LaVie 2-in-1 Warming Lactation Massager, 2 Pack, Heat and Vibration, Pumping and Breastfeeding Essential, for Clogged Ducts, Improved Milk Flow, Mastitis

We welcomed to the world our premmie baby ahead of time and all of the sudden, all our plans went to the trash can. Aside of sleep deprivation, we had to focus on my wife's recovery from c- section, while having to nurture a 4.11 pounds baby. One morning around the 1st month, our Doula (Professional trained on birth - I didn't know that!) sat me down and told me point blank: This is serious, your wife has several blocked ducts (one of them gigantic), if we don't get them under control within the next 24hrs, she is going to develop mastitis - it is going to be painful for her. The solution- I was told to help her to massage her breasts with 2 electric toothbrushes (hands would not be enough). After just one round of toothbrushes massage (and those warmer pads you heat in the microwave) I could not fathom my wife having to endure this for whatever is that she would like to breastfeed our baby (or pump into bottles). Let alone, she was so tired (physically and emotionally) that she was ready to give up breastfeeding altogether. This is when I did my research and found this medical device. I didn't hesitate and got it delivered overnight and we saw IMMEDIATE success. These devices provide the right amount of heat and depth of vibration to unblock her 5-10 blocked ducts. In a matter of minutes, we helped her to prevent a severe infection. She has been using them religiously every time she pumps (baby doesn't like the vibration during feedings). We are also supplementing with Legendairy Milk® Sunflower Lecithin, 1200mg (bought in AMAZON) and she is doing great. Our experience with the device is ~ 5 weeks. No more need for heating pads (certainly no electric toothbrushes!) . She wears them under her breastfeeding bra's (those with openings that allow pumping or breastfeeding) and she doesn't need to hold them (unless she is treating a very deep clot). There have been a couple of instances when other ducts got blocked (primarily when baby decides not to drink empty the breasts) but right away these devices have helped her to unblock the ducts. No medicine, no pain. I remember reading a negative comment of the device not helping - I'm a guy (forgive me!) and all I can say is that perhaps these massagers work in small to medium breasts sizes. At least, I can attest, they have work on my wive's c-cup breasts. I also remember seeing complaints about the battery - we don't have any issue with this. Specifically, my wife keeps them in her breast pumping station. She uses them ~2 sessions (20 minutes each) for a total of 40 minutes before re-charging them. Lastly (and I'm not getting paid to say this) - my wife almost every day thanks me for having found these massagers. She thinks of them as live savers (perhaps a bit of stretch) but certainly they have helped us to continue our breastfeeding journey with our little one. Our Doula didn't know about these massagers - she was thrilled and impressed when we show them to her. I believe she has now share them with her company so that other Doulas can recommend them to other clients. Great product, and yes I highly recommend it - IF I would have learned about blocked ducts before, I would have hesitated to purchase these expensive massagers... Having lived what it means for my wife and baby to face the potential of mastitis - these devices are priceless to me.

I read the reviews and was still skeptical and seeing the price of two, I was worried about spending that kind of money! I was trying to out weigh the decision by buying these or spending a ton more in formula. I'm glad now, that I went ahead and bought these! So to begin with, you have to charge before the first use! After that, I get about three pumping sessions with these, before they start blinking and die on you! Easy to charge, and I love that it's one cord with dual charging ports! Makes it a little more convenient and not have to keep track of two charging cords! Also, just because you turn off the vibration, doesn't mean the heat turns off and vis versa! Now on to my story! In the beginning of September, I got really sick for two days (not Covid/not the flu) and on top of that my right breast, I had terrible pain in as well! This is my second baby and my first baby, I never had mastitis! I didn't think much of it this time because I figured it had to be something with getting sick! I still don't know if it was ever mastitis! After I recovered my right breast never produced like it did before! I've done a ton of research and it always said not to worry, the other breast would make up for it! but at one time, both breast were producing wonderfully, 5 + oz each time! Even the left breast slowed down a bit but not like the right side! Sometimes I would pump for 10-15 minutes or 20 and the right would produce 2 oz less or more compared to the left! This is all after being sick! I started to try to nurse off the right side first when I wasn't pumping, thinking that would help, none the less, it would still only produce 2 oz., rather it be every 2 hours or every 3-4 hours! I bought these and it's made a difference! The recommended time is no more then 10 minutes or you could burn! Sometimes I do 10 minute heat and then keep the vibration on. Other times, I do 5 minute heat and continue with vibration. At work, I use these for 10 minutes and then keep pumping for another 20. When I don't use these, my breast produce like usually, stated above! When I use them, they produce at least another 1-2 oz. more! I use a portable and stationary pump! The portable is more bulky and takes up the entire bra basically, so it's a little harder to use these as, they don't bend but I love that they are slightly already made curved! I try to put as flat and as tight to skin pre instructions! (you can move them however you like) They work almost just as good with portable! When I use the stationary pump and just the flanges are in the bra, they fit much better and stay tucked into bra! Little less hassle! I don't have picture of portable pump without them but it's relatively the same amount as the other picture without massagers! I also tried to keep apples to apples and the pictures are about the same time waited in-between from nursing then pumping! So I would nurse and then pump about 1 hours - 2 hours later! The round picture is at work but I left to nurse 2 1/2 prior to pumping! I would recommend! Update: I added a picture of the round portable pumps without using the massagers! You can see my right breast produced less!

