Elvie Stride Review

Elvie stride or Medela freestyle hands free ?

Hey I’m having a big problem. My nipple size is 34-36mm. I would love a wearable pump are there any options for me?

Does the cup vibrate

Second time mom but first time pumping/nursing.. would you recommend elvie stride or spectra 1? I’m not sure how often I will pump but would I would like have one pump in case nursing doesn’t work or if I choose to do both.

Do you have charts on the cycle speeds and settings for expression and stimulation?

Can you use the Elvie Stride pump with Spectra flanges?

What do you think of using Elvie cups with a Spectra pump?

I just got this pump. I only get 4 20-25 minute pump sessions with this. On their website it says it should last 5 30 minute sessions before it needs to charge. Anyone having this issue?

Thank you for the helpful video. Also love the cute baby😊

omg so comfortable! Best suction for sensitive nipples! I'm in love.... however ☝🏽 I don't get so much milk out as my medela pump! Is it bc I need to get used to the different suction? Help! I love this pink and I want it to work 😢

How does the sound compare to the freemie

I know this video is old but I couldn’t help but comment. I stumbled on your videos because I’m considering the Elvie Stride. I love your review however I’m not sure why you think darker skin women are less sensitive. This is stereotype and shouldn’t be perpetuated.

Is there a way to just use the motor and get tubing that connects to standard flange and bottles? These wearable cups don’t stay in place and move around in my bra

I have used a manual pump with both my kiddos. I tried the Spectra S2 with my last and was overwhelmed by the many settings and ended up getting mastitis. Curious if I should get this one or the Imani pump. Any ideas?

I watched another video where you were comparing the Stride with the original and some Willow options (don’t know which was the older video at the moment) and you mentioned that if you were planning on pumping frequently, you wouldn’t get the Stride. Is that still the case? I guess I need to go figure out which video was older.

Trying to decide between the elvie stride and the freemie rose. Any suggestions?

Do you know how the suction would compare to Ameda pumps?

Hi I’m a first time pumper, would you refer this or something like the spectra or motif luna?

I just received this pump through a dme company completely covered by insurance.

can you attach this pump to any other backflow protectors/bottles?

Have you done a comparison with Elvie stride and the freemie? I am having issues finding a good comparison between the 2. Thank you!!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Have you tried spectra 2?? Because this one is on my mind too.

Hi new pumping momma here !! Which pump do you prefer this one or the baby buddah?

I had a traditional pump the last time I had a baby which is about 6-7 years ago, TMI I had an issue with my milk not going into the tube for collection on one of my sides- so it would pump and then leak out of the flange- do you think with the suction not being super strong that I may have the same issue?

I like the idea that it’s more gentle and quiet as I am a realtor on the go. Thanks! Loved the video!

My last pregnancy I had issues with clog ducts until I switched to the hospital grade Medela pump.. I just rented it from the hospital. I felt the pull from my armpit to my nipple. And really felt like I was finally emptying properly. Any suggestions on a similar pump but wearable/portable as this will be used at home with 4 other young children and then at work as a nurse! TYA! Great review!

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding your skin example. "If you have fairer skin, your skin is more sensitive" are you implying that darker women don't have sensitive skin and have a higher pain tolerance? because that would imply a medical bias.

It's available on Amazon rn

I am a previous Medela user, is it similar or no?

First time mom trying to decide on a breast pump. This helped!! So thank you 🙏🏼 😊

Cutest baby 😍😍 thanks for the review

I would love to know wether you think these cups get better milk output compared to other wearable cups if you pair them with another pump other than the Elvie one. Because it’s just tubing right so technically you could just buy the cup parts and then attach it to any breast pump. Am I right in thinking that?

my insurance paid for 3 pumps. thank you for posting!

Anyone know the battery life on the stride? Can't even find that info on the website

Would love a comparison of this amd and the baby buddha!!

Finally a good elvie stride review!

I always know I can trust a review when the person making the video actually bought the pump themselves!

Hi, can you make a comparison video of Elvie Stride and Spectra S1 or Medela Pump in style. Want to know it as I am a first time mom and not able to choose right pump for me to buy. I will working after my Mat leave bdw so need to understand what’s right for me.

Thanks for posting! Your reviews have such great info and/or comparisons I can’t find elsewhwere. I have freemie cups and a baby buddha and on the baby buddha I can only use on the lowest setting so I’d been looking for a different option. I actually have really loved Elvies Curves after buying them based on your review and this one was so helpful, too! Thanks!

Thank you so much for this. I’m on baby #2 and I’ve been researching and the main complaint on the Elvie is the suction, so you explaining max suction and the “feel” meant a lot. I had the Motif with first baby and my nipples definitely shed a lot and it hurt. Buying this through insurance, $135 for me, maybe it will work better for me!

What, if any flange inserts work with this pump? I use 17mm, and the smallest available on the website is 21.

Would you recommend this or the freemie rose ? I need a comparison video 😩😅

How long does the battery last on a full charge? How long does it take to fully charge?

I have been looking at this pump as well as the pumpables genie advanced. I feel like I’d prefer the cups over the flanges but the pumpables pump better. The pumpables flanges do intrigue me! I feel like I have sensitive skin. Can the two systems be combined to use the cups and pumpables pump? Or is there a better cup option to pair with the pumpables?

Baby # 3 and I tried the medela with my first and hated it and had a difficult time overall. Second child also difficult. Did better with the spectra pump but had a lot of issues with mastitis and eventually called it quits. I’ve never produced much milk. Trying to find the right pump this time around but am not able to keep purchasing different pumps.

Thank you for any advice you have to offer!!

Hi! I’m trying to find a nice portable pump for work, and I just saw your overall review video alongside this one. Where would you rank the elvie stride in that list of other portable pumps?

LOL your little one exclaiming totally got my attention and I thought it was my baby and it totally freaked me out hahahaha LOVE your videos Allison! I am learning SO much while I pump!

So I’m expecting my second baby and I wasn’t successful with pumping with my first. I didn’t like that tugging ripping feeling and so this review appeals to me. However, I’m super worried that I should just go with the spectra model everyone else suggest because what if I need a higher suction? It always felt like my old one only ever got surface milk and nothing else so I still felt full. Online this pump says it get 270 but you said you average around 230 is that because of the tubes like you mentioned?

I had used the the spectra gold with my first baby who is 8 months old now and just found out it pregnant again! I’m looking into wearable pumps so that I don’t have to be stuck sitting, I can still do things like change diapers etc. how comparable is the Willow or the Elvie stride to the spectra gold?

Could you use the collection cups with a different pump? Like the spectra?

Which would you prefer, the Elvie Stride or Spectra 9?

I would love a comparison between this and the freemie rose!
