Before shopping for a pumping bra, it’s important to know your flange (also called a breast shield) size. Bra band size and flange size are separate measurements. Your band size is the circumference of your torso and your flange size is determined only by the diameter of your nipple base. The flange should fit your nipple comfortably for effective pumping. Learn more about measuring your flange size in this guide. Here are key features to look for in a pumping bra.
