Pumping moms (or moms-to-be planning on doing so soon), you’ll want to take advantage of the post-Prime Day sale on the rarely discounted Elvie Pump.
The Elvie Pump is $155 off on Amazon right now, because we’re not sure how long this post-Prime Day deal will last. The double bomb is $394 (marked down from $549), but you can also get the single bomb for $225 (marked down from $300).
Breast pumps are generally not the sexiest new baby purchase. But if ever there was a cool breast pump, it was the Elvie. One of the most popular wireless and wearable pumps on the market, Elvie earned a top spot on our list of best breast pumps, and for good reason. Small and discreet, it can be worn inside your bra and is very quiet, making it easier for moms to pump wherever they are.
Not to mention, Elvie is seriously high-tech. After each session, your data syncs with the Elvie app. Over time, you’ll gain insights like how much milk you let out at different times of the day, how long it usually takes you to pump, and how fast or slow your flow is.
Of course, even with the discount, the Elvie is more expensive than many other breast pumps on the market. But if you plan to pump often, and if you envision some or all of those sessions taking place somewhere other than your couch, an Elvie pump might be worth the investment.
During my nine month nursing journey, I was fortunate to have both Elvie and a Spectra S2 (the latter is covered by my insurance). While the Spectra S2 is incredible — it’s a hospital-grade bomb, and very good — it’s big, bulky and about the size of a bowling ball. The Elvie has been my go-to whenever I need to pump outside the house (or around the house while multitasking).
While I found that I had to pump a bit more to produce the same amount of Spectra, I felt it was worth it to go completely wireless. Recharging the pump with a USB cord is also very useful; I liked being able to quickly power up my Elvie from a computer instead of a wall outlet.
Because the expressed milk is collected in a discreet container built into the bottom of the pump (compared to traditional electric pumps, which are collected in an external bottle, and even some other wearable pumps, which are collected in a hanging plastic bag), Elvie doesn’t need it. to be used with a nursing bra and truly hands-free. And since half the challenge for exclusively pumping moms is finding the time and a quiet place to pump, I imagine the Elvie will also make it easier to express while taking care of your kids, cooking dinner or, you know, doing any of that stuff. asking not to plug you into the wall.
