Elvie makes femtech products, like breast pups and pelvic floor trainers, designed to give women freedom.

Founded in 2013, Elvie is a British brand developing smarter technology for women. After realizing the lack of support for new mums, CEO Tania Boler brought together a team of world-class engineers, designers and business minds to redesign the existing unattractive and outdated medical devices in women’s health into sleek consumer products that could be used at home.

With the launch of Elvie Stride Plus, Elvie now has six products on the market. The first to launch, Elvie Trainer, is an award-winning Kegel trainer and app. Its second product, Elvie Pump, is the world's first silent wearable breast pump. Elvie’s breastfeeding line-up also includes Elvie Curve and Elvie Catch; both enhancing the Elvie breastfeeding range. Elvie Curve is a wearable, silicone breast pump that uses natural suction to enable comfort and Elvie Catch is a set of two secure milk collection cups to catch leaks and collect additional milk.

Offer a 30-day trial or rental program? If you are a new mom, you have no idea what your nursing experience is going to be like, and it sucks to spend so much money on a product only to realize it doesn't work for you, especially whilst navigating nursing and all its challenges.

I tried the pump and it didn't work for my particular situation. During pregnancy I thought a hands-free pump that you can fit in your bra sounded great! Come to find out my supply was low, and these are not the best pumps for increasing supply. Also, sure, maybe they fit into your bra, but it feels cumbersome, and it's not like you can wear them into the grocery store (hint: they are not discreet). Last thing: after months of occasional usage at best, they definitely started to become less effective.
