Playtex Embrace Breast Pump Description

The Playtex Embrace Electric Breast Pump is ideal for long-term, daily pumping since it has a durable hospital grade motor. The Embrace provides comfortable, massaging stimulation to express milk naturally without pulling or tugging on your nipples.

For decades, Playtex has been a leading infant feeding product manufacturer, and their knowledge and experience has provided them with the ability to create the Embrace, a breast pump that is customizable for the unique pumping needs of each breastfeeding mom.

The dual action massage and suction used by the Embrace has been clinically proven to increase prolactin levels and milk production. Personalize your pumping experience further with 3 suction levels. The 360-degree massage technique creates a soft air cushion around the nipple to increase comfort while the silicone breast cups simulate your baby’s natural suckling through a combination of suction and massage. These cups have wider nipple openings, which help to eliminate irritation and increase pumping comfort while providing moms with a better fit.

The closed milk collection system protects expressed breastmilk from contamination by germs and bacteria and prevents milk leaks in the tubing since there is a barrier in between the pump tubing and collection bottle. Since the durable hospital quality motor has 5 speeds and 5 suction levels, it is easier for you to find a comfortable and effective pump setting that works for you.

The Playtex Embrace can be operated via AC adapter and car adapter. A car adapter is included with each Playtex Embrace. Busy moms will appreciate the convenience of being able to pump into most bottles since the included breast cups feature dual screw rings. Keeping all your pump parts organized is easier thanks to the convenient inner bag system that fits into the carrying bag.

Name	:	Tasha
Question	:	I really like the idea of this system pumping straight into the the drop ins storage kit but when it comes to freezing breast milk in bulk it seems a lot to have to buy kits constantly. Is there a way to just pump into freezer bags?

Name	:	Sherry

Name	:	Jenn
Question	:	Just wanted to clarify: Am I able to use something like "Mother's Milkmate Breastmilk Storage Bottles" and do not need to use the liners?? I can pump directly into the bottle, freeze, and then thaw and feed using the Embrace and these bottles?? Also, does breast size matter?? I have larger breasts and was wondering if this would make a difference. What about cleaning the Embrace?? The milk doesn't go into the tubes, right??
Answer	:	All Playtex breast pumps are compatible with all brands of standard (traditional) baby bottles. The pumps are also compatible most brands of wide-neck bottles; they are not compatible with Philips Avent or First Years bottles. Although the pump is not compatible with Philips Avent bottles, the Philips Avent Breast Pump Conversion Kit is compatible with the Playtex breast pumps. This kit allows a mom to use Philips Avent bottles with her Playtex pump. Breast shield size is determined by nipple diameter rather than by cup size. If the diameter of your protruding nipple (not the areola) is larger than the diameter of a nickel, you will need a larger breast shield in order to pump comfortably. All breast pumps come with standard size (24mm to 25mm) breast shields. Some brands such as Ameda and Medela, offer compatible breast shields in varying sizes as additional accessories for their pumps. The Playtex Embrace works on a closed system, so you are right the milk will not get into the tubes. You will have to clean everything the milk touches after each use.

Name	:	Sarah
Question	:	I have the playtex drop-in bottles and liners. Can I pump directly into these liners or do I have to buy a special kind for pumping and storing?
Answer	:	The Playtex liners will attach to the Playtex Embrace breast pump, so you can pump directly into these.

Name	:	toni
Question	:	this will work with the nuk bottles? they hook right up? and is there a way to pump into storage bags instead? how noisy is this? thanks!
Answer	:	All Playtex breast pumps are compatible with all brands of standard (traditional) baby bottles. The pumps are also compatible most brands of wide-neck bottles; they are not compatible with Philips Avent or First Years bottles. The Nuk standard bottle will be compatible with this pump. We several freezer bag options, the Mother's Milkmate will attach to the pump and we have the First Years which does not, but stands upright for easy transfer. All electric breast pumps will make some noise, someone in the same room could hear it, but not behind closed doors.

Name	:	Amanda
Question	:	Can you purchase additional coverage to exceed the 1 year warranty? I plan to purchase before my baby is born and it's covered from date of purchase, so I want to make sure it is covered through the entire first year. I will be going back to work full time and pumping constantly.
Answer	:	The Playtex Embrace breast pump comes with a one year manufacturer's warranty. The period of coverage starts on the date of purchase. They do not offer an extended warranty. The Bailey Medical Nurture III comes with a 3 year warranty. The Ameda Elite breast pumps come with a 3 year manufacturer's warranty. The period of coverage starts on the date of purchase. After the 3 years of warranty coverage, you can still have the pump repaired and/or serviced; however, you will have to pay for the services.

Name	:	Melissa
Question	:	what size are the breast flanges?? i had to get bigger custom ones for my ameda (which is now broken) because the standard size was too small for my nipples.
Answer	:	The Playtex Embrace comes with standard size flanges measuring about an inch. This pump does not offer different size flanges.

Name	:	Claudia
Question	:	Are you sure the Playtex Embrace Double Electric Breast Pump is compatible with Dr. Brown standard (not wide) neck bottles? They are telling me the other way around at the store, and I have already received as gifts all the bottles I need.

Question	:	on the playtex embrace pump, does the milk go straight into the bottle or does it go through tubes first? you don't have to use the drop on liners right?

