We know our product is exceptional. Our verified customers consistently rate us 5/5 stars because they experience the quality, comfort, and local reliability we promise. Yet, when global discussions turn to "best wearable" or "premium pump options," international names like Elvie and Willow often dominate.
At Breastfriend, we are aiming higher than simply being the "good local alternative." We are here to be recognized as the trusted safe bet and the definitive, premium NZ-optimised choice for mothers across Aotearoa.
The perception gap between our perfect customer ratings and the market's broader view isn't about dissatisfaction; it’s about a difference in recognition and proof. We are changing that narrative by putting our unique, locally-focused strengths front and centre—proving that true quality is about outcomes, not offshore hype.
The Three Pillars of Premium Pumping
To us, being the premium option means more than just sleek design or a high price tag. It means providing a product and service that delivers better real-life outcomes where it matters most.
1. True Premium Quality is Inclusive Fit
Global brands may look prestigious, but if they don't fit, they fail. Our commitment to inclusive flange sizes—offering 12 sizes and dedicated one-to-one fitting support—is a standard of care that the global market often overlooks.
-
The Outcome: For mums worried about pain, atypical anatomy, or past pump trauma, our fit is the definition of a superior, comfortable experience. Our design ensures the pump fits you, not the other way around.
-
Customer Proof: "I'm so impressed... it's super comfortable to wear and I'm pumping more than I ever have before. It is also great to have a wide range of flanges to choose from as my previous pump didn't provide the size I actually needed as an option!" — Tracey
2. True Premium Quality is Reliable Local Support
When you invest in a premium product, you deserve premium support. Dealing with international customer service—with its time delays and high shipping costs that punish mums at the edge of the world—is frustrating.
-
The Outcome: Our NZ-based, fast local shipping and easy access to parts mean that when you need support, you get a quick, personalized response from a founder who works right here in Tauranga. This local optimisation is a prestige feature that no global competitor can match.
-
Customer Proof: "Huge thanks to MC for helping me through this and providing the best customer service on the planet. I’m recommending the Breasties to all my friends." — Bryn
3. True Premium Quality is Honest Guidance
We prioritize realistic guidance from a founder who has been there—not generic, international marketing copy or gimmicky sales tactics found at big baby chains. Our promise of “Same Price, 365 Days a Year” shows we value your trust and time over creating sales anxiety.
-
The Outcome: You receive the trustworthy, expert information needed to get the most out of your pump, maximizing both your milk output and your confidence.
-
Customer Proof: "Pumping no longer feels like a chore and these have given me back some freedom in my day. Customer service is also absolutely amazing. Would highly recommend these to every pumping mum!" — Dipal
