Good but not great!
I tried the Elvie Stride-2 for over a month and this is my review: What I liked about it: - parts are very easy to clean with any normal brush; no weird angles and no need for a special brush. - easy to put the parts together for pumping. - discrete and quiet pumping; no one usually notices when I am pumping unless I tell them. - the box included a nipple sizing tool which I thought was handy; there were also different sizes of nipple inserts which means you wouldn’t need to buy them if you need one. - the breast shields are made of silicon. - the box and the pump in general look fancy if looks are important to you! - the battery allowed me to pump continuously for over 2 hours on level 1 suction which provided good stimulation for milk production. What I didn’t like: - I initially found the nipple inserts uncomfortable and didn’t like the fact that I needed an insert for average size of 24mm; but to be honest with time I got used to the feeling of the inserts and they no longer bothered me. - as an Elvie stride double user, I was hoping the hub would be improved but it seems to be the same hub only with new tubes, shields and cups. - no difference in the milk production compared to Elvie stride double; and both don’t fully empty my breasts like a manual pump; I always need to hand express at the end to completely empty my breats. - the worst thing about the pump is the milk pouring opening in the cup; I found it very tricky to pour milk out and made a mess each and everytime. I mainly used the pump during day time when out and about, but I can imagine it would be really tricky to pour milk out of this weirdly situated opening at 3 am in the morning! Please also note that after my short period using the pump, one if the cups is now starting to leak. I hope you find my review helpful.

Elvie Stride 2: The Hands-Free Pumping Essential.
As a busy working mum of two, finding a breast pump that allowed me to be both hands-free and discreet was crucial. The Elvie Stride 2 double has been a game-changer. Its hands-free design, quiet operation (I could happily watch Emily in Paris without having to turn the TV volume up & risk waking the kids), and comfortable fit have made pumping a breeze this time around. I can seamlessly multitask while pumping, whether it's working at my desk or tending to my kids...because someone always needs you. I especially appreciate Elvie's commitment to inclusivity and education. The pump's multiple flange inserts & nipple measuring tool ensure a comfortable fit for all breast shapes and sizes, making it a truly versatile option (no more having to replace cushions every 2 weeks and buying several flanges for the right size). Plus, the pump offers hospital-grade suction for efficient milk expression, which is someone else I super appreciate. The accompanying app is incredibly helpful for tracking pumping sessions and setting timers. My only pick up point is that I'd love to see some stats about my sessions e.g. time spent pumping, volume expressed. Essentially, with its long-lasting battery and convenient USB-C charging, the Elvie Stride 2 is a reliable and essential tool for any pumping mum. I've rented hospital grade pumps, spent so much money on other wearable pumps...this has been a worthwhile investment for me. For clarity, I've answered as a natural 32HH.

No leaks!
No leaks, and love that I’m connected ted to the wall mains. I like the warning for low battery on the pump and the lights that show the level of suction. Very easy to use. I did find I had to play around with the pressure and sometimes just had to hold it to my breast to get effective milk flow, but maybe I just needed a different pumping bra. I didn’t get as much milk out as with my other pump but my other pump is not suitable for walking around etc with.

Good pump
The Elvie stride pump was easy to use and meant I could continue doing jobs around the house and looking after my baby whilst expressing milk. I expressed a good amount of milk using the pump. Overall a good pump.

Elvie Stride Vs Elvie pump
I love the Elvie products and would recommend the brand! I have used both the Elvie pump and the Elvie stride. I found the Elvie stride more complicated and difficult to use than the Elvie pump. However, they are both great pumps. My preference is the Elvie pump because it’s so simple and has no tubes making it much more discrete to use in public. I also thought they both had the same level of suction. But, if you don’t mind the tube and plan to pump at home the Elvie stride is great. I have been using Elvie for over a year now and the only negative feedback is that I do think the machine degrades after 8 months. It’s still very usable and it’s understandable that something that’s used on average 6 times a day will degrade but worth noting if you plan to buy it second hand or plan to use it for a second baby. FYI, I have also used the hospital grade Madela pump and found the Elvies had the same suction power.

Lovely little pump
I have using the pump now for over one month and it fits nicely inside my bra. It’s not noisy at all and had friends overnight and they didn’t know I was pumping at all. It’s got a good range on inserts to use and a fab measuring cut out to make sure you pick the right size.

Good and convenient but too expensive
I bought this because I wanted a hands-free pump. It's a good model but not as effective as other hospital grade pumps I've tried (Ardo and Medela). The cups need to be in perfect position for the pump to work well and since the cups are inside the bra I feed like I constantly need to check the position. Also, if the bra is not tight enough, the pump won't work well. I also think that it's quite a faff to get the milk out and spillage do occur.
