Before using Freemie

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 TO 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 nd the
best t 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 rst 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.
