As described and work as they should — Private
Bought these for the wife as she’s expressing. She loves them, finds the pumping for comfortable and a lot quicker as she’s able to increase the vacuum. No longer sore and red. — Andrew
Since the Ardo has 26mm flanges most inserts for 24mm flanges don't fit very well, but these fit perfectly. There are only limited sizes available, but while 18 is maybe not quite optimum for me it does work fine. One thing that doesn't matter to me personally but might to some, is that the insert is very long, I can't imagine any real chance of a elastic nipple hitting the bottom. Again not a problem for me but I have seen some flanges that I can imagine being terrible, but that would not be a problem with these. — Private
These are perfect bottles to pump milk into and to use to store milk in the fridge. I love the design and they are also 100% leak proof — Paige Coke
These bottles are not only really cute, but they held up very well. I was able to store a pumping session using only one bottle. They are the perfect storage size, and even though the markings are clear, they are still easy to read. They look like glass milk bottles which makes them stand out from the rest, but they are actually plastic and BPA free, which is a plus. The four pack is also so much more convenient especially when you are constantly pumping and storing. These are definitely a must have! — Lucy C
Still big for me but it helped me pump better. It doesn't click to lock but if you twist right, then it should stay in place. — Tigerlily
These worked great. After learning how to properly measure for most efficient pumping, and ordering these they made all the difference! I highly recommend speaking with a lactation specialist about how to properly measure your breasts for fit, then coming back here to Amazon and getting the size you need. You won't be disappointed. Way less painful, and way more efficient. Makes the entire process way less of a pain. — Mother-of-Pitbulls
Exactly what I needed! If your size is not the average these will help. — Private
Perfect fit, bought these because the ones that came with my pump leaked from the first use. but these replacements never leaked! — Private
Made pumping milk easier for me since the shells that came with my breast pump were too small. — Eleanor
WAY more comfortable than other brands. Output better too. I LOVE the insert. It's so easy to use since it fits right into the 31. It makes storage and traveling easier. When I found the right size, I got more milk. — Midwest Mom of 4
Perfect fit, bought these because the ones that came with my pump leaked from the first use. but these replacements never leaked! — Private
I ordered the wrong size but other than that it works. — Private
We purchased these bottles for storing milk we pumped and we that it comes with rings and a removable top. It allows us to turn the storage bottle into a feeding bottle for our newborn. We purchased the 4 pack, but we probably should have purchased more Bc it’s so versatile and easy to clean! — Jerrick Guerrero
I just received my pump yesterday and so far I really like it! The suction power is great, and feels very comfortable. I love the app and how easy all of it is to use. I had a momcozy wearable pump, but it stopped working after 3 months. The actual pump itself is a little big, but I love the feature of increasing breastmilk. It feels as efficient as the spectra but the cups are much more comfortable. Definitely recommend! — Janely
First off, this pump is a complete game changer! It’s innovative technology and features are what makes it stand out. What’s even more exciting and amazing is how this pump has a power pumping feature like no other! If you are new or seasoned in your breastfeeding journey, Ardo’s Alyssa has everything you need, especially if you find yourself in a cluster feeding period. As Mommy of five previous and new exclusively breastfed munchkins, I have finally found a pump that doesn’t leave me feeling like ran a marathon! The power pumping button is programmed to do all the work for you, and is definitely effective when it comes to increasing your milk supply. It’s made such a significant difference with my supply. I actually look forward to how comfortable my pumping sessions are. I now feel confident using this feature. If you aren’t looking into power pumping you can simply switch to your regular pumping preference, with eight different vaccum and cycle levels! There is also a convenient memory plus feature button that actually saves your pumping history. This feature makes it so convenient and easy, since I forget so much these days, with so much on my plate. It’s so easy to assemble, and even includes how to videos that are easy to access on how to assemble your pump! The design is always so simple and sleek, which i love. and it’s actually the perfect size that I can take it just about anywhere, especially with a rechargeable battery! A major plus for me is the MyArdo App that you can actually download which makes it possible to control your pump straight from your smartphone. If you are considering getting a pump that is effective, easy to use and assemble, innovative, like no other, please look no further, Alyssa is the perfect personal pumping assistant! Ardo also has the best customer service, and is with you through every step of your nursing journey! — Lucy
