Elvie Stride Breast Pump Valves - Leak Proof, Dishwasher Safe, Food Grade Silicone - BPA Free - Accessories for Pumps & Breastfeeding Essentials - 3 Pack

I was gifted this breast pump secondhand and only needed to replace this part to get everything working properly again, and I’m so glad I found this kit. Once installed, the pump worked perfectly like new. The quality is really solid and well made, and everything fit exactly as it should with no issues. Installation was quick and straightforward, and it does exactly what it’s supposed to do with consistent performance. It restored full functionality to my pump and gave me total peace of mind while using it. For the price, it’s absolutely worth it and a great solution if you’re replacing worn or missing parts rather than buying an entirely new pump. I would definitely recommend this to anyone needing a reliable replacement.

Works great. Has a much better seal than the one that arrived with my pump. The stopper also is more secure.

After 4 days of testing the spectra..vs the Elvie Stride (my opinion - take it/leave it and be sure to test what is best for you)..I am a business owner and in front of a computer all day..so this is for the modern working EP. 1. Output. Down with the Spectra S1 by about 2 ounces compared to Elvie Stride (contrary to what LC told me would happen indicating the only way I will fully empty is with a spectra s1...wrong.. - - remember to always test out what is best for you). Where is there a breast pump testing subscription...lets go Amazon...get this rolling so we can try out breast pumps since there are only about 100 freaking pumps on the market. Goodness. 2. The traditional flanges are not for me…the pumping bra (still can’t get the flanges to be secured in the kindred bravely pumping bra 3. Tubing sucks on spectra - I could not walk around it gets caught on everything and moves the flange from the nipple. So many times this happened to me but I also need to sit my butt down but who has time to be sitting for 30 straight minutes in the optimal position when having trad'l flanges on...! 4. Cleaning - bulky parts - Elvie has less and stores in the fridge with the fridge hack better in the elvie plus bag it comes with..throw the cups in there...and then throw them in the fridge - nice! 5. Discreet - way better with the Elvie cups..these flanges are frankly in the way! I go out for walks with the elvie stride cups, I am on calls, I just look busty. 6. Power/comfortable - Elvie cups are better for me, Flanges are so uncomfortable and I have to haul around that huge power machine 7. Mobile/hands free - could not type- awkward with spectra - I forget the elvie cups are on when typing/working. 8. Sitting position - have to have shoulders back with spectra otherwise milk seems to back up if not leaning forward frequently.. 9. Sound - Elvie quieter 10. Power…I find it to be the same.. the hub on Elvie Stride is powerful..the optimal settings I have had to do is stimulation for 2 minutes..then expression upped from 5-6 on Elvie and now more milk. 11. Charges - more charging on stride, less on Spectra 12. How often - Yield is far better now and always going 30 minutes, with 2.75 hour frequency and by 3 hr mark pumping for 30 minutes…at 25 min my yield goes down and it took me a week to get it back!! My last pump has been at 8pm and my next pump is at 7am and can maintain at this volume with the first pump in morning being a “Power Pump”—google for the cycle..total with rests is 60 min. Earlier the pump the better..if I could just get up earlier like I use to…if I started my pump session at 530a wow the milk would be higher and still a good yield a few hours later. It is lower the later you go in the AM since prolactin is dropping..now that all makes sense why I had good milk yields when I was up with Fred at 1am and 5am! 13. beau cushions work great with elvie stride - more comfortable, too!

I bought this pump after being tired of stationary pumping. I was worried that it wouldn’t empty me very well, but it performed just as good as my medela pump - I know because I tried to manual pump after using the Stride a couple of times to check if there was more to give, and there were just drops. I also read some reviews where people couldn’t get all the pumped milk out, so I do have a tip for this below. PROS: - love being mobile, I can get other things done like eating, washing dishes, etc - relatively quiet, like a phone vibration - battery lasts all day for me, I pump 5x 18-20 min a session, then charge at end of day - pretty easy to clean, only 4 parts (I use the nanobebe electric brush and it makes it quick) CONS: - some things are still difficult but not impossible to do, like holding & feeding baby, and bending over can cause potential leakage - placement on breasts takes some getting used to because it’s difficult to see in the little placement hole (I found this much easier with a bra that has a clip to come down so there’s more light coming through the sides over a sport bra) - takes some practice pouring and getting all the milk out - parts need to be completely dry when assembling which can be difficult washing & pumping every 3-4 hours - when pump switches from stimulation mode to expression mode automatically, it goes back to the middle suction setting, even if you’ve turned it up during expression. I believe this can be changed in the app but it’s pretty annoying there’s no manual way to set this TIPS: - I use the fridge hack and keep the pump parts (assembled but obvs without the motor) in a covered container in the fridge between pumps, then wash my pump at the end of the day. Expressed milk can technically be left out 4 hours, and my 5x pumping at 20 minutes brings me to around 2 hours of the milk being at room temp, so I’m satisfied with that. Not everyone is comfortable doing this (it’s recommended to wash after each use) and I wouldn’t do this if baby were sick and only started doing this after our baby turned 4 months. It does mean that I put on the cups cold, which is not that pleasant, but I prefer it to washing. - To get all the milk out, Elvie has a video taking the pump apart and pouring the remaining milk out that was stuck in the diaphragm. Since I do the fridge hack, I am not taking the pump apart. Instead after doing the initial pour, I make a pumping motion on the diaphragm (basically the same motion the pump makes - see image) to get the milk to come out, then I pour out the rest.

