Understanding the Technical Differences
Motor Performance & Sound
Both pumps feature quality motors designed for reliable performance, but they operate differently:
- Wearable Pump (≤50dB): The ultra-quiet motor is engineered for discretion. At 50 decibels or less, it's quieter than a normal conversation, making it ideal for pumping in shared spaces, at work, or while baby sleeps nearby.
- Portable Pump (≤60dB): The more powerful motor delivers stronger suction while remaining quiet at around 60 decibels - similar to background music or a quiet office environment. The extra power is perfect for efficient milk expression.
Collection Cup Capacity
Cup size matters for your pumping sessions:
- 150ml Wearable: Holds up to 6oz per side, suitable for most pumping sessions. The compact size contributes to the discreet, in-bra fit.
- 180ml Portable: Holds up to 7oz per side, ideal for longer sessions or higher milk output. Great for exclusive pumpers or those with abundant supply.
Still Not Sure Which Pump is Right for You?
Consider these questions:
- Where will you pump most often? If you need to pump at work or in public spaces, the Wearable Pump's whisper-quiet 50dB motor offers maximum discretion.
- How much do you typically express? If you regularly pump more than 6oz per side, the Portable Pump's 180ml capacity gives you extra room.
- How often will you pump? Exclusive pumpers or those pumping frequently may prefer the Portable Pump's stronger motor and larger capacity.
- What's your priority? If convenience and discretion are key, choose the Wearable. If power, capacity, and efficiency matter most, the Portable is your match.
