Go - Diaphragm - 2pk -for use with Willow Go Hands Free Breast Pump

I was hesitant to spend money on another wearable pump since I didn’t have much success with the first one I got through insurance. This is my third pumping journey, and I’ve never had issues with output before—so I decided to take a chance on the Willow Go. I am so glad I did! I’ve responded really well to it and have been pumping successfully so far. It seems to empty me very similarly to my blue Spectra. This output was about 30 minutes after nursing on one side, which really impressed me. On top of that, it’s incredibly easy to put together and use, and cleanup is simple too!

Ok so I exclusively pump and I absolutely hate it but I want my baby to have antibodies from my milk at least the first 6 months. In an effort to simplify my pumping and save my sanity I have owned several wearables. Momcozy S12, Momcozy M1, Bellababy, and Willow 3.0. Each one had its pros and cons but I kept searching for the perfect pump. This is it. The S12 had great suction but the motors were clunky and fell off easily. The Bellababy started turning itself on and off after 3 days of use and the shape was weird. The Willow 3.0 was a mess, when I could get it to work right the suction was very strange and I could barely get any milk. I sold this one with a quickness and was reluctant to get anything else from Willow but I'm glad I did. The M1 is my second favorite and closest in performance to the Willow Go but it's very round and protruding and feels clunky so I only use that one at home. However, it does empty me faster than the Willow. I find I have to run a 30-40 minute cycle on Willow and only 20 with the M1 but the Willow is much more comfortable to wear. The Willow Go is the most comfortable pump I have ever used and that includes my wall pumps like the Medela PIS and Motif Duo with cushions. Some people can use the Willow Go as their main pump but I am only 5 weeks PP so that is not recommended although honestly I pretty much use wearables exclusively because working from home with a newborn and a farm leaves you 0 time to sit by the wall for 20 mins. Pros -Relatively quiet compared to cheaper wearables -EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE -Great suction. This thing SUCKS and in the best way. I normally use my M1 and S12 at full suction but with the Willow I use it at 4-5. -Beautiful and just feels premium, fits the breast perfectly and no one can tell im wearing it (as long as they cant hear me) -High capacity cups (holds way more than Willow 3.0) -The parts are easy to assemble/disassemble and clean Cons: -The app sucks, disconnects a lot and doesnt really do much other than show you how long and which setting you are on -Louder than Willow 3.0 but not by much -Takes longer to empty me than other wearables -Battery life could be better, I only get about 2 30-min sessions, but it does recharge pretty quick Overall I would not recommend the 3.0 but I would def recommend the Willow Go for exactly as the name states, on the Go. It's the perfect pump for traveling or completing outside chores etc. just would not recommend as main pump but that goes for any wearable.

I really wanted to like these pumps. I’m so bummed I returned the product within 30 days. Here are my takeaways. Pros 1. When the pumps work, they work really well! 2. Comfortable suction 3. Lots of people say their pumping outputs are decreased with wearables. I was lucky and didn’t see a major decline in amount pumped. Cons 1. If you like using the fridge method for saving on washing after EVERY use, this pump is not for you. You really have to wash the parts after every use for the pumps to function properly. 2. You have to make sure all pump parts are perfectly dried and installed/aligned properly for use. Very sensitive and finicky. 3. Both pumps had broken motors within 30 days of use. I kept them clean and didn’t get them wet. So disappointing. 4. Positional with leaking issues. I know you can’t be super active while wearing the pumps but one wrong twist or minor movement and it gets messy or stops working all together. 5. Customer service was nice and thorough but to get a replacement pump I had to troubleshoot on the phone with them, take multiple photos and videos demonstrating issue, provide receipts, etc. they mailed a replacement pump promptly, but you had to do A LOT to get the replacement. I chose this product because Willow has been around for awhile and this was their best seller. I wish it worked but buyer beware

Easy too use, boosted my babies mom milk production and they keep a digital log of production and pumping times

