What are your thoughts on the Wellness 1 pump?! I have a Momcozy M9 that I love, and a Spectra S1 that I hate. I don’t love the cords, I didn’t like having to hold the cups (bought legendary milk silicone cups which are wearable and definitely better), but my output with it just sucks. My M9 output is much better, but my nipples hurt (its a pinching feeling constantly- and only thing that seems to slightly help the pain is adding nipple butter onto the silicone flange inserts, but it still hurts). I bought momcozy lactation massager and LOVE using it while pumping, I definitely find it helps both with pain and milk production. However, if I am up doing things while pumping, I can’t really use my heated massager. I like that the Wellness 1 is an all-in-one, and trying to justify buying a third pump at 3 weeks post partum
Hi! Welcome to the Momcozy community!
I don’t have the wellness1, but if you are experiencing a pinching feeling when you pump, you might need a different flange size. Your flange size can actually change over time.
Have you checked to make sure you have the correct flange size? That will help with the pinching I love my Wellness 1 it has helped me with my milk production. The heat and massage is so nice!
Yeah, unfortunately I am using the right size
I even had lactation check me to be sure
I did, and even had LC check me Seeing my milk increase from the lactation massager alone is what has me sooo tempted
I have not tried the wellness yet, but I do have to say the M9 is the most comfortable pump for me. I use the M5, m9, spectra, Willow, air one , v1/2 pro - people will say there should be no pain, but for me no matter what the problem no matter what the flange size I always have a little pinch, but my solution to that is pumping spray. I have to use pumping spray. It is a godsend for me..
Any specific pumping spray? I use earth mama nipple butter, and originally applied it directly to my nipple before pumping, which definitely helped my pain but hasn’t taken it away. Then I started applying it to the pump, and it doesn’t take away the initial pinching, but it does dial back to almost non-existent a few minutes into pumping
I have the wellness one and love it. The massage is more of a pulsing vibrate but I’m fine with that. The flanges are super soft silicone - almost like a phone case if you know that material I’m talking about. Really soft and smooth. I love it. If I could put those flanges on the air 1 I’d be so happy 
I have the m9 too which I still use. Def keep using the earth mama nipple butter on the pumps. I do the same. I actually stopped usong that and started using olive oil!
I use boobie spray! I love it. I hope it helps!!
Thank you!
Oh I didn’t even think about kitchen oils! I bet they are cheaper and honestly a little faster. I am definitely trying to help both my discomfort but also make things more efficient so he’s not waking my husband while I’m on my shift at night
Oh okay! I hope you are able to find the solution
