Comments from testers
Katarzyna
Very good product, nice with wireless and you can use it on the go. It effectively freed me from excess milk and did not become inflamed.
Magdalena
Comfortable to use, no pain or milk spillage. It's simply the best I've ever used. Plus, of course, you can pump from both breasts at the same time without leaking. It would be great if it was even quieter, but it's still quieter than the breast pumps I've used before.
Justine
The product meets all the needs related to feeding expressed milk, allows you to express milk in different places thanks to battery operation, is light, handy and effective. Very intuitive assembly and disassembly. Possibility of selecting the funnel, very good fit, possibility of expressing in different positions.
Dominika
The product is very good, only the colors could be changed. Some variety of colors, e.g. powder pink, olive and blue. Other than that, I have no comments.
Where to buy
A double electric breast pump is a device that is easy to use and easy to use, which will be perfect for mothers who need more support in lactation. Thanks to 9 work programs and 2-Phase Expression technology, imitating the baby's sucking rhythm, it helps not only to effectively initiate and develop, but also to maintain lactation during the period of feeding the baby. An important aspect of the device is also a flexible funnel, available in two sizes, which, thanks to the Flex™ technology used, allows for comfortable pumping. Importantly, research confirms that expressing milk from two breasts at the same time allows you to obtain up to 18% of energy-rich milk. For mums, this is a time saver and undoubted support - especially in a situation where the needs of expressing milk are significant and the activity is performed on a regular basis. The built-in, efficient battery is also helpful here, thanks to which the breast pump can also be used outside the home.
