Got this to see how my partner got on with pumping after having a new born.
It’s great for a first time pump. Very easy to use and clean etc.
When feeding I use this and it cuts the pumping time down so much and easy to keep on when feeding. So happy I purchased this makes my pumping/feeding sessions a lot smoothe
I had an electric pump and this was still so much more convenient for me because I didn’t spend as much time using this as I did with the medela machine pump. The hand help one felt more comfortable to use overtime and produced more milk for me. Easy enough to clean also. Just brillia
I absolutely love this pump. I have tried a few electric pumps and did not like them. This pump by far helps me get a lot of milk. 1st pic is 2days PP and 2nd pic is a 2 weeks PP when my milk supply was established. Easy to clean, assemble and use. Would definitely recommend!
Pump works well, easy to clean and store too, but it is hard work highly recommend an electric one I got tired of this really fast when first starting out.
We chose this brand over the haaka due to the additional accessories it comes with. Does the job exactly the same and the other covers and seals and lanyard are great. It’s easy to clean and was a great price too
Great suction and puts you in control on how deep you want that or are comfortable with. I believe I got more milk with manual than an electric pump. Only reduced using this as I started getting carpel tunnel due to repetitive hand movements for many pumps sessions a day.
I am an exclusively pumping mama and bought this as an extra pump to use to relieve myself if needed. I was pleasantly surprised about how quickly my milk came out with this manual pump. I wouldn’t use it exclusively because it’s hard work on my hands and wrists but absolutely an essential to have in case anything happens to my electric pump. Also really great value and feels good quality
To save time, energy, even money, this is what works to produce more milk:
– first, use this manual pump. Or any other, but this one I tried and works very well; that’s why I said “even save money” because a manual pump is actually enough. If you find it’s weak, that’s only because the handle isn’t assembled properly, I’ve done this mistake myself. After proper way, the suction is actually strong and you don’t need more than that as it becomes painful. Prior to this pump I’ve spent money on very expensive electric pumps from the same brand and nothing helped me to get more than 80-100ml from both breasts, with lots of water and supplements included. The pump is super convenient, very easy to use, to wash and does a very quick and efficient job, can use it anywhere, anytime! Honestly, I get more milk and faster with this pump than an electric one! No need for bra to keep it on the breast or charging, etc.
– after using the pump, comes the most IMPORTANT STEP, the one that is vital to produce more milk but noone actually tells you about it! No midwife, no professionals or online articles. Everybody says pump, pump and pump as often as possible for like 15-20 min, BUT that’s just not it!!! What you need to do is express the milk with your own hands, also called COMPRESSING the breast. This is the second best way, after baby sucking, to get the milk out of the breasts! No pump, no matter what kind, has the same efficiency as your hands to express the milk! And if you don’t empty the breasts as much as possible, they won’t produce much milk
– in parallel with the above, hydration, healthy food, supplements, teas, etc will do best.
The results are almost immediate because a breast that gets emptied as much as possible will try cope with the demand and produce more milk.
This is a must have for mums who are breastfeeding. So easy to use and to clean, self attaches and catches the milk from my other breast while baby is feeding on the other. The base sticks to flat surfaces to ensure you don’t accidentally drop it.
Had the tommy tippy pump first but found the silicone around it eventually loses its fit and prevents proper suction. This has Great suction very easy to take apart and clean. Has a feature to stimulate milk to come in before properly pumping
For a manual pump , it’s really good. Easy to use and easy to clean. It does gets very tiring after using it a while but then again it’s manual so that’s bound to al happen.
This product gets the job done, its very good to use after taking a break from the electric one and helps capture all of the liquid gold. It always comes in handy when the electric isn’t at hand. It is also easy to clean and put together for quick use.
Overall good pump but the measurements on the side of the bottle are useless. It doesn’t make sense and is difficult to see how much exactly is in the bottle. The scale is not uniform and favours Oz instead of ml.
Nice little item for the job.
The suction is very like the suction that baby does and stimulates the nipple really well. I have been able to collect about 3-5 oz a day, enough for the bedtime feed that husband does, with the nuby. I have only used this for 2 days and I have 4 bottles of milk. 20oz!!! Which is great if I need a break during the day so someone else can feed baby.
Easy to clean and put together. Easy to use.
Definitely would recommend buying.
After spending hundreds on various different electric breast pumps, with the most recent being the new Elvie Stride, I had accepted that my body just didn’t respond to them too well. So much so, pumping when I’m away from home was too difficult and I had to accept that I had to start combi feeding my daughter. I brought this pump purely to relieve me when I was full and away from home until my milk supply reduced now I have introduced formula.
