The flanges that come with this pump are 25 and 30.5 millimeters in diameter; Lansinoh sells compatible flanges in other sizes.

Yes, it’s a little pricey, but if you have larger nipples and want a breast pump to fit and support your breasts well so that you can pump effectively, then the Evenflo Advanced Manual Breast Pump is ideal. It comes with the standard 24.5mm flange as well as a larger 30.5mm flange, which you won’t find in many other manual pumps on the market. Plus, the pivoting pump handle is easy to hold in either hand and rotates to allow for multiple pumping positions. Pros: Electric pumps offer adjustable suction levels and pumping settings for more comfort and efficiency. They typically allow for double pumping which is a big time saver if you’re in a rush to express milk before work etc. Electric pumps are well-suited for regular or exclusive pumping and can help maintain milk supply over time. With all the manual pumps available on the market, how do you choose between them? Sparks says features you may want to consider include:

The accessories are what set Dr. Brown's pump apart from similar ones. It comes with a Dr. Brown's anti-colic baby bottle with both a storage cap and a nipple (most breast pumps don't include a bottle at all). So you can pump and transfer your milk into the Dr. Brown's bottle, then screw the storage cap on to pop the bottle into the fridge for later, or attach the nipple to feed your baby right away. This set also comes with a travel bag to keep the pump and accessories clean in between uses. As for convenience, this pump is compatible with Lansinoh's milk storage bags and bottles, making it easy to store your expressed milk. And, most importantly, moms say it works very well to extract milk: "I honestly preferred it over my double electric much of the time," says Sarah. "I truly got more milk in less time with the Lansinoh manual."

Annabel: I have also used another manual breast pump and I think the Lansinoh is superior in many ways! The handle is silent and smoother so your hand aches less if you are pumping for a good few minutes. I got vastly more milk using the Lansinoh pump and it is easier to clean.

What is a manual breast pump?

This set comes with a level 1 (newborn) nipple for Dr. Brown's but you can buy other nipples separately if the flow is too slow. To aid in killing possible bacteria, choosing a manual pump that is dishwasher safe can ensure that it is squeaky clean after each use. “Dishwasher-safe pump parts make cleanup easier,” Blankenship tells Verywell Family. “I also like the pumps that come apart to clean. It makes sanitization easier. It's always important to use clean pump parts and storage containers.” If your flange is too small, the nipple will rub or be pinched along the sides of the tunnel. Pumping may take a long time, and your breasts may not feel empty afterward. Your nipples may even be misshapen after pumping—not a good sign!
