LOVE: 35 NEUTRAL: 23
REGRET: 1 WANT: 87

  • Amazing! Bought during my 3rd pregnancy and wish I had it after my first baby. So liberating to not be tied down with cords and tubes in order to pump. I’ve been using for 6 mo now. Highly recommend! Mar 03, 2021

  • So happy I have this! Super convenient, quiet, great suction, but is a little learning curve compared to traditional pump. Just used their tips and it will work great. Also excellent customer service. Feb 27, 2021

  • I just bought this pump and I love it already! It’s super quiet and turns off automatically when full! Feb 10, 2021

  • Being able to hold LO while pumping has been a game changer. The pumps do have their kinks so patience is definitely required. Customer service is great - replaced a hub when it stopped working. Feb 08, 2021

    Love this pump when I need to run errands or pump the other breast without worrying about my son knocking something off me. Also love the reusable containers. Feb 04, 2021

  • It does take a little getting used to. I will say that I was able to pump very discreetly during videoconference meetings and during family events while wearing a scarf or nursing cover. So quiet! Feb 02, 2021

  • I absolutely love this pump. This is the third pump I have tried and by far my favorite. It is so easy and convenient to use. I love that I can easily pump in my car if needed with these. Jan 17, 2021

  • Hands-down best breast pump! I used this 100x more than my spectra pump. It is so nice to be cord & hands free. I just wore under my sports bra. Made pumping a much more happy experience. Jan 11, 2021

  • Convenience - 100% in love. But I’m an oversupplied. So capacity and use time for charge, not great for me personally. But I loved having it when my son was in the NICU as it was discreet. Jan 02, 2021

    Suction does not work well. Moisture gets trapped easily and causes the pump to not work. Output is a fraction of that from a traditional pump. Also too many small parts to wash, which is a hassle. Dec 31, 2020

  • Spent a lot of time researching hands free pumps for a work trip. I had high hopes but it I never got as much milk from Elvie versus my more traditional Medela. Not to mention my boobs looked huge. Dec 25, 2020

  • Once I got the knack of the Elvie, it saved me at a time when I was going insane tied to a pump all day. Definitely a learning curve and might not get as much as a wired pump, but worth it to move. Dec 22, 2020

  • There is no way I would have continued breastfeeding as long as I did without the Elvie. It was a game changer. I could play with my son and not be hooked to the wall all day. Lots of parts to clean. Dec 10, 2020

  • I like this pump okay. It's not the strongest, and doesn't seem to collect as much milk as my beloved BabyBuddha, but in times when I need to be discreet I am glad I have this. Nov 27, 2020

  • Without a doubt, the single best baby purchase I have made. I’m able to pump more milk with this than the spectra. Oct 27, 2020

    • Kate W.

    • Sharon , Massachusetts

    This is an investment but is by far the best investment I’ve made as a parent. If you have to pump often for work or otherwise this makes it much more bearable and so much less of a chore! Oct 16, 2020

  • I alternate between this and the Spectra. Super portable and allows me to easily pump while doing things around the house. I even use it to pump in the car! Oct 06, 2020

  • I thought this would be super easy- it started off strong and got weaker. I am also not crazy about how everything has to go in containers and bags are not offered. Difficult to latch- just not consistent. I find myself using my medela instead. Aug 29, 2020

  • Great prdocut for SOME. I EPed for both kids, and with other pumps, you are able to see nipple placement, with elvie, you cant. I was never able to get a good fit. Gave it to a friend who loved it. Aug 29, 2020

    • Lisa V.

    • Santee, California

    This breast pump is a lifesaver!!! I also have the spectra1 pump and almost gave up on pumping because I hated having to hold the pumps and being attached to a cord. Aug 29, 2020

    • Shae S.

    • Livermore, California

    This was a life savor for baby 2. I don't think I would have been able to survive breastfeeding with a toddler and work without it! Aug 28, 2020

  • I love that I can get things done while pumping. I pump while walking baby in the stroller, doing laundry, dishes, preparing food, sweeping, you name it! Aug 19, 2020

  • I like the convenience of them and they surprisingly are able to pump a lot of milk but they are very temperamental, if they aren’t exactly right, they won’t work at all. Aug 15, 2020

  • Bought this pump for my third baby and it is AMAZING. I get great suction and the parts are easy to clean and put together. Well worth the expense to not be attached to the wall!! Aug 04, 2020

  • I use these pumps every single day and don't know how moms live without them! Once you get used to putting them on, they are a breeze! I don't go anywhere without them! Jun 25, 2020

    • Hsin L.

    • Mount Kisco, New York

    Great for working moms or those that want to pump for co-parent feeding. Expensive compared to other brands but worth it especially when there are sales and with completion discounts on top of that. May 20, 2020

  • I have not been able to use it just yet, but I look forward to it. Due to having 3 active kids, being a student, and a full time entrepreneur; I needed a breast pump that made life a little easier. Apr 17, 2020

  • My first impression was that this was a life changer. it works when it’s put on right but it is hard to do this every time because it is hard to see. So I tend to use my original pump for consistency Mar 29, 2020

  • Bought to help me be hands free with twin girls. Which was amazing but if I moved around too much it would automatically stop suctioning. Very sensitive if not aligned. That part I disliked. Mar 21, 2020

    • Elise M.

