing bra was), usually you can use this as a guide for your current pregnancy.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are near the borders between bra sizes or between PumpEase™ sizes, please proceed take an overbust measurement to confirm the size that you require (see below). If you're purchasing for someone else, then the safest way is to buy a gift voucher from us.
Overbust Measurement Size Chart
It is estimated that 70-85% of women are wearing the wrong bra size. Therefore, if you are unsure that the bra you are currently wearing is the correct size, or if you are in-between sizes and want to double-check which size of PumpEase™ to buy, please take a measurement over the largest part of your bust and refer to the chart below.
| Overbust measurement | PumpEase version |
|---|---|
| 33-37" | S |
| 38-43" | M |
| 44-49" | L |
| 50-56" | XL |
How to take an overbust measurement:
Stand in front of a mirror (or have a helper) so that you can be sure the measuring tape remains parallel to the floor (especially in the back where it will have a tendency to sag). Hold the tape snugly, however don't constrict your breasts.
PumpEase™ hands-free pumping support needn't be overly tight - it should, however, fit snugly enough so that it holds the breastshields in place during the pump's "rest" cycle. Think of when you are nursing - your baby's face is not pressed tight against your breast, is it? The suction of the pump does the work, not the pressure of the breastshields.
Bust Point Size Chart
The measurements between the horn openings for each size of PumpEase™ are as follows:
| Bust Point Size Chart (space between breastshield openings) |
|
|---|---|
| Size | Spacing |
| S | 3.25" - 8.25" |
| M | 4" - 9" |
| L | 5.25" - 10.25" |
| XL | 6.5" - 11.5" |
This is called the "bust point to bust point" measurement in the apparel industry, and we know that it can range greatly from woman to woman. Just another way we make it easier for YOU to choose the correct size for your PumpEase™
