Elvie Manual Wearable Breast Pump - Elvie Curve - Just Press in-Bra to for a Continuous Natural Suction - Hands-Free, Kick-Proof, Portable Pump - in-Bra for Gently Expressing While Feeding or Pumping

Product Information

A pumping bra essentially converts an electric breast pump into a hand-free breast pump. In comparison, a hands-free breast pump is much more discreet and sits within your bra. These breast pumps are battery-powered and express and collect milk all in one unit. Our favourite Elvie alternative is technically still an Elvie product, but if you can’t afford the battery-powered model, try the Elvie Curve instead. It’s the latest breastfeeding product from the brand and launched alongside the Elvie Catch. Neither comes with the bells and whistles of the classic model, but they also don’t come with the high price tag. Rumina Pump and Nurse Strapless All-in-One Bra: Our tester appreciated the included clear instructions and extender piece for larger breasts but felt the five hook-and-eye closure was too much. Insert: Place a breast shield on each breast beneath the bustier, with yournipples centred in the tunnels.

Top tip: when you reach the highest or lowest intensity setting, the lights on your Hub’s Play/Pause button will flash 3 times.Noise level: Electric breast pumps tend to be pretty noisy, which can be impractical if you're expressing while your baby is asleep nearby, when you're at work or if you just want to hear what's on the telly. Whereas manual pumps are much quieter, and some make no noise at all. Wearable breast pumps are a revelation!’ says Lesley Bland, registered midwife at My Expert Midwife. ‘Unlike traditional breast pumps, wearable ones are cord-free, rechargeable, and fit discreetly inside the bra allowing new mums to multitask like never before.’

I used this frequently with my first child when I was pumping at work,” our tester said. “It was easy to put on and [take] off, especially without the straps. You can just pull down your regular bra and wrap this around your waist, zip up, and then pull [up] over your chest.”Probably the most established brand for breastfeeding mothers, Medela’s iconic Swing design has remained unchanged since it was first launched in the 1960s.
