Manual Breast Pump

Opinions needed on maunual breast pumps! Which are best??

Medela. All others suck

Mandela harmony! Love it! It works great. I used it while I waited for my electric one to get delivered! I got 2 full 2 oz bottles with it!

I have this one...and I honestly hate it, but it was free so I deal with it. I would get one that you don't have use both hands to pump...like one that has the squeeze grip thing. It seems like it would work better. This one is hard to get comfortable with to use since I have to extend my arm all the way out  

I have an Advent that works for me but I only pump the odd bottle, wouldn't want it if I were to be pumping a lot.

Yeah...it sucks lol It can attach to a motor, and it was at the hospital...but without the motor it is hell!

...though a good arm work out ;) haha

I preferred my Advent over my electric medela

I have that one too. I actually have two. One has an attachment to be a double manual. I'd need one of those bras to double pimp with it though cause it does take two hands. But it works better than my electric Medela. I love it except it is hard to do. I'd like to have the harmony but this one works well.

I either want to get the motor for mine (since I have the tubing for it) or see if I can convince SO to let me get one that I just squeeze the handle on. I hate using the pump I have

Manual advent?

Quoting BackwoodsBumpkinn♥:" Manual advent?"

Yes. It gave me better control and suction IMO

I have a Medela double electric from my Insurance and it gets half as much as the hand pump. I got one with my Medela double electric and one with my hospital grade kit in the nicu. I didn't know what it was at first. I was a huge dummy and it had the double pump attachment so I assumed I had to use tubes. I made it waaaaaay harder than it had to be. Then when I got this electric pump and another one came with it it didn't have the double attachment and I was like "omg I'm an Effin idiot!" Haha