I was skeptical based on some of the negative reviews I saw but this pump has been truly amazing. I have flat nipples and large breasts so I wasn’t sure I’d ever be able to tandem pump and nurse my baby successfully. However, the gentle suction got double out of one breast what I typically got out of both when hand expressing with a manual pump or my haakaa. It’s also much quieter and more convenient to use than my spectra for overnight pumping. I still use my spectra on a daily basis but not having to worry about the cords and tubes at night when I’m tired has been great. The only drawback to these pumps is that there are so many parts to disassemble and put back together but, once you’ve done it a couple of times, it’s really not that bad. Just make sure all parts are dry before reassembling and then gently tug on the diaphragm before attaching the clear flanges to the back. I haven’t had any suction issues since. Also, make sure to get fitted for proper insert sizes with a lactation consultant for the most comfortable experience since the 24 mm flanges that come standard with the pumps are much too big for most people (I got sized and found out I needed a 17 mm fitted insert). Update: I was having difficulty syncing my pumps to my phone and figured out that if you disconnect Bluetooth the batteries on the pumps last forever. I can now use these pumps throughout the day on one charge which is fantastic since I’m back to work full time. Just a tip for anyone annoyed by the short battery lifespan like I was! Happy pumping!

UPDATED: I used the willow for about a year and I would say that was about its lifespan. You have to replace the pumping parts (which aren’t that cheap) every few months to maintain maximum suction (which isn’t as strong as a traditional pump to begin) and even so I got clogged ducts for the first time because it’s hard to tell when to stop or if you’re empty. They do tell you not to use this as your only pump. My bigger annoyance is that one side stopped responding to the buttons and would turn on/off randomly so the battery was pretty much always dead after it had presumably turned on in my bag and run until it died. For $300+ I just think it should last more than a year. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I’ve been using my willow for about 5 months now and can never go back to any other pump (I previously had a standard spectra, free through my insurance). I pump twice a day, 5 days a week at work and with my old pump would find it so depressing and somewhat dehumanizing like I was an alien experiment or a cow or something. With the willow I’m able to get about the same amount of milk in the same amount of time, but the biggest thing for me is just that I feel so much more secure (if someone walks in I won’t be Completely mortified) and comfortable. Up-sides beyond the emotional feel: - Easy to move around or do simple tasks while pumping. - Can use it in the car on my commute home even! - Start/stop and change speeds with the app easily - Easy set up and pair with phone - Easy to pour into storage containers - Easy to assembly/disassemble and clean - Compact—easy to put in a bag and carry to/from work - Good battery life. I charge them once or twice a week Down-Sides (reasons for 4 star rating not 5): - Will overflow and spill all over if you’re not paying attention (not a big deal but worth mentioning) - One had a phase of being really tweaky. It would start on its own and not turn off. But somehow it resorted itself and it isn’t an issue lately (maybe they did a software update?) - Harder to see when milk is/isn’t coming out to switch to express mode or stop pumping. -Maybe not quite as powerful as standard pumps but hasn’t been an issue for me personally. Overall 10/10 would recommend. 🙌🏼

I’m a new mom of two and life can be busy most days, so needing breast pump container that doesn’t leak was a must and these held up and surpassed the test and doesn’t leak. Made my life easier as a new mom of 2. I’m able to still keep up with my toddler and infant while pumping.

The Willow Go has great suction, sleek design, and fits well in the bra. I love that a person can use it with our without the app. The reason I didn't give it a 5 stars are as follows. First, if you don't have all the parts exactly aligned the suction doesn't work properly. This is probably true of most hands free pumps. The other one I have used in the past also needed to be aligned just right to work. I have also had the pump start out working and then there is a loss of suction noise and the duck bill pushes away from the white part of the collection container and needs to be re-aligned to start working again. This means you have to take the whole pump apart and hope you didn't have any milk started collecting. I have started being very meticulous about putting the pump together, and I haven't had this issue very often since my awareness. The second issue I've had is that the clear breast shield part does not always stay inserted all the way to the pump, and will leak milk out the bottom when a person removes the pump and puts it on the table/counter. It will also leak milk when pulling the pump apart to clean so I do my best to take everything apart quickly and wipe the pump dry immediately. When working properly, I LOVE this pump and am overall pleased with my purchase, however, these are things to be aware of.