This is absolutely the best pump I’ve ever used. Within just two days, I noticed a huge increase in the amount I was able to pump (I was six weeks postpartum and was pumping about 3 ounces maximum, but this went up to seven ounces!) This was without even using the power pumping feature, which I tried out to boost my evening milk supply. My baby was fussy and hungry every hour in the evenings for a while making me think my milk supply was low - I used the power pumping feature for three nights at 6pm and noticed a huge difference even between the three days. It has been two weeks and my supply is still plentiful at night! That’s not to say I love everything about this pump. It’s a little bit noisy, the buttons can be either really sensitive or don’t work at times, and there’s no way to manually program the pump in the app - you have to run an actual pumping session and then save it to the memory. That means there are always a few annoying seconds at the beginning of my programmed settings where I was adjusting the pump, instead of it doing exactly what I want every time. These cons practically don’t matter. They are so unimportant compared to the actual results I am getting - so much milk! The app on the phone lets me control the pump so that the finicky buttons are a moot point. The noise is nowhere near loud enough to be annoying or wake my baby. The suction is very comfortable, the flanges fit well, and I tried it with the Optiflow massage inserts and got even better results!!!! Also, on a side note, the clear aesthetic makes it so satisfying to watch your milk flow into the bottles. I learned so much more about my let-downs (plural!) during pumping than I knew before. I would highly recommend this pump. — Amy
This set is easy to use and the suction is great. It makes my mornings before work a little easier because I can put these on and continue getting ready without being connected to the wall or connected to a pump I need to carry around with me. It is a little challenging to clean, but I find that is true with most breast pumps/baby bottles. — Wes
I absolutely love this pump! It’s been tough to find a double pump that was consistent in both pump actions and tracking, for an affordable price. The different settings are incredibly useful for the day to day. The tracking app makes it so easy to try and measure production as well, so planning ahead for storage has become easier. — Normie
Love the pump. It was recommended by my lactation consultant, but then saw it's available with collection cups which are very comfortable. The video was very helpful to put the cups back together after cleaning. Like the power pump function but don't use it, I have enough milk. The cups hold 6 ounces which I fill up. Love the memory to save the whole pump session and the use with my phone. And I like that it's made in Switzerland. Highly recommend. — Maria
This Alyssa hands free pump is a game-changer, even better than my previous Ardo pump! The collection cups are easy to put on and they stay in place, so I can pump hands-free while I'm working at my desk. Nobody even knows I'm doing it! The alyssa pump is also quiet so I don't feel like I'm bothering anyone while I'm pumping at my desk. It's helpful because I have to pump a lot... My favorite thing about this pump is the power pumping feature. That's the main reason I bought it because I'm trying to up my milk supply. I heard that this pump has a power pumping option so I don't have to keep track of the schedule myself. I've been using it for a few days now and I can see an increase in my supply already, after just a few days. So if you're looking for a pump that's easy to use and actually helps boost your supply, this is the one. I recommend it! — Caroline
If you’re looking for a pump that is so easy to use and has amazing features, look no further! This pump has it all, and to top it off it is hands-free! The Ardo Alyssa hands- free pump is my absolute favorite go-to pump. It is innovative and has so many great features, including my favorite , power pumping feature. It mimics cluster feeding, so this feature will definitely increase your milk supply. I’ve noticed a significant increase in my supply and its memory plus function saves your pumping session settings, which is so great, since I tend to forget a lot these days! The collection cups are the most comfortable I’ve worn, and they are super simple to assemble and clean. These make it possible to multitask and sometimes I forget I’m even pumping! They can hold up to 6 oz. It also comes with a lanyard which is amazing to wear. The pump is so lightweight and compact but has the mightiest hospital grade strength! An added bonus is the MyArdo app, from which makes it so convenient and easy to control from your phone! This pump is grade A, and I would definitely recommend it. It will truly make your breastfeeding journey amazing! — Lucy
This packs some power! Much better than the ones with the batteries on top I honestly just fell the other day with these on and didn’t spill the power pumping button is clutch as well wish I had found these sooner — Chelsea
Click to play video I’m towards the end of my pumping journey with my second kid, and this is seriously my favorite pump (I’ve tried at least 6 different ones including the more mainstream) and I wish more people knew about Ardo pumps! I think the think I really appreciate is that it seems like it was made with moms in mind using new technology. Highlights: -portable! There’s a built in battery so just charge and go. It doesn’t lose any suction power when unplugged. I haven’t tested the battery life yet. -it’s fairly quiet. I mean, it’s not silent, but compared with some other pumps it’s much quieter. You can hear it in the video -suction power and frequency are totally customizable. As with other Ardo pumps you can change them independently. For example, I like pumping at the same frequency as stimulation mode but with more suction than during stimulation mode. -comfortable? I don’t know if I can ever say pumping is comfortable, but I only use it at