Elvie Stride

What Caught Our Attention

The original Elvie Pump was one of the first wearable pumps on the market, but the brand’s newer Stride model has quickly become one of the most popular picks among Pregnancy Boss moms, who rave about its ease of use and efficiency.

Although the original Elvie is incredibly portable and convenient, one common complaint is that its suction (up to 220 mmHg) isn’t the strongest. Enter the Elvie Stride: Like the original Elvie, the Stride has two slim and comfortable cups, can store up to 5 ounces on each side and is blissfully quiet, thanks to noise reduction technology. But because the motor is separate (it’s connected to the cups by tubing), the suction is seriously powerful: It goes up to 300 mmHG, meaning it offers on-the-go hospital-grade strength. What’s more, the Stride is also cheaper than the original Elvie, so many moms find it easier to invest if paying out of pocket.

All Elvie pumps connect to an app, which allows you to control the pump remotely, adjust the intensity settings and check your pumping history. (You don’t have live milk monitoring with the Stride, however.) With slightly larger parts, some moms also say it’s a little easier to clean than the original Elvie, too.

The downside, of course, is that there is tubing and the motor hangs separately, which means it’s not as discreet as the original Elvie or some of the other wearable breast pumps on this list. But many moms say they’re willing to negotiate with the tubes in order to get superior suction power at a mid-range price point.

1. Positive Review: Elvie Stride – A Game-Changer for Busy Moms

ThatBoyMama: I’m thrilled with my Elvie Stride! As a working mom, this hands-free, wearable breast pump has been a game-changer for me. The freedom it provides is exceptional—I can discreetly pump while going about my day, whether it’s at work, running errands, or simply enjoying some downtime. The compact and wireless design means no more being tethered to a traditional pump, and the low noise level makes it perfect for various settings.

The Elvie Stride is incredibly comfortable with its soft, silicone breast shields and customizable fit. The app connectivity is a fantastic feature, allowing me to monitor pumping sessions, adjust settings, and track milk volume. The suction strength and efficiency are impressive, and the double pumping option saves me time.

While there was a bit of a learning curve during the initial setup, it quickly became user-friendly. The convenience and freedom it offers are truly priceless for mothers looking to balance their busy lives with breastfeeding. Despite being an investment, I highly recommend the Elvie Stride to fellow moms.

2. Negative Review: Elvie Stride – Disappointing Long-Term Performance

Kim: I had high hopes for the Elvie Stride, but after five months of exclusive use, I’m less than impressed. The initial experience was positive—its hands-free design and portability were convenient for a busy professional like me. However, issues started to surface with time.

The replacement parts are ridiculously expensive, and the requirement to purchase a complete container for a simple seal is both environmentally unfriendly and financially burdensome. The cups also have a tendency to pop apart when cold, even when new, causing inconvenience and frustration.

While the suction power was initially good, it significantly dropped after a few months of use. Customer service was unresponsive to my concerns, and I ultimately had to switch back to my previous pump.

Despite the promising features, the Elvie Stride’s long-term performance and the lack of support from customer service make it difficult for me to recommend this product. It’s essential to consider the potential costs and durability issues before investing in this wearable breast pump.

Momcozy S12 Pro Wearable Breast Pump

What Caught Our Attention

The Momcozy S12 Pro Wearable Breast Pump is a fantastic choice for three key reasons, according to Pregnancy Boss moms: it comes at a much more affordable price compared to its competitors (each pump is only $75, or $70 if you buy them as a double), it’s free from tubing, and it efficiently expresses milk.

The S12 Pro offers three modes—stimulation mode, expression mode, and a combo massage breast pumping mode—and nine suction levels, allowing you to find the right force for encouraging your milk to let down. Particularly noteworthy is that Pregnancy Boss moms have reported excellent output while using the S12 Pro, which boasts a suction of up to 270 mmHg. Some moms even claim it performs as well as more expensive pumps. (It’s worth mentioning: This brand has several wearable pumps, so if you need a bit more strength, the Momcozy V1, also very popular, goes up to 290mmHg.)

