Drawing from her own personal experience as a pumping mom, PumpEase™ and Snugabell creator/owner Wendy Bell has developed a product and company that offers quality support to pumping moms and now has a new line of maternity/nursing wear, the Toni Top line. Along with a beautiful giveaway opportunity for Leakies, Wendy answers a few questions, sharing her passion, mothering wisdom, and how she overcame a breastfeeding challenge in her own journey. I’m so grateful for the support of PumpEase™ for TLB and all Leakies and hope you enjoy the interview and giveaway.
TLB: What’s your favorite part about working with pumping/breastfeeding moms?
Wendy: By far the best thing is hearing from a mom that tells us that without our products she would have given up on breastfeeding.
TLB: What’s in the future for Snugabell/PumpEase?
Wendy: We will continue to develop and improve the Toni Top line and further penetrate the market for PumpEase. We have other projects up our sleeves however they are in their infancy stages so mums the word! 😉
TLB: How has being a mothered impacted your career?
Wendy: It changed the direction of my career entirely. If I hadn’t had a baby (and there was a time that I thought it might not be in the cards for me), then Snugabell would definitely not exist.
TLB: When you were a pumping mom, where would you set up your pumping station?
Wendy: At my computer. Always. 🙂

i love my hands free bra, with it I can pump 3x a day at work, wish I would have had one for my first, I could only pump during my lunch and struggled to keep up plus I didn’t get to really eat lunch, I usually shoved a sandwich in 10 minutes 🙁 but now I can do it all and not get any more behind at work

Tuxedo. Cause its classic. 🙂
We just got a milk bank in our province, and I’m on my way to being able to donate. This would make pumping for them so much easier!!

These look great, I’m not sure if I’m eligible to enter being in the uk, but expressing at least 4 times a day one of this would be an absolute godsend.

This would be awesome to win- If I have to pump full time for another preemie, it would be so helpful. I think I would go with the stoney river print. They are all cute, though.
Very cherry!
This would make a great baby shower gift!
the very cheery — need to brighten the mood while pumping!
These are so much more aesthetically pleasing than other pumping bras of this sort!
Hey Hey! I’m thinking a little tuxedo action! X-D
T-Bird Red is awesome!
Color wouldn’t matter to me as long as it fit!
The T bird or the cherry are nice. 🙂 I really could have used this a few months ago. Pumping is slim to none now for what comes out but I’m planning to have another so I’ll need one then!

Any color would be awesome. They are all great.
I love all the colors, but if I had to pick one it would be T-Bird Red
I love the tuxedo!!!
I own one in pink, but would love a second to share with expectant momma colleagues. The day I forgot my PumpEase was the worst day back at work so far. It usually takes me 15 minutes from locking the door to unlocking, but without my trusty PumpEase it took nearly 30.
I would love the organic!! Also, I NEED something at work when I am pumping so noone will try and walk in!!! EEEKK
I would be appreciative of any of these!
Stoney River is gorgeous and definitely my first choice!
Very Cherry for sure!
I love these
Any color!!! I just want my hands to be free!