a 3-4 level (out of 8) vacuum level and I’m never sore. Part of that has to do with the ability to customize suction and frequency separately -it has a timer so you can see how long your session is -the save feature will literally remember the exact timing and setting of your saved session -power pumping-I didn’t even know this was a thing with my first kid. Game changer! -there’s an app! While most times I still controlled it from the device, it was a nice feature. Cons: -the parts aren’t the easiest to clean, but are similar to other pumps -the flange sizing is interesting. This one comes with 22mm inserts for 26mm flanges. Most other pumps come with size 24mm standard they have a guide for you to find the right size -there’s a slight learning curve if you’ve never used an Ardo pump, but the manual and tips are super helpful! Just remember that you need to press and hold over the buttons to turn them on/off — Melissa
Perfect on the go manual breast pump. Very convenient for quick pumping session. No issues here. Would recommend to anyone. — Oc
The pump is very convenient. It’s simple to put together and easy to clean, store and use. The handle is very sturdy, you can pump at your rhythm. Overall, the pump has a nice suction, it's easy to have full control the speed and the force. The breast shells are the most common sizes, had no problem with the fitting. The ergonomic handle does help avoid fatigue, my hand does not get too tired, and I love that right- and left-handed people can use it. The pump is quiet when using. I find it better than the Medela manual breast pump. Plus, it's an excellent value for the price. I am very happy with this purchase. — Sofia Espinoza Alvarez
The Ardo hand pump is a perfect tool for pumping! I find this super helpful when needing a quick pump to relieve some pressure or travel. I just took it on a trip and loved how light, compact and quiet it is to use! I loved how simple it is to put together and disassemble for easy cleaning too. The handle moves in a few different positions to be more ergonomic for left or right sided use. It also comes automatically with two flange sizes and easily interchangeable. The pump has the common duckbill shaped membrane and even comes with an extra. I also liked that it comes with a base to rest it on and a screw cap for the bottle if you need to store your milk in that one. I found I was able to extract a good amount of milk with this and could easily mimic my electric pump with quick short bursts of suction or longer slower draws. I really liked this hand pump! — Adzam
Perfect travel size product. — Lexie
This product was easy to apply and I didn’t have to wipe off before feeding baby. It soothed my sore nipples and is vegan which is awesome! It was easy to get out of the tube and will be my go to nipple cream. I like it a lot more than lanolin which I find to be very thick and hard to apply. — Monika
For obvious reasons I can’t post pictures of the nips so I tried the cream on my dry, cracked hand and it was amazing. This is one overnight application. No scent, a little go a long way, not sticky. This healed great for my hands so this is great for all the dry, cracked nips that comes with pumping or breastfeeding. — Tien
Product as described! It’s perfect if you’re looking for an unscented balm for sore nipples or lubricant for pumping. It even works great as a lip balm. — Emma S
Love this! Great when sore but I also use it when I pump and it makes a world of difference, definitely recommend for pumping and nursing directly mamas. — Jenne
Really great product. I’ve been having really dry nipples since I started lactating and this is helping keep up the moisture with my skin. Will definitely continue to use as I begin pumping and nursing. Plus I had a wedding this weekend and it even worked with the nipple petals I stuck on for my gown! — Geena
I currently have four different nipple creams in my stash and this one is the best. Unlike some other lanolin creams, this one is 100% pure lanolin, without any fillers or additional ingredients. Unlike other pure lanolin creams, this one is not at all sticky or excessively thick. It is thick enough to provide protection and moisture, but it spreads on easily and comfortably. My nipples have been chapped lately and they’re already noticeably healed after one week. I’ve also been putting it on my hands and cuticles at night, and I immediately stopped getting hangnails. I definitely recommend this product for chapped nipples or any dry skin that needs protection and healing. — Amanda
These work great and last long. I bought a second set of pump parts to have on hand. They fit the Ardo Melia Wearable Breast Pump perfectly! — Kate
Perfect fit — Private
I'm new to the wearable world as with my first child I was solely a Motif Luna wall pump user. My second child was born in September this year and I knew that I wanted to give the wearables a try since I would need to be more mobile now with both an infant and a toddler. The Ardo name is very reputable and I've read a lot of positive reviews about the Calypso and Alyssa, so when they released the Melia I knew I had to give it a try. The programmable options and the far fewer parts to wash (that can also be conveniently placed in dishwasher) were all very attractive. I predominantly breastfeed now and am starting to incorporate more pumping as I prepare to return to work. Once this happens, I expect to pump 30-40% of the time. Given this breakdown, wearables were more of a realistic option given the flexibility/mobility they provide and worth trying despite the well known issues and concerns with decreasing milk supply that I know others have experienced with these types of pumps. I've used the Melia for roughly two weeks and have consistently netted a respectable 6 oz + per session. I still have to compare this to what I get out of my sessions with the Motif Luna, but I'm liking the results and it equates to two feedings for my little one at this stage of his growth. I'll aim to update this post as I continue to figure out the best settings and supports (bra, consulting lactation experts, etc.), but for now I foresee the Melia being a mainstay tool in my toolbox as I seek to maintain my supply and strike the right balance between breastfeeding and pumping throughout the day. I am ever grateful for the increasing innovation in this space and the consideration reflected in pumps like the Melia that help to make the breastfeeding journey a bit easier/less daunting, and more supportive. — Frederc3
