Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between manual and electric pumps?
- Manual pumps are operated by hand, quiet and inexpensive, suiting occasional use. Electric pumps power the suction and cycle automatically, expressing faster and suiting regular or daily pumping.
- Is a double pump worth it?
- Double pumps express both sides at once, roughly halving session time, which helps those pumping frequently or returning to work. Single pumps are cheaper and adequate for occasional expressing.
- Why does flange or shield size matter?
- A correctly sized flange fits the nipple comfortably and helps milk flow, while a poor fit can cause discomfort or reduce output. Many pumps offer several sizes or replacement shields.
