If you had told me ten years ago - back when my biggest morning crisis was a bad whole-milk latte (how naive we were about dairy!) - that I’d one day be sitting in my midtown office, discreetly expressing milk in a hands-free bra while editing a cover story, I would have laughed. Politely. Possibly, poured myself another Negroni.
But here we are. Thirty-five, two children deep, one subway stop from losing my mind, and learning that the secret to surviving postpartum while maintaining a career in New York is … engineering. Or rather, two very well-engineered pieces: Momcozy’s Jelly Strip Support Nursing Bra and the Mobile Flow™ Hands-Free Breast Pump.
I call them my “Boardroom Boob Squad.”

1. The Nursing and Pumping Bra That Holds It All Together (Literally)
Let’s begin with the Jelly Strip Support Nursing Bra - a name so deceptively sweet it could be mistaken for a cocktail garnish. But the real genius is in the design. The “jelly strip technology” is basically a magic grip for your bust - the kind of discreet, flexible support that stops shifting, slipping, or the dreaded one-cup-higher-than-the-other scenario.
It’s supportive without strangling me, which is more than I can say for some people I know.
The scalloped-edge underband is a small, beautiful detail - feminine without being fussy - and the semi-fixed pads mean I’m no longer wrestling with rogue foam inserts in the office bathroom. The fabric? Buttery-soft, breathable, seamless. The kind of softness you wish your postpartum reality actually was.
What I love most, though, is that it works at every stage - pregnancy, breastfeeding, pumping. In my first pregnancy, I bought a parade of bras, each one useful for roughly five minutes before my body shifted again. This time, I invested in one that adapts to me, instead of the other way around.
And yes, it doubles as a hands-free pumping bra, which means I can type, answer Slack messages, and pretend to listen in on a meeting while my breasts quietly get to work. Is this does not make for the best breastfeeding bra - than I do not know what does!
Launched in June 2024, it’s the No.1 choice for working moms and a top-seller on Amazon — but I didn’t buy it because it’s popular. I bought it because I needed a great output pump that could keep up with me, my deadlines, and my increasingly unpredictable coffee intake.
First: it’s quiet. Whisper-quiet. At 42dB, it’s quieter than the library I never get to anymore. With its effortless extraction and no backflow, I’ve pumped during conference calls without anyone knowing (speaking of privacy control), except for the time my toddler barged in on Zoom yelling about a missing dinosaur — but that’s not the pump’s fault).
Second: it’s fast. The 12-minute quick charge is the ultimate gift for women who already live in a state of low-level lateness. Forget to charge it overnight? No problem - I can plug it in while getting ready, and it’s powered for a full session before I’ve even found my other shoe.
And the DoubleFit™ flange? My breasts have never been so well-treated. It molds to my shape, increasing milk flow by 28.2% (yes, they measured) and making each session more comfortable. As someone who used to view pumping as a necessary discomfort - like wearing shapewear to a wedding - I now find myself… actually enjoying it. And did I mention the chic storage?
3. A Smarter Kind of Pumping
Here’s the thing: this pump is smart. App-smart. The Momcozy app lets me monitor sessions in real-time, adjust rhythms, and track my output without having to keep a mental log (which, after baby number two, is like asking me to remember the plot of a movie I saw pre-COVID).
There are even expert-developed rhythms: Milk Boost™ for increasing supply, Milk Relief™ for easing fullness. It’s like having a lactation consultant on speed dial, but without the awkward home visits where you both pretend not to notice you’re half-naked.
And because it’s truly hands-free and wireless, I can pump anywhere — at my desk, in a Uber (yes, I’ve done it), even while eating an overpriced salad in Bryant Park. My mobility has returned, along with a certain smug satisfaction at outsmarting my own biology.
Returning to work after my second baby, I braced myself for the chaos. The missed meetings. The frantic pumping in bathroom stalls. The constant low-level anxiety of knowing I wasn’t fully present anywhere - not at work, not at home.
But here’s where this Momcozy Pro Breastfeeding Kit has been a revelation: it doesn’t just make pumping possible, it makes it predictable. It’s no longer a question of if I can fit in a session, but simply when. And because it’s discreet, efficient, and comfortable, I’m not left with sore ribs or milk spills as parting gifts.
I’m not saying technology has solved motherhood. But it’s certainly helping me keep my job, my supply, and my sanity intact.

5. The Hidden Luxury in Good Design
Good design isn’t just about aesthetics - it’s about the quiet luxury of things working the way they’re supposed to.
The Jelly Strip bra is seamless, breathable, with gorgeous structure that makes me feel supported and comfortable all day, no matter the task at hand. The Mobile Flow™ pump is compact, powerful, and discreet enough to fit in my work bag alongside my laptop and an emergency stash of cheddar bunnies.
This combination has given me something far rarer than a free afternoon or a full night’s sleep: it’s given me back agency. The ability to decide when, where, and how I feed my child - without having to sacrifice professional competence or personal comfort.
There’s something almost ironic about my chicest, most indispensable accessories right now being pieces of baby gear. That is motherhood for you. Not my new Celine bag, not my Frederic Malle perfume - but the Momcozy bra and a breast pump duo.
Without exaggeration these two objects by Momcozy have become the foundation of my daily life, the invisible architecture that holds everything together. And in a city where survival depends on efficiency, that feels like the ultimate luxury.

6. A Final Pearl of Wisdom From a Tired (but Well-Supported) Editor
If the first baby teaches you patience, the second teaches you pragmatism. I no longer have the time or energy for products that almost work, or look nice but hurt after twenty minutes. As a new mother, do you?
The Pro Breastfeeding Kit is not just for working moms - it’s for any mom who wants comfort, efficiency, and the quiet confidence that she’s got her pumping life under control. It’s for the women who pump while they work, commute, eat, email, or stare longingly at people in cafes sipping wine at 3 p.m.
So here I am, second latte in hand, pump quietly doing its job while I finish this editorial piece. Outside my window, the city hums along, oblivious to the fact that under my blazer and behind my laptop, there’s an entire milk economy running on a pair of brilliant Momcozy breastfeeding gear. And honestly? That’s exactly how I like it. Productive, private, reliable - perfectly chic.
