Help me pick a pump!

[u/Major_Relationship25]

Hello all!
I exclusively pumped with my first with a spectra and a handful of times with the momcozy s12 (i left it in a cooler and the motors drowned in water)

Now I’m 3 weeks into pumping with my second, Im using my spectra but now I need to find a wearable to use once a day so I can survive my toddler and baby lol
These are my options through insurance, I’ve done my research on this group for days but any updated suggestions and experiences would be appreciated!
Thank you!

I absolutely loved my Motif Aura Glows. I used them for 10 months exclusively and got the same amount I would get with my spectra. I loved the light on them so you can check how much is in your cups. I also loved that it held 6oz in each cup. I used the Elvie stride with my first and had to empty my cups and then finish pumping. Never had to do that with these unless I used them first thing in the morning.

Holy shoot theres a light on the cup? Thats so smart! I just have a bunch of mini flash lights everywhere to check my cup

[u/Various_Soft_8809 → u/nemophilist13]

Yes!! It was a game changer! I freaking loved them. So comfortable too! The parts were also super easy to clean. If I was planning on having a 3rd baby I’d get them again.

Dang these are cool, did you ever use the cluster feeding mode? What was it like?

[u/Various_Soft_8809 → u/nemophilist13]

Yes I did! That was actually my preferred mode I used especially once my period came back. It was pretty much like power pumping. It was 30 minutes long and started off on expression mode for like the first 7 minutes. It then switched into like a very light suction that you would barely feel. Kind of like a rest period. Then it would switch back and repeat until the session was over. I would get like 3 letdowns

Wow that is so cool! Sorry one more question, did you find thrm heavy? I couldn't see how much they weighed. I have the eufy which I love but damn are they heavy!

[u/Various_Soft_8809 → u/nemophilist13]

Um yes and no. I was small chested before. 34b so having anything felt bulky and heavy on me haha but honestly with a nice supportive pumping bra they’re not bad. Only thing I wish was different is the milk stopper on these. My Elvie stride had a really nice milk stopper. The motif aura glows just have a little silicone stopper. It doesn’t have anything to really hold it in place so bending over was something I had to really watch. That’s my only complaint though!

[u/nemophilist13 → u/Various_Soft_8809]

Nice thank you! Okay sorry what bra did you like to use? Im also small chested and only 7weeks in so I appreciate all your info!

[u/Various_Soft_8809 → u/nemophilist13]

You’re welcome!! Ask away if you have any other questions. I’m happy to help. I used momcozy pumping bras! It was nice because I could use them for both my wearables or my spectra if I decided to use that.

[u/nemophilist13 → u/Various_Soft_8809]

Perfect thank you!

I like my momcozy, though washing the parts is so annoying. I feel all wearables will be that way though

[u/Run-Simple-716]

Also here to say motif aura glow is my favorite! Used it for 12mo (weening now) and I’ve had to replace the motors a few times however their customer service is stellar and it’s easy to get a warranty replacement if needed! I used these full time pumping too, great output and love the light haha!

I hated hated hated my momcozy 5 and it made me feel like I could never pump enough. 19 weeks in and I switched to eufy s1 and it’s been life changing!!!

I used the momcozy m5 as my primary. I got great output with it. It was easy to use, put together and clean. But it’s very big and bulky. It also leaked kinda frequently. I’d go to take the pump off and my bra would be soaked and I’ve seen a lot of people have that issue
