Blogiversary Celebration – Pumpin’ Pal – CLOSED

We seem to be on a breast-pumping theme here in my blogiversary this week! Today’s post is about a GREAT company called Pumpin’ Pal! If you are not familiar with Pumpin’ Pal, you can see the features that we did on them a few months ago here and here. Pumpin’ Pal is a company founded by a mom (Shannon O’Donnell) who thought “there has to be a better way!”

And come to find out – there is a better way and Shannon and her partner Jon
Gillian found it!

The problem: When pumping, most women end up with sore shoulders or a sore back because they tend to lean forward while doing it to make sure the precious liquid gold they are collecting goes into the collection bottles and down the front of their shirts!

The Solution: Well, Pumpin’ Pal has found a way around this. They have ANGLED flanges – yes, a very simple concept – but extremely novel and EXTREMELY useful! super_shieldsNow, you can pump sitting back and avoid all of the discomfort and pain typically associated with pumping. And best of all – the Pumpin Pal angled flanges work with ALL breastpumps – so you can use them no matter which type of breast pump you are using! The flanges come in three different sizes too – so there is something for every mom – no matter what size you might need – and all three sizes work with your current breastpump!

In addition to these wonderful, “life saving” flanges, Pumpin’ Pal also has the smallest, most economical hands-free pumping device on the market – and again, it can be used with any breastpump! It is a hands-free pumping strap that doesn’t need sizes to fit properly – you just put it over your head and adjust the straps – and hook up your pump – it’s that easy! Watch the video below for a demonstration of how easy and how convenient the Pumpin’ Pal hands-free strap and angled flanges are.

Well, lucky for us, Pumpin’ Pal is a part of our blogiversary celebration! And they have offered to give one lucky Mommy News & Views reader a Hands-Free Strap, a pair of Super Shields (your choice of size), and Air-Dry Accessory Bag. That is a complete set-up for any mom to pump hands-free without getting any back-pain!!
