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 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 $$.

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.
