Let me start by saying, the Willow Go pump is a total game-changer for breastfeeding moms. The freedom to move around while pumping is priceless. I've used it while doing dishes, answering emails, and even chasing my toddler—something I could never do with my old wall pump.
The suction strength is impressive—9 levels means you can find your perfect setting. I typically use level 4-5, which provides strong but comfortable suction. Unlike some other wearables I've tried, this one actually empties me well, though it does take about 30 minutes compared to 20 with my Medela.
Comfort is where this pump shines. The soft silicone flanges (though I wish they came in 19mm) feel gentle even during long sessions. The discreet design fits perfectly in my nursing bra—no one can tell I'm pumping when I'm out running errands.
Now for the downsides: The app is glitchy and disconnects frequently. Battery life could be better—I get about 2 full sessions before needing to recharge. And yes, there are several parts to clean, but they're dishwasher safe which helps.
For moms who need mobility without sacrificing performance, the Willow Go is worth every penny. It's not perfect, but it's the closest I've found to a truly hands-free pumping solution that actually works.
