I love having a portable pump! I was in a wedding six weeks postpartum and I used this every 2-3 hours while getting ready and during the reception. I was able to wear it while I was getting my make up done and even in some of the bridesmaids getting ready photos (it isn’t very discrete but my top was very loose fitting so I was able to position myself/my top so that it wasn’t noticeable). I also use this if I need to pump and it’s just me and my baby at home because if he wakes up or starts crying, I’m able to get up to get him. I love the flexibility a portable pump allows.
This pump is very easy to use. I think it works better if you are wearing a more supportive nursing bra. I usually get the same amount of milk using this pump as my spectra wall pump, although some people say they have to wear it longer than a usual pumping session. There are a few more small parts than other pumps so cleaning it is a little more work, but I don’t mind that since we all know washing any pump parts is a struggle. Overall, I wouldn’t use this as my primary pump, but it is great for on the go.
