Medela Freestyle™ Hands-free double electric wearable Breast Pump

The BubsNest Verdict

This wearable pump delivers genuine hands-free convenience and reliable leak prevention, but it's louder than you'd expect and lacks basic accessories you'll need to buy separately. Perfect for parents who need to pump while working or caring for other kids, but skip it if you're on a tight budget or need discreet pumping in quiet environments.

⚠️You'll need to budget extra for a pumping bra and additional accessories since they don't come in the box despite the premium price tag.

Solid Choice

The Medela Freestyle Hands-free Breast Pump is a well-designed wearable pump that offers quick and comfortable hands-free use, but it comes at a premium price and has some notable quirks that parents should be aware of.

What parents love

Comfort and ConvenienceParents find the Medela Freestyle very comfortable to use, with lightweight collection cups and a rechargeable motor unit that allows for completely hands-free pumping.

Leak PreventionThe pump is praised for not leaking, as long as the collection cups are properly clicked into place during assembly.

PortabilityBoth the collection cups and motor unit are very lightweight, making the Freestyle easy to wear and transport.

Worth knowing

Noise LevelSome parents find the Freestyle to be quite noisy, which could make it unsuitable for discreet use in an office setting.

SensitivityThe motor unit is described as being quite sensitive, which can cause issues when placed in a pocket or bag.

Lack of AccessoriesThe Freestyle does not come with a travel bag, which some parents may find inconvenient.

Best for

Breastfeeding mothers who want a comfortable, hands-free pumping experience at home
Parents who need a portable, rechargeable pump for occasional use
Those who value customisable settings to find their optimal pumping comfort level

May not suit

Parents who need to pump discreetly in an office or other public setting due to the noise level
Those with limited storage space, as the Freestyle's motor unit is sensitive to being jostled
Breastfeeding mothers on a tight budget, as the Freestyle is one of the more expensive wearable pumps on the market

Tips from parents

Assembly

Make sure the collection cups are properly clicked into place to avoid leaks.

Portability

Consider purchasing a separate storage/travel bag to keep the Freestyle's components organised and protected.

Noise Management

Use the Freestyle in a quiet environment, as the noise level may be disruptive in an office or other public setting.