I ordered these pumps to have something to use on the go and they did not disappoint!! They are easy to charge, easy to wear discreetly and are comfortable. I have a large chest (36DD) so wearing a pump is not usually something I can do but this was easy! I’ll be recommending to every mother I know — Lauren B
I am an exclusive pumper and when I was newly postpartum purchased a different set of handless pumps (I won’t name names but they are the “MC’s”). I didn’t use those as much as I intended because I didn’t see much luck with them… they were too bulky, not the right kind of suction, not comfortable no matter what flanges I used etc. I had seen the Ardo’s advertised and thought what the hell let me just try a new pair and WOW am I glad I did. I love the settings, they are much thinner cups and fit better inside my bra, and they don’t hurt at all, even with the higher suction! I tried these vs my plug in Spectra for my normal day time pumps and honestly feel like I was getting just as much from these. All I can say is if you’re on the fence and/or comparing with other brands… go Ardo. You won’t be disappointed! — Lori
I cant express enough how much i love the tubes they are so awesome! — Krissy
Convenient prepackaged replacement parts set! — Kelly
Exactly what I wanted! Came quick! — Vonsha
This is truly a magnificent invention. I am literally using these for the first time as I type this out bc I’m so excited. My baby is 6 days old today and her latch isn’t the best. I have large nipples and she has a tiny mouth. I’ve been trying all the suggestions from the nurses to get a better latch but I think it’s just something that will happen with time. In the meantime my poor nipples are being abused. I do warm and cold packs and use the patches to soothe them as well as nipple butter after every feeding. They’ll start looking better and then we’ll go through a cluster feeding and once again are just painful and raw/cracked. I put the shield on and at first I think she thought it was a cruel joke or a pacifier but she kept at it and as I braced myself for the inevitable pain I heard her swallow and realized she was latched!!! And there was no pain! I’m so happy bc I’ve been looking forward to the bonding that comes with breast feeding my whole pregnancy and it’s been less than fun. Now I can relax with my baby while she feeds to her hearts content. I’m so happy I could cry…everything makes me cry these days so I don’t know if that’s saying much. I will say I’ll recommend these to any breast feeding mama. The storage container is great too and each shield gives 100 uses. I’m gonna stock up. — Siobhain
I bought these to help with overflow. I tried a few others and these worked the best. They stay on and my baby seems to do well with them. They really helped to stop him from choking from the milk coming out too fast and basically form a bottle. — Jocelyn
Worked like charm-fit like a glove! My now 3 week old is a shallow sucker and latching is a hit or miss. He was so fussy because he couldn’t latch. I remembered I bought these, put on quickly and he latched on in seconds and relaxed, ate and conked out. They are super comfortable! — Connie
Nice mum was happy and baby too, very comfortable. — Aulona
My newborn was having trouble latching. They gave me a medela shield in the hospital but it wasnt great. I had gotten these from my baby registry so we gave them a try once we got home from the hospital and they work like a charm. No more latching issues. — Kia
Nice and thin! Work great! A savior to my super sore, bleeding nipples after bringing baby home. — Ana
Loved it!! — Hayley
The absolute BEST and truly SMALL nipple shield I have found! I have used nipple shields since the beginning of my nursing journey. I started out with 24mm Medela ones they offered me in the hospital and have used them on and off since. I ultimately ended up purchasing a small (20mm) from Lansinoh and those became my daily pair since they were cheaper and 100% comparable to each other, aside from the obvious size difference. When I was looking for a smaller pair (Lansinoh was still not as small as I needed) I came across Ardo’s Tulips. The price point was SUPER appealing and they carried 16mm (this is what I consider small! NOT a 20mm!) So, what did I have to lose. Ladies, if you use nipple shields.. do not “save for later” PUT THESE IN YOUR CART NOW! You will only be mad at the fact you waited so long to try these for yourself. I’ve always been a huge Ardo fan, so I knew the quality was going to be amazing, but let’s talk about design. Medela and Lansinoh both were made from a much thicker cut silicone, and the shields would pop off a lot of times before I even latched baby, not Ardo. They literally seal to your skin and stay in place. Not only that, but they are SO comfortable. You would think silicone was silicone right? Wrong! Lansinoh and Medela both have ridges around the edges that do become irritating after baby is latched a while. I have not experienced any irritation from the Ardo Tulips. I also love that these came in a small little green case too and not a wildly bulky one like the Lansinoh ones did. 10/10 recommend these to any woman who is currently nursing that experiences any amount of nipple pain at all, or new moms that plan to breastfeed. — Anakole
