For a manual option I used the Tommee Tippee one which was really good, and I used the Spectra 1 pump when I changed to electric. They were both really good, I just preferred the electric so I could do other things while pumping 🤣
I use momcosy s9 wearable pump. I got it from amazon £120 for two but you can also just buy one. Its good as just pop it on in your bra and don't have to hold it x
I’m using the momcozy m5 double I think it is. I’ve just started using it over the last couple of days and have been getting on well with it. Not too many parts to wash and sterilise and easy to put together
I got a relatively cheap one from Amazon that I used with my first baby, as I wasn’t sure how much I’d end up pumping and didn’t want to spend loads. It was called Bella Baby and I think was about £50. I found it pretty good, although I had to buy flange inserts as the standard size it came with didn’t fit me, but they only cost about £5.
If you’re just wanting to ease the discomfort I’d suggest just getting a hand pump. Super cheap, the parts don’t need replacing as much, and you can click/collect from an Argos (or get on Amazon). For convenience, nothing beats a hands free pump. But they are expensive and if you aren’t using it much, could be a waste of money.
I hired this one that I used in the hospital and it’s absolutely amazing https://www.medela-rental.co.uk/
I was just about to ask this question so looking forward to seeing the responses 😊 some of the pumps are crazy expensive!
