My oldest son was born in 2018, when wearable breast pumps were first hitting the market. I loved the idea of being able to pump while walking my dog or sitting in a work meeting, so I jumped at the chance to try one. Unfortunately, the model that was available at the time didn't work for me; I couldn't figure out how to get more than half an ounce from each breast.
Fast forward to today, and there are now several hands-free pump options, all of which work significantly better than the early version that I tried. If you're currently in the market for your own wearable pump, Momcozy offers some great options, including its new V1 and V2 pumps.
Most moms still recommend getting a traditional double-electric pump for maximum output and using a wearable breast pump for times when you need to pump on the go, like on your drive home from work. If you go that route, you can probably use insurance to cover one breast pump, but not both — which means price becomes a factor. That's where Momcozy's V1 and V2 hands-free pumps really shine. They stand their own when compared to pricier options, but at just $199.99 for either one, they are a fraction of the price of some of the bigger names on the market.
The V1 is Momcozy's hospital-grade wearable breast pump, meaning that it offers super-strong suction that's as powerful as lots of double-electric pumps. It's also pretty lightweight, with each milk collector and pump motor coming in at a combined weight of less than a pound. You can pump about 6 ounces per side before having to empty the container.
The V2 is similar, but is even lighter weight for moms who need maximum portability. Each milk collector-pump motor weight combo is about half a pound. The V2 is also the quieter model of the two, which is great if you need to pump while you're working a shift. The motor is slightly less powerful on the V2 than the V1, but it's still quite strong.
Both the V1 and the V2 come with more than 2 hours of battery life between charges (enough for seven pumping sessions!), have five different flange sizes, and offer a ton of different suction levels and expression mode settings so you can find which combo gives you the most milk.
I also love that they both come with touch panels so that you don't have to operate the pumps from your app. (That was definitely something that frustrated me when I tried out my wearable pump years ago.)
It really is impressive that you can get all of this functionality for less than $200. Check out the V1 and V2 pumps from Momcozy to get one for yourself.
