Tommee Tippee Made for Me Single Manual Breast Pump

I really like this pump. I was surprised at how much milk I was able to express in such short periods of time. It’s the first one I’ve used so can’t compare to any other brands but I am going to purchase the double electric one based on the manual being good enough.There’s a number of parts which easily come apart and fit together so it’s easy to clean and sterilise.Water gets stuck in the silicone funnel which can be a little annoying to clear out / dry but other than that it’s spot on.

Awful pump

This breast pump is awful. As an experienced breast feeder who has done both to the boob and expressing can say that this pump is not very good at all. I can see this pump deflating a lot of woman thinking they can not express enough milk when in fact it’s a faulty designed pump. I have used your manual pumps before, this design is rubbish. The pump does not retract wide enough to get a good suction therefore getting very minimal milk each pump. The neck collects milks which then spills everywhere when removing from the breast. The seal around the breast is not flat to the breast allowing air to come in and out which also affects the suction causing less milk to be expressed. The design you had when I breastfed my eldest child 10 years ago was a lot better design. ... MoreThis breast pump is awful.

Comfortable and effective

I received this product for free as a part of the Tommee Tippee Stars program in exchange for my honest review. I was very impressed with this product. After dealing with the “balloon pump” style manual pump I received through insurance, I was extremely skeptical that a manual pump could be easy to use and effective, however this pump far exceeded my expectations! It is easy on your hands (they don’t tired out easily like my other pump), comfortable to hold and use, easy to assemble and surprisingly effective. I found that I could easily express just as much, if not more, milk in the same amount of time that it would take me to use my double electric pump! My only complaint thus far would be that replacement parts are currently only available by contacting customer ... MoreI received this product for free as a part of the Tommee Tippee Stars program in exchange for my honest review.

My only complaint thus far would be that replacement parts are currently only available by contacting customer service and that the silicone cup runs large. I normally use a 19mm flange to pump and this one is significantly larger, making me wonder if I could pump even more efficiently with a smaller size! I have reached out to customer service about this and am currently waiting on a response as to whether or not they are available.

Do not recommend.

Awful pump. Theres like not enough or no suction at all. I would not recommend. extremely annoying and tedious to put together compared to Medela pump. Would definitely recommend medela pump over this one anyday. I don't see how anyone could have a good experience with this pump unless it's the only one they've tried using.

Great manual breat pump!

This manual breast pump is great for mothers like myself who don't need a lot of extra milk, but want some back up milk! The design is so simple, but very effective. It so easy to use. The suction is perfect and very easy to control by squeezing gently. The silicon cup fits so comfortable against my breast. This breast pump is easy to assemble, and easy to take a part to clean also. One of my favorite things about it is that I can use it one-handed with no issues. The most comfortable way to hold in for me is while holding the bottle, I use my index finger to pump. I wish that the color of this was clear so I can see exactly how much milk is coming out. It would also be nice if this came with a bottle stand, so when it's empty it doesn't get top-heavy and fall over. ... MoreThis manual breast pump is great for mothers like myself who don't need a lot of extra milk, but want some back up milk!

That makes it hard if you don't own very many of their bottles for whatever reason. However, this does come with a bottle so if you don't already own one you don't necessarily have to buy another just to use the pump.

Perfect

Have you ended a pumping session and realize that one breast is empty while the other is still partially engorged? Well, this is where tommy tippee's single breast pump comes in to make that a thing of the past. This pump is user friendly- easy to set up, charge it with the USB cable included for about 40 minutes and boom its ready to function. The beauty of the pump is that you can have different settings for each breast which is huge for me. It is better to start on low settings first and i love how it ramps the settings and it allows me to change it depending on my comfort level. It shuts down at 30mins mark and the power last an hour. After use, go ahead and charge it, so its ready for the next session.It comes with a manual that's informative.

This is a portable pump that i prefer over the manual pump as it frees my hand off pumping and I can multitask. It is a pretty set too. I love it.

Portable and rechargeable!

