Amazing pump!
"So sleek and easy to use! The app is an amazing addition although the tracking of how much you catch is not accurate. The pump is quiet and discreet - I took it off and people around me didn’t even know I had something on! Lifesaver."

"So sleek and easy to use! The app is an amazing addition although the tracking of how much you catch is not accurate. The pump is quiet and discreet - I took it off and people around me didn’t even know I had something on! Lifesaver."
"Great pump, easy to use and really discreet. Family havent been really surprised to find out I’ve been pumping while chatting to them as you can’t hear it - and under baggy clothes you can’t see it! Picture to show - it’s easy to pump off the other breast while feeding baby!"
"Really enjoying my experience so far. Battery life suits my routine. (Pumping once/twice a day). The suction is good - variety of options. Size is comfortable to wear in the bra. Like using the app. Useful to see a volume tracker - although not always accurate, but is possible to amend volume at the end of the pump session. Reduction in star is purely for price tag. But I do appreciate the R&D that goes into such a product and the whole experience."
"Researched a number of wearables ahead of purchase. Went for the Elvie over other wearable pumps on the basis that the Elvie was the lightest and quietest, and the app is a useful addition. The reason for four instead of five stars is the price really. But I appreciate a lot of R&D has gone into development of the product and experience. I am still learning my schedule with the pump; but on the whole I am happy. There is some drop out of connectivity but this is likely with any type of BT device. The volume sensor isn’t always accurate; but this could be due to moving around - but it is easy enough to vary the volume at the end of the session on the app."
"These pumps have transformed my life. I went from sobbing strapped to a pump all day to feeling totally free and able to get on with being a new mum. Worth every penny even though they are a big investment."
"I use this pump all the time. Pros: - easy to clean - can do it in 5 minutes. - portable - I love being able to pump on my way home from a few hours from my baby. Or on a walk with the pram. - quiet Cons: - if you’re looking for something people won’t notice, this might not be it. It’s pretty large in the bra, but that was not important to me. - took me a bit to figure out the suction and settings but I eventually got it. - the Bluetooth connection to the app is hit or miss but you can use the buttons on the pump."
"I have purchased a Medela pump which did not work for me, was almost desperate that will not be able to pump at all. The Elvie is user-friendly and efficient, it literally saved me! Definitely value for money, light and allows for other parallel activities. All in all, gives a sense of freedom and normality!"
"Portable, and really easy to use, the only thing is I wish it came with the smaller size nipple instead of having to buy it separately."
"…but unfortunately didn’t work for me. Not sure if it was due to fast letdown or mechanical fault. Disappointed as so many people rave about it. I had much more success with a basic £20 hand pump from Medela. Excellent customer service from NBS as always and fast refund."
"Great under a baggy top, people do not realise you’re pumping - everyone is surprised if I tell them! Very quiet suction. Only downside is the app connection hasn’t really worked well for me, but that doesn’t affect the pump’s function at all - just means it doesn’t measure/time my output"
