I've used both 30 and 36 (not sure which is better fit) and I only had issues with the Lansinoh i already had soreness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-on-vacation-should-i-get-a-manual-pump-if-so-what-kind#post-183208 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 11:49:04 +0000 tequiero21 183208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Yoyo: what's considered larger?

I was going to get an electric, but since I'm SAH and its working out so well for me I've decided to save myself the $. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-on-vacation-should-i-get-a-manual-pump-if-so-what-kind#post-183039 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 09:49:15 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 183039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: I just got the lansinoh one and I got 4 oz in 10 min. Not quite what @Mrsdaredevil got but not bad for someone with a low supply! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-on-vacation-should-i-get-a-manual-pump-if-so-what-kind#post-182375 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 19:11:44 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 182375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: I use the larger ones. But I think you would probably be fine with the Lansinoh ... I think it's the women who need the larger shields that would potentially have issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-on-vacation-should-i-get-a-manual-pump-if-so-what-kind#post-181831 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 11:16:49 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 181831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Yoyo: If you don't mind me asking, what size shields do you use with the medela? I have to use smalls and I'm wondering if I should stick to the medela hand pump for that reason alone. Or do you think I'd be ok with either one, regardless of the shield size? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-on-vacation-should-i-get-a-manual-pump-if-so-what-kind#post-181706 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 10:04:47 +0000 Weagle 181706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the Medela, and haven't had any problems with it. Then again, I have nothing to compare it to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-on-vacation-should-i-get-a-manual-pump-if-so-what-kind#post-181190 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 19:48:19 +0000 lemondrop 181190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsdaredevil: I've been meaning to ask what kind you have, since you are the manual pumping pro!</p> <p>I have an Evenflo Simply go- it sucks... and not in the way pumps are supposed to. Something catches in it occasionally, so I can't trust it to work when I need it. I'm looking for a new one to keep in the car for emergencies, since I am soooo over milking myself when the boy decides to go on nursing strike. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-on-vacation-should-i-get-a-manual-pump-if-so-what-kind#post-180834 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 14:31:19 +0000 Nskillet 180834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsdaredevil: you go girl! Manual pumping doesnt work for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-on-vacation-should-i-get-a-manual-pump-if-so-what-kind#post-180825 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 14:28:03 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 180825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the medela and I love it! It is the only pump I have and i am able to pump 5 ounces in 10 minutes. It is working great for me!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-on-vacation-should-i-get-a-manual-pump-if-so-what-kind#post-180771 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 13:48:48 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 180771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: So did I. I was fine with the Lansinoh as long as my nipples weren't sore or anything, but would switch to the Medela if there was any kind of trauma going on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-on-vacation-should-i-get-a-manual-pump-if-so-what-kind#post-180743 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 13:31:40 +0000 autumnlove 180743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Yoyo: Oh no, I need to use larger shields on my Medela! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-on-vacation-should-i-get-a-manual-pump-if-so-what-kind#post-180730 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 13:23:03 +0000 duckduckkristen 180730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the Lansinoh manual and really like it. The manual says it can be used with any standard sized screw top bottle, but I haven't tried it with anything other than the Lansinoh bottles. I saw something online that said medela and ameda bottles are compatible with Lansinoh pumps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-on-vacation-should-i-get-a-manual-pump-if-so-what-kind#post-180728 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 13:21:36 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 180728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used both the Medela and lansinoh. The suction is better on the lansinoh. The only thing better about the medela is that it takes different sizes of breast shields. Also, you can use medela bottles with the lansinoh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-on-vacation-should-i-get-a-manual-pump-if-so-what-kind#post-180686 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 12:53:41 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 180686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: I wanted to get the Medela one so I don't have to worry about getting yet another bottle, but I saw some bad reviews about the suction on it. I was hoping that wasn't as common as it looked. The Lansinoh one looks promising, but then my friend told me she liked her Advent one... too many choices! haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-on-vacation-should-i-get-a-manual-pump-if-so-what-kind#post-180678 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 12:46:49 +0000 autumnlove 180678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the Medela and I'm not too happy with it- the suction is weak. Reviews are pretty good for the Lansinoh manual pump so I will probably buy it soon!</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Lansinoh-Manual-Breast-Pump-1-Count/dp/B000P9TK0W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1339004767&#038;sr=8-1" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Lansinoh-Manual-Breast-Pump-1-Count/dp/B000P9TK0W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1339004767&#038;sr=8-1</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-on-vacation-should-i-get-a-manual-pump-if-so-what-kind#post-180667 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 12:42:22 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 180667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're going on vacation in about a week and since we're flying, I'm trying to take the least amount of stuff possible. I usually pump every night before I go to bed, But my Medela PIS is rather large, and I was wondering if it would be a good idea to get a manual pump. </p> <p>Do you use a manual pump? Which kind do you use? </p>
