1. Philips AVENT Double

Women who have had bad past pumping experiences may want to check out the Philips AVENT pump which is gentler on the breasts than some other brands.

2. Freemie Freedom

Moms who want to keep their hands free to pay bills, talk on the phone or flip through a magazine may want to consider buying the Freemie Freedom, which uses concealable breast milk containers that can fit inside bras.

3. Lansinoh Double Electric

Moms who hate to clean tubing on breast pumps might like the Lansinoh breast pump which uses a closed system that won’t allow milk to leak into the tubing.

4. Medela Pump In Style

Moms who want to avoid longer pumping sessions may prefer the more aggressive suction of the Pump In Style. It can express milk in mere minutes.

5. Medela Pump In Style

Moms who want a pump that is so quiet they’ll forget it is on – other than the constant squeezing of their breasts, of course ­– might want to consider the Spectra S2.

For the price, Ameda Purely Yours offers moms a hygienic way to pump their breast milk. That’s important because keeping our babies safe is our number one priority as moms.

The pump is light, portable, easy to clean and it comes with the carry-all tote that will keep all the pieces together.

• This is a closed system pump, and it uses the HygieniKit Milk Collection System
• Large easy-to-use dials
• Can be used for double pumping or single pumping
• You can control the pumping phases, suction and speed
• Two built-in bottle holders
• Portable and lightweight
• Every part that touches your breast milk is BPA free and DEHP free.
• Comes with a small cooler and ice packs
• You can use the pump with an included power cord or with 6 AA batteries.
• The pump can also be used with a car adapter that can be bought separately.

The Purely Yours Ultra pump is simple to figure out how to operate. Although it comes with instructions, you shouldn’t have any trouble figuring out which parts go where.

The built-in bottle holders are a great feature because the bottles used with some pumps are easy to tip over and spill. There’s nothing more frustrating than going through the time, expense and trouble of pumping, and watching all your hard work vanish right before your eyes when your collection bottle accidentally gets knocked over.

Although this pump is a little loud so it might not be a great option for pumping breast milk at work, it is extremely portable.

Because it is so lightweight and easy to pack up, it’s a good option for taking with you on vacations or weekend getaways.

If you choose to pump at work and you don’t like to draw attention to yourself, you might want to invest in the car adapter so you can express without having the telltale noise of the pump let everyone know what you are doing.

The system employs a silicone diaphragm which stops milk from flowing into the pump’s tubing. That means there is less chance your milk will become contaminated during future pumping sessions.

The HygieniKit has been approved by the FDA as a way to keep breast milk separated from outside air. It has Proven Airlock Protection to keep your breast milk safe and untainted.

The closed system is a big perk because it amps up the safety of your breast milk for your baby. Plus, it makes cleaning the pump easier because fewer parts touch your breast milk – unlike some other pumps where milk sometimes flows back into the tubing. Less cleaning time makes for a happier mom.

1. Medela Pump In Style

If you plan to be pumping for a long time to come, you might like that this pump doesn’t seem to lose suction over time.

2. Spectra S2

If you want to pump milk at work and on the go, you may prefer the S2 because it is quieter.

3. NUK Expressive

If you’re on a tighter budget, this might be the right pump for you as it is a lot more affordable.

4. Freemie Freedom

If you need to pump at work or in public, you might like the fact that this pump allows you to express milk while fully clothed.

5. First Years Quiet Expressions

If you are looking for something cheaper, this pump is a good choice.

Double electric breast pumps that provide enough suction to get the job done can be expensive. If you don’t have enough suction while breastfeeding, you won’t express as much milk and it might eventually cause you to kick breastfeeding to the curb.

The Purely Yours Ultra offers the suction you need at a middle-of-the-road price.

The closed system ensures you won’t spend all your free moments during the day taking your breast pump apart and cleaning it.
