THE LILU MASSAGE BRA
The first pumping bra of its kind
Imagine not being able to use your hands for 25% of your workday. Sounds stressful, right? For many moms returning from maternity leave, this is a daily reality.
It’s common for a mom to spend 2 hours of her workday pumping. But breast pumps aren’t as efficient as a nursing baby; so 2/3 of moms need to manually massage their breasts while pumping in order to produce enough milk to feed their babies. This makes breastfeeding even more complicated.
That's why co-founders Adriana & Sujay set out to make this experience easier for moms.
The Lilu Massage Bra is the first hands-free pumping bra with automated breast massage that helps moms pump more milk, in less time.
By mimicking the hand motions recommended by lactation experts, the Lilu Massage Bra gives moms all the benefits of breast massage hands-free. It's comfortable, adjustable, and compatible with most popular breast pumps on the market.
How it works
Custom-engineered massage cushions inside the bra compress your breast to stimulate milk glands and make pumping sessions more productive. Adjust the compression level to your comfort using the wireless, rechargable remote.
Moms wear the Lilu Massage Bra while pumping to:
- Get more milk
- Decrease pumping time
- Multi-task
- Get the proven benefits of breast massage, hands-free.

FOUNDERS' STORY
CEO & Co-founder
Adriana is a MIT alumna where she studied Math & Computer Science. After witnessing multiple coworkers struggle after returning from maternity leave, Adriana knew she wanted to design products to help new moms. She got her Masters in Integrated Product Design from the University of Pennsylvania where she began working on the Lilu Massage Bra.
Adriana is from Mexico City, a devout pescatarian, an avid bicycle commuter & sort-of speaks 4 languages.
CTO & Co-founder
Sujay received his BS in Electrical Engineering from Osmania University in India. After college, Sujay formed Jyothi, a nonprofit organization that provided victims of physical abuse with a platform to voice their complaints anonymously. He then obtained his Masters in Electrical Engineering from University of Pennsylvania where he started prototyping the original Lilu Massage Bra alongside Adriana.
Sujay loves to sketch and enjoys playing with electronics & building new things.
How it all started
Adriana & Sujay met in a soft robotics class at UPenn where they were lab partners. Both having a passion for empowering women & moms, they joined forces to create the Lilu Massage Bra. They've surveyed over 500 moms, conducted countless hours of R&D, and even beta tested the Lilu Massage Bra with over 100 moms.
Almost 3 years later, the bra is now available and helping moms pump more milk, hands-free!
