    Wearable breast pumps fit into your nursing bra to give you genuine hands-free freedom that works with the pace of your day, not against it.  

    Lightweight and low-profile, they help parents pump comfortably at work, on the move, or whenever you need a moment to express. 

    A choice of horn sizes and soft, natural suction patterns support a comfy seal and smooth milk flow. 

    With flexible modes and adjustable suction levels, you can tune each session to suit your body and your routine. 


    If you’ve always assumed pumping would be awkward or time-consuming, it’s worth a rethink. Slip a wearable into your bra and you can express whenever and wherever you need to, without rearranging your whole day. 

    If you’re wondering whether a hands-free pump will make life easier, here’s a quick guide. 

    • Wearable pumps can be especially helpful for parents who:
    • Want to be truly hands-free while expressing
    • Are heading back to work or managing unpredictable schedules
    • Prefer to pump discreetly in public or shared spaces
    • Want to collect milk from one side while feeding on the other
    • Like having multiple modes and suction levels to choose from
    • Need a pump that keeps up with busy days and long stretches away from home

      Why choose a hands-free wearable pump? 

      Freedom to move 

      A wearable pump sits comfortably in your bra, working quietly in the background while you get on with your day. Pump on the commute, between meetings, or while tackling the washing, all without cords, tubing or power points slowing you down. 

      The Tommee Tippee wearable also comes with a protective hard-shell case, making it easy to store and travel with. 

      Discreet by design 

      Wearable pumps are anatomically designed to sit smoothly under clothing, and the quiet motor is discreet.  

      At night, the Tommee Tippee wearable pump is engineered to keep disturbances low (50.3–53.4 dB, about the sound of quiet conversation or gentle rain) and includes a soft-glow night light to help you set up without turning the lights on. 

      Built for comfort 

      A comfortable fit is key to efficient pumping. Our new wearable supports you with: 

      • Six interchangeable horn sizes (13, 15, 17, 19, 21mm inserts and a 24mm horn) 
      • A simple nipple-measurement guide 
      • Bra strap adjusters for spot-on support 

      Simple to clean 

      Wearable pumps are designed with fewer parts for easy care. Our newest model has five food-grade silicone pieces that can be safely sterilised, so that everything that touches your breast or breast milk stays clean with minimal effort. 

      Pump your way 

      Express from one side while breastfeeding on the other or use two in-bra pumps at once to save time. The built-in LED display lets you keep an eye on your mode, suction level and session length at a glance. 

      Settings that adapt to you 

      Our latest wearable pump uses two-stage suction that closely mirrors the rhythm of a feeding baby. Four specialised modes shift the pace and pattern to encourage let-down, build flow and support efficient expression, alongside up to nine suction levels. 

      Switching modes and levels helps you stay comfortable, maintain flow and express effectively. 

      Power that keeps up 

      A full charge gives you up to ten 20-minute sessions. USB charging keeps things flexible, and a clear low-battery alert means you’ll never be caught mid-session without warning. 

      Can I use a wearable pump while feeding my baby?

      Yes. Many parents pop a wearable pump into one side of their nursing bra while breastfeeding on the other.  

      Can I pump on the go?

      Definitely. Wearables are designed for movement , whether you’re on a walk, commuting, or getting things done at home. Choose a spot where you feel comfortable and calm, as that’s what supports let-down.
