Elvie Stride Plus App-Controlled Breast Pump (Open Box)

I give this pump 5-stars mostly for the pump strength. For a wearable it’s very powerful. Probably the same if not better than my Double Electric portable Baby Buddha 2.0 pump (this one is not as travel friendly and not a wearable). The Elvie Plus is 1) comfortable, 2) doesn’t spill when I bend down, 3) easy to clean (be gentle when pulling parts apart so that you can gather remaining milk that trickles after pouring from the top), 4) electronic base is easy to use, 5) BAG is great for traveling- fits 3 bottles + 1 bag of breastmilk w/ ice pack which keeps milk very cold; also squeezed my Medela manual pump in there too on top. *** Make sure that when you assemble the suction caps onto each pod that the tube isn’t pinched. That happened to me the first time and I didn’t notice until 10 mins into the pump. *** comes with size 24 and 28mm flanges. If you have smaller nipples like mine are 17mm, buy the Maymom inserts (see pic). Same color and material as Elvie. *** Double check that your nipple is placed properly inside the hole and that you see the milk collecting. (You might have to open the pour spout to see it or slightly tilt your body to the side to see it through the clear wall). There have been a couple times I thought it was pulling my nipple straight but it wasn’t. *** This will be the case with most/all wearables but if you have a big boobs (mine are C/D prior to breastfeeding), then it will look huge under a shirt so might need to size up shirt or wear a loose fit. At the airport I drape my breastfeeding coverup shaw over me. Just a couple hiccups but once you get it down it’s great!
