Elvie Curve - Manual Wearable Breast Pump - Hands-Free, Kick-Proof, Portable Silicone Pump That Can Be Worn in-Bra for Gentle, Natural Milk Expression - Breast Feeding Essentials

Of all the silicone, manual type breast pump/milk collectors this one is my favorite. Don’t waste your money on others. This one works better because it is more structured, with the plastic shell, and therefore fits better and stays on better. It can sit easily inside of your bra while you nurse. Helps to collect milk and stimulate more production. Beware of the suction! I have gotten bruises from it, so be careful with how much suction you apply.

This was super easy to use to catch my letdown on the opposite breast while my baby was nursing. I got an extra ounce in about 15 minutes without having to pump. Unlike Haakaas which are super uncomfortable and borderline painful for me to use, plus I aren't discreet at all, this fit in my bra and I can wear it anywhere, even out of the house. I would recommend this to anyone who is breastfeeding as an easy way to catch just a little extra here and there to increase your stash.

Purchased for road trip to use on one side while nursing on the other. Baby is 7 months. Left on during and for 1 hour after feed and had 5-6 drops of milk in total. Sitting in the car, I had to readjust and reattach multiple times, but easy to use. Used around house a few times while nursing other side and had less than half an ounce.For $50 I wanted to love this thing. Compared to the cost of the Haakaa, this thing is significantly overpriced for what it is . Its much more discreet and not as bulky, which was why I stopped using the Haakaa. Would have been more useful at the earlier months when milk supply is ample. For me, I never had an oversupply and never leaked or had a significant letdown on the other side while nursing. An electric pump with stronger suction works better.If you have an oversupply, or letdown easily, I'd go with a cheaper silicone brand and save the $. You don't need the name brand and fancy packaging, which is what you're paying for. Plus they never go on sale. Its easy to clean, however when drying, water pools into the "release" button and can never fully dry. I had to shake out multiple times while on drying rack to shake out water that accumulated inside and spend an extra 15 seconds balancing it to drain properly. Not a deal breaker, but for $50 that stands out to me. Comes in two pieces. The white outer skeleton is unnecessary and adds to the weight. (Probably useful if you fill up the cup, which never happened with me.)Going back, I would have invested in cups for my electric pump instead. (Like Freemie etc. )

I wish I would have known this style collection cup existed before buying a Medela hand pump for basically the same purpose. I’m on my third baby and I’ve had a Haakaa collection cup before and hated it (the kind that has the bottle-shaped bottom) - it never stayed on properly and always spilled all over when removing it.The Curve is amazing. It’s two pieces, and minimal parts to disassemble is a huge plus, easy to clean and so simple to use. While I definitely wouldn’t say it’s discreet or invisible (wouldn’t wear it out on errands), it is so nice to just pop it on inside a bra, push once or twice on the front for suction and forget about while nursing on the other side. With no effort and about 15 minutes, I’m collecting 1.5-2 oz, which won’t fill up the newborn for a feeding, but is great for mixing in Vitamins D drops.I hate pumping, this doesn’t hurt and takes almost zero work, and collects what would otherwise just be leaking into my shirt. Only sorry I didn’t know about it/have it sooner, 10/10 would recommend for passive collection.

I used the Haakaa nearly daily with my first born and I loved it. Once she was about 7 months+ it became increasingly hard to ensure she didn't kick it off, so I would have to be a little more diligent about removing it as it filled up. So once I was pregnant again I was so excited to see this product (new to the market at the time), and I purchased immediately. However, now that I am using these products regularly again I have a few complaints about the Elvie Curve.1. It is discreet and fits well in your bra, but it does NOT have the suction that a Haakaa has. Nor the storage, in my opinion.2. It's much harder for me to get set up with this with adequate suction that it is with the Haakaa. It could be that I have more practice with the Haakaa and therefore I am faster at it, but still... not a lot of time to get situated when you have a hungry baby waiting to eat.3. I have not found it easy to get all of my milk out of the curve when I'm done using it. There's always some left behind and I think the way you have to pour it out is a little odd... I'm always worried I am going to spill.4. This thing is a pain to clean. Very hard to maneuver a brush around and I've had to go back and re-clean multiple times because I didn't get the outer edges well enough. Again, adding more time to a process that was way easier with Haakaa.5. Cost- this item is significantly more expensive than Haakaa and the Haakaa can frequently be found on sale for additional savings.All in all I still much prefer the Haakaa to this product and I will continue to recommend it to my mom friends over this product. This is a great product in theory but it doesn't hold a candle to the reliability and ease of use of the Haakaa. I hope they can continue to improve this product for future users!

I used a hakkah milk collector with my first and always had a hard time centering it correctly or not collecting as much milk. This elvie milk collector is so much easier to quickly put on before a feeding. I only use it when I’m breastfeeding on the side my baby isn’t latched to and it always works great. More comfortable to wear while breastfeeding as well. 10/10 recommend for breastfeeding.