Although some find that Momcozy pumps aren’t as quiet as pricier options, the lower cost makes up for it significantly. Depending on where you’ll be pumping, the noise might not be a major concern for you, such as when pumping at home versus in the office.

User Reviews

1. Amazon Customer – 5.0 out of 5 stars – Way Better than Elvie and Willow 3.0

As a first-time mom who spent countless hours researching different pumps, I initially invested in the Elvie and Willow 3.0, thinking they would outperform others. However, I was sorely disappointed. The Elvie, while convenient and discreet, couldn’t match the output and leak-free experience of my Momcozy S12 Pro pumps. Even the Willow 3.0, with its separate reusable reservoirs, turned out to be a waste of money – prone to leaks, errors, and discomfort.

In contrast, my Momcozy S12 pumps became my go-to choice. They offered excellent output, never leaked, and provided the freedom to bend over and attend to my baby without issues. The Elvie and Willow pumps, on the other hand, often turned off mistakenly and leaked everywhere, making late-night troubleshooting a nightmare.

The Momcozy S12 pumps proved to be a wise investment, matching the output of my Spectra pump, lasting endlessly on a single charge with a regular USB-C charger, and providing the utmost comfort. Regrettably, I wasted money on the Elvie and Willow pumps – a lesson learned the hard way.

2. Amazon Customer – 3.0 out of 5 stars – Wish it was better.. but does the bare minimum

While the Elvie Stride does the bare minimum, it fell short of expectations for me. Despite being hands-free, I found myself needing to hold it in place until it secured well. Even with a very snug pumping bra, any movement would disrupt the suction, forcing me to constantly readjust. When my breasts were full and I was behind schedule, it struggled to hold on.

Moreover, the noise level was fairly high, disturbing my newborn during pumping sessions. Unfortunately, I encountered motor malfunctions with both pumps I purchased – one losing power, causing low suction, and the other having nozzle alignment issues, requiring me to hold it in place against the collection cup and my breast. This inconvenience was impractical for a solo mom in need of hands-free operation.

Despite its drawbacks, the Elvie Stride does perform its basic function. However, I’ve opted to return both units and search for a more hospital-grade, hands-free alternative to better suit my needs.

Elvie Pump

What Caught Our Attention

When searching for a discreet breast pump, noise level becomes a crucial factor, and this wearable pump truly excels in this aspect, emitting only the slightest sound during operation. I utilized the Elvie pump while breastfeeding both of my sons and discovered that the motor was quiet enough to use seamlessly during Zoom calls.

Aside from its gentle sound, I found this pump to be overall outstanding: it’s intuitive, easy to set up, sleek, and remarkably discreet. Its compact dimensions of 5 x 4.3 x 2.7 inches make it one of the slimmest wearable pumps available, catering to moms who prioritize portability for an entirely hands-free experience by wearing it in their bra. The included soft travel bag is also ideal for on-the-go convenience. The attached container ensures that milk drips directly into it, eliminating the need for continuously purchasing expensive bags.

Senior SEO Strategist and mom of a 1-year-old, Jessica Anderson, who also uses an Elvie, shares her agreement. “It unquestionably fulfills its role as a wearable pump because it is super quiet, fits easily inside a nursing or other stretchy bra, and I found it relatively easy to clean,” she notes.

As an added benefit, I also found the Elvie app to be impressive (as do many other Pregnancy Boss moms). It allowed me to monitor the amount of milk I pumped in real time and review detailed information about my pumping history.

However, one drawback is that the parts are smaller, posing a challenge in terms of keeping track of and cleaning them compared to other wearable pumps on this list. The cups also proved a bit tricky for pouring milk, occasionally resulting in overflow and leaks if not closely monitored during pumping (though I had an oversupply, which might contribute to this issue).

