Is an Elvie Breast Pump Right For Me?
Elvie pumps are designed for moms who need a quiet, hassle-free option for expressing breast milk. They can be tucked discreetly away while carrying on with daily tasks, caring for little ones, or taking a much deserved break. Aeroflow offers the Elvie Pump, Elvie Stride, and the Elvie Stride Plus, which are all hands-free options. Let’s take a look at each model in more detail.
Elvie Double Electric Breast Pump
While many pumps can claim to be portable, the Elvie wearable electric breast pump is not only portable but wireless too. The Elvie pump motor, or hub, is connected directly to the breast milk storage container, so there are no external cords or tubes to maneuver around. The all-in-one unit is worn directly at the breast inside a standard nursing bra, yet it’s small enough that it doesn’t get in your way. Four bra-adjusters are included with this pump to help make sure your bra is secure and comfortable to pump effetively.
The pumps connect to the Elvie app via Bluetooth so you can control the pump and track your pumping sessions. The app’s insight feature helps you learn more about your unique pumping behavior. Elvie is rechargeable with two micro-usb charging cables included so you can charge the 2 hubs simultaneously.
You have the option to single or double pump, since each hub can be used independently, so you could pump one side while feeding on the other. Just be sure to assign each pump to a side to accurately track in the app. Two breast shield sizes are included, along with reusable bottles, storage lids, valves, seals, spouts, and carrying bags.

Elvie Stride Double Electric Breast Pump
For moms who appreciate the convenience of a wearable pump but need a higher level of suction, the Elvie Stride is a powerful option. When in the single cup setting, the Stride delivers hospital strength suction. While there is a small hub that sits outside the bra, connected via wires to the in-bra cups that collect breast milk , you can easily clip it to your clothing so it stays out of the way as you move around.
Like the Elvie pump, the Stride connects to an app so you can control the pump directly from your smartphone without having to reach into your bra to adjust the settings on the pump itself. It also provides in app guidance on how to set up the pump, and keeps tabs on your pumping history and milk volume so you can track each phase of your breastfeeding journey. Three breast shield sizes are included for convenience, along with all the tubing and parts you need to get started.

Is The Elvie Breast Pump Free with Insurance?
Most insurance companies will cover one breast pump per pregnancy, so many of our pumps are covered partially or fully. However, wearable pumps like Elvie and Willow are considered upgrade items, meaning that an additional out-of-pocket cost will be required. If you’re not sure what your plan will cover, the best place to start is with our qualify form, which will prompt you with some basic questions we can use to verify your coverage.
Both the Elvie Pump and the Elvie Stride are FSA/HSA eligible, and come with all the parts you need to get started. There is a 2-year manufacturer warranty on the hub and a 90 day warranty on the pump’s washable components.
