2. Key Features

3. Setup and Usage
3.1 Wearing the Bra
- Unclasp the nursing clips on both shoulder straps.
- Put on the bra as you would a standard bra.
- Adjust the shoulder straps for a comfortable and supportive fit. Ensure the band sits level around your torso.
- Fasten the back closure securely. An extender is often included for additional adjustability.
3.2 Hands-Free Pumping
- With the bra on, locate the openings on the inner layer of the cups.
- Carefully insert your breast pump flanges through these openings, ensuring your nipple is centered within the flange tunnel. The 'X' structure will help hold the flanges in place.
- Connect your pump tubing and bottles as per your breast pump manufacturer's instructions.
- Begin your pumping session. The bra is designed to allow you to move freely while pumping.
3.3 Nursing Access
- To nurse, simply unclip the nursing clasp on the shoulder strap of the side you wish to feed from.
- The cup will drop down, providing full access for breastfeeding.
- After nursing, lift the cup back into place and re-fasten the nursing clasp.
4. Sizing Guide
To ensure the best fit, please refer to the Momcozy Pumping Bra Size Chart below. Accurate measurements are crucial for comfort and effective pumping.
4.1 How to Measure
- Measurement A (Underbust Size): Measure around your rib cage directly under your breasts, snug but not tight. Keep the tape measure level all the way around.
- Measurement B (Bust Size): Measure around the fullest part of your breasts, not too tightly, and press down between them.
- Calculate Cup Size: Subtract Measurement A from Measurement B. The difference represents your letter cup size (e.g., 4.5"-5.5" = B, 5.5"-6.5" = C, 6.5"-7.5" = D).
