      Thread: "What are the best Wearable pumps?!"

      I feel like this is hard to answer. Because they're so expensive, most people have ever only tried 1 or 2. For me, the Baby Buddha is the best portable pump, but the cups are a PITA to clean. The Willow 3.0 is so far working much better for me than the Elvie OG. But if you get the Elvie from Costco, you can actually return it.

      Thread: "What are the best Wearable pumps?!"

      I've been EPing with my OG Elvie as my primary/only pump for 9 months. I love them though I know that doesn't work for everyone. They are a little fussy to assemble correctly but pretty reliable once you get it right.

      Thread: "Help me pick a breast pump!"

      I feel this to my core. I got more from my Elvies (the OG ones, not the stride) than I did a Spectra because I hated pumping so much with the traditional one. Like I hated the flanges and the pumping bras and the damn tubes getting caught on things if I did walk around with it. I did have to sit and like focus on the fact that I’m trying to feed my sweet baby to get a letdown but then could go about my drive or whatever I was doing in the office after that. So that’s my recommendation haha- Elvie

      Thread: "Pros and Cons of Willow Pumps vs Elvie??"

      I have both. Got the Willow 3.0 and felt like my nipples were being ripped to shreds. They are also huge ( I’m a 34c and I feel as if I look super deformed with them on.) also the flip to empty is a learning curve and I lost so much milk. The pieces are finicky too. Mine started air gulping a few weeks in and getting customer service to send me part replacements was a pain in the neck. Also, for the amount of pain they caused you’d think they’d empty you better. I bought an elvie OG after the above fail. They still don’t empty me completely, but are WAY more comfortable and way less of a learning curve to use. They are also WAY quieter. Also, I look more like Dolly Parton when wearing them instead of a deformed hot mess. The parts are easier to clean even though there are more of them. The app also does a better estimate with collected volume over the Willow. Also, i burnt a hole in my elvie container when it fell in the dishwasher and customer service PROMPTLY sent me a replacement container. I would recommend Elvie over Willow.

      Thread: "Best wearable for low supply?"

      That’s incredible so excited for you!! How often and how long do you pump? Did others work for you?

      Thread: "Best wearable for low supply?"

      I was un undersupplier and managed to increase my supply with the elvie og. I made a post about this. I now have a slight oversupply.

      I have been using my OG elvies only and have increased my supply!
