Thank you for this! Just ordered one a couple of days ago but I hadn’t watched any reviews yet.. So happy to hear it’s a quality pump! So excited.

[@genuinelactation]

Most end up liking up! Hopefully it is a success for you!

Thank you, Jessica, for another very helpful video. I just saw your review video about the Elvie pump. So i have a question regarding using the Elvie stride with the app. Their website said its possible to use the stride without the app, but ill miss out on some important features (wonder which ones?). However i have an android phone. Does that mean i will also have many glitches like you like said in the Elvie pump video?

[@genuinelactation]

The app doesn’t have any special features for stride but it does let you control the pump. The stride is the same for android and ios

Any good way to figure out if the issue is the pump vs the cups? Would you try the cups with a pump you already like for example spectra to see if it’s the cups or what do you recommend

[@genuinelactation]

I would certainly recommend trying that in addition to triple checking bra fit, flange sizing, and alignment. You can also pair the Elvie pump motor with flanges to see if you just don't do well with the Elvie Stride suction.

Thank you for the informative video. What dish detergent would you recommend to hand wash these parts? Also is there a specific brush / sponge you’d recommend? Thank you

[@genuinelactation]

I use dapple as my primary soap! I love that stuff! And I love the munchkin bottle brushes!

[@ghazalao]

Can i use it as a primary pump??

[@genuinelactation]

It depends on your goals and your response to the pump

[@edengandy9872]

I know I'm late but hopefully it's not too late for a question, is this pump working okay for more elastic nipples?

[@genuinelactation]

It's never too late for questions! If you fit in the Elvie cushions there is a good chance it can work. If you don't we have more challenges to work with but overall the suction pattern on this pump when paired with that perfect flange fit tends to be a good option for elastic tissue.

Thank you so much!!
