Wearable pump recommendations

I currently have the Elvie stride. I have loved it for the past 5 months but lately, it’s wearing down on me. Like it’s become very uncomfortable to wear I don’t know if a new pump will change this. The weight and tightness in my bra feel so top heavy wearing it, even though this is one of the lighter options apparently because the remote goes in my pocket. I do feel like my boobs don’t sit right in it, I’m seeing other pumps with a more softer, boob shapes flange maybe that will help? Also, take 30-45 minutes to empty me which overall is discouraging me and making my journey tiring, wanting to give up. I use a hand pump more than anything lately to take the pressure out of my bra, and it’s quicker I am thinking of the Eufy since it heats up? Anyone use this one? If not I am thinking of the momcozies M5, m6,m9 or the air 1 if I’m convinced it’s worth the money? Any suggestions I’m looking for one without the battery remote, tired of wearing the same 2 outfits with pockets as well.

I use the Momcozy5 and love it, it’s amazing! You could probably opt for one of the newer options but the 5 works great!

I tried the Elvie stride and was def not a fan. Didn’t suction well to me to get the most production of milk. I bought momcozy m6 I believe. It was pretty pricey but it was 100x better and I could be mobile and get work done around the house while pumping. It was great.

I love the Momcozy s12! It has a double-sealed silicone breast flanges which is very comfortable! It empties me very close to what my spectra does. I use it while driving to and from work.

So I actually have both the stride and the eufy so hopefully I can help! The stride is my main at home pump for pumping overnight and the eufy is the one that comes with me to work. With the stride, I find that if it's not emptying me well then it just means I need to replace some parts, usually the duckbills since you're supposed to replace those pretty consistently anyways. For reference, my son is 4 months old and I've replaced the duckbills twice and the diaphragms once on the stride. Have you replaced any of your parts? For the Eufy, I love that it warms and I do feel like that helps me get more milk out but this thing is a bear to clean and put back together. It has more parts than the stride though I imagine the parts are probably about the same as most other wearables. It is heavy in your bra though. I'm not particularly large chested but I do have an oversupply so with both pumps I find myself readjusting periodically to make sure the cups haven't slipped and to check where I'm at.

Also, the stride comes with a little case for the pump mechanism that has a clip on it so can clip it to your waistband instead. I almost always clip it to the waistband of whatever pants I'm wearing or even a bra strap if I need to. Overall, I love both pumps for different reasons. So far I've felt like I've had to troubleshoot the stride more but that's just because I've only been using the Eufy for about a month and I think any pump is going to have a bit of finagling since the parts wear out. I will add though that the shape of the cups for both feels kinda similar, it's just that the eufy has more surface area. Feel free to message me if you want to talk more about it or want some help figuring it out!

@Vanessa thank you for that! Considering it’s heavy in the bra that might be the deal breaker. I’m freakishly large chested 🥴. I’m so uncomfortable with this whole breast feeding journey because my breasts are just too big to get anything done efficiently and I think the uncomfortable just comes with it

I love the momcozy M9 digital pump I love that it has setting I can power through my phone and turn off as well. Hold to rim about 6 oz.
