Best Breast Pump: Spectra S1

There are a range of reasons why a mom might need or choose to pump, but they all share something in common: They want a breast pump that is effective without being uncomfortable, unwieldy or obnoxiously loud. It doesn’t sound like much to ask, but it’s rare for a breast pump to check all the above boxes—which is why the Spectra S1 is such a find.

What We Love

• A closed system and backflow protection mean there is no risk of bacteria contaminating baby’s breast milk—and you don’t have any skinny tubing to clean
• The completely customizable suction maximizes your output and ensures pumping is always comfortable, never painful
• A rechargeable battery, compact design and virtually silent motor mean you can pump discreetly nearly anywhere, with the same hospital-grade strength typically reserved for bulkier pumps

Summary

No matter what your pumping needs, the Spectra S1 is sure to not only meet—but exceed them.