I love that this pump is portable. It is so small and discreet. I currently own another brand pump but I am constantly tied to one location in my pumping sessions. With this pump I am able to walk around and take it places with me. It’s also very light and quiet. Unfortunately, I cannot feel my letdown so I wish this pump was a little more see through at the base of the flange so I can know whether a certain massage is working to produce more milk. Also the battery life is not that long. I used it twice for about an hour in total and the battery was always on the last. But using this as a portable and rechargeable pump I’m not too disappointed in that. I wished this pump came with more flange size options. As the flange that comes in with the packaging is too big ... MoreI love that this pump is portable. It is so small and discreet.

It’s so comfortable. Sometimes I forget I’m even wearing the pump. Overall, this pump is great if you’re looking for a portable, rechargeable, and quiet pump. It gets the job done. I would definitely be using this more as my main pump when I travel and return back to work

Ultimate portability!

The Tommee Tippee Made for Me single electric breast pump provides ultimate portability without having to sacrifice quality.To start, the product is very aesthetically appealing. Compared to competitors, it looks modern and sleek. The colors are beautiful. Assembling the pump is pretty straight forward despite having a few parts. The product comes with a USB charger which allows for on the go use. The LED display is very nice and easy to read. When using the pump, the silicone flange cushion makes such a difference.. it is very comfortable. I have used this product to pump one side while nursing the other, and it truly was more comfortable than my nursing baby. Although I use mine with a Handsfree pump bra, the ergonomic design makes it easy to hold without ... MoreThe Tommee Tippee Made for Me single electric breast pump provides ultimate portability without having to sacrifice quality.To start, the product is very aesthetically appealing.

When using the pump, the silicone flange cushion makes such a difference.. it is very comfortable. I have used this product to pump one side while nursing the other, and it truly was more comfortable than my nursing baby. Although I use mine with a Handsfree pump bra, the ergonomic design makes it easy to hold without putting stress on your hand and wrist. I like that it has one touch button to switch from let down mode to express mode as well as adjusting suction. The pump itself is very small. With the carry loop, I attach it to my clip down bra strap, coupled with a Handsfree bra, allowing for a truly handsfree, portable experience. Even though the pump is small, it is mighty. The let down mode rhythm is unlike any other pump I have used and it is very effective. In expression mode, there are 10 levels of suction. I have only needed to go to level 5 to achieve a comfortable experience with great output. Also, being able to pump directly into a Tommee Tippee bottle is awesome. No need to transfer over.. only if there is extra.Overall, this is a very unique pump with great features. There are very few drawbacks in my opinion. It is a single pump which only allows pumping one breast at a time. However, I find myself using this much more than my double electric because I'm not stuck sitting by a pump or having to worry about carrying around a heavy pump. I hook up my Handsfree bra, strap my pump to my bra and go about my day- whether it be tending to baby, laundry, dishes, cooking a meal etc. When I'm done pumping on one side, I switch to the other. Each woman nurses differently, but I only use one breast at each nursing session, so I have used this to pump the opposite side while nursing on the other. Or, after my first morning nursing session and last of the night, I always pump afterwards to store some milk for when I work. Since baby just nursed one side, I don't need to pump that side, so that's where this pump comes in. All that being said, if Tommee Tippee were to release a double pump version of this, I would absolutely purchase it. The only other drawback, which isnt even that big of an issue, is that I wish there were a lid for the bottle other than a traditional bottle nipple. If I do want to store the milk in the fridge, I would rather have an actual lid vs the bottle nipple. I meant to comment above about battery life. The battery seemed to reach full charge in a reasonable amount of time. I was able to do a 60 min power pump session (alternating 10 min on each breast for 1 hour) and still have battery life left.In conclusion, the tommee tippee made for me single electric breast pump is a small, mighty breast pump with ultimate portability and endless uses. Would definitely recommend.

Used once so far and love it!

I used this for the first time today collecting colostrum and it was so much easier and more efficient than hand expressing!I had been hand expressing for a week or so and was doing pretty well as I was, but kept struggling with juggling the container and spilt it a couple of times. However having this was a game changer. I literally doubled my output and it was SO MUCH EASIER!!!So thankful to have this going forward and can't wait to use again tomorrow.

You get what you pay for

Found this really hard to use - every time I depressed the lever it would pop off it's hinge. It made pumping really difficult and I struggled to get much milk as it didn't sit flush and seal nicely.Bought this one because of the price, but wish I had spent more on something else as it just didn't work well at all.On the plus side, the parts came apart easily and was very easy to clean
