The second female part is attached to an outer layer of the pumping garment. In a doubly fastened configuration, the first female part is connected to the male part, the second female part is connected to the male part, and the first female part and the second female part are arranged side-by-side or the second female part is configured to be stacked upon the first female part.

The present invention relates to a therapeutic brassiere garment for healing or easing breast pain related to breastfeeding, surgery, menstruation, childbirth and more. The therapeutic brassiere garment features front panels with cups for covering and supporting breasts. Each front panel includes a pocket for holding a therapeutic pad. The therapeutic pad can be put in a microwave for heating and/or in a refrigerator/freezer for cooling and can then be accommodated in the pockets of the garment for providing hot and/or cold therapy. The garment comes in different sizes and styles available for pain relief due to any type of condition. Each pocket includes three sewn sides and an opening for preventing the therapeutic pad from slipping into inappropriate or uncomfortable positions while wearing the brassiere garment.

A brassiere having a pair of breast cups, shoulder straps and a chest band, wherein each of the breast cups can be attached to the shoulder straps using one of a plurality of fasteners, most typically standard nursing clips, with each fastener providing for a different fit. A first fastener could be attached directly to the breast cup and used to provide a snug fit, while a second fastener could be attached to the breast cup via an extension which provides a much looser fit. Using the second extended fastener would, for example, allow the bra to be used with an in-bra breast pump. The first fastener could be used to fit the bra properly when the in-bra breast pump is not in place.

A passive milk collection device for storing milk comprises a flexible inner member including a nipple hole for receiving a nipple, and in which, in use, part of the rear surface of the inner member is configured to securely seal onto a user's breast. The device includes a removable rigid outer member configured to attach onto the front surface of the inner member and to provide a free air space around the nipple area for storing milk from the nipple. The circumference of the outer edge of the rear surface of the flexible inner member is substantially larger than the circumference of the rigid outer member.

A monitoring system for monitoring milk flow during breast feeding or milk expression uses a flow sensor arrangement to monitor milk flow levels from different regions of the breast. A map of milk flow levels for different regions of the breast is then generated and displayed.
