Willow Go - 7oz Reusable Milk Containers with Splash Guard - for use with Willow Go Hands Free Breast Pump

I love this pump for when I am in the go. I have the carrying case which makes this pump more convenient and a quick grab for me. It’s not my primary pump but it does well when I need to pump and am away from home. I have had a couple issues, sometimes the duckbill will almost fuse shut and has led to me getting soaked as the milk just flowed out instead of into the container. I’m not sure what causes this but it’s happened several times. I squeeze the little duckbill to make sure it can open before I put the pump together. Sometimes the flange seperates from the pump, most times I can usually put it back together and still use it, other times I have to get new sets together since I’m not sure what causes it. I have the 7oz containers and it holds that exact amount. Battery is good and holds enough charge for 2-3 pumps. Suction is decent and I can get about the same amount from my spectra. Everyone reacts differently to pumps, the baby Buddha doesn’t get me “empty” and I’d say I prefer willow despite it having a more powerful suction. Spectra is my primary, the willow is my second favorite

My husband bought me this and I didn't read reviews before we opened it. Big mistake.first time mom here, I use the spectra as my primary pump and was sick of being stuck to an electrical outlet all the time qnd for when i return to work. Here's why the willow is totally unusable: 1. Assembly sucks: It has to be assembled *perfectly* to work and even then, it works 33% of the time. I waste 10 mins every time i try to pump just troubleshooting why it won't close correctly. 2. Getting it in position to actually work: j wear a pumping bra but because of the design, you can't see if it's working without stripping down so you better hope you don't accidentally reposition it when you put your clothes back on because if it goes out of position, you wasted 25 mins pumping air. The suction is light so its hard to tell if it's working correctly. This makes it less of a wearable pump and more of a hand pump, defeating the whole purpose of the design of discretely pumping. And yes it is loud. 3. Too many parts: It takes 5-10 mins to wash all the parts thoroughly after each pump. There are 5 parts per side and you can't leave it in the storage receptacle, you have to move it into a bottle. You also have to charge it after 2-3 uses. Which brings me to... 4. Expensive add-ons needed: They don't include the freaking charging base, differently sized flanges, or a receptacle that can hold more than 5 oz. So get ready to spend an extra $40-$50 for the things you need to use the pump conveniently. 5. Return policy: you can't return upon opening. Period. So you're taking a $250-$300 gamble just opening the package. I haven't tried other wearable pumps, it seems that these are common issues so I'm just going to suck it up and use my spectra. Good luck.

This is my second time ordering the Willow Go, and I can confidently say it’s still my favorite breast pump. I’ve tried several others: Elvie, Ameda, Motif, Medela, and even the Eufy S1 Pro, but nothing compares to the suction and overall performance of the Willow Go. While the Eufy worked, my body just didn’t respond to it as well as it does to the Willow Go. I should also mention that I have elastic nipples and this pump along with the correct sizing flanges/inserts have given me the highest output, sometimes more than my spectra. One feature I really appreciate is that it comes with 21mm inserts, which is perfect for moms who need a smaller size than the standard 24mm. That’s something not all pumps offer, and it makes a big difference in comfort and output. I also noticed that this purchase included splash guards, which my first one didn’t have. As a registered nurse working 12 hour shifts, this has been incredibly helpful. I often have to stop and run into patients’ rooms before I’m completely finished pumping, and the splash guards make that much less stressful. Overall, I absolutely love the Willow Go and will continue to purchase and recommend their products.

I absolutely LOVE these 7 oz containers for my Willow Go. As someone who tends to be a bit of an oversupplier, it’s seriously so nice not having to stop and empty the containers mid-session. It makes pumping way more convenient and less disruptive. They’re easy to use, fit well, and just make the whole experience smoother overall. Definitely worth it if you’re producing more and want that extra capacity.

UPDATED: I used the willow for about a year and I would say that was about its lifespan. You have to replace the pumping parts (which aren’t that cheap) every few months to maintain maximum suction (which isn’t as strong as a traditional pump to begin) and even so I got clogged ducts for the first time because it’s hard to tell when to stop or if you’re empty. They do tell you not to use this as your only pump. My bigger annoyance is that one side stopped responding to the buttons and would turn on/off randomly so the battery was pretty much always dead after it had presumably turned on in my bag and run until it died. For $300+ I just think it should last more than a year. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I’ve been using my willow for about 5 months now and can never go back to any other pump (I previously had a standard spectra, free through my insurance). I pump twice a day, 5 days a week at work and with my old pump would find it so depressing and somewhat dehumanizing like I was an alien experiment or a cow or something. With the willow I’m able to get about the same amount of milk in the same amount of time, but the biggest thing for me is just that I feel so much more secure (if someone walks in I won’t be Completely mortified) and comfortable. Up-sides beyond the emotional feel: - Easy to move around or do simple tasks while pumping. - Can use it in the car on my commute home even! - Start/stop and change speeds with the app easily - Easy set up and pair with phone - Easy to pour into storage containers - Easy to assembly/disassemble and clean - Compact—easy to put in a bag and carry to/from work - Good battery life. I charge them once or twice a week Down-Sides (reasons for 4 star rating not 5): - Will overflow and spill all over if you’re not paying attention (not a big deal but worth mentioning) - One had a phase of being really tweaky. It would start on its own and not turn off. But somehow it resorted itself and it isn’t an issue lately (maybe they did a software update?) - Harder to see when milk is/isn’t coming out to switch to express mode or stop pumping. -Maybe not quite as powerful as standard pumps but hasn’t been an issue for me personally. Overall 10/10 would recommend. 🙌🏼

