Review on 🤱 DIBOLAI Manual Breast Pump: Compact Silicone Hand Pump for Efficient Breastfeeding - Baby Feeding Pumps & Accessories by Pamela Hefton

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Some really great features balanced with some really bad ones

I have mixed feelings about this pump. Despite some serious issues, he's still on my main pump rotation. Advantages: Suitable for Avent bottles and adapters. I used an Avent adapter for my kid bags and it fits great. Lightweight Few parts to wash Extra pillow/massage pad Makes me void very quickly. Seriously, about a third of the time my electric/battery pumps take. Quieter than electric/battery pumps. Breaks down into very small parts for easy portability. The duckbill valve is well made and offers excellent suction. The thick, well-formed diaphragm holds suction well, but lets air in slowly when you hold the handle. 2 grip pressure levels and you can choose which level to attach the grip. , the pad has a sharp silicone edge that will scratch the nipple (I removed this piece after discovering it). Approximately halfway up the flange, the bowl in which the suction membrane is located engages in the space of the flange tube (see 2nd picture). So if your nipple is more than halfway retracted into the flange, your nipple will be pinched from above. This also means that you cannot use flange inserts. Even short ones bend and cannot be used. The purple plastic parts (handle and dome) look cheap. The handle is thin, plastic and uncomfortable. It also feels flimsy and wobbles a bit when you press. Expensive for another brand pump. This pump costs the same as the hugely popular Lansinoh pump at the time of review - $25. If I had a choice, I would definitely choose Lansinoh. It's an efficient pump with some very annoying issues, but it's easy to clean and does a great job of expressing milk. I hope this information was helpful.

Pros
  • Brilliantly made
Cons
  • A number of factors
