Granted, I didn't pump very often as I'm a SAHM but I loved my manual - worked quickly, quietly, and had a lot fewer parts to clean! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-manual-pump#post-877903 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 16:07:16 +0000 LaineysMom 877903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have one, but have only used it once. I don't find it as comfortable as the electric. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-manual-pump#post-877690 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 12:39:14 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 877690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have one but I only used it on vacation or day trips w/o DD so that I didn't have to bring my huge pump with us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-manual-pump#post-877639 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 11:52:45 +0000 katsupgirl 877639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: that's a great idea! I'm paranoid about forgetting something especially with mommy brain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-manual-pump#post-877613 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 11:36:49 +0000 MusicaV 877613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I rented a double electric, then bought a manual... I like the manual so much better. It takes work, but I can go faster. I only pump occasionally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-manual-pump#post-877538 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 10:49:48 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 877538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only used a manual. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-manual-pump#post-877510 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 10:21:11 +0000 sslm 877510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I exclusively use a manual but I don't pump very often and I have a fast letdown so it's super easy!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-manual-pump#post-877465 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 10:02:30 +0000 MrsScallop 877465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have one but I really hate it.

I've only had to use it once that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-manual-pump#post-877420 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 09:22:42 +0000 heartonastring 877420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is eight weeks and I just bought a double electric this week. Up until now I'd been using a manual exclusively. I still use the manual for my first morning pump because it's much quieter and I'll continue to use it when I'm away (e.g. we're going to the cottage next weekend and I don't feel like lugging the electric pump). The manual is just so convenient. It even fit in my purse when we attended a wedding recently! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-manual-pump#post-877378 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 08:39:36 +0000 pl0508 877378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used a manual exclusively while on maternity leave and it worked great and still use it occasionally even though I use my double electric most of the time now ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-manual-pump#post-877314 Sun, 23 Jun 2013 07:09:26 +0000 autumnlove 877314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my double electric but I also use my manual pump a few times a day. I like it because it is fast and less of a production to set up.</p> <p>Do you use your manual pump? </p>