1. Hannah – 5.0 out of 5 stars (Top Positive Review)

Life-Changing

So I finally caved and got this after pumping standing up in the bathroom at work every night and then ending up with a clogged milk duct after a crazy 16hr shift where I only got to pump twice. As a rapid response nurse, I never know when I’m going to get called to an emergency and the one pump room is often occupied. The Elvie has made pumping at work and home a dream. And I never thought I’d say that about pumping!!

1. This pump is definitely not for everyone. After extensive research, it seems like the effectiveness of this pump largely depends on your breast shape, nipple, let down, etc. For me, it works BETTER than my Spectra!! It’s less uncomfortable, and I get twice as much milk pumping with the Elvie. Definitely not what I expected!
2. Super portable! I pop them on in the bathroom and then can go chart at the nurses station, drive to pick up my daughter from daycare, do the dishes, indulge in a 15min skincare routine, the options are endless. I wouldn’t do anything crazy, or anything that requires a lot of bending over since I did read that leaks can happen. I try to minimize walking as well since it sloshes the milk around a lot. I’m definitely not coding a patient while pumping, that’s for sure.
3. It does make your boobs look massive (this Dolly Parton meets Pam Anderson). Especially since I’m already a 32DDD, the girls look huge with the pumps on. But I wear scrubs at work which are baggy, you could also throw a hoodie or scarf over.
4. It is not completely silent. Someone sitting next to you could hear it; however, I don’t think it would interfere with phone calls, zoom meetings, etc. I don’t really care and am not shy around my coworkers. I usually just tell them I’m pumping lol.
5. It comes with lots of pieces! 4 sets of bottles/parts. The only thing there isn’t 4 of is the flange. There are 2 24mm and I think 2 28mm. You could always buy another set of flanges if you wanted though. It also comes with bra extenders which have enabled me to fit them in every bra I own (wired and wireless).
6. The battery life could be a little longer. I get ~3 20min pumps. But for the size, it makes sense that they can’t have a huge/heavy battery. It takes about 2hrs to charge I think, but I can’t say I’ve timed it.
7. I have read that the battery can crap out or the device can be damaged by milk. Also, that parts can warp over time despite following sanitizing instructions. However, I also read that Elvie has excellent customer service and will replace parts, even the device with a warranty.
8. One last point, the pieces are similar to my Spectra and it’s about the same time to wash. It just takes some time for them to dry.

Long story short, it’s a gamble, but if they work for you it’s worth every penny. There are lots available on eBay that are open box or someone is selling bc it didn’t work for them. I chose to buy new to ensure that I got the warranty. My stress levels over pumping have decreased dramatically, and I am putting more milk in the freezer for my baby.

2. Kirs – 1.0 out of 5 stars (Top Critical Review)

Thought I’d love it, very disappointed.

Let me say I am VERY disappointed in this product. I have tried on multiple occasions to keep using this product as well as seek support. It seems like there is always an issue. Aside from medical factors this pump leaks, has inconsistent suction, and randomly powers off (not pause, it turns entirely off). The only thing consistent about these pumps is the amount of issues it’s causing. Over the last month postpartum, I have probably spent too much time stressing about this product.

Medically these pumps have caused so much pain and trauma to my nipples. After consulting with a lactation specialist, I was sized to the correct flange and STILL had pain. I went as far as seeing the doctor because blisters formed on my nipples, which ended up also causing thrush! Constantly having open sores from these pumps has led both the doctor and lactation consultant advising me to stop the use! Ridiculous that I’m out hundreds of dollars on these pumps and all the accessories I’ve invested in to try to make these work for me.

This product is promoted as pumping anytime/anywhere, silent, wearable, hassle-free, smart, and responsive. It’s really unfortunate that I can find a problem with each of these categories….

How can I pump anytime/anywhere when I have been advised by support to sit still, in an upright position many times? To avoid leaking this is what I was told to fix the issue. NEWSFLASH this item STILL leaks when I do this! Besides the point, the #1 reason to buy this pump is the ability to be portable. When you barely have enough supply for your baby, it’s very discouraging and disappointing to have it leak all over. Support also advised me to check all the pieces which of course they all seem fine (at least in my eyes). Yet, still I have leakage.