I’ve spent many late nights, in the dark, with my phone flashlight on-but partially covered with a blanket or something to try to dim it. Having to adjust the light to all sorts of angles so I could see. Struggling and trying not to wake my kids and husband up with the bright light… These little lights have solved all of those problems! They are perfectly bright enough so that I can see what I need to, but they aren’t bright enough to wake anyone up. They are right on the pump, so I can see the milk flow, when it slows, when it stops, how full the bottle is, etc. they are PERFECT. GET THEM. — Amazon Customer
These little pump lights are a night time must have! Middle of the night pumps are so annoying when you have to turn the lights on and wake yourself up. These helps so much and stop me from needing to turn the lights on as I can just turn these little lights on and the light on my pump and it’s enough to not have to use the ceiling lights! Highly recommend for any exclusive pumper! — Amazon Customer
I don't even know what to say besides that fact that this little product is genius. If you are constantly needing to look when you have a letdown to see how much milk is coming out AND you are always using your phone light (or needing to be in a bright room), then you need these little lights. These are especially fantastic for those middle of the night pumps when you don't want a light on or even your phone, since I'd rather be scrolling it than using its flashlight. These have two settings - low and high. They are lightweight, so you don't have to worry about them weighing down your flange and bottle setup. The light itself can be a bit jarring depending on how you place it, so play around with it. But it's just awesome. It is so clever and thank you to whoever was having this same issue of not being able to see well and decided enough was enough, and came up with this solution! My only gripe, if there was one, is that I wish that charger was a dual head. That way I could charge them at once. But I realize that I can use another Type C charger to charge them together. It would just be more convenient to plug into the same outlet. These do take a while to charge, so the first night, since I only had the one cable, took a very long time to be able to try these out due to charging each one. — Amazon Customer
For all you pumpers, this Ardo is one to try! As a pumping mom, I've tried quite a few of the other big name pumps and this one really stands out for quality and so much value! They say this pump is different because it uses a piston pump mechanism and from the receiving end I agree there really is a difference! I am so impressed at how comfortable and unique the suction feels with the Calypso! It takes me less time to get more milk then compared with my other pumps! Any pumping parent can attest to how important getting more milk in less time is! Time is everything when you have a baby! The pump itself is super small and lightweight. It is made to be plugged in but does have option of using batteries if needed which is helpful for the car or on the go in case there isn't a plug nearby. It is so much quieter then other pumps i've used! Even on the highest setting, I feel like my milk dripping out is sometimes louder then the pump sound! It is very easy to use with two buttons up/down to adjust Suction and Cycles. There isn't a "starting" or "letdown" mode button but it is easy enough to just adjust the speed and cycles which actually makes it easier since everyones body responds differently to the pump and may choose different settings to dial it in perfect for their letdown. I just start with a high cycle and lower vacuum then when my milk starts letting down I decrease the cycles and increase he vacuum. I think the level of comfort this pump provides through the easy controls also helps me make more milk as it's not painful at all so my body can relax. The mechanism of the pump suction really does feel different then other pumps as I don't feel any nipple pinching or pain ever with this pump. I have smaller nipples and needed to use the flange inserts to make it smaller at 22mm. I do wish that the insert clipped in or was a whole flange itself instead of just resting in the larger flange because sometimes it falls out when putting the parts on or off. I wear a hands free pumping bra so it is not an issue while pumping now that I know. If you do have smaller nipples I would measure first to make sure the flange is a good fit. If you feel like you have average or larger nipples you're in luck because this pump comes with a large variety of size flanges and even a silicone insert too! If you have no clue your nipple size, Ardo actually includes a little measuring sheet to help! They really include a lot for the value with this pump. Aside from the pump you get, 3 flange sizes, silicone Optiflo massage flange inserts, extra bottles and pump parts, sizing guide, cleaning brush, and bottle holder. I would hands down say this is now my "go-to" pump especially since I am pumping for work now too! I love that it is so quiet when I am pumping at work or at home during the night. The Ardo really has been great for at home or on the go! Pumping is a major part of our lives so anything that makes it easier to fit into an on-the-go lifestyle is key I also love that this is a closed system so that no milk can get caught up in the pump and be possible source of bacteria or mold growth. It is also important to me that the bottles are BPA free and super easy to clean and assemble! It is a standard neck bottle size so very convenient for compatibility with other standard neck baby feeding bottles too. Hands down I would recommend the Ardo Calypso as a pumping parent! — Adzam
