Elvie Double Electric Breast Pump & Elvie Breast Milk Storage Bags

Name: Elvie Double Electric Breast Pump & Elvie Breast Milk Storage Bags
Brand: Elvie

The BubsNest Verdict

The Elvie double electric breast pump is widely praised by UK parents for its compact, wearable design that allows discreet, hands-free pumping. Many find the app-controlled suction and milk tracking features useful. However, the high price tag is a major drawback, and some report compatibility issues with certain nursing bras and clothing. Overall, it's a solid choice for those who can justify the cost, but may not be ideal for all situations.

BubsNest expert analysis of 5 parenting forum discussions

“Praised for its discreet, hands-free design but expensive and not ideal for all”

7.4

Solid Choice

What parents love

Discreet, wearable designParents appreciate the Elvie's small, lightweight, and discrete design that allows for hands-free pumping, unlike traditional bulky pumps.

Convenient app integrationThe companion app allows users to control suction levels and track milk output, which many find helpful for monitoring supply.

Quiet operationSeveral parents note the Elvie is much quieter than other electric pumps, making it easier to use discreetly.

Worth knowing

High costAt over £500 for a double set, the Elvie is significantly more expensive than many other electric breast pumps, which is a major deterrent for some parents.

Compatibility issuesSeveral users report the Elvie does not fit well with certain nursing bras and clothing, limiting its discreet wearability.

Battery life concernsA few parents note the Elvie's battery life is not as long-lasting as claimed, requiring more frequent charging.

Best for

Parents who value discreet, hands-free pumping and can afford the premium price tag
Those with a consistent pumping routine who don't need maximum suction power

May not suit

Parents on a tight budget or who need a pump with very strong suction
Those who require maximum compatibility with nursing bras and clothing

Tips from parents

Before You Buy

Try the Elvie in-store if possible to ensure the sizing and fit work for your body and nursing needs.

Shopping Tip

Check if your health insurance or employer offers any discounts or reimbursement for the Elvie pump.

Getting the Most Out of It

Experiment with different suction levels in the app to find the most comfortable and effective setting for your pumping sessions.

Safety Note

Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper cleaning and sterilisation of the Elvie's parts.
