Thread: "Best hands free pump? Willow, momcozy, or Elvie?"
I have the Elvie (original not the Stride) and there is no way they would be heard on Zoom meetings.

Thread: "Anyone who has an under supply or just enough had success with a wearable pump ? "
I use the original elvie. I get about 27 oz per day. Without the wearable pump, I really think I would quit.

Thread: "Thoughts on willow pump vs elvie? Are they worth it?"
I second this! I'm a massage therapist, I wear my stride in between sessions while I'm changing sheets over and cleaning the room, never had a leak yet and I'm probably a month into using it! Love it!

Thread: "Hands free breast pumps"
I have an Elvie (the original, not the stride) and it’s worked for me through two babies that I BF/pumped for a year each. It emptied me more than my plug in one. The trick is to wear it in a very snug bra.
Both yield similar output for me, tbh. I generally pump around 6-8 oz per pump, and I get around half that with both pumps even with fitted parts. I would say the Elvie is better because it is the quieter one, and the app allows you to change up the pattern which helps with output a bit (the Willow app is kind of useless).

Thread: "Thoughts on willow pump vs elvie? Are they worth it?"
I have the original Elvie and I don’t love it. I feel like it is very hard to align correctly to get a good suction/output. I struggle every time when using it. If you move slightly the suction breaks. I also HATE that it doesn’t hold a charge. I didn’t need to use it everyday (maybe every 2-3 days) and every time I’d grab it, it would be dead. I also have the Spectra and I find it much easier to use and I get better results. It is also battery powered and holds a charge for a very long time!

Thread: "Which wearable breast pump would you recommend as a primary pump? (FTM)"
I have a spectra S1 for at home, and then I have a Momcozy m9 for work. I really like it! My last pregnancy I tried both the Willow go (never heard of the Willow sync, I guess they are similar?) and the original Elvie (not the stride) and I really liked my original elvie. This pregnancy I wanted to try a new pump and went with the m9 and so far I really like it! It seems to be a dupe for the original elvie. I like the app, I like the size, and I feel like I get a similar output to what I get with my spectra.