I have used a total of 13 breast pumps and I can confidently say this is my favorite! (My second and third favorites are hospital-grade pumps that cost $2000+.) What I like most about this pump is what it is NOT... It is not finicky, it is not difficult to use, it does not do anything except for what you expect it to. In my experience most breast pumps can be a little temperamental and there's always something that goes wrong... (The tubing comes disconnected, the flanges need adjusting, output is low for no apparent reason, you can't move for fear that something will fall out of place, etc...) Not the Calypso! It's very easy to assemble and use, and I haven't had a need for troubleshooting. Just read the instructions (which are easy to read and understand), follow them, and it should be smooth sailing. A few traits I like about this pump are that it can be used as either a single or double pump, it's a closed system, my output is excellent, it's comfortable, and it's very quiet! Other highlights include a manual pump that comes with the kit, a silicone flange for added comfort, and independent controls for speed and suction. (Even some hospital-grade pumps don't allow for independent control of speed and suction.) This kit is exhaustive and includes everything you could need, and every piece is of high quality. I do not worry about any of my parts breaking or malfunctioning. The bag is stylish, the bottles have a flared base which provides more stability, the cooler bag and ice packs are space efficient and effective at keeping milk cooled. The bag and additional storage pouches are thoughtfully designed to keep everything efficiently organized and easy to access for use. The bottom line: This is by far my favorite pump of the 13 I have used! It is now my default go-to pump and I will recommend it to anyone who asks. It is easy to use, effective, comfortable, quiet, and I have yet to identify any flaws. You won't be disappointed if you get the Ardo Calypso! — Amanda
In short: this is a super quiet pump that has great milk extraction and it’s pretty much painless! Pros: -This pump has excellent suction without being painful. As one of their representatives pointed out to me, this pump uses pistons rather than a diaphragm which makes it more effective to pull out milk at a lower suction power. I definitely agree as I never went more than halfway on the vacuum power and I never felt any soreness like I have with other pumps. -Quiet! It’s obviously not silent, but it is very quiet. -Bottle holder—as someone who has had many a bottle of milk tip over while I’m trying to get my life together post pumping, I appreciate the detachable bottle holders. -Battery option— I haven’t tried this yet but I like that it’s an option to be portable. Would be even better if it was rechargeable! -Shabbat mode—this isn’t applicable to me, but I think it’s really inclusive to have this option for women to pump while being able to observe Shabbat. Cons: —Flanges come in size 26 or size 28 which can be used with silicone inserts for size 26. I found this interesting since most other pumps come with size 24. So just something to note you might need to buy different sizes. —The tops of the flanges where the tubes connect can be a little sharp, so just watch out while washing. —The display doesn’t indicate time, so you’ll need to track that yourself. Also, there’s no automatic switch from let down to expression mode, you just adjust the levels yourself. Not a deal breaker by any means, but might not be intuitive for all. Overall, it’s a big win for what it’s made for—milk extraction! Are there little things they could do to make it ideal, sure? But those things are minor when it comes to what really matters—quick, painless, quiet pumping! — Melissa
Quiet at last - The Ardo has some nice pros and a few cons. For starters, it is very quiet, which is very nice. I use it while pumping one side, while my baby nurses on the other, often in the middle of the night, right next to my husband. Because it's so quiet, she can often still nurse calmly and usually falls asleep even though the pump is very close by. I also really like the stands that hold the bottle. I've used other pumps before and it's nice to know that when I put the pump parts down, they aren't top heavy and wont fall over. The pluses out weigh the minuses but there are a few things I wish were different. Mainly, that the bottle demarcations were easier to see. Also, I wish the pump remembered my last setting when I turned it back on. Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for sending me this breast pump! — Lily N
