    Whether you’re at home, at work, or on the go, these small ergonomic tweaks can make a huge difference—saving time, reducing pain, and helping you get the most out of every session.

     

    Grab a chair, a towel, and your pump, and let’s make pumping a little easier and a lot more comfortable 🤍
