Comments from testers
Ewelina
Compared to other used breast pumps, it is very positive. It is quieter, more efficiently absorbs food in a short time. No need to use batteries. A second funnel in a different size, replaceable, would be useful.
Magdalena
The breast pump is light and handy. Parts are easily assembled and disassembled for cleaning and disinfection. Mobility is a great thing - thanks to the handy module, you can move around with a working breast pump. Previously, I had to be in touch and could move as much as the cable allowed :) The use is comfortable, the material of the rim is pleasant. In the first days of use, I actually extracted more milk than when using the old breast pump.

The breast pump is small and works quietly. It picks up food pretty quickly. Washes well, leaves no stains. Easy to use.
Where to buy
The breast pump is the answer to the individual needs of each mother. The device is comfortable and easy to use. The breast pump has only 4 intuitive buttons, is easy to use and quiet in operation. It will be perfect as an aid in the initiation, development and maintenance of the very important process of lactation - especially thanks to the 2-Phase Expression Technology used, which resembles the natural rhythm of sucking the breast by a child. In practice, this translates into two extraction speeds. What is important for mums - it has a built-in battery that allows you to carry out up to 6 pumping sessions without the need to recharge. The device will be used both in the case of occasional and continuous need to express milk.
