SPECTRA S1 | How To Use It And Why It's Wonderful

This video is all about the Spectra S1 and S2 Breast Pump. If you are breastfeeding or planning to breastfeed but will be going back to work, I would HIGHLY recommend this pump. It is adjustable, so you can change the suction strength as well as speed. This makes the entire experience way more comfortable than the one I got through my insurance. I did find that it was a bit complicated and overwhelming at first, so I thought I would walk you through how I use mine, and some tips I've picked up along the way!

If you have any questions about how to use the pump or anything else just let me know! Its been my lifesaver for 8 months now

I got this one free through my insurance and I’m loving it so much more than the Medela’s I’ve used in the past.

Wow...Tricare covered the s1 for me! And like other brands including Mandela then others weren't as nice like lansinoh. I picked s1 so i can go cordfree

@amberlilly1899 4 жыл бұрын

My insurance fully covered this one 🤷🏼‍♀️ you can usually also upgrade from the S2 for less then $100. But the S2 is the same pump but corded

My insrance gives me the choice of 2 pumps free (one being medela and the other being a pump I've never heard of) and then they give you an option of "premium pumps" where they have a wide selection and some have a bunch of different extras with it. The most expensive one is the medela pump in style which I don't recommend at all. That one broke on me within the first month of use. Medela is also not a closed system so that's something to look for. I'm getting my pump through insurance with the extras and I'll only pay $110.

Okay I kid you not. I went back to work this week, I’ve been using a Medela from my insurance and I HATE IT. It’s been a terrible week pumping at work. So today I was cleaning my closet and found a spectra s1??? And I’m like, excuse me who are you??? Apparently I got it on Facebook for free but I don’t remember ever getting it... anyway I’m so excited to try it today 🥺

Oh man that thing was hard to take off! It eventually loosens up a bit. But initially I stuck my nail under the top of it and then yanked it down. It definitely seemed odd how difficult it was haha
