Massaging bra helps move more milk into breast pump
As our modern society pushes ever forward toward greater efficiency and productivity, even breast pump technology is getting the 21st century upgrade. The Lilu is a powered bra that has a built-in massager that does what women have been told to do for ages: compress your breasts to produce more milk and to prevent blocked milk ducts. The Lilu is not itself a pump, but is compatible with most commonly used brands. It can be used in conjunction with a nursing bra, or worn all on its own.
The company has a patent pending for the pneumatics of the device, which supposedly work similar to a blood pressure cuff. The device is charged via a standard USB connection, so may be convenient when using at work. It’s now available via pre-order for $249.