    • San Francisco, California

    I love this - it's comfortable, so easy to travel with, and relatively discreet. I don't even take my full-size pump on travel. I do wish the buttons didn't have lights as they show through my shirt. Mar 04, 2020

  • Game changer! Bought this after having my 2nd child & has made pumping/going back to work so much easier. Being able to set up quickly & be hands/cords free is everything. Customer service is stellar! Feb 15, 2020

  • Really like this pump so far.The suction isn’t like my medical grade pump but does help me be hands free and it has not leaked. The con is it’s pretty expensive and I don’t feel the bottles empty well Feb 12, 2020

  • I like the idea of this, but the bottles are hard to get milk out of. I do like being completely hands free and portable. I would buy this again, but would not recommend for exclusive pumpers. Feb 12, 2020

  • This pump is amazing, it feels just like my baby nursing. I get more using this than when I use my Spectra. I've not had issues with leakage and it's great to pump and not be tethered to the wall. Feb 02, 2020

  • I love my Elvie Pumps. I use them in the morning and when I am at work. They are noticeable through my shirt but still much less awkward than traditional pumps. I wear them while I type at my desk. Jan 28, 2020

    • Nicole S.

    • Summerville, South Carolina

    Once I found the correct flange for my nipple and assembled the units correctly, the pump has been wonderful. When I am engorged, I notice the units may leak. Other than that issue, the pump is great. Jan 20, 2020

  • I really wanted to love this pump. The freedom it gives you is amazing. I find that it doesn’t empty me well and I there is a bit of a learning curve to this pump. I used it for about 3 months. Jan 17, 2020

  • The most convenient product for moms, hands free pumping! Suction is good, easy to clean, and very easy to use. The oz measurement as recorded on the app is never accurate, it’s easy to override tho. Jan 05, 2020

  • Haven’t tried it yet, will re-review in a few weeks with baby #2! Jan 01, 2020

  • Worth it even if insurance won’t cover part. If you have a toddler to chase & an infant, you need this. It’s almost silent and fully discreet. I get great output. Fewer parts than traditional pumps. Dec 18, 2019

  • OMG!! I absolutely looooove this thing. Can't stress it enough! every nursing/working mom needs to get this. It frees up your hands like no other. Actually wearing it while I type this. Sep 27, 2019

    • Haley M.

    • Asheville, North Carolina

    I love the fit and how light it is but I give it neutral because the suction isn’t very strong. Otherwise I love it. I’m hopeful I can figure out how to get a better suction with it soon. Sep 06, 2019

  • Exclusive pumper here & I don't love it. It's not as efficient as a regular pump and can be painful at times. It is discreet & silent, when the app is working it's handy. This is my emergency pump Aug 11, 2019

    Why weeLove Milkflow Lactation Cookies:

    In case you need a valid excuse to eat cookies, here’s a really good one: boosting milk supply. Nursing moms need to fuel their bodies to keep up with the demands of milk production and new parenthood. (If you’ve been wearing the same pants for three days—we get it, girl!) While lactation teas, capsules and powders aren’t for everybody, cookies most certainly are.

    Milkflow™ from UpSpring created the first ever lactation cookies made with the dream team of ingredients: Fenugreek and Blessed Thistle. These two essentials work together to help naturally promote breast milk supply in those early days, during your baby’s growth spurts (when you’re glued to the glider for feedings!), and pumping sessions.

    Available in Oatmeal Raisin and Double Chocolate Chip, cookies are non-GMO and made in the USA with all natural ingredients. These tasty treats come in packs of two—perfect for tossing in your diaper bag for a healthy snack on the go. Each box comes with 10 packs (20 cookies total), so you’ll be able to keep your milk production going strong while keeping “Hangry Mom Running Errands” at bay. It’s a win-win.

Featured Parents' Reviews

  • I was so excited for this guy but it didn't really work for me. I'm not sure if it was my size or fit. My output was drops compared to the S2 spectra. Love the idea that it is portable and quiet tho! Sep 13, 2020

  • You need this mama. Really you do. I literally pumped at my desk at work with no one the wiser (just wear a sneaky scarf), while driving home, while doing dishes, etc. It saved me so much time! Sep 11, 2020

  • I am in LOVE with this pump. It's is so convenient. I have the double pump, and usually keep one in my purse so I can pump on the go. The suction is SO much more efficient than my Medela Freestyle. Feb 28, 2020

  • This was definitely a splurge but well worth it. I exclusively pumped for 4 months and this freed me. I could do housework, drive, and play with my baby all while pumping. I did have some leakage. Feb 27, 2020

  • I don't get the same output as my Spectra, but I love this pump for nighttime pumping, traveling, or just busy days. It does require some troubleshooting to keep suction strong, but so convenient! Feb 22, 2020

  • Although not as powerful as my spectra, this is an amazing option for portable pumping. I mainly use at night when my LO eats off only one side and it automatically stops when full at 5oz. Sep 17, 2019

  • I can do laundry, follow a toddler around, and pump at the same time! So comfortable and convenient and covered by my insurance. Love that it doesn't need expensive bags. Jul 04, 2019
