Thanks for posting this review! I love your videos. Thank you for not completing your sentence about people having darker skin possibly not being as sensitive. It would reinforce the notion that people with darker complexion don’t feel or have as much pain as someone fairer skinned… which has been a problem in American society. I have very sensitive nipples and I prefer lower suction. I am really thinking about giving this pump a try. Thanks again for the review.

Sometimes I do misspeak, but I’m glad I caught it here! Anyone can fit anywhere on the spectrum for sure so thank you for reinforcing that!

I have both the Elvie Stride and regular Elvie pump. I haven't had good success with the Stride. I normally pump around 5-6 oz a session on the regular Elvie and my Motif pump, but with the Stride I would be lucky to get 2-3 oz. The suction is not great for me and I used the Stride including cleaning the parts by the book

@ecoperiods4972 2 жыл бұрын

i have been using this pump for 2 months & i’m obsessed with it! i pump wayyy more with this than i ever could with my spectra & it’s super easy to clean. i also just wanted to point out that you’re actually supposed to open the flap over the pour spout when you’re putting the pump on because you can look down into it & see exactly where your nipple is to ensure that it’s in the right spot.

Thank you so much for this. I’m on baby #2 and I’ve been researching and the main complaint on the Elvie is the suction, so you explaining max suction and the “feel” meant a lot. I had the Motif with first baby and my nipples definitely shed a lot and it hurt. Buying this through insurance, $135 for me, maybe it will work better for me!

My last pregnancy I had issues with clog ducts until I switched to the hospital grade Medela pump.. I just rented it from the hospital. I felt the pull from my armpit to my nipple. And really felt like I was finally emptying properly. Any suggestions on a similar pump but wearable/portable as this will be used at home with 4 other young children and then at work as a nurse! TYA! Great review!

So I’m expecting my second baby and I wasn’t successful with pumping with my first. I didn’t like that tugging ripping feeling and so this review appeals to me. However, I’m super worried that I should just go with the spectra model everyone else suggest because what if I need a higher suction? It always felt like my old one only ever got surface milk and nothing else so I still felt full. Online this pump says it get 270 but you said you average around 230 is that because of the tubes like you mentioned?

@krystalfernandez7200 2 жыл бұрын

I had a traditional pump the last time I had a baby which is about 6-7 years ago, TMI I had an issue with my milk not going into the tube for collection on one of my sides- so it would pump and then leak out of the flange- do you think with the suction not being super strong that I may have the same issue? I like the idea that it’s more gentle and quiet as I am a realtor on the go. Thanks! Loved the video!

I would love to know wether you think these cups get better milk output compared to other wearable cups if you pair them with another pump other than the Elvie one. Because it’s just tubing right so technically you could just buy the cup parts and then attach it to any breast pump. Am I right in thinking that?

I have been looking at this pump as well as the pumpables genie advanced. I feel like I’d prefer the cups over the flanges but the pumpables pump better. The pumpables flanges do intrigue me! I feel like I have sensitive skin. Can the two systems be combined to use the cups and pumpables pump? Or is there a better cup option to pair with the pumpables? Baby # 3 and I tried the medela with my first and hated it and had a difficult time overall. Second child also difficult. Did better with the spectra pump but had a lot of issues with mastitis and eventually called it quits. I’ve never produced much milk. Trying to find the right pump this time around but am not able to keep purchasing different pumps. Thank you for any advice you have to offer!!

@amandajonestheodorson3639 2 жыл бұрын

A lot of systems can be “hacked” to combine different motors with collectors, so if you have a certain combo in mind, just google the two things ie “pumpables pump ans elvie stride hack” and see what comes up! Sometimes you may have to buy cheap replacement parts on amazon to make it work, but lots of info out there if you want to try something else :-)

Going to be a FTM and I’m so excited to be able to have supply for my son- I’m not sure if I should go with the motif, or the elvie stride.

@ArryetLove 2 жыл бұрын

Hi mama! I used the Motif Luna with my first baby girl in 2021. Now I’m on baby #2 and I am looking for something different. That pump was way too tough for me. Granted, it had different modes but as a FTM it was just a LOT! I personally wish I knew about this one before because it would have been more down my alley based on the reviews. I think you should give the Elvie Stride a try, I am this time for sure! Let me know what you decide and congrats!💙

I watched another video where you were comparing the Stride with the original and some Willow options (don’t know which was the older video at the moment) and you mentioned that if you were planning on pumping frequently, you wouldn’t get the Stride. Is that still the case? I guess I need to go figure out which video was older.

I only meant that skin with very little melanin can be quite sensitive. Of course there is a wide range of sensations for everyone. No offence was intended and I have since tried to find a better way to phrase this consideration. Thanks for your feedback!

@nagitydeng5778 2 жыл бұрын

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding your skin example. "If you have fairer skin, your skin is more sensitive" are you implying that darker women don't have sensitive skin and have a higher pain tolerance? because that would imply a medical bias.

Skin sensitivity may be best defined as self-reported intolerance to application of skincare products. It is commonly believed that individuals with darker skin are generally less sensitive, while those lighter skin are more sensitive. However, there is little objective data correlating sensitivity with skin type or with objective measures of sensitivity. (This is an opinion. I have darker skin & my skin is very sensitive. This was a bad choice in reference. & a very dumb statement overall) but that’s my opinion 😅
