Miscellaneous Breast Pumps Yet-to-be Reviewed by Users
In alphabetical order, these breast pumps are a little less known, and are mostly un-reviewed by users.
Dr. Brown’s Natural Flow Breast Pump
This is a new manual breast pump in 2006; a hand-held single electric version and a double electric version are promised for 2007. It features one-way air flow to prevent breast infection and a massaging-type action that differs from traditional suction-only breast pumps. Few user reviews yet. For more details, see The New Trend: Massage.
Gerber Massaging Breast Pump
This manual pump is not to be confused with other breast pumps sold in the Gerber name which were discontinued. Only a few consumer reviews available at the Babies 'R Us website.http://www.gerber.com/bf/products/pump/index.html
Lansinoh Double Electric Breast Pump
This pump bears every resemblance to the Ameda Purely Yours Breast Pumps. Customer service claims it is different because it is made to their specifications but would not volunteer what those differences were. The parts appear identical and the motor provides the same vacuum settings and speeds as the Ameda. The Lansinoh website shows the Ameda Flexishield as an accessory so presumably Ameda’s custom inserts and flanges could help a mother with breast shield fit issues on their Lansinoh. The prices appear to be the same. Of 30 customer reviews on Target.com, 4.5 stars on average were awarded.
Other breast pumps have been sold under the Lansinoh name. We cannot make assumptions about the quality of these other pumps. No reviews found for the Lansinoh 20410 Easy Express Breast Pump (manual piston-type breast pump)
Limerick or PJ’s Comfort Electric Breast Pump
No reviews or further information found.
Lumiscope Gentle Expressions
At $20, this falls under the category of “cheap breast pump” and so should probably be avoided. Only a few mixed reviews. See also “Cheap Breast Pumps.”
Medela Swing Breast Pump
New in 2006, this single electric breast pump has the 2-Phase Expression feature of the hospital-grade Medela Symphony. More details on this website: Medela Swing
Versa Ped Breast Pump
This is another foot-powered mechanism for breast pumping that can be used with the parts from all major electric breast pump brands. (Medela also makes a foot-powered breast pump).
Whisper Wear Hands-Free
This is a hands-free breast pump worn inside one’s bra. It can be purchased as a single or a double. The small number of reviews found at the BabyCenter.com website are mixed.
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 details, see The New Trend: Massage.