Couldn't get a good fit, but loved the pump. - This breastpump has qualities I wish my other double pump had and lacks features I didn't know I would miss. I bf both of my girls and have been pumping to supplement for one right after the other was done, for the last 2 years. This is the 3rd electric double pump I have used, 4th pump altogether. What I really, really like about it is it's portability. There's not much to the pump so I can bring it with me anywhere and it fits in many of the handbags I currently have. I can't even consider doing that with the Medela double pump I have. The only thing about using it anywhere is that the power cable is only 4 feet long so I have to set myself up pretty close to an outlet. You also don't want to set up anywhere there is even a remote amount of debris, because the tubing on it is a weird matte material and EVERYTHING sticks to it. I normally pump sitting on the edge of my bed and my tubes after only one use are covered in little cotton fuzzies. I don't know if they are going to have other attachments that will be available, but I wasn't able to find a flange that worked very well. I normally use a 27mm for my Medela pump, and the Ardo came with 26s, 28s and 31s. I tried both the 26 and the 28 but neither felt comfortable. They also have a flexible flange that sits within the 31 that is supposed to allow you to massage without losing suction. I like the concept, but on my smaller breasts this piece didn't get any results. Should you find a flange that fits properly, this pump is really customizable. The Medela double I have has 2 settings: a build up to let down, and the monotonous pump. Then it has a knob where I can turn up or down the intensity of the suction. This portable Ardo is completely customizable. It takes a bit to get used to what setting you want it on and what works best for your own let down, but once I have it right I let down faster and I can change the setting to the monotonous pump at exactly the rate and strength that I want. As far as pieces go, this pump is hands down easier to clean. There are less pieces and they are sturdier than the Medela. The only exception is this terrible, dust-magnet tubing. — Anginator
Great Pump! - Having pumped for all 3 of my children (ages 4 years, 2 years and 1.5 months) – I’ve only ever used the Medela PIS until now. When the Ardo Calypso arrived, I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. The pump is smaller than I thought it would be and SO incredibly quiet when it’s on!! So the biggest pro for me – this pump is a closed system! Yes – this means no milk condensation in the pump…ever! I also noticed rubber feet on the base of the pump, which prevents the pump from slipping off the table. The double A battery compartment is built into the pump, so there are no extra adapters that you need to purchase if you need to pump in the car or away from an outlet. The ability to customize the suction strength and cycle time is also helpful…if you have pumped before and know what to expect when you’re pumping. I feel like this feature could be confusing for new moms as the Medela PIS has much easier controls. When I pumped with the Ardo Calypso, at first it was confusing to set up, but there are so many helpful videos on YouTube to assist with using the pump. I did notice that once I was set up, I pumped about the same as I would have with my Medela PIS. The suction didn’t seem as strong at first, and I had it cranked to the maximum setting, but after the pump “warmed up” I noticed the suction was better. Figuring out my personal expression cycle took a bit of trial and error as well. I did yield about the same amount of milk as my other pump for that time of day. One con that I noticed is that the power cord is about a foot shorter than my other pump…not a deal breaker, but it was noticeable as I had to sit slightly closer to the outlet when I was pumping. Also, when fully put together, the bottles/flanges felt a little heavier than the Medela set up – for double pumping, a hands free bra would be needed – as there’s really no way to adjust the suction/cycle if you’re holding the flanges to your body. As with other reviews, the material of the tubing does cause dust and hair to stick to it, but again that’s not a deal breaker for me. As this pump is not readily available in the U.S. yet, I believe purchasing extra parts (bottles, flanges, etc.) can only be done online – I did not see any Ardo parts at my local baby retailers. I would like to try the soft optiflow inserts to see if they did help with milk production, but they are not included in the insurance package. In conclusion, this is a great pump – I will likely use it more often when my maternity leave ends and I’m back at the office – the quietness of the pump will allow me to pump while taking calls - and for a working mom, that is a pretty big deal. Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for sending me this breast pump to try and review! — Cindy M.
An amazing pump, quiet, gentle, yet very efficient, especially with the soft massage inserts. Once I went through the quick guide, the pump set is easy to put together. While it does not have a letdown button, I could easily adjust cycles and vacuum once milk started coming in. Plus the bag is sturdy & versatile. — Nai Pereira
Feels great - This pump feels realistic, it provides a pleasant pumping experience. — Realistic Feeling
Best pump yet! - Bought this pump sealed in box from a friend, and boy am I glad! It's definitely quiet. For 4 months now I've used my spectra brand pumps and there had to be something better! I found this Ardo set and I've used it 4 hours a day since it was delivered! Virtually no pain, my breasts have recovered from damage from my other pumps, and it empties in half the time! 5 stars! — Pumpinmama
Highly reccomended - This is the best product on the market. Any mother who tries it will choose it over the other pumps as it is so customizable for the comfort of the user with 64 different setting. It's so quiet it can be used anywhere anytime. and the peace of mind knowing the closed system prevents contamination of the pump an tubing is an extra benefit. — DME company
Amazing kit - This kit is everything ! I love the green color and the shape of the bottles . the bag holds everything ! And the pump is pretty amazing too! So glad I got this — Kim
These work great and I highly recommend them! — Julie
