The Elvie double electric breast pump is widely praised by UK parents for its compact, wearable design that allows discreet, hands-free pumping. Many find the app-controlled suction and milk tracking features useful. However, the high price tag is a major drawback, and some report compatibility issues with certain nursing bras and clothing. Overall, it's a solid choice for those who can justify the cost, but may not be ideal for all situations.

Tips from parents
Try the Elvie in-store if possible to ensure the sizing and fit work for your body and nursing needs.
Check if your health insurance or employer offers any discounts or reimbursement for the Elvie pump.
Experiment with different suction levels in the app to find the most comfortable and effective setting for your pumping sessions.
Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper cleaning and sterilisation of the Elvie's parts.