As for silent, I wouldn’t classify this as silent. Maybe if you had a movie playing or music playing, nobody else would notice but you would definitely know it’s on. I am also fairly certain a baby would wake up if it was in the same room. After all the trials and errors, it would be nice to be able to use the pumps overnight without worrying about being too loud for a roommate or my baby.

If you’re looking for something hassle-free, keep looking. I do not find these pumps hassle-free. All the hidden buttons, the covers for the charging port, and the lights. I find that to be very confusing, especially when all I want to do is simply pump. I am constantly having to check to make sure I don’t accidentally press the wrong button while pumping. There’s a whole list of hidden things to know before using and I find it to be frustrating.

I’m not going to say that the customer service isn’t great. They have been very supportive and helpful when I have needed it. They’ve helped me replace many parts but at some point, it’s not worth it. Especially when it’s the pump randomly shutting off. Nobody seems to know why, or how to stop it.

I honestly was excited and hopeful this was going to be the solution to being able to exclusively pump. However, after going back to work I am no longer able to keep up with my baby’s feeds because the pumps are too inconsistent. Overall, I would not recommend this pump to anyone in my life. I will always advise to try to find something else.

Willow 3.0

What Caught Our Attention

In contrast to the other models featured here, the Willow 3.0 adopts a unique approach by collecting milk into clever “O”-shaped leak-proof bags that hang beneath each pump, as opposed to a built-in storage container. This design facilitates 360-degree mobility, allowing you to pump in any position without the concern of leaks. As one Pregnancy Boss mom aptly describes it, this setup makes it easy to multitask and do “literally everything,” from working and cleaning to cooking, chasing around a toddler, and even sleeping.

While it comes with a higher price tag compared to many other wireless pumps, the Willow 3.0 offers commendable battery life (a single charge accommodates five 15-minute pumping sessions). It seamlessly connects to an app and demands minimal effort on your part. The Willow features two phases, stimulation and expression, automatically transitioning when it detects a let-down, reducing the need for additional intervention. Cleaning is a breeze as there are only two parts to attend to—considerably fewer than standard breast pumps—allowing for handwashing or convenient placement in the top rack of your dishwasher.

However, a significant drawback to the Willow 3.0 is the smaller capacity of each bag compared to most other wearable pumps (just 4 ounces per side). Additionally, the ongoing need to replace the bags, which are sold separately, contributes to the overall cost of this already-expensive pump over time.

1. NomadCj – 5.0 out of 5 stars (Top Positive Review)

Still Pumping Thanks to Willow!

I struggle with breastfeeding, and the thought of being connected to tubes and flanges all day made me consider quitting. After extensive research, I invested in the Willow pump, and it’s been a game-changer. The learning curve is there, but the app provides helpful how-to videos. The pump is strong, takes some getting used to, and, yes, it’s HUGE. But the freedom to be hands/tube-free and live my life is priceless. Whether on the road, visiting, or out to dinner, it’s great. I use both the sealed bags and reusable containers, and they’re super helpful in different situations. Despite minor drawbacks, it’s one of the best purchases I’ve made as a new mom. Highly recommend it!

2. Amazon Customer – 1.0 out of 5 stars (Top Critical Review)

DO NOT BUY WILLOW PRODUCTS. They are awful.

Willow 3.0 and Willow Go are both cheap, difficult to use/clean, and not worth the money. Experienced issues with motor breakdowns, painful experiences, and constant errors. Frustrated with the high cost and lack of reliability. Disappointed in the product quality, customer service, and the overall investment. Does not recommend Willow products due to consistent problems and lack of refunds.

