Practice pouring water from Freemie Cups into a
storage bottle or bag before trying with pumped
milk to help ensure successful transfers.
Bra fit is critical for proper use.
Before choosing a bra, pump with the Freemie using your hands to hold
the Cups in place.
To achieve the same pressure and sensation with the Freemie Cups in
your bra, it may be necessary to adjust your bra or try different bras to
find the best fit for you. A sports bra or stretchy nursing bra works well for
some women.
Freemie Cups can be used discreetly with proper wardrobe planning.
Loose clothing with easy access and scarves will be most discreet. Before
first use in public, put water in the Cups and practice placement and
removal of the Cups in your bra. This exercise will help in determining
wardrobe requirements.

bra with tubing facing upright
