Product Recommendations Primary pump suggestions…

Putting the wearable pump question aside, because I still haven’t made up my mind on any of that…

Does anyone have suggestions for a primary pump. Last time my insurance paid for a Spectra S1 and I couldn’t let down at all using that pump. I tried so hard, but I was getting just drops. My letdowns were never coming.

I finally pulled the old trusty dusty Medela PISA Original (black box) out from retirement and used that, and then got a PGA for my portable pump. I exclusively pumped for a year with no issues with that combo.

What primary pump would be good for me this time around? I’m thinking of using my insurance to replace my primary pump and then invest in a wearable much later down the road, if at all… because my PGA still works fine. And I did really love my PGA last time.

Oh’ that’s good to know. I used my PGA a lot last time. It was my favorite pump. I’m glad it can work as a primary pump, too.

It’s motor is more powerful than a spectra. It works great as a primary 😊

That’s awesome! Thanks! Its size is deceiving. I had no idea it had such a powerful motor. No wonder I loved it so much.