Worked great to help heal nipples from my teething daughter. Loved being able to stick a few in my cooler to bring to work and use after each daytime pumping session. — Amazon Customer

Highly Recommended - The family of Ardo pumps are the finest available breast pumps on the market today. Ardo has considered the need for effectiveness, a quiet, closed system, as well as a choice of flange sizes. With the Swiss design and manufacturing, choosing Ardo means that mothers finally have a pump that out shines every other. Ardo is perfect pump for every mother. — Kathleen Huggins, R.N., M.S., IBCLC -- Author of "The Nursing Mothers’ Companion”
Great nursing pads. I’m fighting an over supply so I leak quite a bit at each feed. These odd have a plastic coating on the back even when they are super full they don’t get my shirt wet. I have tried a ton of pads and these are some of the best, no leaks, stay put, don’t look weird in my shirt :) — Kristi
Whereas most breast-pads absorb liquid and swell like a diaper, to an uncomfortable fitting, these slim fit ones are perfect for day and night time use without the fuss. Even after leakage, they are still comfortable to wear. The best part is- you don’t have to buy specific ones for day and night; these do both. Not only does it save money, but the convenience of the design working to deliver the end goal is great!! — Shannon Lamaestra
After using several types of disposable breast pads, I found these to be the softest and most comfortable to wear. They are absorbent, even overnight. I liked how they were shaped to fit you and were comfortable to wear all day. The adhesive to stick to your bra didn’t hold up all day for me and caused some bunching so I tended to just place the pad in the bra without using the adhesive to avoid that. — Pkbudny

We love how affordable these storage bags are! They’re a daily use in the home while we pump and breastfeed for our newborn. We actually order 2 bags every other week because of the output we have. We love how easy it is to notate the date, time and amount of milk we store in the bag. We haven’t had any cons—no leaks. And i love hat the bag is sterile with a seal to break before using. Helpful Report abuse — Jerrick Guerrero
These bags are a harder plastic, very similar to the medela milk storage bags but considerably smaller - they still hold up to 6 oz but there’s less excess plastic so I don’t know if you’d be able to pump directly into them. It’s also pretty hard to freeze over 3 or 4 oz flat if you plan to brick frozen milk. Over all I think the bags are good quality and I like that they are a little smaller and narrower because it makes it easier for me to store them. The measurements on the bag also seem to be pretty accurate when you hold the mouth of the bag open to measure. — Hmeye909
Ordered the set of two Ardo Hands-Free Collection Cups and find them powerful, comfortable and effective. I appreciate that they are so discreet, hold 6 ounces, easy to clean and have good suction. The price point is very reasonable for the quality of these collection cups. So glad I ordered! — The Concrete Jungle
I’ve been using my Ardo Allysa with the collection cups that came with it and I love it. It’s just that these I have to wash them all the time. This spare cups lets me have more time for myself because I don’t have to wash my breast pump parts all the time. It’s the exact cup as the one that came with the pump and has extra string too for my machine pump. Very easy to clean and has a lot of space for milk specially for new breastfeeding moms who are pumping too. Love these! Life saver! — Ayhesa
This is one of the best put together collection cup packages I've seen. The instructions were phenomenal - clear and there was even a video you can watch. The duckbill has an arrow to help you line it up properly. It was also a nice touch to include a 19mm silicone insert. This collection cup is also compatible with other silicone inserts sized for 24mm flanges if 19mm isn't quite the right size. The measurements for the cup align to when you have the cup set down horizontally, which is a lot more useful than other cups' vertical measurements. Everything seals well. I really appreciate the care that went into producing this. Full disclosure, I do not have an Ardo pump so I used this with my Spectra S1 and the thinner tubing. This collection cup wasn't very effective for me as I got less than half my normal output in a 15 minute pump. Also the depth of these cups on top of my chest was really awkward; a shallower collection cup would have allowed me greater freedom of movement. In a pro for this cup, I had no milk leakage even though I had a hard time getting it to seal properly on one of my breasts. (This style of deep hands free collection cup doesn't seem to work well with the shape of that breast.) Overall, this is a nicely packaged, nicely made collection cup that should work well if this style works for your body. — R.P.
Most collection cups are shaped like the hakaa and are bulbous. This is completely different and seems weird at first. However it is gentle on the skin and works well. Once you get the hang of wearing it, you realize just how nice it is. The material is soft and comfortable to wear, the cup is easy to empty, and very easy to wash. — Kristen
This is very useful to catch the letdown milk on the opposite side while breastfeeding. Nice material, fits in bra. Great idea. — Christina
This was exactly what i was looking for. I place it in my nursing bra to catch milk from a letdown while im nursing my baby on the opposite breast — Mara
Great replacement parts. The price was a little higher than I would like. But worth the money when it comes to replacement parts for your pump! — Karen
Does the job. — Matt
