Can you return unused pumps?

PiperS · October 2011

I was originally going to wait to buy a pump until I started BFing and saw that it was working out. However the pump I was planning on purchasing is on sale at BRU right now so now I am thinking about going out to get it. Will I be able to return it if it is never used?

Also do any of you have experience with the Lasinoh Electric Breast Pump-- Affinity? The medela PIS is so expensive and this one seemed comparable. TIA

I don't see why not as long as it is still individually wrapped. You can call and ask what is the terms on returning their nursing products.

Thanks ladies! That's what I figured but I just wanted to make sure. It annoys me that breast pumps are so expensive, but I know it's worth it to get a good one.

Well, first I'd say I would get a pump before starting BFing, because you just don't know how it'll all work out! I ended up exclusively pumping for my eldest for 10 months, because he wouldn't latch properly, and if I'd have had to wait to get a pump, we would have ended up bottle feeding.

The reviews on it aren't stellar, are you planning on just pumping at work a couple times a day, and do you have a timeline for breastfeeding? I really think this is one of the things that spending a little more on is worth the money, because the difference in spending 45 minutes pumping versus 20 is...well 25 minutes Worst case, you buy this one now and make up your mind later and return this one unopened within the 45 days.

Yes, if unopened. My pump is in a sealed box, and the seal says you can't return it after you break the seal.

I called them about the PIS....as long as their red sticker seal is not broken you can return it but if it is open it is voided!
