PUMP MORE MILK,
HANDS FREE.
The first hands-free pumping bra with automated breast massage.
The Lilu Massage Bra is the first hands-free pumping bra with automated breast massage.
motherhood is special, but it isn't always easy
In fact, motherhood can be stressful, exhausting, painful, and confusing. That’s why at Lilu we are building smart products especially designed to make mom's lives easier.
We created the Lilu Massage Bra to help moms continue to provide milk for their babies, even when leading busy, multifaceted lives. Being away from their baby and having to pump is hard enough.
The Lilu Bra helps makes pumping easier and more efficient, so that moms can continue their breastfeeding relationship for as long as they want to.
The first version sold out amidst the pandemic and the incredible challenges facing new moms, and Lilu is announcing the launch of the new generation of their product line.

THE LILU MASSAGE BRA
It’s common for a new mom to spend 1-2 hours per day pumping (or upwards of 5 hours for moms who exclusively breast pump!)
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 completely 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 the breast to stimulate milk glands and make pumping sessions more productive.
Moms wear the Lilu Massage Bra while pumping to:
- • Pump more milk
- • Decrease pumping time
- • Get other stuff done and multitask while pumping (work, take care of baby, or simply relax!)
- • Get the proven benefits of breast massage, hands-free
- • Improve ergonomics and comfort while pumping
- • Improve and maintain their milk supply

Pumping Massage Bra after selling out of their award winning innovation for breastfeeding moms.
This bra makes pumping truly hands-free as it incorporates gentle technology that compresses the breasts to mimic recommended hand massage while pumping sothat breastfeeding moms can pump more milk in less time.

decided to collect all the feedback we had gotten from thousands of moms and work towards making our
product even better" explains Lilu’s CEO and co-founder, Adriana Vazquez.

TESTIMONIALS
"I gave birth to a preemie at 30w5d. Building supply was of utmost importance. I needed something that would help massage as I pumped, since ergonomically the massaging began to take a toll on my hands (it would also free up my hands to work). The lilu bra was the only thing I saw that fit what I needed. The milk production increase was noticeable from day 1, and it is an indispensable part of every pump. I've been using it for over a year! " - KT, Lilu mama

How it all started
Adriana & Sujay met in an embedded systems (geek for robotics!) robotics class at UPenn where they were lab partners and found a common interest in healthcare and helping human kind. Both having a passion for empowering women & moms, they joined forces to create the Lilu Massage Bra. Prior to launching Lilu, they surveyed over 1000 moms, conducted countless hours of R&D, and beta tested Franken-bras with over 100 moms until they landed on the Lilu Massage Bra.
