Safe vs Unsafe Chargers for Your Breastie 1.0

SAFE:

  • Output clearly says 5V only (e.g. “Output: 5V ⎓ 1A”, “5V ⎓ 2A”, “5V ⎓ 3A”)

  • Standard phone chargers (non–fast charge)

  • USB ports on laptops or PCs


UNSAFE:

  • Output lists any voltage higher than 5V (e.g. “5V / 9V”, “5V / 12V”)

  • “Fast charge” or “Quick Charge” adapters

  • Power Delivery (PD) chargers for laptops, tablets, or high-speed charging

  • UE BOOM or other speaker chargers that list 9V or 12V

How to check: Look at the tiny print on your adapter, it will say “Output: 5V” if safe. If it shows more than one voltage, do not use it.

It helps you measure your nipple (not your whole boob!) so you can pick the right size flange — something most pumps don’t tell you.   Why flange fit matters Using the wrong size can lead to: Pinching, rubbing, or soreness Poor milk removal Nipple trauma or blocked ducts The right size? Total game changer. More comfort, better output, less drama.   Designed for Breastie 1.0 Our flange sizes include 13mm, 16mm, 19mm, 21mm, and 24mm — all compatible with the Breastie 1.0. If you’re in between sizes, start small — it’s easier to size up than down. Download it here! We made this nipple ruler so you can stop guessing.
