Thank you so much for this detailed review. Ppl rave about the Elvie but no way I am paying close to 200 for a pump. This is my 3rd and I've had other hands electric pumps just kind of bulky. I have been eyeing this pump for awhile but was skeptical if it was as good as the expensive ones. I appreciate your demonstration and detailed review and honest opinion. I can now feel comfortable purchasing this when I return to work cause I too work in an office setting and sit kind of close to others. Orher than the flat top it is discreet as one can hope for such a fraction of the price!
I purchased a Willow second hand and closer to the end of my journey I went back to these pumps! It’s soooooo much easier to clean and you don’t have to worry about the technical side of things. Them expensive wearable pumps are a hassle! These cheaper pumps like this are just easy! So I’m glad you found this super informative!
First off girl your so beautiful ☺️ secondly I love this video.!!! Thanks for being so informative and for helping other breastfeeding women to find a handsfree breast pump on a budget. Cause all of us mommies don't got it like that you feel me so yeah I appreciate you making this video good looking girlie😊🙏🏽👍🏽so I been trying to find a hands free breast pump that isn't gonna break my bank account. Thanks so much God bless.
You have the most pleasant smile! Love your videos even though my baby days are done! Lol. I wish we had pumps like that 27 years ago! I remember running out of church the very first time I went after giving birth because I went passed feeding time and I tried to stay and not walk out..let's just say I ran to my car afterwards and by the time I got home I was a wet flooded mess!
Hahahah oh my! I can only imagine! At the beginning of my breastfeeding journey if I was a minute past time my shirt would be drenched! Now not so much since my supply has significantly gone down!
Thank you so much for the video! I got this from my baby shower and was wondering how to use it. Your personality is delightful ❤
I just ordered a wearable pump off Amazon too. Not this one, specifically. But i did see this one. I wish I would’ve researched first. Like you said I can’t spend $500 on a pump. My baby is now almost 10 months. Great review!!!
Thank you! I did end up getting a used willow and loved it! But honestly, it wasn’t better than this pump right here! Less techy and less problems!
@@SamanthaKAllThingsRandom I’m stuck between the Willow Go and the Elvie Stride 😩
@@lashandaallenredmon2109 I wanted to try the willow go this time around when my son gets here but i think ima just get a new set of the willow 3.0 based off the reviews! A lot of people loved the Elvie stride but I have no comments on it since I haven’t tried it!
*uodate** Amazon pump sucked. Got the Willow go and couldn’t be happier about it!
I looked in the description box and i see. "affordable wearable breast pump" and a few different brands came up I just want to make sure I get the one that you're talking about please and thank you
“The Zan” - How I will forever now refer to Amazon! Lol
… and “You had rocks , now you got pancakes 🥞 “ 😂😂😂😂
❤️ the video, Thanks!
Thank you so much for the video
Was it comfortable? Was it painful? How does it compare to other pumps like spectra?
It was very comfortable and i can’t really say on the pain or pumping because i made that video a few months into my breastfeeding journey so the nipped aren’t sore any more. I can only compare it to the pumps I’ve used and spectra isn’t one of them! However it’s very comparable to the willow pump!
@@SamanthaKAllThingsRandom thank you so much . My newborn requires me to hold her all day so I don’t get the chance to use my pumps.. I need something hands free
@@mscharita i think this would be perfect! That way when she’s feeding on one side, you can pump on the other side!
What brand is your 21mm insert flange? I am expecting this pump tmrw(2/16) and want to get the right brand/fit flange.
Hey, I know it’s been a while but what did you take to help increase your milk supply?
hey! sorry for the late response! and I'm on my second breastfeeding journey and the thing that is helping my supply is power pumping and pump princess, lactation cookies you can get from the store, and on weekends latching my baby all day if I can! hope this helps
Hey dear great vid really wanna order but looks like its unavailable with your link? Is it discontinued on amazon or i keep an eye for it being out of stock
I just checked and it is out of stock! the mom cozy is very similar if you want to try that!
so i just ordered this and it came in, i tried it on . and i’m not sure it’s suctioning my nipple , it feels to me it’s just making the sound an sitting there. i am 24 weeks pregnant so i haven’t started breast feeding , or leaking but i don’t think it’s properly working . it has no suction 😭 or maybe i just don’t know what i’m doing
How does the pump hold on when it's almost full..does it require any particular inner wear
Lol “you get pancakes”
I haven’t breastfed in 5 years and I’m like “yea… I remember those flapjacks” 😩😩
See!! 🤣🤣 I’m just like why! Why it’s the moms always getting the short end of the stick!
“You get pancakes 🥞 “ 😂😂💀
HAHAH! Just like it was a mystery when we was pregnant.. every day is a mystery post baby LOL
I dont kind the noise as long as I can move around the house. Can you tell me if it pumps well and expresses good amount of milk?
Is that the bioboo brand? I bought 2 and I’m heavy chested and it only has suction for a few minutes then loses it all you hear is the tiny motor trying to suck again
It isn’t by that brand. The brand it’s by no longer sales it but it’s the same thing with them Amazon brands. I had to get inserts because those flanges are size 24. I’m like a size 21. After I got the inserts, i never had a problem with suction!
Ohhh i just got mine and it includes 27 and 24mm :) maybe its an update from them :) thank u!!
I'm late to the game, unavailable on Amazon. Great video and info though.
Would it be good for a first time mom with small breast I am lactating and stuff but I am trying to find a good pump
Hi! I see you said you got the Willow second hand. Since you own both, which one would you recommend?
Honestly the cheaper one since it’s cut and dry! The Willow was such a hassle to be that expensive! However, I still enjoyed the willow. So if money is a deal breaker, then the cheaper one will work exactly the same as the Willow, if not better! But if you just got the money to splurge to test it yourself, the Willow is cool! It’s a learning curve! I hoped this helped!
Just curious how this pump is holding up?
It’s still holding! I had purchased it like the beginning of the year and finally had got around to making a review on it! So it’s 7 months old during the time of the review! However, I currently own a second hand Willow now since I got a steal off Facebook market place. I keep this pump as my backup for when i don’t feel like washing my willow! Which is basically my night pumps! Hope this helps!
If you want proof you can DM me on Instagram @sammakins21 and i can show you! I actually have it at work with me today!
I didn’t get the name of the pump, can anyone tell me the brand name please.
Hi when I clicked on the first link it took me to the flanges instead of the pump.
Thank you so much! I probably had a lot of people confused! If you haven’t searched it already, I have updated the link in the bio 🥰 Happy New Year!
@@SamanthaKAllThingsRandom Yes, it's working now. Thank you and Happy New Year!!
I got this but after using it I massage and can still get some milk out. What am I doing wrong?
I’m wondering if you reassembled it wrong! It happened to me and i knew immediately because there was no suction! But if it’s assembled right and the suction is there, then maybe your flange size is wrong and you need to order a bigger or smaller flange size!
I think I reassembled mine wrong, there’s no suction and the first time I bought it there was
I’m cracking up at setting 9. Sounds scary 😆
Just bought this
I have this pump too Nd like it but the sound in the middle of the night if I use it is soooooo annoying
Yeah I can definitely understand stand that! I don’t pump at night so I totes didn’t think about mentioning it!
Hello! How would I know which size my nipples will need?
Sorry I’m a first time mom
You can measure them with a ruler! I had to UA-cam how to measure them. The nipples change so much during breastfeeding that i honestly just picked something until it felt right. But start off with measuring!
Hey Favs! Just want to make a correction! They do have flange sizes 24mm and 27mm! Also, the battery life on these pumps are wonderful! I get 4 -5 12minute pump session out of them!
