what parents are saying
Everyone needs a manual pump! This was worth every penny as I often found myself getting more milk manually than from the electric pump. It is awesome on the go, especially on vacation and flying. (Jun 12, 2019)
Secretly Expecting

While most parents opt for a double-electric, this handy little manual pump can be a lifesaver and is affordable enough to buy in addition to your workhorse pump. It's quiet, discreet, and fits easily in your regular handbag. One weeSpring editor used hers while in her airplane seat, with no one the wiser. It's also helpful for quick relief if you get engorged and it can be used to relieve pressure to help baby to latch. Plus, because it isn't electric, it can be used anywhere (even the shower, which is many moms go-to for treating clogged ducts).
The Catch: If this is the only pump you’re using, your hand will probably tire after a while.
