Just showed this to my mom and she says she wishes this existed when she was nursing! This is going to be a gamechanger. Good luck! :)
@kaveri_chugh Thank you so much! There really has been such little innovation in the maternity tech space for so long! We are determined to change that.

It is very encouraging that technology is developing in this area as well. It's true. Young mothers need a lot of support and help because of the baby. There is no free time at all. And sometimes you want to do your usual things. Little attention pay to women's underwear. What it makes of, and how uncomfortable it is to walk in, is simply horrifying. It's better not to wear them at all. But there are still brands such as https://shop.join-eby.com/collec... that hold the bar high in quality and comfort. I buy panties here all the time because they are different from the rest in terms of comfort and quality materials. I've tried them once, and I can't switch to any other manufacturer's products. For me, this is the benchmark.
Thank you for hunting our product, @katmanalac
Hi Product Hunt!
We’re the makers of the Lilu Massage Bra and we’re super excited to share with you that we are live on Kickstarter!
We embarked on this journey to build technology make life easier for moms about 3 years ago. We met in a robotics class at the University of Pennsylvania where we were lab partners. Our passion for empowering women & moms prompted us to join forces to create the Lilu Massage Bra.
We spent hundreds of hours in surveying and interviewing moms to understand their problems with breast pumping. We were gutted to discover that over 60% of moms today are not able to pump enough milk to feed their babies. In trying to find a solution, we found that to battle the shortcomings of their pumps, 2/3rd of moms used breast massage while pumping. This wasn’t just anecdotal, studies at Stanford Children’s Hospital showed that using breast compression and massage while pumping can increase milk supply over time.
That is why we used research insights from soft robotics to develop the ultimate pumping bra that will provide moms with the proven benefits of breast massage hands free and hassle free.
The bra mimics the breast massage motions recommended by lactation experts to stimulate milk flow. It’s easy to wear, comfortable, adjustable and compatible with the standard breast pumps in the market.
We have tested the bra with over 130 moms and have seen overwhelming results. With Lilu, moms are pumping 30% more milk per session,on average, than with their breast pumps alone. And the benefits go well beyond just increase in milk supply. We’re constantly flooded with pictures and messages from moms and influencers who tell us that they are finally able to give their hands the much needed rest and do other things while pumping, like using their phones or laptop or even playing with their babies!
We’ve already set up manufacturing and lined up supply chain to start shipping our first batch of the Lilu Massage Bra in May!
As fast as technology moves, advancement in postnatal tech has been lacking. We want to change that because we believe moms deserve more. The Lilu Massage Bra is just the beginning...

This is a product which every female with a just-born kid must have because there is absolutely no alternative to breast milk atleast during the first year of the baby's birth.This is a revolutionary product which helps a woman to spare her hands for multi-tasking even while breast-feeding the baby.

I had my baby January 21st, 2020. Used bra sporadically, didn't find a huge difference with it, so stopped using it for 2 months. Tried charging it to see if it would make a difference at this stage (3 month drop in supply), and it will not hold a charge. It's now a severely overpriced, inconvenient pumping bra with no other benefits. Would not recommend.
