Stride Diaphragm - Breast Pump & Breastfeeding Essentials - Accessories for Breastmilk Storage & Pumps - 2 Pack

Needed another set so I didn't have to wash as quickly especially when I need it every 2-3 hours. This pump works pretty well in combination of my Spectra. I love I can get things done and be hands free!

After 4 days of testing the spectra..vs the Elvie Stride (my opinion - take it/leave it and be sure to test what is best for you)..I am a business owner and in front of a computer all day..so this is for the modern working EP.1. Output. Down with the Spectra S1 by about 2 ounces compared to Elvie Stride (contrary to what LC told me would happen indicating the only way I will fully empty is with a spectra s1...wrong.. - - remember to always test out what is best for you). Where is there a breast pump testing subscription...lets go Amazon...get this rolling so we can try out breast pumps since there are only about 100 freaking pumps on the market. Goodness.2. The traditional flanges are not for me…the pumping bra (still can’t get the flanges to be secured in the kindred bravely pumping bra3. Tubing sucks on spectra - I could not walk around it gets caught on everything and moves the flange from the nipple. So many times this happened to me but I also need to sit my butt down but who has time to be sitting for 30 straight minutes in the optimal position when having trad'l flanges on...! 4. Cleaning - bulky parts - Elvie has less and stores in the fridge with the fridge hack better in the elvie plus bag it comes with..throw the cups in there...and then throw them in the fridge - nice!5. Discreet - way better with the Elvie cups..these flanges are frankly in the way! I go out for walks with the elvie stride cups, I am on calls, I just look busty.6. Power/comfortable - Elvie cups are better for me, Flanges are so uncomfortable and I have to haul around that huge power machine7. Mobile/hands free - could not type- awkward with spectra - I forget the elvie cups are on when typing/working.8. Sitting position - have to have shoulders back with spectra otherwise milk seems to back up if not leaning forward frequently..9. Sound - Elvie quieter10. Power…I find it to be the same.. the hub on Elvie Stride is powerful..the optimal settings I have had to do is stimulation for 2 minutes..then expression upped from 5-6 on Elvie and now more milk.11. Charges - more charging on stride, less on Spectra12. How often - Yield is far better now and always going 30 minutes, with 2.75 hour frequency and by 3 hr mark pumping for 30 minutes…at 25 min my yield goes down and it took me a week to get it back!! My last pump has been at 8pm and my next pump is at 7am and can maintain at this volume with the first pump in morning being a “Power Pump”—google for the cycle..total with rests is 60 min. Earlier the pump the better..if I could just get up earlier like I use to…if I started my pump session at 530a wow the milk would be higher and still a good yield a few hours later. It is lower the later you go in the AM since prolactin is dropping..now that all makes sense why I had good milk yields when I was up with Fred at 1am and 5am! 13. beau cushions work great with elvie stride - more comfortable, too!

After using for a few days. I have to say I really like this pump. I have noticed the difference with this. There is a lot more output I have with this pump. I was using a spectra pump prior to this. Easy clean up and Love the hand free of it too. I have a toddler and newborn and this has been a life saver when my toddler is needy. Pricey but buy it. It was way worth it.

The Elvie Stride is an impressive breast pump with modern convenience. It’s ideal for moms seeking a hands-free, app-controlled solution that is both lightweight and discreet. It adds convenience by allowing users to adjust suction levels and monitor pumping sessions. The pump is lightweight and easy to wear. It includes 24mm breast shields only, but there are options to purchase other sizes thar ensures a better fit for comfort and efficiency. A proper fit is crucial for effective pumping and avoiding discomfort. The closed system design prevents milk contamination, ensuring safety for both the user and baby. I was able to put the pump together easily and love that it is BPA-free and dishwasher-safe which simplifies cleaning and maintenance

I’ve had enough!! So much so, I am willing to waste my time with an infant by my side and write a review so other new moms don’t suffer like I have.I have purchased this piece of garbage twice!! Yes twice. Because when it works, which is 10% of the time, it works great. The suction is better than my spectra s1. It’s also convenient to care for a newborn and infant with low profile cups.With that said, only because I’m a complete fool did I continue to purchase parts for this garbage every single time it stopped working on me. As other reviewers have mentioned, those stupid little rubber gaskets fail often, and when they do, milk either falls out or you completely lose suction. The company doesn’t sell the rubber gaskets as replacement parts. You have to purchase the top cup part with it, making the whole thing cost a lot every single time you need to replace them. Talk about a rip off.Sometimes when a part fails mid-pump, suction messes up and milk goes into the tubes, and into the motor. This happened to me at least 4 times now in 6 months. If you’re lucky, you catch it before the pump breaks. I wasn’t so lucky once and had to repurchase the entire pump kit. When I received the new pump, the tubes were kinked, brand new out of the box. I reached out to the company and they sent replacement tubes right away. So their customer service wasn’t bad, at least from my experience.As I sit here for the third day, suffering because I can’t get a decent pump, I decided to finally write a review and warn about this thing. I’m currently using just one cup, one breast at a time, because this thing failed on me once again and I can’t tell which piece of rubber is the culprit. I’ve changed out several parts, waiting on the final piece with the gasket to see if that will fix it. All in all, I’ve spent around $1,000 so far servicing this thing and it’s still breaking on a weekly basis.My supply is suffering, my breasts hurt, I am forced to supplement with formula, and I am at my lowest point in my breastfeeding journey because I chose to buy the wrong hands-free pump. Ladies, save yourself the grief and pain. Do not purchase this pump!!!! Listen to the bad reviews. Stay away!!This company should be ashamed of themselves for knowingly producing a sub-par product and selling it to desperate moms who will do anything and pay anything to make sure their babies are fed. This is a disgusting tactic. A very blatant form of the pink tax, where we get shafted because we’re desperate.
