S1 Plus

Loves their Spectra S1 and notes it was the same price as the S2 at their local Target.

“Right now the spectra s1 is the same price as the s2 at my local target. I would check yours out too. Love my s1”

Uses low vacuum levels on the S1 and still prefers it more often than a stronger pump whose battery lasts about three sessions.

“vacuum level 1 for stimulation / 3 for expression on spectra s1) and it honestly was shocking when I first started using the baby buddha. But I just went on”

The S1 was their go-to until they tried a Baby Buddha, which emptied them better and faster.

“My Spectra S1 was my go to, but I eventually got a Baby Buddha for travel, and when I got home any time I traveled, I found myself choosing it”

Gets the same output from the Spectra S1 as from a Medela Symphony, pumping a bit longer, and finds its suction stronger.

“I did get the Spectra S1 pump recently and have also tried the Momcozy s12 pro wearables, and they're just not as good. With the Spectra I am able to”

Exclusively pumped a year on the S1 with daily clogs and pain, and it still worked fine when they finished.

“I exclusively pumped for a year for my son using a Spectra S1 (not by choice, he never got the hang of nursing and couldn’t tolerate formula). I had daily”

Says a Momcozy M6 matches the Spectra S1's output, so they no longer use the Spectra because it is less convenient.

“it gives me the same output as my Spectra S1. So I now no longer use the Spectra, because it's just not as convenient.”

Exclusively pumped about 10 oz a session on the S1 and got half that from wearables, so stuck with the S1.

“I bought the spectra S1. I know it’s not a wearable, but it helped as I ended up choosing to exclusively pump (after wanting to exclusively breastfeed). My anatomy did”

Uses the Spectra S1 at home and says a Momcozy M9 they use at work gets similar output.

“I have a spectra S1 for at home, and then I have a Momcozy m9 for work. I really like it! My last pregnancy I tried both the Willow go”

Used the Spectra as a walk-around pump with a pumping bra, but it was annoying and only worked when sitting, so they added a wearable.

“Other people may have had different experiences but in my opinion, no. I have the spectra and for my last kiddo it was my only pump at first thinking I”

Pumped with the blue Spectra while driving to work, doing dishes and folding laundry.

“I did exactly what you described with my blue spectra. I would pump while I drove to work, while doing the dishes, and while folding laundry.”

Bought the S1 on sale and has already used it around the house, but says it would not be worth it without the sale.

“I just bought the s1 from target last week. It was on sale for $40 dollars off. I was going to just buy the s2 because I already have a”

Uses the rechargeable Spectra unplugged so often they have to remind themselves to charge it.

“I use it unplugged so much that I have to remind myself to charge it every once in awhile. Definitely go for the battery.”

Prefers the S1 over the S2 and pumped in the car on a ten-hour one-way road trip without being plugged in.

“There are a lot of reasons why I’d prefer the S1 over S2 but the one I’ll highlight here Is that we just took a 10 hour one way Roadtrip”

Moves around the house with the S1 while pumping, though it is not subtle, and says the extra $45 is well spent.

“YES VERY. I do a lot around the house while I’m pumping and bring my pump along with me. It might not be the most convenient or subtle thing but”

Owns both the S1 and the S2 but only uses the S1, pumping in the car, while washing dishes and with a newborn in a carrier.

“I have both. The S1 is the only one I use. I can pump in car, pump and wash dishes, I also found a way to pump while my newborn”

Moved from a Spectra 2 on the couch to the S1 with a toddler and now does chores and car trips while pumping.

“Had the Spectra 2 with my first, was stuck on the couch with an extension cord. Have Spectra 1 currently with my second. I am so glad I upgraded this”

Says the S1 is so worth it, walking around the house with it instead of being tethered to a wall plug.

“So worth it. I’ve walked around the house toting my S1 before. And also I can pump anywhere in the house and don’t have to be tethered to a walll plug”

Paid $100 to upgrade to the S1 and still found it absolutely worth it.

“I had to pay $100 to upgrade to the S1 and it was still absolutely worth it.”

Paid about $50 after insurance for the blue Spectra and likes not having to stay plugged in.

“The blue one is a little more and I had to pay like $50 after insurance but it’s nice bc you don’t have to be plugged in all the time.”

Calls the Spectra S1 the best, far better than the Medela hospital pump.

“Spectra S1 is the best! Medela hospital pump SUCKS”

Writes that they love their Spectra S1 pump.

