Think high suction power equals a better pump? Think again.

We understand the pressure of choosing the right breast pump NZ for you. Whether you're a first-time mum or a seasoned lactating veteran, the market is full of confusing specifications. Here's a fact you need to know: suction strength isn't the only key element. The comfort, efficiency, and smart features of a pump make all the difference to your overall milk supply and pumping journey.

At Breastfriend, we celebrate every step of your journey. Our double pump, The Breasties, is engineered for both comfort and superior milk removal. We ensure you have support as you move through your day—yes, completely hands-free! We're here, pumping with you, every gentle, quiet, and efficient step of the way.

Why Suction Strength Alone is Misleading

Many companies focus on a high maximum suction number to sell their pumps, but research shows that painfully high suction does not equal more milk. In fact, it's often the cause of the common problems we hear about: painful pumping and even nipple damage.

The key to efficient and comfortable milk expression is a combination of cycle speed and vacuum (suction) that effectively mimics your baby's natural nursing rhythm—delivering maximum strength only when it’s gentle and needed.

Introducing The Breasties: Hospital-Strength Power Meets Hands-Free Freedom

Brought to you by an exclusively pumping mum in New Zealand, The Breasties isn't just another pump; it's a solution to the most common pumping problems faced by mothers. We focus on true efficiency and unmatched support.

The Breasties delivers the same high performance as those very bulky, expensive wired units, but in a completely wearable, discreet package.

Unique Features That Make The Breasties Stand Out:

  • Optimal Hospital-Strength Power: The Breasties offers 300mmHg suction—the proven optimal level to efficiently empty the breast without causing pain. This is the same strength found in traditional hospital pumps, but engineered for your comfort and convenience.

  • The Completely Hands-Off Auto-Mode: Say goodbye to fiddling with buttons! Our unique auto-mode is designed to manage the entire pumping process for you, automatically transitioning between stimulation and expression phases. Just switch it on and let The Breasties do the work.

  • A Quiet Solution for Discreet Pumping: Tired of that loud, distracting motor? The Breasties operates with minimal noise, making it perfect for office pumping, expressing while your baby sleeps, or simply enjoying a quiet moment.

  • Pumping in the Dark? No Problem! The built-in night light feature ensures you can manage your settings and connect your parts easily during those late-night or early-morning sessions without waking up the whole house.

  • Designed for Your Comfort: We understand that every body is different. We solve the problem of limited sizing by stocking flange sizes from 13mm up to 27mm, ensuring you can find the perfect, pain-free fit—even if you have smaller nipples.
