I've heard wearable pumps aren't strong enough?
I've heard wearable pumps aren't strong enough?
That's because not all wearable pumps are Breasties ...and they are strong! Independent testing confirmed they perform just as well (not to brag but usually it's better) than pumps plugged into the wall. They have hospital grade suction, up to 300mmHg if we want to get technical.

I'm an exclusive pumper, is this right for me?
I'm an exclusive pumper, is this right for me?
Sure is. As the Founder (Marie-Claire) was one too, and that's how Breastfriend started. Breasties will give you your life & mobility back.
But shouldn't you start with a single pump to save money?
But shouldn't you start with a single pump to save money?
You could... but like so many of our customers who buy a single pump first that doesn't work efficiently enough, they realise that as a new mum, more time is the real gift.
Aren't all wearable breast pumps the same?
Aren't all wearable breast pumps the same?
Most of them are white and round, sure. But they're very very different, Breasties have a night light, hospital grade suction, come in a double set, have 9 levels, 4 modes, and have 12 flange sizes available.

What's this pump made of? Are these materials safe?

The Breasties are made with BPA-free, good grade materials and are safe to be used from birth. There's no gimmicky bluetooth either, so your baby and your milk aren't exposed to radiation.
When do the pumps go on sale? Is there a first time customer discount code?

How do you compare to the $600 black breast pump from *redated*?
How do you compare to the $600 black breast pump from *redated*?
There's a few objective comparisons when it comes to them vs. Breastfriend:
- our suction strength (300mmHg) is higher (theirs is 290mmHg)
no night light on theirs - warranties = the same
- both have long flanges to accomodate elastic nipples
- battery life on Breasties is longer, minimum 6 sessions, whereas theirs is 4-6 sessions
- flanges, we have 12 sizes, they have 6
- replacement and maintenance parts are 2 x the price for theirs
- both have 4 modes, however Breastfriend has 9 levels, theirs has 12, however we are stronger overall
- theirs does not have 365 degree mobility
- Breastfriend doesn't have bluetooth, which is a purposeful choice, due to bluetooth exposing breast milk to low levels of radiation
- Breasties are $339, theirs is $599 - or a $260 difference...
