PumpEase™ hands-free pumping supports are adorable hands-free pumping supports that every nursing mom will go gaga over!

As any breastfeeding mom knows, pumping can be incredibly time consuming.

PumpEase™ are functional, super fashionable supports that can fit over your nursing bra/garment or over nothing at all.  They ensure proper alignment which results in excellent suction, are comfortable to wear, easy-to-use, and are designed with a 3-position hook and eye closure that adjusts to your varying breast size.

PumpEase™ works with all single or double, battery-powered or electric breast pumps - no attachments required!

Checkout the Fabulous 50's Collection.  It is really retro and cool. I was sent the T-Bird Red to preview.

 

PRESS RELEASE:

EXPRESS YOURSELF IN STYLE™

What is a hands-free pumping support?

A PumpEase™ hands-free pumping support not only stylishly supports Mom’s
breast pump so that she can have her hands free to do other things while
pumping, but it also supports her decision to breastfeed and express her breast
milk.

The hands-free pumping support was inspired by a very basic need: to keep
Moms’ hands free while she pumps so she can carry out other tasks such as
checking email, taking phone calls, banking online, catching-up on reading or
tending to her baby. Or perhaps, like many moms, she suffers from Carpal
Tunnel Syndrome and holding the horns on her breasts is painful. The style was
added via the lighthearted prints – why are the other pumping apparatus on the
market so plain and clinical-looking (read frumpy)? PumpEase™ hands-free
pumping supports are made from an 88% high-count polyester/12% spandex
micro fiber tricot knit, which delivers comfort, high-performance, ease of care,
breathability, excellent stretch & memory and quick-dry & wicking qualities.
Wendy’s 13 years in the apparel industry came in handy when designing the
patent pending “no-stitch” horn openings that easily accommodate any breast
pump and will never lose their shape.

PumpEase™ hands-free pumping supports recently debuted across North
America. Together with the Classic Collection of in-stock prints, there will be
a new collection unveiled annually featuring three fabulous themed prints!
PumpEase™ and PumpEase™ Petite are designed to fit maternity/nursing bra
sizes from 32AA to 48H.

How was PumpEase™ hands-free pumping supports born?

When Wendy and her husband Mike started their family, they decided that
breast milk was the best choice for their babies. They made the choice to
pump primarily so that Mike could feed the babies and therefore bond with
them as Wendy was. When Wendy started to pump on a daily basis, she was
frustrated by how boring it was! After painstakingly searching the internet,
only to find ugly, expensive and fiddly pumping apparatus, she mocked-up a
pumping support on her sewing machine. After more than 400 pumping
sessions, she knew what a pumping support should offer a nursing mom. More
than 3 years of research and development later, she refined the design to be
not only functional and user-friendly, but pretty darn funky too! And now it’s
available to breastfeeding and pumping moms everywhere!

Who is Snugabell™ Mom and Baby Gear Ltd?

Snugabell™ is a Canadian company founded in 2008 by Wendy Armbruster Bell, a nursing, pumping and work-at-home-mom (WAHM). Snugabell™ is a parenting products company that is, among other things, working hard, through education and lighthearted humour, to bring breastfeeding back into the mainstream as it once was at the beginning of the 20th century.

Frances Jones, Coordinator of Canada’s only milk bank at BC Women’s Hospital
explains: “During the first half of the twentieth century a number of cultural
changes resulted in the replacement of human milk by artificial feeding as the
normal method of infant feeding. These cultural changes included
medicalization of birth, changing physician and women's roles, increasing
influence of science and increasing advertising of "formula." By the 1950's, most
hospitals and health professionals in the developed world promoted artificial
feeding as the feeding method of choice.

The marketing of artificial feeding products, begun in the late 1800's, has
continued until the present day with the consistent message of physician
endorsement, scientific development and good nutrition. This is the most
successful marketing campaign ever undertaken resulting in the complete
cultural acceptance and the perception by both the general public and many
health professionals of a safe optimum product equal to or better than human
milk.”

How curious it is, with all the research and public education around the
benefits of breastfeeding, that the most natural and positive act of a mother
feeding her baby, is nevertheless still not the norm in North America
