Rumina Relaxed Nursing Bra with a Built-in Hands-Free Pumping Bra - M Off-Black

My favorite nursing/hands free pumping bra so far! I’ve had a hard time finding a comfortable fit in a nursing bra in general, let alone a nursing bra that can double as a hands free pumping bra. Many other nursing bras I’ve tried have had uncomfortable fabric, irritating or scratchy hardware around the band (or clasp-less bands that are too tight or difficult to pull on overhead, especially in those early days of sore nipples) or unwieldy drop down clips for nursing access. I absolutely love that this bra is made of soft stretchy fabric with just the right amount of weight, support and give. It’s easy to pull on overhead and I really appreciate the all-in-one functionality - comfortable and supportive enough for all day wear and without any needed accessories for pumping. My breast pump flanges have stayed nicely in place while I do my hair and makeup (although I do that less often these days!) or play with my baby. I am so thankful to have found this bra before my upcoming return to work! My only small complaint is that the fabric seems just the slightest bit bulky when pulled down/to the side for regular nursing, although I may notice it a little more than others because I often have to be more hands on with breast compressions while nursing to keep my little one engaged. All in all a great bra (and seems true to the sizing chart, too! I always find others’ measurements helpful, so I’ll include my own (even though they are not precise so interpret them with a grain of salt!) in hopes that they may help another new parent who may be too tired to properly measure (although measuring is probably still the best way to guarantee a good fit!): I was probably closest to a 34 A/B prepregnancy, now I’m up about two cups sizes and 20 lbs from my prepregnancy weight of 105 lbs; medium fits me well and seems like it would be forgiving both up and down sizes).

This is amazing for moms who have to pump a lot and still nurse. My son was in the NICU so he was primarily bottlefed breast milk I would pump, but we attempted breastfeeding as well. I enjoyed not having to change bras or add anything to my bra when pumping and it was easy to nurse in. The material is lightweight which is nice for sleeping or for casual wear. My only complaint is that the band does not provide much support as it pulls off your chest when you move. It is comfortable, though, and for the convenience of just being able to go from nursing to pumping it is definitely worth trying.

I own two of the Rumina's Relaxed Nursing Bras and I literally have worn no other bra since I received the first one in the mail. Only days after my son's birth I found myself with cracked and bleeding nipples from breastfeeding. Because providing my son with breastmilk was so important to me I started pumping so I could heal, provide him with breastmilk and keep up my supply with the hopes of breastfeeding again some day. I was pumping every 2-3 hours, even in the night, and desperately needed a hand-free pumping bra. I originally ordered a strapless, zip-up-the-front style bra from another company. It worked alright, but it was tedious to undress every time I needed to put it on, especially at night when I was sleep-deprived. I was also recovering from a c-section, and physically not feeling like myself yet. The weather was still cold and the constant dressing and undressing with supersensitive bleeding and scabbed nipples was enough to make me want to give up on breastfeeding/pumping altogether. Finally, the fabric was too thick to properly massage my breasts to help with maximum milk output. I found the Rumina relaxed fit bra on Amazon during a midnight pump and in desperation decided to give it a try. It was the answer to my prayers! It's comfortable enough to wear 24/7, which I do, which is why I have two. No more undressing to pump! The fabric is thin and comfortable and I can easily massage my breasts during pumping. I'm breastfeeding again, and can fairly easily breastfeed in this bra! I also like the double layer of fabric that covers the nipples for a number of reasons (prevents nipping out, keep me warm, extra fabric helps absorb any leaking milk). For reference I'm fairly small chested. Pre-baby I was a 34 A/B, and now 36 B/C. If I was any smaller chested I don't know if it would work...the cups might be too loose. Overall I love this bra. I imagine I'll be wearing it for many months to come, and I'm fine with that! With being a new mom comfort and convenience is paramount and this bra fits the bill! I highly recommend it!

Update: after using for 2 weeks, I am so annoyed that the size Medium will not hold in my breasts. They spill out a lot!! The shoulder straps have also started to hurt. Since I can’t return this product anymore, I won’t wear this anywhere in public. This will be most likely my last nursing bra option when it comes down to wearing it. The seams pinch my nipple when my breasts are spilling out. I still use it at night because I like to sleep on my back and with this at least the only good thing out of it is, helping my breasts not go to the sides. I really love how it makes my breasts look. Even if that’s not the point of this 2-in-1 bra. It’s not itchy or super soft. Some of the cross over points/seams from the inside of the bra bother me a little. It is comfortable at the shoulders and does contain the breasts from spilling on the sides, however I did follow the size guide and got myself a Medium— I’m a 34F and I wish I would have just got a Large. I did my first pumping session today and with the bra being a little too tight, it was hard to position the flange as smoothly and quick one would think. The material is stretchy but because I got a medium, the seams did pinch as I was adjusting the flange inside. Anyways, I normally pump an average of 4oz on each side but wearing this bra and maybe being a bit too snug only got me 2oz on each side. I really wanted to favorite this bra over the other ones I have, this should have been my favorite first pumping/nursing bra but because of the flaws I personally encountered with, it’s only going to be a good nursing bra. I can easily slip my breast out and it’s comfortable enough to sleep in. I really want to make it clear that It is only snug when I insert my pumping flanges. It’s not at all tight at the front nor the shoulders just a bit around the bust. For the price I would recommend anyone to try this bra out, I would recommend going 1 size up than what the Sizing guideline suggest. I’m going to think about ordering a 2nd one in a large.

