TSRETE Hands-Free Electric Breast Pump - 24mm Flange, 2 Modes & 9 Suction Levels with LCD Display, Rechargeable Double Wearable Pump for Nursing Moms (Pink) | Perfect for Work, Travel & On-the-Go Pumping

This pump is one of the most helpful items I have ever purchased on Amazon. It has literally been lifechanging!!! If you have not yet tried a wearable pump let me just tell you- you are in for a really big surprise! Before I tell you about my experience with this pump, I just want to make it clear that i have not tried other wearable pumps, so I can't compare to others. I have used in the past the medela pump-in-style (old model), I have tried the spectra (didn't like it), and the medela hospital grade. I have experienced extreme discomfort and nipple damage while using other pumps. Pumping was always just a painful inconvenient evil, that I had to endure if I wanted to have milk for my baby.I heard about the idea of wearable pumps and did some research on Amazon. I didn't want to spend too much because I didn't know if it would work out for me. From the options that looked good I decided on this one. I think lots of these pumps are knock offs from other brands so I didn't know if it would be any good, but like I said, i didn't want to spend too much.Oh my gosh! This thing is just utterly amazing! My life is changed. I wake up, pop it on and go about my day! I literally prep briefcases, make and feed breakfast, dress my toddler, wash dishes, and even drive my kids to school while I pump. Not only is this thing completely hands free and small, it makes very minimal noise (I sincerely don't understand the other reviewers who said its loud. I literally open the door with it on without ppl realizing), it is also BY FAR THE MOST COMFORTABLE PUMP I have ever used! Please believe me when I say I often get busy doing things and forget that I am pumping! That is how comfortable it is.Is it also significantly easier to clean than any other pump I've used in the past. There are no nooks or crannies that can't be reached when cleaning and that eventually get moldy (I'm looking at you, Medela! ?). Everything comes apart and goes together easily.Milk output- I asked my lactation consultant why she didn't tell ppl about this and her answer was "some ppl get less milk with it". (Which, um, ok even if this is true, what if you can actually pump more often cuz it's so so so easy and painless? Isn't it worth it? How many ppl stop pumping cuz they just can't deal with the whole hassle anymore?) But either way, in my experience I'm getting just as much (or more) than i have with the other pumps. I have a nice supply, and I can easily get 3-4 oz per side.The battery life is fine, I charge it about every few days. It blinks when low so you know to charge.Things to be aware of:Some reviewers complained that their pump broke. I actually did have this experience. Both pumps worked initially but one of them seems to have broken after just a few weeks of use. It actually appears to be working but just doesn't actually pump any milk. I can't figure out what's wrong with it. It's upsetting but the other one still works and I only pump one side at a time so it's fine for me.Some reviews talked about milk leaking. I will say it's important to put all the parts together fully, sometimes I accidentally don't click the silicon on all the way and that can cause leaking (see picture). It's also important- to maximize your milk output, make sure the pump receptacle is centered over your nipple. I also recommend checking a minute or two in, to make sure your placement is good and you're getting milk. It's so easy to just pop it on and forget about it (really!), so i really try to check.One other thing- it's very hard to tell how much milk you got due to the shape of the container. I pour it from there into a bottle with measurements before I bag it for the freezer, so I can know how much it is.I paid 70 for this pump, and even if it doesn't last more than a few months and I have to buy another one, I will. This has enabled me to have milk in my baby for when I'm at work or when I need to leave him by my mom for a few hours. Pumping has become completely stress free!!