Baby Buddha Single or Double Portable Breast Pump

What Caught Our Attention

The Baby Buddha Breast Pump is a compact powerhouse. With five levels of pumping in stimulation mode and nine levels in expression mode, you can easily find a suction level that suits your needs. Boasting an impressive suction power of up to 320 mmHg, numerous Pregnancy Boss moms acclaim it as one of the most effective hands-free pumps for milk collection. Its remarkable power translates to quick pumping sessions—some moms even report it cutting their pumping time in half compared to other pumps. What’s more, it comes with a more reasonable price tag than some alternatives on this list.

While it’s highly portable and lightweight, it’s not inherently a fully wearable option. To achieve a hands-free experience, you’ll need to pair it with a pumping bra and utilize the included lanyard to hang the petite pump around your neck or tuck it into your pocket. Nevertheless, many Pregnancy Boss moms enhance the pump’s discretion and comfort by using it with Freemie collection cups, allowing them to engage in various activities while pumping.

1. Elvie Stride – A Game-Changer for Exclusive Pumpers – By Amazon Customer

I’ve been exclusively pumping for my NICU baby for 6 months, and the Elvie Stride has been a game-changer for me. I started my pumping journey with a wall plug-in Spectra, then tried the Momcozy M5. However, the Elvie Stride, especially with its stimulation mode, is my favorite. It’s intense but effective. After just a week of use, I still find myself holding my breath on that 11th beat. What sets it apart is the freedom it provides – I can move around, play with my kids, clean up, and make dinner while pumping. Comparing it to my other pumps, I appreciate the visibility it offers, allowing me to monitor everything, from alignment to output. Plus, it gets the job done in 15-20 minutes, a significant time saver compared to my Spectra (25 mins) and Momcozy (30 mins). Highly recommended for exclusive pumpers!

2. Critical Note on Customer Service –By Kristin

While the Elvie Stride has been amazing in terms of performance, my experience with customer service was disappointing. I purchased the pump in March, and by August, I noticed a decline in suction and a dip in my milk supply. Despite being under a 1-year limited warranty, the customer service process was a complete train wreck. They requested a video of the suction, referred me to their lactation specialist, and insisted on a video call. After a frustrating interaction, I turned to my protection plan provider, Assurion, who promptly issued a refund. My advice: invest in the service plan, as customer service may find any reason to avoid honoring the warranty.

Willow Go

What Caught Our Attention

The Willow Go, equipped with a 7-ounce container, retains its truly wearable and discreet design. At first glance, the Willow Go closely resembles the 3.0. However, unlike the Willow 3.0, the Go accumulates milk in built-in containers, eliminating the need for continual repurchasing of milk bags. Notably more budget-friendly, the Willow Go has swiftly become a favored choice among Pregnancy Boss moms since its introduction a few years ago.

Similar to the Willow 3.0, the Go is slightly larger and heavier than some other wearable pumps on the market, particularly in comparison to the original Elvie. Nevertheless, many moms find it more user-friendly, partly due to the larger and easier-to-clean pieces and the simplicity of pouring milk: After completing your pumping session, tipping the entire pump allows the milk to be poured out from the top. Additionally, the Willow Go boasts an impressive suction power of up to 280 mmHg.

It’s important to note that the main pump comes with 5-ounce containers, so you’ll need to ensure you purchase the pump that includes both the 5- and 7-ounce options or buy the larger ones separately (the cost is roughly the same either way). Due to its slightly larger size compared to other pumps, wearing it discreetly in a bra might be a bit more challenging. Moreover, because it utilizes reusable containers instead of the special O-shaped bags, it’s not as leak-proof as the Willow 3.0. If you plan to use a wearable pump frequently while multitasking around the house and bending over, the Willow 3.0 might be a preferable choice.

In conclusion, while the Willow Go is a commendable pump, it’s essential to keep in mind that it may not be potent enough for exclusive pumping, as noted by a mom of a 3-year-old and 8-month old: “The Willow Go serves its purpose if I absolutely need to be pumping when I’m out and about, but it doesn’t work as well as the Spectra that I use.”

