General Size Chart - use your maternity or nursing bra as a
guideline
If this is your first baby, it is best to be fit for a nursing bra
during the last month of pregnancy. This is approximately the same size
you'll be once breastfeeding is established. Avoid being fit for a
nursing bra in the first two weeks after giving birth, which is when
most Moms are "fullest"; things level off once your body adjusts to your
baby's demand. Your nursing bra should be comfortable on the middle
hook when new.
Most women increase one band size and one cup size,
but there are no guarantees. If you have had previous children (and can
remember what size your nursing bra was!), usually you can use this as a
guide for your current pregnancy.
PLEASE NOTE:
If you are at all near the borders between sizes or between PumpEase™
Petite and PumpEase™, please proceed below to take an Overbust
Measurement to confirm the size that you require.
Overbust Measurement Size Chart
It is estimated that 70-85%
of women are wearing the wrong bra size. Therefore, if you are unsure
that the bra you are currently wearing is the correct size or if you are
in-between sizes and want to double-check which size of PumpEase™ to
buy, please take a measurement over the largest part of your bust and
refer to the chart below.
When taking this "overbust" measurement, please be standing in front of a
mirror (or have a helper) so that you can be sure the measuring tape
remains parallel to the floor (especially in the back where it will have
a tendency to sag). Hold the tape snugly, however don't constrict your
breasts.
PumpEase™ hands-free pumping support needn't be overly tight
- it should, however, fit snugly enough so that it holds
the horns in place during the pump's "rest" cycle. Think of when you are
nursing - your baby's face is not pressed tight against your breast, is
it? The suction of the pump does the work, not the pressure of the
horns.
Bust Point Size Chart
They had several requests from you for the measurements
between the horn openings for each size of PumpEase™. This is called the "bust point to bust
point" measurement in the apparel industry and we know that it can rangegreatly from woman to woman. Just another way they make it
easier for YOU to choose the correct size for your PumpEase™!