Once I received this I was eager to give it a quick try not expecting much.
I got more out in 5 minutes when my boobs were feeling very empty, than I ever did with an electric pump even when my breasts felt full.
I’m completely
Amazed and it has made me feel like I can continue my breast feeding journey longer than expected.
I feel my milk is removed with this even quicker than my baby removes it.
So pleased I brought this.
A little background – My baby had latching issues so I decided to combo feed as I wanted my baby to have some breast milk as opposed to none. I purchased a electric wearable pump along side haka manual pump. The electric pump would take 40 minutes to get maybe an ounce of breast milk although my supply was really good !!
Moving forward , I became sick of latching and pumping issues and as a last resort I decided to find one more pump. After reading reviews I purchased this manual pump and I was amazed at how quick I was able to collect 3-4oz of breast milk 10-15 minutes !!
Pros :
Good suction
Can collect milk a lot quicker than other pumps
Cheap
Easy to assemble and use
Cons :
Manual – it can get tiring
In the short time I did use this pump it was by far the best , I’m glad I came across it. Unfortunately I didn’t use it long enough to find other negatives. But definitely pleased I came across this. At times I doubted my supply as my child would get fussy while using nipple shields but turns out my supply was great and she didn’t like the shields. Therefore this pump saved my journey and prolonged it for as long as I could cope 🙂
Today my Medela Harmony pump came in! If you are like me and research too much, and have a need to learn everything you can about everything you do; this pump taught me more about myself and my breasts than anything I have ever read. I’m flabbergasted. I was able to learn what pumping without pain feels like, that my nipples are just fine, that the pattern my daughter uses when nursing is more effective than I thought in pulling milk and now I know she gets what she needs while nursing, that I could have saved a good chunk of money and heart ache by going the manual route a long time ago, now I know what empty breasts feel like, it took a fraction of the time the electric pump takes AND I get more milk than ever before! Hospitals should give us a manual pump in the hospital. It was a truly eye-opening learning experience!! We’re all different but this is something I’ll be sharing with every new mom I mee
Really happy with this hand pump.
I’ve returned to work now and having to express whilst at work. I only work two days a week and my little one is 1 so I’m hoping not to be feeding much longer so didn’t want to spend too much on a hand pump. I bought a hand pump for a tenner, from a brand I’d never heard of, it was fine but got really noisy really quickly, I think where it didn’t dry very well as water would get trapped. This made my expression periods awful as I felt really insecure sitting expressing noisily! Anyway so I had to get a new pump and after reading the reviews for several pumps, I settled on this one, which was the most expensive but still really cheap in the grand scheme of things!
I AM SO PLEASED I BOUGHT THIS PUMP!! It super easy to clean, the shield is comfortable, it’s SILENT and the handle is comfortable to hold. It’s soft, ergonomical, it turns to whichever position your hand is in so you’re not sitting with your arms at awkward angles, my thumb fits in nicely to hold around the bottle neck as it’s slightly curved as if to fit around your thumb as most people will hold in that position.
So far, I can’t fault this product. Wish I hadn’t wasted the tenner on the last pump and just went for this one straight away!!
At first I didn’t think this pump worked however I was using it wrong. Someone told me to do ‘short pumps’, meaning to not pull the level all the way in. Just pull the lever a short way in to mimic how your baby feeds. Since I tried it like that I have had great results.
The pump bottle is really nice and comfortable to hold. It’s also very quiet which I love as the handle on my old pump was so creaky!
Only reason I have given 4 stars is that the lever has fell off a couple of times. Not while using it, but while carrying it. For some reason the lever doesn’t tighten very much to the main pump body.
I have medela maxi swing electric pump and have been using it for 8months on my first baby and now it’s 2 months for my second baby. This time I had to go back to work literally after one month my baby was born and have been using the electric pump at work but it takes up to 1 hour or more to drain both sides and you are of course tethered to the cords. Plus it takes so much time to set up the whole thing. I thought I’d give this hand pump a try and OMG this is just insane how powerful and quick it is, not mentioning the Brilliance of absence of “wooee wooee wooee” sound. Basically I drained both sides within 25 minutes and shockingly got more milk out. I’m guessing if you want to increase the amount or if you want to get the milk out as quick as possible and continue with your whatever this pump is a perfect solution. Super easy to use, assemble and clean. It’s perfect for nighttime as well when you don’t want to get up from bed and sit in the kitchen tangled in the cords and listening to “wooee wooee wooee” sound at 3am in the morning.
Just get this one honestly.