1. Elvie Stride – A Mixed Bag of Convenience and Frustration – By Alicia Van

I absolutely love the Elvie Stride – it’s hands down the best hands-free pump in my experience. Initially, I had to order larger cups and flanges, but the convenience it brings to my everyday pumping routine makes it well worth it. With a full charge, I can get four sessions, and recharging is quick. The comfort and ease of cleaning are additional perks that make it my go-to pump.

2. A Bummed New Mom’s Experience – By Ellie

I’m writing this review with a heavy heart, as the Elvie Stride turned out to be a disappointment just a week into using it. Charging issues and a significant drop in suction efficiency made it unusable. The convenience was there, but only if it worked properly. I’m a mom of a two-week-old and a toddler, and the hope for a seamless pumping experience was crushed. I wish the company would consider replacements rather than leaving customers frustrated. The struggle with insufficient charging, suction, and the need for a full charge every time has led me to seek alternatives, despite the initial excitement and positive reviews.

Are hands-free pumps better than breast pump bras?

Hands-free pumps and breast pump bras serve different purposes. Hands-free pumps are designed to allow mothers to pump milk while doing other tasks, providing flexibility and convenience. On the other hand, breast pump bras hold pump parts in place, leaving the hands free for other tasks, making it easier and more convenient to pump milk. The choice between the two depends on individual preferences and needs. Hands-free pumps offer the advantage of allowing multitasking, while breast pump bras provide stability and comfort, making pumping more convenient.

Should you buy a manual breast pump or a hands-free pump?

​The decision to buy a manual breast pump or a hands-free pump depends on individual needs and preferences. Manual breast pumps are hand-operated and are more portable, convenient, and cost-effective. They are suitable for occasional use and can be used on one breast at a time. On the other hand, hands-free pumps, which can be electric or battery-powered, provide flexibility and allow multitasking. They are suitable for regular use and can pump from both breasts simultaneously. The choice between the two depends on factors such as pumping frequency, pumping goals, and lifestyle.

What are the different types of pumps?

​There are several types of breast pumps, including manual pumps, battery-powered pumps, and electric pumps. Manual pumps are hand-operated and are portable and convenient for occasional use. Battery-powered pumps are also portable and do not rely on a power source, providing flexibility for pumping on the go. Electric pumps use a small motorized pump that creates suction to extract milk from the breasts and may have additional features such as double pumping capabilities. The choice of pump type depends on individual needs, lifestyle, and pumping goals.

How long should you pump for?

​The duration of pumping depends on individual circumstances and goals. For regular pumping, a typical pumping session may last around 15-20 minutes, but this can vary based on factors such as milk supply, baby’s feeding schedule, and individual comfort. Power pumping, which involves shorter, more frequent pumping sessions, can also be used to increase milk supply. It’s important to consult with a lactation consultant or healthcare provider for personalized guidance on pumping duration.

How do you sterilize a breast pump?

​Sterilizing a breast pump is essential to ensure the safety and cleanliness of the equipment. The general steps for sterilizing a breast pump include disassembling the pump parts, washing them with soap and water, rinsing thoroughly, and then sterilizing by boiling, using a steam sterilizer, or using microwave sterilization bags. It’s important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for sterilizing the specific breast pump model being used to ensure proper sterilization and maintenance of the equipment.

Can you pump directly from a breast milk storage system?

​Yes, it is possible to pump directly into a breast milk storage system. Many breast pump manufacturers offer compatible breast milk storage containers or bags that can be attached directly to the breast pump, allowing for convenient and hygienic milk collection and storage. This feature provides added convenience for pumping and storing breast milk, especially for mothers who pump regularly or need to build a milk supply.

Will wearing a breast pump make you lose your nipple?

​Wearing a breast pump should not cause the loss of a nipple. Breast pumps are designed to create suction to express milk from the breasts and should not cause harm to the nipples when used correctly. It’s important to ensure that the breast pump is used according to the manufacturer’s instructions and that the suction level is comfortable and appropriate for individual comfort. If there are concerns about nipple discomfort or injury while using a breast pump, it’s advisable to seek guidance from a lactation consultant or healthcare provider.
