I should have said breast drainage, not pump - something entirely different! See, my brain is still not in gear.
They are bags with adjustable straps, worn over the shoulder or across the body, for the Breast Clinic to give to patients who have had a mastectomy and are sent home with drains in situ. Usually they are discharged with two drainage bottles in a hospital pillow slip. Making these bags to carry the drainage bottles makes life more pleasant and convenient for the ladies (and men) as they are often in use for 2 - 3 months. It is a challenge to make them attractive as well as functional.
