Is the Elvie worth it?

Question

I’m looking to go hands free with my pumping and have read lots of good things about the Elvie. Two questions:
1) for those who have it would you recommend it?
2) for those who pump more than 5 oz a side how do you handle this?
Thanks!

Answer

I have it and am a bit fan. I love that I can pump around other people if need be. Never had a problem with the suction. I get 3-5 ounces per session.

Answer

I don’t know much about different pumps but I thought you could use a Nandi bra with holes to make the pumps into hands free?

Answer

I’ve only heard bad things, low suction and small collection volume being the main two

Answer

I hated it.  With both freemie and Elvie, I got about half the output I got with my medela pis.  It works for supplementing pumping but doesn’t replace it
