Thread: "What’s your favorite wearable pump?"
I love the new Eufy S1 Pro, though it's my understanding that Elvie pumps are the most quiet (haven't tried one personally). The Eufy has heating to help with let downs (and it just feels nice), a sleek case that charges the pumps between sessions, and it's a smart pump that has several preset cycles to choose from so you don't have to touch it once it's on - just set it and forget it. I like the "natural" cycle which switches between stimulation and expression mode every 5 minutes. If you need to make an adjustment, you can do so from your phone as opposed to reaching into your shirt, unlike a non-smart pump. It comes with multiple different flange inserts, but if you need a size that isn't already in the box, Maymom short inserts also fit. The Eufy consistently empties me as well as my Spectra, which is something I can't say for my Imani 2 wearables, which I tried first. The Imanis aren't bad, just don't always get the same results as my Spectra and Eufy, are bulkier in a bra, and harder to keep in place with the top heavy motor.

Thread: "What’s the strongest wearable pump?"
I went on a 4 day trip and only used my imani 2 pumps. It sent my oversupply into overdrive and now im at my record output of 70+oz a day for 5ppd. Just make sure you have the right size inserts and follow the instructions on assembling your pump parts together

Thread: "What are the best Wearable pumps?!"
I’ve had the best luck this time around with iMani i2 wearables. I manage to get about 80% of what I can get with my primary, so it’s a great hands free option for occasional use. I have also tried out the Baby Buddha, Mom Cozy M5, and an off brand set of wearables that did not work out for me. The BB cause entirely too much residual soreness and the other wearables did not produce a good enough letdown or milk flow to bother using them again. With my 3 year old, I used Elvie’s when I was nursing and stopped responding to them after a few months. I ended up switching back to a spectra.

Thread: "What’s your favorite wearable pump?"
I have the Imani 2 and it’s a gamble if it will fully empty me. I use my spectra s1 the most often. It’s so hard to take those pump breaks but you deserve them! It’s protected in the US now!

Thread: "Recs for best handsfree pump?"
I have the momcozyS12, Imani2, Medela symphony and babybuddha. Momcozy - garbage. -1/10. Barely worked, so many parts to clean, used for a month and then it stopped working. Imani2 - decent. 5/10. Worked well enough in a pinch but wouldn’t be able to use as main pump imo Medela symphony - pretty good. 7/10. This was my main pump for the first three months but obviously very restrictive for movement because it’s not portable. Babybuddha- best so far - 9/10. Mobile, strong af. I use as my main pump now and it’s strong enough that I have to use nipple cream but I might need to reassess my flange size… This is from an under supplier (making max 18oz/day) so I need pumps that really get everything out! If you have over supply you might be good with this the Momcozy… I think it depends on what your goal is/what your current supply is like.

Love my Imani i2… not loud but not discrete!

Thread: "Recs for best handsfree pump?"
I’ve got the Imani i2 and highly recommend it!! I’m EP for twins and use the spectra as my primary and the Imani as my secondary for when I’m out and about or just want to get things done around the house. I get almost an equal amount of output from my Imani and my spectra. Let me know if you have any questions on it and I’m happy to help! ETA: I have a friend that swears by the baby buddha. She uses it as her primary pump.

Thread: "What are the best Wearable pumps?!"
Yeah I think this is the attraction of the V1/2, it's the lighter weight bra experience, that and the fact they're hospital grade pumps. I respond well to the high suction of the spectra. My let down is fast and very early so I'm pretty much done in 10 minutes but I'm not a big supplier despite how many pumps, power or otherwise, I do etc. How do you find all the tubing with the Vs? Do you get yourself tangled sometimes?

Thread: "Which are ur fave portable breast pump???"
I had a Spectra for my wall pump, the Pumpables Genie Advanced for my portable (used with the Spectra parts) and an Imani i2. The Spectra and PGA worked equally well for me, but the PGA was more tolerable because it was portable and I didn't feel so boob-cuffed to the wall. I consistently got about 20% less milk with the Imani wearable, but I think that was a function of the silicone backs on the cups rather than anything with the motors, because I got pieces that let me hook the cups up to my other pumps and got the same 20% reduction in milk. I also tried the Lacteck silicone flanges with my regular pumps and saw a similar reduction in output. (Some people respond better to soft flanges though!) If I were going to do it again, I would probably try the Baby Buddha, just because I hear a lot of good reviews and my body responded well to stronger suction. In the past, they had a reputation for having *really* strong suction, but I think the newer version has lower/more reasonable suction levels. If I wanted a true wearable, I wouldn't do the Imani again. It was a pain to clean and reassemble and (as noted) didn't work as well for me. I'd probably just hook the PGA or BB up to collection cups, probably the Spectra Cara Cups since my body otherwise responded well to Spectra equipment, but I'd also look at other options that are more boob shaped. I've also heard good reviews of the Elvie pump and the Willow Go. New Little Life on YouTube just put out a ton of review videos, so some of those might help you decide.
