Yes, the Elvie Breast Pump can leak, especially if you're moving around a lot. The pump is designed to be small, lightweight, and quiet, fitting easily into a nursing bra, which makes it great for discreet use at home, work, or on the go.
However, our research shows that its performance can vary. Many people love its portability, but there's a catch: activities like bending over or sudden movements can sometimes cause it to lose suction or leak.
For example, some found it reliable while sitting in class or driving but had issues when they moved too much.
The Elvie Breast Pump also features real-time monitoring through its app, which most users find pretty handy. However, the app can sometimes need recalibration and may have connectivity problems that can interrupt your pumping session.
So, while the Elvie Breast Pump is super convenient for on-the-go use, it works best when you’re not moving excessively. Making sure it’s properly assembled and fitted can help reduce issues with suction and leakage.
Avoiding sudden movements can also help you have a smoother experience.