Ok so I exclusively pump and I absolutely hate it but I want my baby to have antibodies from my milk at least the first 6 months. In an effort to simplify my pumping and save my sanity I have owned several wearables. Momcozy S12, Momcozy M1, Bellababy, and Willow 3.0. Each one had its pros and cons but I kept searching for the perfect pump. This is it. The S12 had great suction but the motors were clunky and fell off easily. The Bellababy started turning itself on and off after 3 days of use and the shape was weird. The Willow 3.0 was a mess, when I could get it to work right the suction was very strange and I could barely get any milk. I sold this one with a quickness and was reluctant to get anything else from Willow but I'm glad I did. The M1 is my second favorite and closest in performance to the Willow Go but it's very round and protruding and feels clunky so I only use that one at home. However, it does empty me faster than the Willow. I find I have to run a 30-40 minute cycle on Willow and only 20 with the M1 but the Willow is much more comfortable to wear. The Willow Go is the most comfortable pump I have ever used and that includes my wall pumps like the Medela PIS and Motif Duo with cushions. Some people can use the Willow Go as their main pump but I am only 5 weeks PP so that is not recommended although honestly I pretty much use wearables exclusively because working from home with a newborn and a farm leaves you 0 time to sit by the wall for 20 mins. Pros -Relatively quiet compared to cheaper wearables -EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE -Great suction. This thing SUCKS and in the best way. I normally use my M1 and S12 at full suction but with the Willow I use it at 4-5. -Beautiful and just feels premium, fits the breast perfectly and no one can tell im wearing it (as long as they cant hear me) -High capacity cups (holds way more than Willow 3.0) -The parts are easy to assemble/disassemble and clean Cons: -The app sucks, disconnects a lot and doesnt really do much other than show you how long and which setting you are on -Louder than Willow 3.0 but not by much -Takes longer to empty me than other wearables -Battery life could be better, I only get about 2 30-min sessions, but it does recharge pretty quick Overall I would not recommend the 3.0 but I would def recommend the Willow Go for exactly as the name states, on the Go. It's the perfect pump for traveling or completing outside chores etc. just would not recommend as main pump but that goes for any wearable.

The Willow Go has great suction, sleek design, and fits well in the bra. I love that a person can use it with our without the app. The reason I didn't give it a 5 stars are as follows. First, if you don't have all the parts exactly aligned the suction doesn't work properly. This is probably true of most hands free pumps. The other one I have used in the past also needed to be aligned just right to work. I have also had the pump start out working and then there is a loss of suction noise and the duck bill pushes away from the white part of the collection container and needs to be re-aligned to start working again. This means you have to take the whole pump apart and hope you didn't have any milk started collecting. I have started being very meticulous about putting the pump together, and I haven't had this issue very often since my awareness. The second issue I've had is that the clear breast shield part does not always stay inserted all the way to the pump, and will leak milk out the bottom when a person removes the pump and puts it on the table/counter. It will also leak milk when pulling the pump apart to clean so I do my best to take everything apart quickly and wipe the pump dry immediately. When working properly, I LOVE this pump and am overall pleased with my purchase, however, these are things to be aware of.

Short answer I wouldn’t recommend for large breasts. It’s hard to hold and put in place while also holding your boob. The pump is unnecessarily large to hold in one hand. As expensive as it is it’s a joke you have to buy a separate container to have the cap on it. I only pump 3-4OZ on my better side and have had milk stain my shirt from the opening on top. I’ve been using this pump for about 3 months now and I noticed, even with replacement parts, sometimes it will loose suction. I’m not sure what causes it, but it’s frustrating to have to stain your bra with a lubed nipple to take the pieces apart and put them together again for it to work. If you’re a first time mom looking for a pump I recommend getting one with the milk container sealed at the bottom. I also have the Elvie and it’s much smaller, easier to handle and haven’t had the issue of it losing suction. As for noise it’s noticeable but I haven’t found a pump that isn’t.

I absolutely LOVE this breast pump! As a working mom who spends a lot of time stuck in traffic every morning and evening, this pump has been a lifesaver. It's so convenient and easy to use — I just wear it inside my bra and pump while driving. No wires, no hassle, and it's super discreet. The hands-free design allows me to make the most of my commute without sacrificing my pumping schedule. It's comfortable, quiet, and surprisingly efficient. I honestly don't know how I managed before getting this! If you're a busy mom looking for something that fits into your routine without slowing you down, I highly recommend this pump. Total game-changer!

this pump worked for 1 week, then i reached out to go willow, because i purchsed it off amazon they would not help. I have broght this up with Amazon still waiting for an answer months later

Expensive but well worth the splurge.. I’ve been a mom for 3 years and went through 4 different brands of pump until I found this gem. These containers have little tops so it doesn’t leak when you tilt. A must have

They don’t really work, they leak no matter what, I know they are not 100% leak proof and just splash proof but not even that works, they splash and leak while a just walk.

Not completely spill proof, makes loud noise compared to the open version
