Q: Is Elvie Catch right for me?
Elvie Catch is designed to help keep you leak-free. It can be used between feeds to catch leaks, and is especially useful to women who experience heavy leaking, as well as new moms who have not yet established a feeding rhythm and are still in the ‘leaky’ phase. Elvie Catch are one size fits all, and have been tested on a range of different women to find the best comfort and fit.
Q: How is Elvie Catch different to disposable breast pads?
Like breast pads, Elvie Catch is designed to keep you leak-free. However, Elvie Catch is also reusable (a one-time investment) and allows you to save the milk you collect. They can hold up to 1oz / 30ml of milk, and this milk can be used to top up a feed, put in your baby’s bath, or used however you see fit - the milk is not wasted with Elvie Catch. Additionally, Elvie Catch is dishwasher safe and comfortable to wear for up to three hours at a time.
Q: How long can Elvie Catch be worn for?
We recommend removing your Elvie Catch every two to three hours, to allow the nipple to completely air-dry. Please note: Milk collected over extended periods and left at room temperature for too long should not be fed to your baby.
Q: Can I sleep or lie down while wearing Elvie Catch?
We do not recommend wearing Elvie Catch while lying down, particularly not while sleeping. Movement during sleep may dislodge the product, and we recommend removing the product every two to three hours to allow the nipple to fully air-dry.
