Tommee Tippee Single Electric Wearable Breast Pump

I was a little worried about trying a wearable breast pump. However I definitely didn’t need to be. Yes it’s bulky, but still fits in the bra, yes you would look a little crazy walking down the street as clearly it’s going to make one side look huge compared to the other. BUT this has changed pumping at work so much. I can pump at my desk and not during my breaks now. It’s pretty quiet (the radio covers the sound easily) so it’s not a distraction for other. It’s taken multitasking to another level and I am all here for it.Comes with a super cute pouch which I pop it in and into my handbag and no one knows any different.

The shape of the milk collection container makes it impossible to fully empty it into another vessel, it needs a puring lip, a small amount of milk always remains in the collection container...wasted. Also the setttings appear to default to Massage mode, I have accidently run several cycles believing it was in Expression mode and then been very disappointed with an empty milk container at the end. The higher Expression modes are pinching and can be quite painful. A good feature is being able to put a teat and lid directly on the collection container to use as a bottle.

I feel like the range of wearable breast pumps on the market is quite vast. The price of this product is about average.I have not used any other electric breast pumps on the market but i found this one to be very bulky. I wish there was more information on the site about the functionality (massage modes, suction settings, configurability etc) so that I would have been better informed before making a purchase.Setting up the pump with the app was quick and easy, however I found the following issues:- the battery life is not exactly what is promised on the site (after just 15 minutes of pumping i have used 23% of my battery)- there is only 1 massage function (wish there were a few more)- suction can be set as part of a preset range (wish that frequency and ... MoreI feel like the range of wearable breast pumps on the market is quite vast.

It makes it very hard to trust that it would stop or alert the user when it is full.- once a session is saved it can no longer be edited (if you saved the amount pumped as the estimated amount provided by the app you can’t go back to update it with the actual amount after checking it)- pumping history is only stored for 5 days and the statistics are very basic.As i mentioned previously, i’ve not used any other electric and wearable pump, so i cannot really say how it compares, but there is plenty of room for improvement. I’m curious to see if future updates will address any of the points i’ve raised.

Pros:It’s built well, holds charge well.The milk collector can be attached to any tommee tippee teat.Easy to clean.App can track how much has been pumped over time (although amount has to be entered manually as the amount the app suggests is always way off.)Cons:It’s VERY heavy and bulky so it’s really cannot be worn while moving, nursing bras aren’t the most supportive anyway so you have to sit to hold it in place so it doesn’t pull your nipple downwards.Suction “feels” strong but I get way less milk in this than the pipetta wearable pump.Difficult to pour milk into a bag without spilling.Very loud.Flange is very ridged and uncomfortable.Uncomfortable to wear.Fiddly to put together.The app hasn’t come in handy and is just a fad to change suction etc. ... MorePros:It’s built well, holds charge well.The milk collector can be attached to any tommee tippee teat.Easy to clean.App can track how much has been pumped over time (although amount has to be entered manually as the amount the app suggests is always way off.)Cons:It’s VERY heavy and bulky so it’s really cannot be worn while moving, nursing bras aren’t the most supportive anyway so you have to sit to hold it in place so it doesn’t pull your nipple downwards.Suction “feels” strong but I get way less milk in this than the pipetta wearable pump.Difficult to pour milk into a bag without spilling.Very loud.Flange is very ridged and uncomfortable.Uncomfortable to wear.Fiddly to put together.The app hasn’t come in handy and is just a fad to change suction etc. it doesn’t accurately measure how much has been pumped.it doesn’t switch off when full as claimed.It does leak.Overall I regret buying it, I wish I’d gone straight for the pipetta or elvie instead.

I recently purchased the Made for Me™ Wearable Breast Pump and unfortunately had a very poor experience with this product. Despite having used other breast pumps before, this model did not bring any milk, and I also encountered issues with the bottle design that prevented all of the milk from being collected. Additionally, the product was quite pricey, which made the overall experience even more disappointing.While I am uncertain if I am able to return this product, I would advise others to consider alternative options before purchasing the Made for Me™ Wearable Breast Pump. Unfortunately, my experience did not meet my expectations and I would not recommend this product to others

It's a nicely designed, well accessorised but not well tought out piece of equipment. It is bulky, I mean huge and heavy. The pumps are powerful but somehow still couldn't produce much milk with them and that's probably due to the flat flanges that are only to attach themselves to the end of the nipple instead of the areola as well. I endured 2 painful sessions only to harvest 20-30ml combined ( my usual sessions with an old medela pump results in 90-100ml combined) and to bruise one of my nipples, it got returned the very same day after that. The milk collector bottle has a very nice shape but thanks to the overdesigned ridges and forms you can't pour out the last 5ml..how annoying - it even has a function to suck and collect every drop when you remove it - because ... MoreIt's a nicely designed, well accessorised but not well tought out piece of equipment.

The teat compatibility and ability to feed straight from the milk collector bottle would be nice tho, shame that the pump wasn't useful for me.

Amazing buy

I bought this pump as I was really struggling to get on with my other electric pump and stopped pumping as it became so time consuming. I thought I’d give this a try and I absolutely love the Tommee Tippee made for me wearable pump, the fact that it can be controlled through the app, it fits in the bra and it comes with a tommee tippee teat attached is amazing. I’m still trying to get the hang of it and it is a bit fiddly to assemble/disassemble, but with practice I’m sure it’ll become easier.

Bulky and not massively effective.

The Made for Me Wearable Breast Pump arrived assembled, with multiple adapters for travelling and a large drawstring bag to store everything in. It was also incredibly easy to put everything back in the Box for storage.In comparison to other wearable pumps I have used, it is incredibly bulky and big, so useful that bra strap extenders are included.The pump uses technology specially designed to mimic your baby’s natural suckling sensation and hold the pump in place which it did. You can feed directly from the pump as you can connect the Tommee Tippee teats to the milk container.Especially useful in dark settings there is a light guide to direct your nipple, though I found neither of the nipple flanges were the right size to form a hood seal and therefore pump ... MoreThe Made for Me Wearable Breast Pump arrived assembled, with multiple adapters for travelling and a large drawstring bag to store everything in.

It was also frustrating that I could only change which side I was pumping from via the app. It is good however to be able to visualise pumping levels without having to check the pump during pumping, and you can use the app to alter pumping strength.Overall I sadly wasn't too impressed with this product.

Overall great hands free pump

I'd definitely say I like this overall - I found the app really helpful and usable, and the pump itself generally good compared to being stuck attached to a pump. The pump itself did feel really quite bulky though and so not discreet. I also found that at time it came unattached - maybe due to my shape or maybe as a result of its bulkiness. That means though that I can't truly do normal things when pumping, or even pick my son up etc as it tended to cause that even more. Overall I'd recommend though.

this product helped me continue breast feeding!

I received this product at 11 months into my breast feeding journey and the journey at this point was becoming HARD. I was struggling to find time to sit down and pump. This changed my life and helped me continue to breast feed longerAt first I found it difficult to set up the pump- I feel the instructions could be a tad easier, but once you get your head around it it’s a dream. The app is an amazing way to track output and pump time. It’s complete cordless so you can walk round the house and go About your day as normal. It is a tad bulky so I wouldn’t personally leave the house with it attached unless desperate because it is very noticeable. Great light feature to help guide the nipple into the right position and the noise output is minimal. My only criticism is ... MoreI received this product at 11 months into my breast feeding journey and the journey at this point was becoming HARD. I was struggling to find time to sit down and pump.
