“Having tried the Elvie I was getting really frustrated that due to the plastic Breast shield it wasn’t staying in place and I was hardly getting any milk out of it due to the shield moving.
This came up on my Instagram as a suggestion and thought for £45 it was worth a try - absolutely worth the try. This pump is an absolute game changer and is SO much better than the Elvie.
Positives are:
-Price - this is a given
-Silicone breast shield means it really does stay in place in your bra (I’ve been wearing the New Look Bralette nursing bras, and the pump fits perfectly and securely - no movement at all) - I’ve been able to pump whilst cooking, cuddling my baby and even on car journeys
- I’ve been getting the same amount of milk as when I tried the Medala swing - it takes me 2 to 3 pumps the get enough Milk for a 4oz bottle
-so easy to take apart, clean and assemble
- I love that it turns off automatically at the end of a pumping session and the little pouring hole to allow you to pour the milk into a bottle or freezer bag
- Quick delivery - I ordered the pump on a Monday night feed and it was with me for Wednesday morning
Only negative - and this is more down to me, than the product itself (so is something to be aware of) is you really need to make sure the shield is securely attached to the cup to collect the milk. There have been a couple of times I haven’t secured the seal as well as I should have and have experienced some leaks
5* Definitely worth the investment!”
“Absolutely love it! Lightweight with good suction, I get as much using it as I do with my standard electric pump. Best bit is being hands free so I can get on with other things and still express, will be ordering a second one when they come back in stock!”
“I’m due my second baby in 3 weeks and already have an 18mo so I wanted to make sure if I needed to pump I would have a convenient hands free pump!
I have tried a fair few pumps in my feeding journey with my first and this pump has all the advantages that my medala and silicon pumps didn’t have and none of the disadvantages!
I also decided that I was going to try and harvest some colostrum. I used the pump function (rather than the massage function) and managed in 5 minutes on both breasts to get 8mLs which is amazing!
The pump is an extremely reasonable price of £45 which when you look at other pumps on the market is amazing! I definitely didn’t think I’d be able to afford a hands free pump!
It is so so easy to use, clean, dissemble and assemble.
I love the fact that it is silicone so it feels a lot more secure on your breast.”
“I’m due to go back to work as a nurse in March and have EBF so far. I’ve been so worried about finding time to pump at work, and going hands-free is a great solution! With the Elvie costing £240, I thought a hands-free pump was well out of my reach... until a friend recommended the Pippeta. I ordered during a late night feed on Monday, and it arrived on Wednesday! So quick. The pump is really comfy to wear and I haven’t had any leaks so far. It’s easy to take apart and piece together and looks nice too, not garish. The only downside is that it isn’t AS effective at getting milk off as my other pump. But it still does a good enough job for me!”
“I've lived the idea of the hands free pump since Elvie released theirs but at £249 for one, I thought it was out of reach.
Then there was Pippeta. At the bargin price of £49 I had to give it a go. In 2 days my life has been revolutionised and I will never go back. The pump itself is small, quiet and discreet, it's easy to disassemble and reassemble and, I'm expressing more than I was with my other electric pump because I can get on with everything else at the same time.
The pump is also very comfortable to wear and so easy to use. It truly is the best breastfeeding purchase I've made!”
“I had wanted an Elvie but just couldn’t justify the price. This is a brilliant alternative! I’ve been waiting at the door for the post each day for it to arrive. Well it hasn’t disappointed. It arrived 20 minutes ago and I’ve already tried it out! The suction is great, I’ve used a fair few different pumps over the past 3 years feeding my daughter and Im now feeding my 13 week old. I can’t wait to keep trying it over the next few weeks to build up a freezer stash! Will be buying another one next week so when we can finally have a night away I can pump easily! Well done! Fab fab product!”
“We’ve been using the pump for just over a day now and it’s great! The suction is good and the pump stays in place whilst going about my daily business. So happy that I bought this, it’s freed up more time for cuddles! Not sure how long the suction will last as I am pumping every few hours, but for the price it’s worth it!”
“This pump’s portability and price are the distinctive points that make it an excellent purchase for the price. I don’t produce much milk and have been pumping since the birth of my first to try to increase levels and this pump got just as much out as the Medela Swing, only I didn’t get an achey arm from holding this in place and I could play with my little one as I pumped!
Only problems are there’s a hole when you disconnect tank from pump and so I spilt all my milk twice as a result, and also initially it didn’t work until I hand expressed into the pump (but since that first session it’s been fine). It’s quieter than the Medela and the usb charging is another superb feature, plus the massage feature is much like the initial stage on this other pump. Really, for the price, I cannot recommend this highly enough.”
