Introducing the Gen 1 Silicone Breast Pump with ComfortCARE™ Flange Technology — designed to provide gentle, comfortable and effective milk expression.
Made from ultra-soft, food-grade silicone, the ComfortCARE™ flange features four moulded interior ridges to help reduce friction and tugging while pumping. Its flexible design comfortably accommodates different breast shapes and sizes.
Using gentle, continuous natural suction, the pump draws out breastmilk without cords, batteries or noise. The removable stopper fits securely into the pump to help minimise spills when the pump is not in use.
Compact, lightweight and easy to use, it’s ideal for expressing at home or on the go.
1. Prepare the Pump
Wash your hands and all pump components before use. Insert the stopper and ensure all parts are correctly fitted with no gaps.
2. Position
Place the pump flange over your breast, ensuring your nipple is centred comfortably in the neck of the pump.
3. Create Suction
Gently squeeze the base of the pump to create suction and begin milk flow.
4. Express
Once milk begins to flow, allow the pump to do the work using natural suction.
5. Increase Suction if Needed
For stronger suction, fold back the flange, squeeze the pump body and place it over your nipple before returning the flange to its original position.
6. Finish & Store
When you have finished expressing, gently break the suction before removing the pump. Insert the stopper and transfer your milk to a clean, sterilised container when ready.
Wash and sterilise before first use and after each use.
Although dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water and rinsing thoroughly. To sterilise, use a steam steriliser or boil in water for 2–3 minutes.
Only use soft sponges or silicone brushes. Avoid harsh scourers, abrasive cleaners, bleach-based products and sterilising tablets, as these may damage the silicone.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
