Wearable or hospital grade pump?

Wondering whether to buy a hospital grade or wearable breast pump or both? We recommend buying a hospital grade breast pump for expressing more milk in less time, especially in the comfort of your home. Having a pair of wearables in addition is great for hands free top ups on the go.

Wearable breast pump pros:

- Discreetly hides inside clothing for hands free on-the-go pumping

- No tubing means less to carry, offering ultimate mobility

- Lightweight at only 260g

Wearable breast pump cons:

- Less powerful than our hospital grade pump, meaning you will pump less over a given period. if your supply is limited, we recommend choosing a hospital grade pump over a wearable

- Milk must be transferred to a bottle post pumping which is less less convenient than being able to pump straight into the bottle

Hospital grade pump pros:

- Hospital grade vacuum suction strength up to 270mmHg on each side means more milk in less time

- 3 soft silicone cup sizes included to ensure a comfortable fit out of the box

- Agile expression & stimulation modes to perfectly tune to your body

- Wide-flange, one-piece silicone shields for greater comfort and hygiene

Hospital grade pump cons:

- Chords connecting to the unit means can't be hidden inside your bra

There is a tradeoff between discreteness that the wearable offers and the power and comfort that the hospital grade offers. We offer both in the above bundle as we believe having a hospital grade pump & two wearables is optimal for your pumping journey.
