Simplisse Manual Breastfeeding Companion

I've tried this breast pump a few times now and it doesn't seem to work at all. I was so excited by the description I found here and other places about what a great product it was. However, I was never even able to get even one ounce of milk. Waste of my forty bucks! I do not recommend.

I bought this for just occaional use to build up a supply in my freezer. When I first started to use it, it was comfortable and I had no problems (nothing to compare it to though) this is why I gave it 2 stars. After about the 5th time I used it, it began to loose it's suction and before I knew it, I was getting less than half an ounce. So I had to buy another one way too soon. I did not get my money's worth. Plus it is soooo annoying to clean it, it has so many little parts that it's just a useless hassle. I needed the book to see it's reassemble steps once or twice. I do not recomend this. I bought the Medela Single Deluxe, it's electric, so far so good (only 2 peices to take apart).

I love this pump. After using several other pumps, and wasting a lot of money, I decided to buy this pump. All the other pumps would pull and tug, and leave my nipples bruised and sore. Then when I would go to nurse my son, they would be so tender I would swear to never use that pump again. This pump is so comfortable, and I barely even notice any suction. It actually just compresses around the nipple, and doesn't pull on the nipple like many other pumps. It takes me just 5 minutes to pull 4 ounces of milk from both breasts total, and my son is only a month old. (I was only able to get 1 ounce from both breasts total from the Avent pump.) It is easy to assemble, and easy to clean. If anyone thinks this product is hard to take apart or put together, they just didn't bother to read the instructions. Only downside is that it is a little hard on the hand while pumping.
I am so happy I purchased this product. Without it, I would not be able to store up my breast milk for when I go...Read more
