There is no way I would still be breastfeeding without my Elvie. I felt like a dairy cow with a traditional pump, and I hated having to change bras or wear a really uncomfortable bra with a flange holder built in. With the Elvie, I can pop them in and continue working at my computer or doing chores around the house. They are so comfortable that I sometimes forget that I’m wearing them. I was worried that they would not work as well as my traditional pump, but I actually find that I get higher yields with this pump. I also have to hand it to the engineers that worked on the Bluetooth connectivity: this is the only Bluetooth device that I’ve had zero connectivity issues with. I don’t know how they did it, but thank you! I have a few complaints. The volume detection is never accurate for me, and at this point I don’t even use it because I got tired of correcting the amount. I wish that the timer had an automatic shut off feature, and I wish that the pump would let you override the full bottle shut off more easily because it will often say the bottle is full when it is not. I also hate the warnings I get about the pumps losing connection to the app when I intentionally shut them off after a session. Maybe this could be helped by a button in the app for disconnecting and shutting off the pumps. It might be nice to also add a customizable “power pumping” program for increasing supply.

First off I want to say that I absolutely LOVE my Elvie pumps & would've probably given up breastfeeding if I’d had to pump with a traditional pump. With these I can put them on in my bra and continue to live my life (mostly) without being plugged in & that’s amazing! A few minor issues I’ve had with it are that the app is not always very accurate with the amount it thinks has been expressed & I always have to tweak it before I save the session. It’s very easy to do so not a big deal for me. The main issue I’ve had is that sometimes the pump sounds like it’s on and doing its thing, but the suction isn’t right. Now I’ve used these enough to know how to line them up & put them on and it seems to happen randomly so I’m not sure what’s causing the issue. Customer service has been wonderful & sent me some replacement parts but still trying to get to the bottom of the issue. Otherwise, my experience has been great and it’s kept me on the breastfeeding wagon thus far. I would never have put up with the lack of mobility a traditional pump comes with, so these have been a GAME CHANGER! Keep improving your product & keeping up the great customer service because I tell every new mom I know about Elvie and I want them all to have a great experience.

I have used the Elvie for 2 months now and am surprised for the price ($550) that the app has as many problems as it does. Firstly, the pumps disconnect from the app about 50% of the time I use it. When they disconnect, the amount of time I have been pumping disappears and you are unable to save the amount of time or milk you pumped. A secondary and related concern has to do with the fact that I am unable to save a manual pumping entry. This is necessary for when the pumps disconnect. Lastly, you are unable to edit the time pumped on an existing session (if you are lucky enough to finally get one past the pumping stage). This is necessary for when the session fails. To get around these issues I’ll typically start a fake session, finish it, and mark the milk I had pumped so that it will save. Unfortunately, the amount of time will be incorrect (ex: 5 seconds instead of 15 minutes). Regardless, I know my data of total quantity pumped is skewed because I haven’t had the energy to follow this step when I pump in the middle of the night. These features all greatly disappoint me, especially given the hefty price point. I wish I bought a different wearable pump for less than half the price with better reviews. I have this review 2 stars instead of 1 because I do like the dashboard that shows the pumping stats and articles linked for advice.

I purchased these pumps after they were recommended to me by a 2nd time mom. After just having my first, I was looking for a good wearable pump so I could pump and go about my day, now that she’s 2 months old it’s not as convenient being plugged into an outlet. These are lite, quiet (nobody can hear them on zoom calls) and I’ve pumped some of my biggest sessions with Elvie (make sure to measure your flange size). I had another popular wearable before buying these and the motor broke after 6 weeks of use and they were very bulky and noisy. While the Elvies are expensive, especially if you buy 2, the website has some good discount and freebies. I thought the app would be a cool feature - it’s good, not great (connection issues, measurements of milk output aren’t accurate, forgetting sessions, not as personalized as I’d like). Over all I’m very happy with the product and if you can afford it, I recommend giving them a try. I still use my spectra pump before bedtime to make sure I’m empty, but for every other pumping session I use these.