I want to love this. I want to even just like it. But I don’t. I’ve ordered and worn the M and the L. I’m generally a 38C/D. The M is way too tight in the shoulder strap and the under band. But the tightness provides support so that my boobs aren’t everywhere. However when it comes time to pump the “engorgement” proves that tight isn’t always best. Directions for purchasing say that the bra should be loose so there’s room for engorgement. Enter the L and it’s like jumping from a S to XL. It’s too damn big and provides zero support and no coverage. The sizing is just extremely off here. Boobs are heavy. Big boobs are even heavier. Boobs filled with milk- you guessed it- heavier!!!! Why are they still making these nursing/pumping bras with zero shoulder support?? The bands aren’t even an inch wide. There’s no support. If you’re boobs are saggy as most are- these will not provide any support to make up for there being no underwire. I have plenty of sports bras that provide more support than this so I know it’s possible. As I said with the M because it’s so tight there is support but the L should provide it also. The L is so loose that it’s more consistent with a “slip” and the straps actually fall off of my shoulders- normal and engorged. How does this help me? It doesn’t. Id say there’s a good 2” (possibly more) of extra material on the shoulders themselves. It causes me to scrunch up my shoulders to prevent it from falling and that’s the worst possible position to be in when nursing or pumping and is generally uncomfortable anyway. The coverage over the breast is also lacking. So much that the nursing pads stick out- on the M there is great coverage but again it’s too tight. The white is pretty see through also so I’m not able to treat this like a sports bra and just wear this around the house when we have company. I’d say try both sizes whatever you fall in on the chart. But keep in mind you won’t get to know if this works until you see it a few times and at that point the merchandise is probably not refundable. I’d even skip this all together and find something else. The only pros I can give this- the material is comfortable and the under and width is ok. Update: I’ve since washed it and it offered no shrinkage which I hope it would. After a day or two of wearing it I feel like it gets looser and then the pump parts don’t fit properly. It’s a shame no won’t be wearing this again and I’ll donate it

I initially bought one of these because it looked comfortable. It worked well but for $28, I thought it was overpriced for what it was and looked for different kinds as my switch-off pumping bra when this one got dirty. I exclusively pump and I next tried one of the traditional band bras with 2 holes in it and couldn't stand it. It was so cumbersome and wide (armpit to lower ribs/hard to get flanges through crisscrossed fabric), I really couldn't wear it all day, especially because it showed above most of my shirts, being straight on the top. The zipper and hook closure style was also more annoying than the rumina that I just slip on like a shirt. I ended Up buying another rumina and felt obligated to leave a review. Although. It doesn't look like much, its perfect: very easy to use (no switching from regular bra to pumping bra or snapping on 4 hooks in the back) and its v shape allows me to wear it under all of my clothes without worrying about it showing. The only con is that it makes your chest look rumply if You wear a tight fitting shirt but it's so worth it. I only wear this bra right now and feel like I'll continue only wearing this bra Until I'm done pumping for this baby. Worth the $$.

UPDATED review: (original on bottom) I kept searching for a similar bra made out of cotton but could not find any so I bought this bra again to give it a try but instead of buying the black color I ended up buying beige. Not sure what the difference is but the beige one is more comfortable & does exactly what I need for pumping hands free & nursing. What makes this bra stand out is that the seams do not run across your nipples. Most pumping bras have all kinds of seams from the layers of material but not this one! The seams are placed in areas that will not come in contact with your nipples which is exactly what breastfeeding mamas need! The last thing you want is seams from your bra or any piece of clothing to be rubbing & irritating your nipples. It fits like a sports bra which is so nice for pumping at home & for the comfort factor as well. It has room for nipple pads as well if you need them. MUST BUY!! Previous review: I love that is it made out of cotton which is a good material to wear while breastfeeding. The seams on this bra were pretty thick and the material was on the stiffer side. I was hoping for a more soft material without huge thick seams that would irritate or cause indents in the skin. Functionally it works well and does exactly what is described.

As I new mom I have spent hours and hours combing the internet for affordable combination nursing&pumping bras. While there are some great nursing only options out there, it’s such a pain to have to strap on a separate pumping harness every time. And since I am living in these bras and need several I can’t fathom having to drop upwards of $50 (or more) a bra! I bought one of these and later placed two separate orders for more once I realized I couldn’t keep up with the laundry considering I never want to take them off What I love: —Affordable —Actually holds the flanges in place (should work with all pump flange styles) —Easy pull down nursing access (clips can be so annoying) —Overlapping fold design doesn’t have that uncomfortable pumping access slit seam directly over your already sore nipples —once it softened up after the first wash it feels like a cozy bralette Note: —unlined layers have a noticeable seam on the side of the breast that might bother some aesthetically —Sizing chart might be a little misleading. While nursing I’m about a 36C/34D and I bought a size medium which fits correctly. If you’re between sizes I’d size up
