Hey Madison, thanks so much for your review on this! I’m torn between getting either this pump (Zomee fit) or the Elvie stride. I used the Spectra and Willow 3.0 with my first pregnancy-the spectra worked great for me, but the Willow was far too strong of suction. I made it work but it was definitely painful when using the Willow! Would you recommend I go with the Elvie Stride or with the Zomee Fit? I haven’t seen many reviews on the Zomee Fit yet, so I’m just curious to see what the suction might be like on it and how you like it compared to other wearable pumps like the Elvie Stride :)
I think you'd be ok with either the Zomee or stride! I found both of them to be plenty gentle but I still get good output. With the Zomee, you wouldn't have to worry about the tubes, but the Stride sits a little lighter in your bra which could be important to some.
@@MadisonLoethen thank you so much for your reply on this!! I thought of one more question-would you say that the Elvie Stride and the Zomee Fit are comparable as far as how much you can move around in? Or does one tend to leak more than the other?
@@rachellawrence217 Both are pretty easy to move around in! I haven't had trouble with either leaking but I'm always careful to keep my chest pretty upright when I'm moving around. With all but the Willow 3.0 you just cant bend forward to back too much.
Thanks for reviewing this one! I know you are a fan of the momcozy s12 pro as well. Which would you choose if you had to pick one? Any difference in the amount of milk they hold? Is either just overall easier to assemble/use/dissemble/clean? Thanks!
I feel like the parts on this one (Zomee) may be a little higher quality and last longer but the Momcozy S12 Pro is much easier to do the fridge hack with. The momcozy also will hold more milk. I think they’re about the same with ease to clean as long as you use the little brush the Zomee comes with. Hope that helps!
What is the fridge hack? And which has better suction ? The mom cozy or Zomee? Which would be better to help increase milk supply ? Which one out of the two is easier to clean?
@@blairefaris6038 fridge hack is basically where you rinse the parts and put them in the fridge to keep them clean in between washes. She already answered about the cleaning and from her response as usual I think it’s all about preference. Not sure about which one has better suction though.
@blairefaris6038 I know this is 3 months late lol. But in case someone else come across this, i simply put them in the fridge. As soon as I finished pumping, I poured in storage bag, rinsed pieces in hot water and set in the door.
Hi Madison! Thanks so much for reviewing this pump, I had a hard time finding other reviews on it. Would you recommend this pump vs the Willow Go?? I will have the Spectra S1 to use as my main pump, but wanted a wearable pump for on the go. Thanks!
They are honestly both good pumps that work well! I’d do this one though if u like doing the fridge hack. With the Willow Go you have to disassemble to get the motor out.
Hi Madison, thank you for reviewing this pump! I'm interested to know how you think this compares to the original Elvie? Besides not having an app like the Elvis, how did you feel they compared in size, function, sound, etc?
I haven't tried the original Elvie but I like it has much or more than my Elvie Stride! I honestly don't mind it not having an app. Then I can use my phone for other things. I'd say size and function is about the same but this one is heavier than the Elvie Stride
How does Zomee fit in comparison to mom cozy s12 pro ? Is it less bulky ? And smaller ? Also, why is the fridge hack easier with mom cozy s12 pro cs Zomee? Is Zomee essy to clean and assemble and dissambk llle
I like both! The Momcozy s12 pro is just a little easier to do the fridge hack because the motor just pops off a little easier. The Zomee is still pretty easy to disassemble and I would say takes the same amount of time to clean.
Would you choose this pump or the mom cozy s12? I’m going to have to be exclusively breast pumping and using it to help increase my supply as I had a breastfeeding hiccup where my suppply dropped. Which of the two options is easier and quicker to assemble and put on and clean ?
How is this compared to Momcozy M1? It didn’t work for me because it was too bulky and suction was poor. I’d love to try this one because the Zomee Z2 is my main pump and I get great output in 10 mins.
@@mayphan483 The Zomee has the silicone back which I know some people prefer but I'd say they're both pretty comfortable. I think the Willow Go might be a little lighter.
