LaVie 2-in-1 Warming Lactation Massager 2 Pack Heat and Vibration Pumping and Breastfeeding Essential for Clogged Ducts Improved

I read the reviews and was still skeptical and seeing the price of two, I was worried about spending that kind of money! I was trying to out weigh the decision by buying these or spending a ton more in formula. I'm glad now, that I went ahead and bought these! So to begin with, you have to charge before the first use! After that, I get about three pumping sessions with these, before they start blinking and die on you! Easy to charge, and I love that it's one cord with dual charging ports! Makes it a little more convenient and not have to keep track of two charging cords! Also, just because you turn off the vibration, doesn't mean the heat turns off and vis versa! Now on to my story! In the beginning of September, I got really sick for two days (not Covid/not the flu) and on top of that my right breast, I had terrible pain in as well! This is my second baby and my first baby, I never had mastitis! I didn't think much of it this time because I figured it had to be something with getting sick! I still don't know if it was ever mastitis! After I recovered my right breast never produced like it did before! I've done a ton of research and it always said not to worry, the other breast would make up for it! but at one time, both breast were producing wonderfully, 5 + oz each time! Even the left breast slowed down a bit but not like the right side! Sometimes I would pump for 10-15 minutes or 20 and the right would produce 2 oz less or more compared to the left! This is all after being sick! I started to try to nurse off the right side first when I wasn't pumping, thinking that would help, none the less, it would still only produce 2 oz., rather it be every 2 hours or every 3-4 hours! I bought these and it's made a difference! The recommended time is no more then 10 minutes or you could burn! Sometimes I do 10 minute heat and then keep the vibration on. Other times, I do 5 minute heat and continue with vibration. At work, I use these for 10 minutes and then keep pumping for another 20. When I don't use these, my breast produce like usually, stated above! When I use them, they produce at least another 1-2 oz. more! I use a portable and stationary pump! The portable is more bulky and takes up the entire bra basically, so it's a little harder to use these as, they don't bend but I love that they are slightly already made curved! I try to put as flat and as tight to skin pre instructions! (you can move them however you like) They work almost just as good with portable! When I use the stationary pump and just the flanges are in the bra, they fit much better and stay tucked into bra! Little less hassle! I don't have picture of portable pump without them but it's relatively the same amount as the other picture without massagers! I also tried to keep apples to apples and the pictures are about the same time waited in-between from nursing then pumping! So I would nurse and then pump about 1 hours - 2 hours later! The round picture is at work but I left to nurse 2 1/2 prior to pumping! I would recommend! Update: I added a picture of the round portable pumps without using the massagers! You can see my right breast produced less! Read more

We welcomed to the world our premmie baby ahead of time and all of the sudden, all our plans went to the trash can. Aside of sleep deprivation, we had to focus on my wife's recovery from c- section, while having to nurture a 4.11 pounds baby. One morning around the 1st month, our Doula (Professional trained on birth - I didn't know that!) sat me down and told me point blank: This is serious, your wife has several blocked ducts (one of them gigantic), if we don't get them under control within the next 24hrs, she is going to develop mastitis - it is going to be painful for her. The solution- I was told to help her to massage her breasts with 2 electric toothbrushes (hands would not be enough). After just one round of toothbrushes massage (and those warmer pads you heat in the microwave) I could not fathom my wife having to endure this for whatever is that she would like to breastfeed our baby (or pump into bottles). Let alone, she was so tired (physically and emotionally) that she was ready to give up breastfeeding altogether. This is when I did my research and found this medical device. I didn't hesitate and got it delivered overnight and we saw IMMEDIATE success. These devices provide the right amount of heat and depth of vibration to unblock her 5-10 blocked ducts. In a matter of minutes, we helped her to prevent a severe infection. She has been using them religiously every time she pumps (baby doesn't like the vibration during feedings). We are also supplementing with Legendairy Milk® Sunflower Lecithin, 1200mg (bought in AMAZON) and she is doing great. Our experience with the device is ~ 5 weeks. No more need for heating pads (certainly no electric toothbrushes!) . She wears them under her breastfeeding bra's (those with openings that allow pumping or breastfeeding) and she doesn't need to hold them (unless she is treating a very deep clot). There have been a couple of instances when other ducts got blocked (primarily when baby decides not to drink empty the breasts) but right away these devices have helped her to unblock the ducts. No medicine, no pain. I remember reading a negative comment of the device not helping - I'm a guy (forgive me!) and all I can say is that perhaps these massagers work in small to medium breasts sizes. At least, I can attest, they have work on my wive's c-cup breasts. I also remember seeing complaints about the battery - we don't have any issue with this. Specifically, my wife keeps them in her breast pumping station. She uses them ~2 sessions (20 minutes each) for a total of 40 minutes before re-charging them. Lastly (and I'm not getting paid to say this) - my wife almost every day thanks me for having found these massagers. She thinks of them as live savers (perhaps a bit of stretch) but certainly they have helped us to continue our breastfeeding journey with our little one. Our Doula didn't know about these massagers - she was thrilled and impressed when we show them to her. I believe she has now share them with her company so that other Doulas can recommend them to other clients. Great product, and yes I highly recommend it - IF I would have learned about blocked ducts before, I would have hesitated to purchase these expensive massagers... Having lived what it means for my wife and baby to face the potential of mastitis - these devices are priceless to me. Read more

I use these daily, almost every pumping session. They really help maximize your milk output and resolve minor clogs, especially if it’s been more than a few hours since you pumped. I also use them to break up clogs - the vibration plus heat makes them more effective than those microwave heating pads. Nice bonus: with them in, I barely feel any nipple discomfort while pumping. I was hesitant at first given the price but well worth the investment if you’re planning to pump a lot. Only couple caveats - I do still manually massage in addition to these, they don’t get everything out. And battery life is short - keep it plugged in and it’ll just be a minor inconvenience. Read more
