I wanted to love wearable pumps right away — the idea of freedom sounded amazing. Pump while making coffee? Yes. Pump while folding laundry? Sign me up. But my first try didn’t go as planned.
I started with the Willow Go, which I really wanted to work. It looked sleek and high-tech, but in reality? It was heavy, loud, and just didn’t empty me well. Every session left me half full (literally). It also required using an app to control everything, which I wasn’t into. When you’re juggling a hungry baby and trying to find your phone just to adjust suction, it’s more stressful than freeing.
Before that, I was using the Spectra S1 — the gold standard of pumps. It’s strong, battery-operated, and gives great suction. But it’s also big. You’re still tied to the couch for 20 to 30 minutes, and multitasking is basically impossible. I remember sitting there, completely anchored by tubes and flanges, feeling like I couldn’t do anything else. It works beautifully, but it’s not freeing.
Then I tried the MomMed S21, and it completely changed everything.
Why the MomMed S21 Won Me Over
From the first session, I was shocked. The MomMed S21 got more milk out of me than my Spectra, and that’s saying something.
Here’s what made it an instant favorite:
Small and lightweight – No sagging shirt or heavy feel. It’s discreet and easy to wear anywhere.
Quiet – I’ve pumped around friends and in public, and no one noticed.
Strong suction – It fully empties me every time, comfortably.
Affordable – Cheaper than most wearable pumps, but works better.
Comes with everything – No hidden parts to buy later.
And maybe best of all: I could feed my baby while pumping without it getting in the way.

- Strong suction
- Affordable price

The MomMed S21 completely changed my pumping experience. It's lightweight, quiet, powerful, and actually empties me better than my Spectra S1. I can pump while feeding my baby, cooking dinner, or running errands. It's the only pump I reach for now.
My Routine
The MomMed S21 is my primary pump now. I use it at home, in the car, and even out running errands. I pump while feeding her in the morning, during nap time, or while cooking dinner. The battery lasts through multiple sessions, and it’s so quiet I can talk, text, or even have people over without anyone realizing I’m pumping.
Cleaning is simple, the parts are minimal, and setup takes seconds. It makes pumping feel easy — something I never thought I’d say.
Looking Back
I wish I’d found the MomMed S21 earlier in my pumping journey. During those early newborn weeks, when you’re constantly feeding, burping, and then pumping again, it can feel like your whole day revolves around milk. The Spectra S1 does its job, but being tied to one spot for 30 minutes at a time can make you feel trapped.
If I’d had the MomMed S21 back then, I think it would’ve helped me mentally — giving me back a sense of freedom in a season that can feel all-consuming.
Now it’s the only pump I reach for. It’s lightweight, quiet, powerful, and truly makes pumping feel less like a chore and more like something I can manage on my terms.
Sorry, Spectra — you’ll always be the classic, but I’ve officially moved on.
