Boon TROVE Silicone Manual Breast Pump – Hands Free Breast Pump – Passive Breast Milk Collector Shell for Newborns – Breastfeeding Essentials – 1 Count

Comfy and simple milk catcher
This milk catcher is a no brainer for every nursing mom and should be a staple to anyone who does not want any liquid gold to goto waste. I used a haaka for my first baby, and while it did the job of catching, it was bulky and falling off constantly. The Boon milk catcher is discrete and comfortably fits inside your bra while nursing your babe on the other side. I was amazed that I was catching 3 ounces that would otherwise had been soaked into my bra or nursing pad. 100% recommend.

WHY it met my needs!
My “situation” and “why” I needed this. You can skip down to to my “why” if you want.Situation- I’m an exclusive breastfeeding mama. Let me tell ya… I have some serious forceful letdowns. To prevent my new baby from gulping and choking on my milk I primarily side lay to feed at home and when we’re out I layback feed baby in the car or on friend’s or family’s couch. The side that baby is not being fed when feeding baby always squirts. Especially when I’m having these letdowns. I’ve drenched many pads, leaked through clothing and have had to stuff a burp cloth in my shirt to soak up the milk.Why (and pros) – Well there are SEVERAL of reasons why I am so thankful for this product!1. Again, I primarily side-lay to feed my baby. The Hakka suction cannot withhold my milk when I am laying sideways. It’d pop off if I tried laying with it. Also my baby’s reflexes kicks it off when simply sitting up.2. I am thankful for this milk catcher to be a passive “suction.” I don’t need my milk jugs being actively suctioned when my baby is going to be feeding on of both side. I just need the squirts/dribbles captured to save me from being wet and messy. (Plus I can store the extra in the freezer for mixing in with my baby’s food when baby is ready for that).3. I’ve read that other milk catching cups have vented holes and would leak if you were to lay down with it. This cup doesn’t have a venting hole so my milk is protected inside until I’m done feeding my baby and can store it away. It the cup can “stand” on the table when you’re not ready to put the milk away immediately. And when you do transfer the milk, it’s suuuper easy to pour it into a milk bag.4. I bought 2 so that I can rotate in the mid of night, less need to wash often. Also if we’re out and baby isn’t ready to feed yet and my letdowns are coming on, I just pop them into my nursing bra and boom! More milk for storage and no messy-wet shirt!5. I appreciate the travel bag that it comes with.6. It’s silicone and safe. I don’t have to worry about plastic overheating or melting when I boil to sterilize. I’m honestly not familiar with boiling plastic bottles and such because I haven’t needed to bottle feed my baby yet. I’ll get to learning about that if or when I need to pump.7. I bought this because of another mom’s testimony on side laying to feed her baby and this worked for her so I took her word on it, as I was getting desperate. So credit goes to her for sharing! If you’re reading this and have the same/similar situation, don’t hesitate… buy it today.Cons-1. Because it’s silicone, it will attract some lint/dust. So far it hasn’t attracted any on the inside of the reservoir or the chute, just the outer part of the shell. I think this just happens when my house it too dry and staticky! And right after it’s been sterilized. However after regular washings the dust/lint issue is very minimal.2. The shape of this cup (top half) doesn’t look stealth at all. But for me, I could care less. If you’re trying to be in stealth mode in public, you may want to maybe apply a bra pad or something on top of the shell.3. There’s not a “stopper” on these cups if you’re trying to temporarily store your milk. This isn’t a con for me personally. If anything it’s a pro because it keeps the cup lighter and simple. I just bring my storage bags with me and take care of it right away, rinse my cup with a bottle of water and put away my cup.All in all I give this a 5 star because it suits my needs. I hope this is helpful for you mommies/donors out there! Happy feeding!

Great for collecting leakage, but uncomfortable as a manual pump
These were great for passively collecting leakage, especially during the first two months when my supply was regulating and I’d leak profusely on the side baby wasn’t nursing on. I once collected 5 oz during a feed! They attach well and the suction keeps them attached with minimal bra support, and they can be tucked into a bra under a shirt. They’re reasonably comfortable if being used for passive collection of leaks (way more comfortable than engorged breasts!). However, as a pump, these really hurt my nipples because the suction causes them to pinch. Once my supply regulated and I stopped leaking heavily, I stopped using them in favor of a more comfortable manual pump or electric pump.

Ehhh
After reading reviews I decided to buy this. I already had a haaka and have been using that to collect milk but thought this might work better since it can stay tucked in my bra. However, with the haaka I can usually get at least 2 ounces each time, with this I get barely an ounce and that’s even with creating more suction every so often.

cumplen su funcion

Comfortable, easy to put on, one press last whole feed time. Easy to clean, light. Can stand with milk in it.Elvie one is not as comfortable, two parts to clean, heavier, need to keep pressing multiple times during feed, collects less milk, and when putting milk there’s this release top bit where milk catches which isn’t the best design.Overall Ben Troove is top 👍🏻

First time purchase item…it was a great deal for the price too…glad to know this brand…which i am only able to get only at Amazon…thanks…
