Different modes is a lifesaver!!!
[[VIDEOID:2503f28f7245c4a1fa841214322eeb3c]] My friend recommended this pump. I really like the ability to change settings depending on my flow. Sometimes I can just stay on the massage or switch to the deep express mode. You may know the "massage" mode as the let down phase in other pumps. The cool thing about this pump is that it has a setting where its both of these!!! The massage (or let down) with the deep express mode. I saw from another reviewer you can use Lansinoh bottles too ❤<br /><br />In the video I show L1 vs L5 vs L9. If you're like me, I can't go straight to express mode, nothing will come out or it will but then my flow stops. Leading me to think my breast are empty. If you change to the massage mode then viola milk is flowing again. However, staying on the massage mode will take forever to empty my breast so the combo has been amazing. You can also adjust how long its in massage mode to when it does deep suction. L1 is the longest time for massage with an expression/ pull at the end. L9 is the shortest time for massage then express.<br /><br />You can play with the settings to see what works for you. I like to keep a mirror handy so I can see when my flow stops then I can change different modes to get the milk out. Sometime one 30 min session is not enough (for me personally, everyone is different) and I need to go back for round two on the same breast.<br /><br />What I dislike about this pump is there is no where on the sellers store to purchase spare parts. They give you an extra duckbill valve but thats it. Also I noticed milk sometimes gets trapped on the top cup thing (where I'm pointing my finger in the picture). I just have to carefully pull the pump off while I'm aiming it over the bottle to save those few milliliters of milk. Lastly, the battery life kind of sucks. I noticed I get two 30 min sessions when its green/full. Then two 30 min sessions for orange and the same for red. Using it on both breast translates to just 3 pumping sessions. However, you could still pump when it's plugged in charging.
