20: Not Your Mama’s Pumping Bra

<p><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 10pt;">Their name says it all: Larken means fierce in Gaelic. In this episode of the BeauGen Express Yourself Podcast, we hear the story of two fierce mamas on the search for a comfortable and wearable bra for working moms. Katie and Maggie, both formerly corporate attorneys, were in need of a bra that they could wear all day long, and also use to pump while at the office. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 10pt;">Trying bra after bra, nothing laid flat, held their pump, or was comfortable enough to wear all day long. Trying to pump at work meant stripping down, changing bras, and praying no one opened their office door. While pregnant with their second daughters, Katie and Maggie gave birth to Larken X. </span></p> <p><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt;">What we covered:</span></strong></p> <ul> <li><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 10pt;">Katie and Maggie’s story of breastfeeding and pumping at work.</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 10pt;">How they formed Larken in the wee hours of the night while their families slept.</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 10pt;">Everything a mom needs from a good bra and the design challenge this presents.</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 10pt;">Not all fabric is created equal.</span></li> </ul> <p><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Related Episodes:</span></strong></p> <p><a href= "https://www.beaugen.com/blogs/beaugen-mom-podcast/19-transitioning-back-to-work-for-moms" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style= "font-weight: 400; font-size: 10pt;">Sarah Wells</span></a></p> <p><a href= "https://www.beaugen.com/blogs/beaugen-mom-podcast/18-from-failure-to-thrive-to-thriving-through-nutrition" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style= "font-weight: 400; font-size: 10pt;">Momful</span></a></p> <p><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Learn more about Larken: </span></strong></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><a href= "htt
