Purely Yours breast pump by Ameda vs. Pump In Style by Medela

These are the two leading models in the breast pump market. They come with the same manufacturer warranty terms. The prices however are significantly different. The Ameda Purely Yours retails about $100.00 less than the Medela Pump In Style, but is somewhat superior in many ways:

1. Ameda Purely Yours that uses the Hygienikit collection system is the only pump that received the FDA clearance that the pump has the protective silicon barrier that prevents contamination from virus. Milk will not back up into the tubing. No moisture is built up in the tube or the diaphram.

    Medela Pump In Style does not have this feature and customers are often asking what to do with the condensation in the tubes.

    Mothers who use Ameda Purely Yours can relax in knowing that the milk that they express and store is the same as the milk that their babies nurse directly from the breast.

2. The Ameda Purely Yours has 9 speed level setting and 5 power level setting. The Purely Yours does not have that new natural expression technology, it is still a fine tuned machine that allows nursing mothers to adjust more closely to their babies nursing style.

3. The Flangs (part of the pump kit that goes on the breasts) of the Ameda Purely Yours are flexible silicon that provides a slight massage action onto the areola areas, stimulating more milk let-down and more extraction.

4. The Purely Yours is economical in several ways:

    Extra bottles, extra ice packs, built in battery compartment. No more chance for lossing the batter pake. Uses only 6 AA+ batteries. Two most popular models comes with the vehicle light adaptor.

The Medela is also a highly recommended breast pump, but for those mother's that are looking for something within their budget means, the Ameda Purely Yours is very affordable.
