Easy Expressions pumping bra giveaway

**CLOSED**
**WINNER: random.org #11, congrats Katy! Winner has been emailed and has 48 hours to respond before a new winner is chosen. Thanks to all who entered and thanks again to Brilliant Baby Products!**

Brilliant Baby Products was created by mommy Kathleen Tomes because she wanted a place to share some awesome mama-must-have-products! I was sent the Easy Expressions hands-free pumping bustier – definitely an awesome new-mama product. I exclusively breastfeed and while I’m at work, I have to pump. I sometimes pump at night too, to build up the milk supply. Pumping is boring. I try to have my iphone on hand so I can check email or twitter, but I’m always having to hold onto the pumps too and it’s annoying!

I have yet to try this out while I’m at work, but I have used it at home. Awesome things about it:

It fits over my nursing bras
It zips up the front so it’s super fast to put on or take off
Allows you to be hands free so you can: play with baby, email, blog, tweet, read… anything!
Fit my breast shields just great
It’s comfy – elastic/stretchy

Unless you wear it under your clothes all day, it’s a bit much to put on because it (obviously) has to go under your shirt. This isn’t a problem if you’re just pumping at home, but I think that’s why I haven’t tried it at work yet… you can see in the picture that the women are wearing a button down, which would make it easier to get on.

Shortly after Brilliant Baby Products sent me this bra for review, Easy Expressions was sold to Medela so they’re no longer being sold on the Brilliant Baby Products website. But they still have extras on hand for a giveaway! One reader will WIN this pumping bustier in white or black (you can check it out here: pumping bra at mom4life)
