Willow or Elvie breast pump ??

Question

Has any bought or used these pumps? 
I have a Medela pump but I am switching positions at my job and pumping is going to be difficult. I was also thinking it may be easier to be hands free completely with a toddler and newborn at home. 
I was hoping one of these pumps were discreet enough to pump at work without anyone really noticing lol

Answer

I had a really hard time producing with my first, so I decided not to splurge even though I'd love to try either. Instead I'm going with the Freemie. We'll see how that goes.

Answer

Willow is great. Makes you look busty but I worked with mine on all the time (in an operating room). Bags are kind of expensive but don’t leak no matter what you are doing, which is a major benefit over Elvie.

Answer

I have the willow and love it. It does make you look bustier but it’s worth the ability of multitasking if you use the bags, the containers are not leak proof just more conveniente price wise. They are quite somewhat, I work in an office and if someone sat close they could hear the machine working away lol.

Answer

I’ll be getting the Elvie! This is my third baby and they’re all 3 and under so it’ll be helpful for me. I went based off of what insurance covers most of and they offered me way less down than Willow did! I also like not having to buy bags since I already have some freezer bags stocked up from my other pregnancies.

Answer

I recommend watching some YouTube videos comparing them! I’m going with the Elvie after watching videos by mama shark (I think that was her name?). They are very similar but also have some very different pros and cons. I went with Elvie because it’s sleeker and less noticeable when you wear it, it’s quieter, less money down the line (willow you have to buy your nipple size if the stock one doesn’t fit you, you have to buy the bags and the back case to use bags separately, and it only comes with one charger). Willow does allow you to pump laying down if you use the bags, Elvie you have to be upright or it will leak.

Answer

My best friend had the willow and honestly, never knew she was pumping. She looked bustier, but that’s all. I plan to get it too.

Answer

I am getting the willow just because I heard of a leaking problems with Elvie while laying down lol.. willow also has a stronger suction pull and I want that

Answer

I used elvie and I actually really liked it. Can use your registry completion discount to get it (or willow) cheaper. It’s pretty quiet unless where you work is super quiet I suppose. My coworkers didn’t know when I was using it and just wore a light jacket over the top

Answer

Been trying to do research on this as well.  This is my third baby all under 4 so will be busy also! 
Not sure yet am interested also in suction power between the two. Seems to be personal choice. 
I use the kiinde system for bags and bottle feeding which definitely allowed me to keep exclusively pumping far longer than I would have had the wherewithal to do otherwise.

Answer

Willow you have to use their breast milk bags, and elvie you can pour it into your own if that helps. They both are fairly expensive, there is a cheaper hands free option called Freemie. Most people recommend the Freemie Independence.  https://freemie.com/products/freemie-independence-mobile-hands-free-breast-pump-limited-time-offer.
