LaMa Bra was considerate enough to send me a personal and speedy reply to my email Pasted below: Many thanks for your response and review. And you have hit the nail on the head with our ultimate goal to deisgn a bra to fit all mothers, all stages, and all nursing/weaning/engorgement needs :) And to your specific point, we have designed a few styles to be for both engorgement comfort and for nursing...where it's a structured multi flap that open in the front and them from the inside. But the testing showed it did not provide the support, keep a shape and then also the offer the room to hold the cold paks. Women found it either it was too tight and binding (and we don't want to cause clogged ducts) or on the other side of the spectrum, too loose to support the breasts and was found to be uncomfortable. But, rest assured we are still working to develop a one bra fit all needs... So, yes, the current design of LaMa Bra is to be worn to address engorgement only and then a mother would move back to the nursing bra in between. And it's a calculated design to apply the appropriate amount of pressure to work on engorgement in the weaning stages...but to your point, more for the woman that may not be nursing every two-three hours.. Also, as the most effective use, the cold paks are applied for about 20 mins up to four times a day, so ,mothers that are nursing have used it for relief in that period of time, and then switched to their nursing bra with flap openings. We've gotten close to getting it right, but also with multiple flaps and layers, we are cautious not to cause friction or unneeded extra stimulation to the breasts. All in all, fingers crossed we will eventually get there with a style that meets all needs. But also don't want to produce a produce that sounds wonderful and meets the needs .. but then wears uncomfortable. Again, many thanks for your input and know that we agree with your comments and are trying to develop the next rounds of LaMa Bras. *********************************************** Archives: http://community.lsoft.com/archives/LACTNET.html Mail all commands to [log in to unmask] To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or [log in to unmask]) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet or ([log in to unmask]) To reach list owners: [log in to unmask]
