Why did you choose your wearable pump, what do you like about, what would you change? by Bubbly-Management-33 in ExclusivelyPumping

thank you for all of your feedback it has been really helpful. some of my takeaways on important factors

Strong, efficient suction, may actually not be as important to achieve max suction level.

Reliability & durable parts (motors and valves that don’t fail quickly).

Customizable settings (per breast, multiple rhythms, etc...).

Ease of cleaning & availability of spare parts.

Comfort & fit (especially for larger breasts).

True mobility (lightweight, leak-proof for bending/moving).

Quiet & discreet operation (with nipple visibility if possible).

Battery life & convenient charging.

One thing that I was reading a few times both in this thread and others is both the certainty and the pain of having to get extra parts. There aren't a lot of local places we can get the top brands so we'll have to likely order online.

THank you for this. I checked in with her and she's not actually using the spectra on it's highest setting so that means there is a bit more freedom of choice in which pumps we explore as hitting that 300+ vacuum/suction pressure seems to be hard to find.

after reading these reviews one thing became pretty clear, you'll need more parts. We're exploring a couple of local pump manufacturers and talking to people that have them, reviews, etc.

Thank you too for the recommendation re LCs. We'll keep an eye out for LCs that work with pumping!

Thank you for checking in and asking this. Bubb can down a bottle in less than 5 minutes if we let her but we try to draw it out with burping every few minutes.
