New Product Spotlight - Whisper Wear Hands-free Breast Pump

Sitting in our spotlight this month, we are happy to premiere the incredible brand new Whisper Wear (Single Pumping Kit or Double Pumping Kit) Breast Pump before it even hits the market.

During the La Leche League Physicians Conference in July in beautiful Sedona, AZ this year, we had the privilege to meet the Whisper Wear team to talk about their new Whisper Wear Breast Pump.  The Whisper Wear Breast Pump is the first truly wearable, hands free, professional grade pump.

First of all, the Whisper Wear Hands Free Breastpump is extremely small.  Its' lightweight design allows for the Mommy to insert it underneath her bra without any problems.  It has a soft, flexible cup that molds to the breast for ultimate comfort.  After the pump has been inserted under the bra, a re-usable stem is inserted into the disposable bag and then the stem is inserted and attached through the bottom of the pump.  The design is clever.  After seeing a demonstration, the connection was easy, clean, and the seal was tight.  This design allows for Mommy to have her hands completely hands-free to do other things she needs to do as well.  Since the pump is extremely quiet, those other things could include office work as well.

After pumping, the stem is removed and the easy-tab closure seals designed into the proprietary bag allows for spill-free storage.  The pump comes with a re-freezable cooler pack which can keep the milk cool for up to 8 hours.

One of the things we thought was incredibly nice was the fact that after each use, there are only three pieces to clean and they were all dishwasher safe.  There was no need to clean any part of the pump itself.

The Whisper Wear Hands Free Breastpump was designed by medical engineers and licensed lactation consultants, together.  What a concept!  So, every issue with other breastpumps were taken into consideration.  Here are some of the highlights of the product:

Freedom to move with hands-free pumping

Whisper Wear™ Hands-Free Breastpump is worn under everyday clothing without cumbersome wires or tubing and without having to hold pumps in place.  Mommy can read, walk around - even breastfeed baby - while pumping.

Soft, quiet comfort

Small, lightweight pump has a soft, flexible cup that molds to the breast for ultimate comfort.  The gentle sucking motion and quiet motor provide an experience that feels most like breastfeeding a baby.

Professional-grade performance

Whisper Wear utilizes patented technology that revolutionizes the breast pumping experience.  Advanced features include:

   - Innovative pumping cycle that mimics baby's suck and release patterns to enhance the

     expression of milk

   - Self-cycling motor to automatically maintain mothers desired vacuum level and cycle rate

   - Finger-tip controls located directly on the pump for easy access and adjustment

Sealed, spill-free milk collection and storage

Re-useable stem and disposable bag provide a sealed milk collection system.  After pumping, the easy-tab closure seals the bag for spill-free storage.  Re-freezable cooler pack keeps milk cool up to 8 hours.

Quick and easy to clean

Whisper Wear prevents messy leaks and milk from backing-up into the pump.  After each use, there's only three pieces to clean - all dishwasher safe.

Ultra-compact design

Stylish, lightweight carry bag neatly holds everything for pumping, collecting, and storing milk.  Surfaces wipe clean with a damp cloth to keep the bag sanitary and looking new.

After looking at all the exhibits at the La Leche League Conference, it was obvious that the Whisper Wear Hands Free Breastpump was the hit and commanded the most attention.  I spoke to Whisper Wear's CEO Ken Myers.  Ken has another company he started that makes medical devices for hospitals and other organizations.  "I had a close friend who was a licensed lactation consultant and she kept telling me about the complaints her peers and mothers she helped always talked about.  I kept thinking there must be a better way."  From there, Whisper Wear was born.

The clinical trials are complete, the company has obtained a medical device classification, and the product is scheduled to ship sometime in October.
