Love the Medela Pump In-Style Hands-Free. Very powerful and portable! Love that I can easily work from home (anywhere in the house) while pumping. Easy to put together and take apart for cleaning. Highly recommended!!

Kimberly P.

The backpack is super convenient when I need to pump and am in a rush. I have literally worn it as I'm getting dressed, and then out to the car and driving to appointments without having to even pause my pumping.

I LOVE my new Medela pump! This pump (Medela Freestyle Hands-Free) is so small and lightweight and I love that it fits right in my purse. Overall a great investment for any mom on the go looking for a lightweight, portable breast pump with strong suction and a rechargeable battery.

Jocelyn M.

I love it (On the Go Tote)! It's perfect and (goes) with my service uniform. It looks like a nice black purse, which is perfect because the only allowed color that goes with our uniform is pure black! It is very convenient and easy to use:-)

Frequently Asked Questions about Medela Breast Pumps

Why won't my insurance fully cover the Medela Freestyle Hands-Free breast pump?

Insurance plans and their coverage of breast pumps vary A LOT - so your best bet for the right answer is to call your insurance company and ask them. That said,the following is a little info based on what 1 Natural Way usually sees when we work with insurance companies.

Insurance plans may have a low “allowable amount” or the allowable amount may be high. If your allowable amount is high, you will typically be able to choose from a bigger selection of fully covered pumps, including higher-end, more high-tech models. If your allowable amount is low, you will typically have fewer pumps you can choose from that are 100% covered.

Additionally, some plans have stricter guidelines. Your coverage could be affected by what a plan will or will not cover. For example, some plans state that they will not cover travel bags or battery packs; others specify that “experimental” or “luxury” breast pumps are not covered.

The Freestyle Hands-Free and Swing Maxi are top-of-the-line, portable breast pumps that come with bags, coolers, breast pump accessories and smartphone connectivity. In other words, they are pricey pumps with lots of bells and whistles.

1 Natural Way will always help you get the best breast pump possible through your insurance plan.

What are the differences between the Medela Pump in Style vs. Spectra S2?

The Spectra S2 Plus and the Medela Pump in Style are two of the pumps we send to moms the most, so you can be assured that both are tested and trusted.

The Spectra S2 breast pump is quieter, has more vacuum power, and a digital display. It also offers highly customizable settings so that moms have a lot of control over the suction speed and vacuum strength settings for optimal comfort. The night light is a nice feature that allows you to pump in the dark.

The Medela Pump in Style with MaxFlow creates a comfortable, natural feel with a piston/cylinder motor (moms say they are gentler) and great efficiency through micro-vibration technology. Plus, this pump comes with a battery adapter for easy pumping anywhere. The pump's one-touch let-down and just a few parts make it incredibly simple to set up, use and clean. Parts and accessories are widely available.

Still, trying to decide which pump is right for you? Check out our Spectra Vs. Medela blog post for an in-depth comparison of these two pumps.

I need a hands free breast pump. How is the newer Medela Freestyle Hands-Free different than the original Medela Freestyle?

Once upon a time, Medela introduced the revolutionary Freestyle - a compact, hands-free breast pump that let moms move around while pumping. No more being tethered to a plug-in pump!

The Medela Freestyle Hands-Free offers all of the mobility, comfort and convenience of the original, with a sleek, more compact profile for easier handling and a slightly lighter weight.

A big difference from the original is that the new Freestyle Hands-Free is a closed system breast pump. Plus, the Freestyle Hands-Free has backlit controls and smartphone connectivity.
