I bought a strapless pumping bra to use at work. I pump 4 times a day at work, and I can't lose all that time each day. I am pretty good at pumping one side at a time one handed, but that limits what I can do while I'm pumping.

The problem is that I can't seem to use it without spilling milk everywhere. Milk leaks out the bottom of the flange while I'm pumping and then when I try to take it off, the milk around my breast leaks down too. I soaked the top of my tank today, which is thankfully hidden by my dress, but I smell like milk! ugh.

Any tips? I have a medela one.

I tuck a burp cloth or napkin into the bottom of my bra kind of like a bib whenever I pump or breastfeed. There's always milk leaking out, either when she breaks the latch or I take the pump off. Yet it seems even then I somehow manage to always get covered in milk! Story of a mother's life, huh?

I didn't try any other bras because I got this one cheap and they are about $30 a piece. I have a hygeia pump, so the flange and shield are one piece. I leave everything assembled and pop it in the mini fridge in my office between pumping sessions. I just cant seem to get them off without milk dripping. I'll try the burp cloth on my lap or tucked into my clothing and see if that helps. Since I only have one pumping bra, when it gets milk on it, I end up just pumping one side at a time anyway until it gets through the wash. I wish they had snaps, a zipper or elastic around the hole for the shield, so it was easier to get the shield out of the bra one at a time without leaking.
