About the Ardo Calypso

Why moms choose
the Ardo Calypso.

The Ardo Calypso is a compact double electric breast pump that runs from an outlet or on AA batteries, with suction and speed you adjust separately. It suits moms who want close control over how each session feels and a pump light enough to move between home and work. Because it can run on batteries, a missing outlet or a power outage doesn’t have to mean a skipped session.

You attach one or both pumpsets, settle the shells against your breasts, and press the standby button to begin. From there you work two pairs of arrow buttons, one for strength and one for speed, shifting gears as your milk starts to flow. When you’re done, each bottle sits upright in its own stand while you clean up.

The Calypso leaves every adjustment in your hands, which works well for moms who like to tune as they go. If you’d rather press start and let the pump change phases for you, a pump with automatic two-phase pumping may suit you better.

  • 64 settings, set separately: Suction strength and speed each have 8 levels you adjust on their own, so you can fine-tune both until pumping feels comfortable.
  • Hospital-strength suction: Up to 250 mmHg from a compact unit you can carry in a work bag.
  • You choose when to switch: There's no automatic phase change. You start fast and light, then slow the speed and raise the suction when milk begins to flow.
  • Runs on AA batteries too: Six AA batteries power it for about 5 hours at medium settings when there's no outlet nearby. Batteries aren't included.
  • Vacuum Seal closed system: A silicone pot in each pumpset keeps milk and air out of the tubing and the pump.
  • Lids that lock in place: The Line&Lock design secures each lid to its pumpset, so it's less likely to pull off and spill mid-session.
