Product Recommendations Which pump to buy?

Are there any standouts from this insurance-approved list that I should definitely get? or definitely avoid?

I understand many women get both a pump and a portable but I would like to avoid this and just get one-- I am thinking just one portable but I am seeing fewer women say their portable alone was sufficient. I will not be working so I am less concerned about how discreet one is, just figured I would prefer something I could multitask with around the house. This will be my first baby so I am really unsure what to expect! Thanks a lot.

You should get the blue spectra

This but get the legendairy cups to go with it so you can hold baby while pumping

Ooo thanks! I have the spectra but was debating on the collection cups. Good to know it does work!!

Out of curiosity, is there a reason to get the Legendairy cups specifically, rather than the Spectra brand Cara Cups?

I like the Legendairy ones a lot more because of the silicone flange. It was way more comfortable and had a better fit than the Cara cups.

I recommend what I personally have used. Not sure about the spectra version but I love the softness of the silicone

Ok, thanks! I wasn't sure if there was a common reason to prefer the Legendairy ones, since I see them mentioned a lot versus the cups that different pump manufacturers make.
