I'm quite busty, which I think needs to be considered when making recommendations. I got the PGA intending to use it as my primary and with collection cups for portability. Love the pump and successfully used it as my primary for the last 10 weeks. However I tried it with the freemie and legendairy milk collection cups and had no luck. So I ordered the momcozy m5 and absolutely love it. I get the exact same output with it as with the PGA. Highly recommend. I've been using it significantly more n
"Absolutely love it." Same output as Pumpables Genie Advanced. Busty user who found it works where other cups failed. Uses it more than PGA now. Highly recommends.
I love my momcozy m5. Ive basically stopped using my spectra because i get what i need from the m5, and a couple ounces extra. I only pump about 5-6 times a day and need to charge them every night. There's 4 parts the need to be washed and it comes with different flange sizes which was nice. I've had them for about a month and a half and have had no issues! Keep in mind, everyone has different experiences with the same pumps, so you really won't know until you try it
"Love my momcozy m5." Stopped using Spectra — gets same or more output from M5. 4 easy-wash parts, included flange sizes, no issues after 6 weeks.
I had a Spectra S2 and it was eating up my mental health. I ordered wearable Momcozy's, two actually (M5 my fav and S12) and I meant to use all 3 but _very quickly_ (like probably in just half a day lol) dropped the Spectra and never looked back. I just couldn't. Pumping was already ruining postpartum for me so the wearable option made it at least a bit tolerable. For me, it was wearable or nothing. I know many people can do the Spectra and even make it somewhat portable. I wasn't one of those
"M5 my fav." Saved her pumping journey when Spectra was ruining postpartum mental health. Wearable or nothing — M5 made it tolerable.
I got the Spectra S1 through insurance because it was so revered online, but I HATE it. I ended up getting the Momcozy M5 and much prefer it. I am petite, and the Spectra is SO uncomfortable to pump with and sit comfortably (especially in bed at night). I have to lean forward or it spills everywhere - even with the hands free bra and correct flange. With the M5, I can lean back in bed and it still yields more than my Spectra. In hindsight, I probably would have gone with something a little lig
"Much prefer it" over Spectra. Can lean back in bed, yields MORE than Spectra for her. Specific about petite frame and comfort advantage.
I got the spectra S1 and the Momcozy M5 wearables and love both. If you can only get one I'd recommend the Spectra S1 or S2 since it has better suction and more modes but the wearables are a nice option to have when out and about or if you travel a lot. As a former NICU parent who had an hour commute twice a day to see my baby the wearables were a godsend for travel and I used them more than the spectra while my baby was in the hospital. Plan to use them for work when I go back.
"Love both" but M5 was "godsend" for NICU commute (hour each way, twice daily). Used MORE than Spectra during hospital stay. Specific life-saving convenience.
Momcozy M5. Just like regular pumps, portables work best when you utilize the settings properly ie start with stim, then pump mode increasing the intensity every few minutes. Some folks say they don't work as well but the M5 worked as well as my hospital grade one
"Worked as well as my hospital grade one." Key claim: matches hospital grade when settings used properly. Specific technique advice.
I got the Momcozy M5 wearable one. I love them, I can just pop them in my bra and pump while I do other things
"I love them." Pop in bra, pump while multitasking. Simple convenience endorsement.
I have the mom cozy m5 and I love it
"I love it." 31 upvotes shows strong community agreement. Simple but well-validated.
Mom cozy M9 ---> If I could afford it, that's what I'd get. I have the m5, cleans me out very efficiently. Edit: I exclusively pump due to oversupply so my pump is an extension of my body rn.
"Cleans me out very efficiently." Exclusively pumps with it due to oversupply. Would get M9 if affordable (M5 already working well).
Loved my M5 momcoazy
"Loved my M5." Simple but 5 upvotes. Direct ownership and positive sentiment.
I used my insurance for the pump in style and bought the momcozy m5 out of pocket with my first baby. For my second baby, I paid extra for the Spectra S1 with insurance and paid out of pocket for the momcozy m6. The pump in style was just meh. Output was fine, but it was so noisy and I hated not having a screen to see my settings and there's no timer. The motor also died after 6-7 months of use, so I ended up having to buy another pump. The momcozy m5 was great, comparable output to my pump i
"M5 was great, comparable output to my pump in style." Used for first baby. Bought M6 for second baby (upgrade). Specific about output comparison.
I've used the Medela Symphony since they were born (rent from the hospital). Around 4 months I got a Momcozy m5, and it might not be as strong, but for driving etc I've liked it.
Got M5 at 4 months as supplement to Symphony. "Might not be as strong but liked it" for driving. Honest about limitations while still positive.
I work a job that's fairly active and I don't ask for pump breaks (I know it is my legal right). I use the momcozy M5 anywhere between 3-6 times a day and breastfeed at home. I'm not in love with them, but they have served me well thus far (almost 8 months postpartum).
"Not in love but served me well" for 8 months, 3-6 pumps/day at active job without pump breaks. Honest moderate endorsement for workplace use.
