I have an Elvie and love it. Second time mom and used a spectra the first go around. Happy to answer specific questions. Join this Facebook group!
1 week post partum with number 2. I have the Elvie and it’s a life saver. I didn’t have it with one and so wish I did. My output is about the same as my spectra, I use Elvie all day and then my spectra all night. Def worth it.
I have the elvie. Done nursing now but it was a game-changer as an exclusive pumper. Output was the same as the medela I used with baby #1 and allowed me so much more freedom.
I’m looking to purchase one too, but am scared it won’t empty me fully (and lead to ducts) or decrease supply.
Anyone able to confirm that this didn’t happen?
P.S: the spectra S1 is pretty good on both those fronts for me. Medela freestyle flex gave me the same problem!
Nope it’s much gentler feeling than the spectra. You should do fine! It’s worth the freedom !
I have the Willow and it did give me clogged ducts. Not all the time, but anytime I got one it was when I used my Willow. Definitely loved the convenience and it helped me to continue pumping as long as I did, but I didn’t see as much output as with my Medela.
I used a willow with my second baby and loved it!

I didn’t care for my elvie. I bought that one over Willow because I heard the suction was gentler. It is gentler but I got less than 50% than what I’d get with my spectra. As an exclusive pumper and a just enougher, this would really mess up my supply so I really only used it in emergencies or if I wanted extra stimulation (I’d seriously forget they were in there so that part was good).
