[quote=Anonymous]I had an Elvie! I really liked it. I used it all the time for my second baby even though I had two Spectras and knew that the output was going to be better with those. It was just so much more comfortable and convenient.

My tips:
--Get nursing tank tops to use with it. I used the cheaper Bravado ones from Target. This kept the pump tight to my chest and was easier to adjust the straps back to normal when done than a nursing bra. The straps are also thicker and didn't wear out like nursing ones did with all the weight from the milk.
--the way Elvie tells you to put the pump together is dumb. So many women get ZERO output from it on occasion and have no idea why. Well if you google Elvie troubleshooting tips, it's probably because the little green plastic spout gets stuck and you have to clear it from the device. Just attach the bottom first, then snap on the top half, problem solved.
--Beware of movement when they get full. It can leak (I think Willow claims theirs won't?) I used to pour the milk out into a bottle when it got close to the top and then continue the session. If you're driving, this may be a bit more difficult.
