![]() This meant that unless I wanted the suction to be inadequate, the pump was almost always cycling too fast - the milk would still be freely streaming out and the Medela pump would tug again. With the Medela PISA, there is only one dial, so you have to turn up speed and suction together. (The PISA has a letdown mode, but it doesn't work as well as on this pump, and the EnJoye does not, unfortunately.)īecause you can adjust speed and suction separately, this pump is also great once you switch out of letdown mode. Thanks to this, it is super effective at getting the milk flowing. The letdown mode is quick, gentle, and fluttery, just like the baby's stimulation phase of nursing. With this pump, though, it's hardly different from nursing in terms of its comfort and gentleness. When I used the PISA, I always felt relieved not to have to pump at all over the weekend, when I was home with baby. The EnJoye wasn't as bad in this regard, but the S2 is still way, way better. I cannot emphasize the "gentle" part enough - compared to this the PISA really tugged at the nipples and was always at least a bit uncomfortable, even at pretty low settings. ![]() I tried the Enjoye for a couple of weeks but ended up returning it.) The S2 is by far better than both of these pumps.įirst, this pump is the only thing I've used that comes close to mimicking a baby's sucking action - thus, it is gentle, comfortable, and super-efficient. The Enjoye lacked a letdown mode, which meant it always took longer for me to get the milk going, and to get a second letdown, and it was also just way too loud to use at work. (Both Medela PISAs I owned gradually lost suction strength until they were basically useless - Medela replaced it, at no cost, the first time this happened, but wouldn't replace the replacement when it became useless, too. I work full-time and have pumped at work since my son was about three months old - so I've been breastfeeding and pumping for over a year and a half now! I got this pump after using a Medela PISA regularly for most of that year and a half, and after trying the Hygeia Enjoye for a couple of weeks. OVERALL: All in all, even with my complaints about the collection kit, I love this pump and highly recommend it!ĪLL THE DETAILS: (Warning: I'm including LOTS of details, since this product has just come out, and reviews are hard to find.) PROS: comfortable to use, sucking action more like a baby than any other pump I've used, quick/efficient, quiet, letdown mode, completely customizable pumping experience due to independent speed and suction controls, closed system if you use the included collection kit with its backflow filters, very good customer service through Mother's Milk, amazingly low price, lightweight, motor life of 1500 hoursĬONS: collection kit not that great and some (surmountable) difficulties with using other collection kits, no option to run on batteries or car charger ![]() I decided to try a Spectra pump after my second Medela Pump In Style Advanced crapped out on me, and I am so glad I did - the S2 pump is amazing - so much better than the PISA (and than the Hygeia EnJoye pump I briefly tried) in almost every way. ![]()