I’ve had enough!! So much so, I am willing to waste my time with an infant by my side and write a review so other new moms don’t suffer like I have. I have purchased this piece of garbage twice!! Yes twice. Because when it works, which is 10% of the time, it works great. The suction is better than my spectra s1. It’s also convenient to care for a newborn and infant with low profile cups. With that said, only because I’m a complete fool did I continue to purchase parts for this garbage every single time it stopped working on me. As other reviewers have mentioned, those stupid little rubber gaskets fail often, and when they do, milk either falls out or you completely lose suction. The company doesn’t sell the rubber gaskets as replacement parts. You have to purchase the top cup part with it, making the whole thing cost a lot every single time you need to replace them. Talk about a rip off. Sometimes when a part fails mid-pump, suction messes up and milk goes into the tubes, and into the motor. This happened to me at least 4 times now in 6 months. If you’re lucky, you catch it before the pump breaks. I wasn’t so lucky once and had to repurchase the entire pump kit. When I received the new pump, the tubes were kinked, brand new out of the box. I reached out to the company and they sent replacement tubes right away. So their customer service wasn’t bad, at least from my experience. As I sit here for the third day, suffering because I can’t get a decent pump, I decided to finally write a review and warn about this thing. I’m currently using just one cup, one breast at a time, because this thing failed on me once again and I can’t tell which piece of rubber is the culprit. I’ve changed out several parts, waiting on the final piece with the gasket to see if that will fix it. All in all, I’ve spent around $1,000 so far servicing this thing and it’s still breaking on a weekly basis. My supply is suffering, my breasts hurt, I am forced to supplement with formula, and I am at my lowest point in my breastfeeding journey because I chose to buy the wrong hands-free pump. Ladies, save yourself the grief and pain. Do not purchase this pump!!!! Listen to the bad reviews. Stay away!! This company should be ashamed of themselves for knowingly producing a sub-par product and selling it to desperate moms who will do anything and pay anything to make sure their babies are fed. This is a disgusting tactic. A very blatant form of the pink tax, where we get shafted because we’re desperate.

I’ve used this 4 times now and have absolutely loved it as an exclusive pumper. I have a Philips Avent and Medela In Style wall pump that I’ve been using but wanted something that was easier for the night pumps to reduce my awake time. PROS: This thing is super quiet - I can pump in bed without disturbing my husband at all. It’s so quiet that I can doze off a little while pumping. It’s really comfortable. I’ve had no pain while pumping and they fit nicely into my bra. Definitely not discrete, but I’m a C cup so I feel like any wearable would make them look comically large. I’m getting the same if not slightly better output from my wall pumps! So, I don’t feel like there’s a trade off at all with the continence of it. CONS: I really wanted something that I could hold my baby with. I CAN with these, but it’s not as comfortable as I’d like. He can easily knock them off if I have him on my shoulder or I have to hold him under them. Now, I might get more comfortable doing it when I’ve had them longer, but for right now it’s awkward. Cleaning it super sucks at 1 AM. I feel like there’s so much to take apart and clean for my next session. I was hoping it would be simpler. I can’t massage my boobs to help get milk out. With my bigger boobs I’ve been having the massage them, especially the sides, to totally empty. Wearing these makes it hard to do that and I ended up with a sore spot (I’m assuming a small clog) that I couldn’t get out wearing this. OVERALL: I labored over what pump to get because they’re so expensive and I was paying for it out of pocket, but I’m super happy with my choice. It’s quick to get on, gives me good output, and is so quiet. I feel like that’s as good as it gets with these things!

Love love love this pump! I couldn’t imagine using anything else! High suction and very convenient! Easy to wash and it hooks to your phone!

Love this!! I pump exclusively for my baby and this is the third pump I’ve tried, so I’ll explain what I love in comparison to other two. I also have the Spectra Gold and the Momcozy M5. My Spectra Gold is great and is somewhat portable when used with wearable collection cups since it has the ability to operate without being plugged in, but it’s still cumbersome to walk around with since it’s heavy and not exactly pocket-size. I got the Momcozy M5 for a more mobile and hands-free option, but those completely stopped working after one week of use (and that’s while switching off with my Spectra too, so it wasn’t even my primary pump). So I then got the Elvie Stride - and I am so impressed. It’s quiet. The collection cups aren’t comically obvious when wearing them, and they’re super lightweight so it’s easier to keep them in place while pumping. It’s powerful enough that I get the same output as I do with my Spectra. The pour holes actually have plugs so I don’t have to worry about milk spilling out if I lean over to pick up my baby while pumping. The app makes setup a breeze, but it also functions without the app if you’re not by your phone when you need to start pumping. There are minimal parts so cleaning is easy. And the hub is small and easily fits in my pocket (or clips to my waistband if I don’t have pockets). This has definitely improved my pumping experience and I would recommend it to anyone who needs a hands-free pump! It comes with a 24mm size shield. You can purchase 21mm or 28mm separately, so if you know you need one of those sizes, go ahead and buy that at the same time because it does not include different size options. (The shield is an entire component of the pump - not just an insert like for other wearable pumps - so it makes sense that they don’t include multiple sizes.)