“I love my Spectra S1!”

Absolutely loves the Spectra and bought the blue one again for baby number two.

“I absolutely love the Spectra. I've never heard of anyone not loving it (IRL). Sorry it didn't work out for you, but I hope this doesn't deter others from trying”

Wearables never emptied them like the blue Spectra does; adding flange inserts made it even better.

“Wearables just don't empty me like my blue Spectra does. Add on the legendairy milk flange inserts and it's chefs kiss.”

Loved the blue Spectra but had to accept being attached to the pump; wearables gave blocked ducts.

“I loved my blue spectra, and just had to deal with being attached to the pump.”

Nine weeks postpartum and mostly uses the Spectra S1, noting its battery makes it workable on a road trip.

“I’m 9wpp, I mostly use my Spectra S1 but recently have found having a manual (Medela) is helpful - I relieved some engorgement in the bathroom at a restaurant so”

Uses a Spectra S1 at home alongside a portable pump and says both have worked fine at almost eight weeks postpartum.

“I have a spectra s1 and zomee fit for portable and they’ve been working fine for me. Almost 8 weeks pp”

Got nothing from the Spectra S1 or a hand pump in the first days, only hand expression worked, then switched to the Spectra once milk came in.

“got absolutely nothing with either the Medela hand pump or my spectra s1. Then I would go to hand expressing and get enough colostrum for my baby.”

Really likes their Spectra S1 but added a wearable for overnight relief once the baby slept six to seven hours.

“I have the S1 and really like it. But I also got the momcozy m5 since baby (7weeks) is sleeping 6-7 hours at night and I need to pump during the night to relieve pressure.”

Primarily uses the Spectra with the battery, which they say they would miss in favour of a manual pump.

“I primarily use my Spectra. I have the one with battery so if I didn’t have that option I would use my manual more”

Calls the Spectra S1 worth the upgrade over a Pump in Style that stopped working well after seven months.

“I have the spectra S1, worth the upgrade! The pump in style worked ok for me, but it was meh compared to the spectra and stopped working well after 7 months of use.”

Uses the Spectra S1 as their primary pump with a Eufy wearable and recommends both.

“I use Spectra S1 for my primary and Eufy for wearables. Recommend both!”

Got the Spectra S1 through insurance and gets about the same output as from two other pumps they own.

“I got the spectra s1 through insurance, momcozy m5 on super sale during Amazon fall prime day, and found a brand new in box spectra s2 at a consignment shop”

Loves their Spectra S1 alongside Medela wearables.

“I love my medela wearables and the spectra s1”

Loves the Spectra S1, used at home, and pumped a year with it for an older child.

“I have a spectra s1 and a baby Buddha. I love them both! I also had a hand me down OG Elvie with my first kid and I think I”

Says the $30 upgrade to the S1 was worth it because not being tied to an outlet saved their sanity.

“Totally worth the $30 to get the S1. The freedom of not being tethered to an outlet is completely worth it. 10/10 highly recommend. Saved my sanity to be able to move around with it.”

Loves the battery option on the Spectra S1; it was a lifesaver during hurricane power outages, and it has many adjustments.

“I love the batter option on it. I don't know where you live, but if you have natural disasters around you, I highly suggest getting one with a battery. I”

Still loves the Spectra S1 from their first baby, only replacing the milk-contact parts after a few years.

“I have the spectra S1 from my first and LOVE it (I just replaced all the parts that touch milk because it’s been a few years”

Recommends the Spectra S1 and loves that it is portable.

“Spectra s1! Love being portable.”

Uses the Spectra S1 as their primary pump with a wearable for mobile and power-pumping sessions.

“Spectra S1 primary and Ellie (NOT Elvie) for mobile/wireless pumping & I prefer my Ellie for power pump sessions”

Walks around while pumping with the Spectra S1 hanging from a good pumping bra.

“I can walk around while pumping with my spectra s1 in hand. I mainly sit in bed but if I need to grab something it holds really well as I walk around.”

The blue Spectra charges so they move about the house, but it is too heavy and bulky to bring to work.

“I have the blue spectra that charges so I just move about the house. I also have the mommed wearables that were recommended to me by a coworker that I”

Very happy they paid extra for the Spectra 1, pumping in the car, in bed and while watching the baby play.

“I am so so happy I spent the extra money to upgrade to the Spectra 1. I’ve pumped in the car, in bed, on the couch while watching the baby”
