Willow Go - 5oz Reusable Milk Containers with Splash Guard - for use with Willow Go Hands Free Breast Pump

Works as should. Wife likes the upgrade with the plug, works much better than original model and can use plugs on original as well

Ok so I exclusively pump and I absolutely hate it but I want my baby to have antibodies from my milk at least the first 6 months. In an effort to simplify my pumping and save my sanity I have owned several wearables. Momcozy S12, Momcozy M1, Bellababy, and Willow 3.0. Each one had its pros and cons but I kept searching for the perfect pump. This is it. The S12 had great suction but the motors were clunky and fell off easily. The Bellababy started turning itself on and off after 3 days of use and the shape was weird. The Willow 3.0 was a mess, when I could get it to work right the suction was very strange and I could barely get any milk. I sold this one with a quickness and was reluctant to get anything else from Willow but I'm glad I did. The M1 is my second favorite and closest in performance to the Willow Go but it's very round and protruding and feels clunky so I only use that one at home. However, it does empty me faster than the Willow. I find I have to run a 30-40 minute cycle on Willow and only 20 with the M1 but the Willow is much more comfortable to wear. The Willow Go is the most comfortable pump I have ever used and that includes my wall pumps like the Medela PIS and Motif Duo with cushions. Some people can use the Willow Go as their main pump but I am only 5 weeks PP so that is not recommended although honestly I pretty much use wearables exclusively because working from home with a newborn and a farm leaves you 0 time to sit by the wall for 20 mins.Pros-Relatively quiet compared to cheaper wearables-EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE-Great suction. This thing SUCKS and in the best way. I normally use my M1 and S12 at full suction but with the Willow I use it at 4-5.-Beautiful and just feels premium, fits the breast perfectly and no one can tell im wearing it (as long as they cant hear me)-High capacity cups (holds way more than Willow 3.0)-The parts are easy to assemble/disassemble and cleanCons:-The app sucks, disconnects a lot and doesnt really do much other than show you how long and which setting you are on-Louder than Willow 3.0 but not by much-Takes longer to empty me than other wearables-Battery life could be better, I only get about 2 30-min sessions, but it does recharge pretty quickOverall I would not recommend the 3.0 but I would def recommend the Willow Go for exactly as the name states, on the Go. It's the perfect pump for traveling or completing outside chores etc. just would not recommend as main pump but that goes for any wearable.

My husband bought me this and I didn't read reviews before we opened it. Big mistake.first time mom here, I use the spectra as my primary pump and was sick of being stuck to an electrical outlet all the time qnd for when i return to work. Here's why the willow is totally unusable:1. Assembly sucks: It has to be assembled *perfectly* to work and even then, it works 33% of the time. I waste 10 mins every time i try to pump just troubleshooting why it won't close correctly.2. Getting it in position to actually work: j wear a pumping bra but because of the design, you can't see if it's working without stripping down so you better hope you don't accidentally reposition it when you put your clothes back on because if it goes out of position, you wasted 25 mins pumping air. The suction is light so its hard to tell if it's working correctly. This makes it less of a wearable pump and more of a hand pump, defeating the whole purpose of the design of discretely pumping. And yes it is loud.3. Too many parts: It takes 5-10 mins to wash all the parts thoroughly after each pump. There are 5 parts per side and you can't leave it in the storage receptacle, you have to move it into a bottle. You also have to charge it after 2-3 uses. Which brings me to...4. Expensive add-ons needed: They don't include the freaking charging base, differently sized flanges, or a receptacle that can hold more than 5 oz. So get ready to spend an extra $40-$50 for the things you need to use the pump conveniently.5. Return policy: you can't return upon opening. Period. So you're taking a $250-$300 gamble just opening the package.I haven't tried other wearable pumps, it seems that these are common issues so I'm just going to suck it up and use my spectra. Good luck.

I was skeptical based on some of the negative reviews I saw but this pump has been truly amazing. I have flat nipples and large breasts so I wasn’t sure I’d ever be able to tandem pump and nurse my baby successfully.However, the gentle suction got double out of one breast what I typically got out of both when hand expressing with a manual pump or my haakaa. It’s also much quieter and more convenient to use than my spectra for overnight pumping. I still use my spectra on a daily basis but not having to worry about the cords and tubes at night when I’m tired has been great.The only drawback to these pumps is that there are so many parts to disassemble and put back together but, once you’ve done it a couple of times, it’s really not that bad. Just make sure all parts are dry before reassembling and then gently tug on the diaphragm before attaching the clear flanges to the back. I haven’t had any suction issues since. Also, make sure to get fitted for proper insert sizes with a lactation consultant for the most comfortable experience since the 24 mm flanges that come standard with the pumps are much too big for most people (I got sized and found out I needed a 17 mm fitted insert).Update: I was having difficulty syncing my pumps to my phone and figured out that if you disconnect Bluetooth the batteries on the pumps last forever. I can now use these pumps throughout the day on one charge which is fantastic since I’m back to work full time. Just a tip for anyone annoyed by the short battery lifespan like I was!Happy pumping!
