Rec. your pump please!

in September 2012 Moms

Sorry to be a PW :)  I have been renting a medela symphony for two months because my insurance was supposed to cover rental cost.  Well, they don't, and at $64/mo I'm thinking I should just buy a pump. 

What do you have, and do you like it?

    A friend recommended this Hygeia over the medela because it is a closed system, i.e. no mold issues.  I don't know if I should trust the brand.

    Madela Pump In Style here too. My OB recommend it and said the madela are the closest to hospital grade quality available in stores

    I have Medela Swing and I like it, but then again, I have nothing to compare it to.

    I also have Medela PISA.  I asked this question before I bought mine and the majority of the responses I got were about this one.  It seems to be a favorite.  I like mine a lot.  No problems, but also nothing to compare to.

    I'm sold.  I heard the messenger type bag sucks because it doesn't close.  So, backpack or tote?  Suggestions?

     I use the Hygeia Enjoye because the LC recommended it for the same reason - closed system.  What I do like about it is it seems to be pretty powerful and my supply has stayed consistent, even if I skip a pumping session.  What I hate about it is that you can't attach any storage parts to it (like with the Medela, you can attach the storage tubes), so I am constantly transferring milk to storage containers and washing the only two milk containers.  It's not a nuisance until you do it several times a day.  I EP so it's a PITA.  Also, it seems bulkier than some of the Medela pumps I've seen.

    This is the one I have, my lactation consultant recommended it.  I EP and it is great.

    tote bag... plenty of room to hold everything and it's discreet.

    I have used an ameda purely yours through 3 babies.

    It also has the completely enclosed hygienic system.

    Ameda purely yours..I just put it in my own tote bag when I have to go somewhere. It's so much cheaper, has a closed system so you don't have to clean tubing huge plus! and the only things you clean are bottles/falanges. All standard bottles connect to it. I pump in Medela 8 oz bottles in the morning but I've also used glass evenflo! Works great, but as a FTM I've got nothing to compare it to.

    Another vote for the Ameda Purely Yours. Mine came with 6 bottles to pump into, I bought the tote bag package, and so far so good.

    I have an Ameda Truly Yours that cost 129 on Amazon. It's the company's cheapest one because it didn't have a bag or extra accessories. The pump is the same for all three of their models. I like it quite a bit. It's small and easy to travel with. I use the larger flanges, so I had to buy those in addition to it. I got a lunchbox that I use as a bag. I'm pretty much an EPer, since I only nurse once a day. It gets tons of use.