LOVE IT! LOVE IT!Review by Beansmommy

I have to say that I totally love this pump. it was hard to get used to dual pumping which this pump gives you the option of doing or not, but i love it. I have no issues and playtex is a great company to buy from. If you are considering a breast pump this is a great one. I went cheap at fist while i was still nursing then i had to start pumping full time because she would no longer take to nursing so i pump for her. Totally worth the money its a investment in your babies health.

Good pump, but wish it had lasted longerReview by Rhea

Rating

I haven't compared longevity of breast pumps, and this one did do us all a big job in my family--first my sister used it, occasionally, then I did, then a friend of the family, and then when it was my turn again, the motor began to quit, making wratchety sounds and randomly decreasing the speed and suction.

But it is easy to use, comfortable, and compact.

Most comfortable - just takes a little longerReview by Nicole

Rating

My pump just started wearing down recently - halfway into pumping for my second baby, after I pumped for a year and my friend (the original owner) pumped for 6 months. So not too shabby, although I'm still bummed out. It now takes me longer to pump (about 30 minutes each time) since I'm pumping only on suction level 1 (still on speed 5, but I used to do 5 for both). The motor starting straining and making terrible noises and taking much too long to complete one pump on my normal levels. But if it weren't for it breaking down part-way into the third baby, then I'd give this 5 stars. If you are going to have just the one kid probably, then I highly recommend it. The cups are soooo much more comfortable than Medela's. I borrowed a couple friends' pumps and they both used Medela which pulls and distorts your nipples into udder-like tubes. It was ghastly. I maybe saved only 5 minutes of pumping time, and for the comfort of the Playtex, I'd gladly take it. The system has a two-part cup which keeps milk from ever flowing into the tubing, a problem with many other pumps. Just make sure you dry your cups completely. I have a feeling that me never drying them fully might have tampered with the pump by forcing water into it. You can pump both breasts at the same time, or just one (as I prefer) by using or not using the Y adaptor and extra tubing. The bag gets a little heavy, but it's great for carrying everything around. With my first boy I used this every weekday, 3 times a day, for 10 straight months. And I never had any trouble till now.

Pretty Good PumpReview by Lora the Busy Mom!

Rating

I have been using this pump for 9 months now and plan on continuing on doing so for a while yet. My baby is 10 months old now and I work 40 hours a week and use this pump while I'm at work.

First let me say, I've only tried this pump because I got at my baby shower all Playtex bottles and accessories. I do like this pump. It works well and does not hurt me. I find that I am pumping 4-9 oz per 15 min session every 2.5-3 hours, but every woman's body will be different. I like that you can adjust the speed and suction strength. I usually pump at full speed at first for letdown, then lower it to 4/5 and 4/5 after the milk starts flowing. I like that it is a closed system too. Plus, the bag it comes in is very discreet and organized.

The only problem I had was with the tubing--it cracked on one side and of course, lost suction. I called Playtex and their customer service is the best ever. They were so nice to me and replaced it for free and offered a free manual pump and lots of $3 off coupons. The replacement tubing is very nice and strong. I have absolutely no complaints.

never gave me any problemsReview by tatmom29

With my 1st born I used formula and intended on formula with my 2nd (who is now 1) but when my milk came in she went balistic so I had to teach myself breastfeeding basics. For the first two months I didnt need a pump but I got a Medela Harmony at the recomendation of the hospital. It really wasnt working at all so I purchased this thru a relative for a great deal and she only used it for 2 months. I contemplated buying a more expensive one but because I didnt know how long I would do it for I went with Playtex-for the price. It did take a couple of times to get the suction and speed that worked for me, I wrote them down and never had any problems. I had to change both (settings) during pumping (b4 and after letdown). I thought I wasnt pumping enough but when my daughter started drinking from the bottle I realized that she just wasnt a big eater. She ended up preferring the bottle over the breast and I didnt want to pump all the time so we supplemented then went all formula. But it was great for me and I plan to use it again after Nov. when #3 arrives!

Good Pump for working momReview by Milicent B.

Rating

I am fortunate that I have a Medela pump that I use at home and the Playtex that I use at work. I actually seem to have better luck with the Playtex than the Medela. Pumping is not painful and I can actually talk on the phone and the other person can't hear what I am doing. I have been working and pumping for about a month now and see no decrease in my milk production. I would definitely recommend this pump to anyone looking for one.

Great pump, awesome priceReview by Nanette T.

Rating

This pump is a bargain! It works well and isn't as expensive as the other pumps of this grade. I personally did have trouble with the sheilds being to soft for me, so I switched them out with the Almeda ones they give you in the hospital and it worked great! Also, the system that goes with this pump is awesome, freezing and storing couldn't be any easier if you tried. One thing no one told me though as a new mom, don't expect this pump to be silent, as a matter of fact, don't expect any pump to be silent. They all make a little noise, but ladies, you have to get over it. Eventually everyone is going to know what you are sneaking away for every little while. I promise you get used to it. Also, the car adapter is such a great idea!! I thought I would never use it, but boy was it a life saver on trips! And the discrete carrying case makes it practical to take along with you to more public settings. Again though, if you are a working mom, eventually everyone will notice, it's ok. Now, I will say my pump did go out at one point and Playtex was a dream to deal with! They overnighted a new pump to me as soon as I called and when I received the new one, I just sent the old one back. The new one has worked ever since. If I had to do it all over again, I would buy the playtex again!

Great PumpReview by Jennifer Kowalkowski

I had the hardest time finding a pump that worked for me. After spending several hundred dollars on other pumps...I picked up the Playtex Embrace. The pump and shields mimic a baby sucking. It's great. I highly recommend...totally worth the cost.
