This goes beyond convenience and comfort––moms have deserved this upgrade for decades.
Traditional manual pumps haven’t been updated for decades, yet they are one of the most essential breastfeeding and pumping tools. Nearly 70% of all moms choose to use one during their feeding journey. The issue? There’s nothing discreet about an airhorn silhouette. Manual pumping is historically clunky, uncomfortable, painfully slow, and, frankly, obvious. Moms have hated manual pumping––until now. Here’s how Willow Wave is changing the manual pumping game as the first and only in-bra wearable manual pump.
How Willow Wave Compares to other manual pumps
Discretion
Traditional manual pumps require privacy––which, for busy moms, is often in short supply. Moms have to remove their shirt and bra or tent out their clothing in an obvious manner. They hunch over in an awkward, not to mention, uncomfortable position. But Wave is fully in-bra, designed for comfort and convenience, and is discreet enough to pump anywhere, anytime
Mobility
Whether it’s in the airport or between soccer games, busy moms need to pump on the go––and when free time is a commodity, manual pumping outside of the home is not an option: You’d have to remove your clothing and hold the pump to your breast. Can you imagine manual pumping and walking?! We’ll pass. But thanks to Wave's in-bra wearable design and ergonomic handle, you can pump comfortably anytime and anywhere.
Comfort
As women, we’re unfortunately well-acquainted with discomfort: Mammograms, childbirth, menstrual periods, and yep, even manual pumps. They’re traditionally uncomfortable and difficult to use, causing hand cramps and arm fatigue. But Wave was thoughtfully designed for comfort. The ergonomic handle is designed to use however is most comfortable to you, and you can even use it with your non-dominant hand thanks to adjustable tubing. This means more milk, more quickly, and honestly, a much nicer experience overall.
Efficiency
What do modern moms want more than (almost) anything? Efficiency. Due to awkwardly holding a manual pump to the breast while pumping, multitasking––which is mom’s super power––is off the table. It takes seemingly forever to pump, since most manuals only have one mode and, if you want to avoid hand cramping, you’ll need to take breaks. Traditional manual pumps can also be prone to leaks and spills because of their typical airhorn design, allowing milk to drip after your session.
Willow Wave is totally different. It has a comfortable silicone flange, long flange tunnel, modes to toggle between stimulation (for letdown) and expression (to get more milk), and an easy-to-operate ergonomic handle, making pumping fasting and easier to empty.
Conclusion
There’s no contest. Willow Wave is the clear standout when it comes to comfort, mobility, discretion, and efficacy, plus it’s comparable to traditional manuals for portability, ease of cleaning, and price.