I think I’ve watched all your videos. I just bought the momcozy 12pro I’d like something more sleek and with fewer pieces. I like the fridge hack but not make or break it. My new pump only stayed charged for my overnight pumps, by morning I had to pump again! 3 pumps at 30 minutes. That’s about half the time I expected :/
Hm maybe this one or the Willow Go might work. Not sure that any of them will last more than three pumps though. That’s all I’ve done before I’ve charged.
@@MadisonLoethen thank you so much for getting back to me. Overall I do really like the pump. I am breast-feeding as well and still getting milk out which is better than I was getting with my spectra. I think so much of it was in my head, the anxiety, and the set up the prep… I guess I was just a little take him back when the batteries only lasted 90 minutes versus the 150 that they advertise, but if you say that sounds normal I trust you. Have a great day. Thank you.
@@micaelamcknight6967 I love my S12 pros too! If they're not lasting as long as they should I'd deff reach out to Momcozy. I just only pump 3 times in my work day and then charge overnight so I haven't really tried it longer than that
I love this pump so far. do you have any tips on how to prevent backflow? This seems to happen to me no matter what pump I use other than hand pump and I'm not sure why.
@@MadisonLoethen maybe I'm describing something else? I get a little milk in the diaphragms sometimes. Is that normal? I'm afraid that will affect the pumps motor?
@@JaneshaTrenese ah ok I think that can just happen from a powerful letdown and the diaphragm should block it from getting to the motor. It's just on the bottom of the diaphragm right? I wouldn't worry about it if so.
How is the size compared to the s12 pro? Is it less bulky? Can you see the milk that is pumping out while wearing ? Scared to get this one because they do not have free returns How is it in size in relation to the Elvie? I was running into the s12 pro being too bulky for me so unable to get good suction they way they laid in my bra. Do you think the Zomee fit is smaller ?
So I had issues with the Elvie because of the tunnel in the flange not being long enough for someone with elastic nipples. Would you say the tunnel is equal in length to other pumps like medela or spectra or is it shorter?
Hi, Can you please recommend which one should I get? s12 pro or this one (zo mee) This both are covered by my insurance but s12 will be single one through my insurance. I want a good suction one. please help
Do you think this pump is more leakproof than Horigen? My Horigens leak everywhere when I lean forward but otherwise I find them amazing and they empty me well. This pump looks just like it.
I haven’t had this one leak for me but the shield and milk collector is similar to the Horigen. Does it leak when you overfill it? I know neither have a sensor to warn u so u do have to kinda just keep an eye on it
@@Guitarlvr01 hm bummer! Idk if you had trouble with the Horigen you could have trouble with this one too since its parts are similar. The motors/screen are what's totally different.
Yes! It could be nice to have a regular pump as backup though. I love my wearables but I think I would still prefer to always have a traditional pump as backup in case something happened.
Ah honestly I like both and they are comparable. The Zomee fit collection container has a lid if that's something you think would be helpful. The M5 might be my go-to a little more though because it's easier to do the fridge hack with.
This would be my first time pumping how well does the zomee work compared to and elvie Double Electric Breast Pump ? I want get the zomee but it has no reviews
@@MadisonLoethen I plan on breastfeeding but I also like giving baby a bottle to give myself a break and so dad and maybe his brothers can feed him. I like having a stash for emergencies. I did that with my second born and it was a good thing I did.
I think I used a 27mm for my medela freestyle pump 3 years ago. I called them and they said largest would be 25. Do you think that could work for me? Really wanted a hands free pump like Elvie/willow etc.
@@shireenkhan279 I think so. Only a super small percentage of women would actually need a 27. I'd try remeasuring yourself or having a lactation consultant do it. You measure the actual nipple when it's stimulated. Here's more info: aeroflowbreastpumps.com/flange-size-chart
@@MadisonLoethen I definitely used a 27 mm with my Medela freestyle pump in 2020 with my daughter. It was honestly really uncomfortable and I still felt like it would rub up against the flanges. I really want to use the zomee fit because I want to try a wearable this time around and its covered by insurance. Have you heard of any additional larger flange sizes being offered through zomee or third party vendors?
@@shireenkhan279 I haven't heard of any lager flange options sry! I would deff go ahead and get formally sized by a lactation consultant though. Using too large a flange can cause rubbing feeling because it is pulling the whole nipple in instead of just the areola and that ca cause chapping if that makes sense.
