Q: Is Elvie Curve right for me?
Elvie Curve uses natural suction, making it ideal for gently expressing milk during let-down while feeding or pumping on the other breast, or whenever your breasts feel full. Elvie Curve is especially useful for women who wish to gently express milk with minimal additional effort. Designed to be worn in-bra, it can be used without risk of being knocked off by your baby, and is small and compact, making it convenient solution for mothers on-the-go or who travel. It can also be used on the other breast to a single Elvie Pump, giving you the freedom to move.
Q: Can the suction be adjusted?
Elvie Curve has been designed with your comfort in mind. If the suction feels too high, lightly press the Valve at the top of the Pouch to release a small amount of pressure, as shown below. If the suction feels too low, re-squeeze the Pouch through your bra to generate more suction. We recommend squeezing the Pouch every couple of minutes to maintain a steady suction while you are using Elvie Curve, but you'll learn what works best for you!
Q: Is Elvie Curve one size fits all?
Elvie Curve is one size fits all so there's no need to worry about choosing a size. It has been tested with women of many different breast shapes and sizes for the best comfort and fit.
Q: How much milk should I get with Elvie Curve?
Elvie Curve can hold up to 4oz or 120ml of milk. There are markings on the back which let you see how much you have expressed at the end of your session. How much milk you collect with Elvie Curve is a personal thing, as milk flow varies greatly between women. It can be impacted by where you are in your feeding journey, when you last fed and what you are doing at the time!
