Wearable breast pumps promise more freedom of movement than traditional breast pumps. Battery-operated, wireless, and hands-free, wearable breast pumps sit inside a bra or nursing bra to attach securely to your breasts and extract milk while you work, grocery shop, drive older children to and from school or practice, and engage in other activities you can’t feasibly manage while breastfeeding, manually pumping, or using a wired pump.

The 2025 State of Breastfeeding survey from Mamava and Medela found that 81 percent of parents surveyed have pumped or nursed in their car—proving that on-the-go options are a necessity for many families.

When it comes to choosing a wearable breast pump that’s right for you, comfort, leakage, and noise are major factors to consider. Your insurance plan is required to cover the cost of a breast pump—but not all plans will extend to wearable options, and the experts we spoke to typically don’t recommend choosing a wearable as your primary pump because they may not extract as much milk as a higher-powered breast pump does (more on this below). That means you might face some out-of-pocket costs for a wearable pump that serves as an on-the-go alternative to a traditional breast pump. But, as our users report, the built-in flexibility of pumping with a wearable pump may be worth the expense. 

How We Evaluated Wearable Breast Pumps

Dana Keester, a senior member of CR’s consumer experience and usability research team, recruited 45 women using some of the most popular wearable breast pumps on the market: 

  • Elvie Pump
  • Momcozy All-in-One M5 Wearable Breast Pump
  • Eufy Wearable Breast Pump S1 Pro
  • Momcozy S12 Pro Wearable Breast Pump
  • Willow 360 Wearable Breast Pump
  • Willow Go Wearable Breast Pump
  • Momcozy S9 Pro Wearable Breast Pump
  • Momcozy M9 Mobile Flow Hands-Free Breast Pump
  • Lansinoh DiscreetDuo Wearable Pump

All participants were lactating at the time and were active users of one of the nine wearable breast pumps we evaluated in this remote user study. They used their pump at least every few days in the two weeks prior to the study. We asked each user for feedback based on the following criteria.

  • Setup: Our respondents looked at the ease of assembling the pump for use and taking it apart for cleaning.
  • Fit and comfort: We asked participants about fitting, positioning, and removing the pump, and how comfortable it was to use. 
  • Operation: We asked users how satisfied they were with the location of buttons; the various modes, phases, and speed levels; and how simple it was to transfer breast milk into another container. 
  • Cleaning: Users shared how easy or difficult it was to clean the pump after use.
  • Noise: We asked participants how they felt about the motor sound when the pump was in use, and whether it was distracting or disruptive.
  • Battery life and charging: We asked users how long the battery lasted, how many pumping sessions they could get on a single charge, and whether the pump recharged quickly.

A note on cost: Many of the wearable breast pumps on our list can be purchased as a single pump only, which can cut down on your out-of-pocket costs. But the trade-off is that it will increase the time that it takes to pump because each side will have to be pumped separately.

Best Wearable Breast Pumps From CR’s Evaluations

Our top three wearable breast pumps all scored high marks for setup, operation, and noise, but you won’t find a wearable breast pump on this list that boasts a perfect score. Many of the pumps could have better battery life and charging capabilities, for example, and most could use improvements in fit and comfort, according to our users. But the top-scoring wearable pump is also the one that ranked as easiest to clean. See our full ratings below.
