In alphabetical order, these breast pumps are a little less known, and have not received a sufficient number of online reviews to be able to fit them anywhere else on this site.

Bailey Nurture III Breast Pump
 --Also distributed by Ameda Hollister

This breast pump has been around for a long time, though not as long as the oldest Medela and Ameda pumps. It works very differently from other electric breast pumps because the cycles of the pump are "manually" controlled by covering and uncovering a hole with the finger of one hand. When first investigating this pump in 2006, we found a great number of favorable reviews for this pump, but now in 2011 many of these reviews do not appear to able available. Reviews were somewhat mixed with many mothers loving the pump and others not.

Here is some information about the Bailey III:

Bicycle Horn Breast Pumps

These styles of breast pump were available freely more than twenty years ago and since the first invention of the breast pump. It resembles an old-fashioned bicycle horn because it has a funnel (the part placed against the breast) with a rubber bulb (the part that is squeezed to produce suction). These types of pumps are typically too weak to be effective. The design has been reincarnated in two recent pumps: the Cara Breast Pump and the Nuby Natural Touch. Reviews are sparse and not very good at this time.

Hygeia Enjoye Breast Pump

This product deserves an "honorable mention" for an unprecedented and generous consumer return policy for a breast pump.It is also a closed system pump, and the company encourages their pumps to be be resold or shared (when each user has their own personal accessory kit) for environmental reasons. There are not many reviews yet available, but early reviews seem to be mostly favorable.

Playtex Breast Pumps

The Playtex company currently makes the Playtex Petite Electric Breast Pump which it says is for occasional use only. Unfortunately it has not received a large number of reviews and so far the reviews do not appear to be very favorable. The few advantages of the pump may be the massaging feature and the fact that it is "closed system" for cleaner milk collection. Playtex also makes a manual pump that has not received very many reviews. The Playtex Embrace has been discontinued.

Whittlestone Breast Expressers

These breast expressers are now available for rental as well as sale, and as a manual or an electric breast pump. They use a combination massaging action with one-way air flow, differing from traditional suction-only breast pumps. No reviews available. For more information about massaging breast pumps, see The New Trend in Breast Pumps: Massage.
