The Whittlestone Breast Pump / Expresser

See - www.whittlestone.com. The Whittlestone "expresser" technology first appeared towards the end of the 1960s and over the years its design has been tweaked and adapted to keep pace with modern times.

Breast pumps typically use a vacuum to draw milk from the breast, an expresser on the other hand instead relies on a soft massaging action to encourage milk production. Thanks to the gentle compressions and pulsations, and the one way movement of air; Whittlestone have managed to produce a unit that effectively mimics the sensation of a nursing infant. This "breast pump" is therefore great for first time users and for mothers who have overly sensitive nipple areas.

The expresser unit itself is perfect for both long and short term use, and for those times when mothers find themselves away for extended periods of time. But the real magic of the Whittlestone "breast pump" lies in its breast cups. Each cup (or shield as they are sometimes known) has a built in "cushy" lining, which is almost flesh like, that softly and steadily massages the area behind the nipple to encourage milk flow.

All units come complete with a tote bag which conveniently stores the whole starter kit:

• 2 bottles, 2 connectors, 2 filter caps, 2 washers, and 2 cups
• 1 Vacuum-pulsation tube
• 1 Adapter
• 2 bottle holders and covers
• Cleaning Brush

In total this all weighs just over seven pounds, making it ideal for travelling. Each model comes with a welcomed 3 year warranty.

The only possible grievance that mothers might have using the Whittlestone expresser is that sessions seem to take longer than those experienced using other breast pumps. However, the comfort and natural sensation it provides more than compensates for this.