These absolutely saved my life during my wonderful pumping era. I started to get clogged ducts multiple times but every time I was diligent in using these the clogs subsided and broke up. I purchased these after my first mastitis episode and almost got it again until using these. They are absolutely amazing. I don't like that they shut off after about 20 minutes, but all you have to do is turn them back on. They did not hold that great of a charge to me, I had to charge after each use but honestly I don't care, the way they helped me not get mastitis again, it just became a routine to charge them and went about my life. BEST PURCHASE FOR PUMPING (and the lubricant pump spray).

Ok- this is a long one but bare with me because there’s a lot of good info! I ordered these to help me with clogs because I was getting them every day, sometimes multiple clogs, in each boob. For the purpose of getting rid of clogs, I genuinely think these help- they DO NOT prevent them (in my opinion). So instead of having a clog that lasts 1-2 full days, I’m able to clear it using these in 1-2 pump sessions (sometimes 3 for those really bad ones). The CONS A) They’re expensive. Let’s be real- who wants to spend $80 to massage their boobs? No one. B) The batter life SUCKS. Trust all the other reviews on that. I got these after reading reviews saying the battery sucked and thought maybe those people just didn’t take care of them or didn’t follow the instructions- nope- they really do suck. I am able to use them on vibrate for 1.5 sessions max. It runs for about 20 minutes so when I have a really bad clog, sometimes I need more than that. If you forget to plug them in between uses (who can remember that between the sick toddler and the crying baby and washing bottles and pump parts and using the bathroom and showering and… aaah) then you will not be able to use them for your entire next pump. It’s completely unrealistic and for the larger price tag of $80 you should at LEAST be able to use them for 2 full pump sessions in my opinion. C) They are not hands free if you get clogs like I do. That sounds lovely but I still have to apply a bit of pressure and usually move them in a circular massaging motion while they’re on heat and vibrate for those dang clogs. I’m giving them 4 stars because I was about to quit pumping due to severe clogs and these actually saved me BUT- there are some serious flaws with battery life that make me question if they were worth the money I spent on them. If the battery sucks this bad when they’re brand new, how will it be after I’ve had them for a month or two 😬

I’ve been looking forward to trying these new warming massagers ever since they were first announced. I exclusively pump and have been dependent on using the original LaVie massagers while I pump ever since I first started using them. My pumping sessions are usually on average about 45 minutes, and I have been using the massagers together with microwave heat pads whenever I pump at home. Heat + vibration does wonders for milk expression and preventing or addressing blockages. The microwave pads are extremely cumbersome, though. They are incredibly bulky, the heat doesn’t last long enough (at most 10-15 minutes), and they wear out easily and need to be replaced often. They are a hassle to microwave (I pump upstairs at home, and the kitchen is downstairs), and I don’t have access to a microwave when I need to pump elsewhere. These warming massagers are AMAZING!! They fit comfortably against my body and are the perfect shape and size for fitting into my pumping bra in various positions. Combining the heat and massage function into one device means that I have less stuff to carry around with me, and more importantly, less stuff to weigh me down and shove into my pumping bra. I love that the heat lasts for the duration of my pump session, and because of it, I’m finding that I’m pumping more efficiently than I have been before now. It’s now only taking me 30 minutes to empty. The warming massagers come with two heat settings (I have a high heat tolerance, so I use the hotter setting). The heat and massage settings work independently from one another, so you can use one or the other if you don’t want to use both together at any given time. They are not water proof like the other ones, so I will keep my regular non-warming massagers for working out blockages in the shower if I get any. These come with a neat dual tip micro-USB charging cable that allows both massagers to be plugged in to a single USB port — very handy if you have limited USB ports or wall outlets available. I can’t recommend these enough!

6 month update: Still use these every time I pump and I started wondering today HOW I lasted 9 months with my firstborn without a pumping bra and without these!!!! BUY THEM. I have been waiting and waiting to write a review so that I feel like I can have a good feel of how well these actually work and if they are worth the almost $80 I paid for them. They are! Let me start by saying, a lot of the other options on the market out there for warming engorged breasts just don't last long, are bulky and honestly you might as well microwave a wet towel and hold it on your boobs than to buy those items. THESE have been great. First of all, the vibration (I use heat & vibration combination EVERY TIME) reallllllllllllllly helps me as far as the comfort goes. Even when my nipples are sore, it's like the vibration reduces the irritation of pumping. As long as these remained charged, I could probably pump for hours and not be bothered - seriously. Do I think it has increased my supply? No. Do I think it helps relieve clogs? Ehhhhhhhhhhhh. I DO think it is better than nothing - but mommas out there - if I could have known one thing with my first born (sadly only learned with #2....TRYYYYYY really hard to nurse your baby at least once per day - on each breast if possible - even if it is only for a few minutes. Even if you want to exclusively pump....nothing has relieved clogs (I was a big overproducer for the first 10 weeks) more than the baby nursing. ALSO after the baby nurses, your flow when pumping is SO much better. After they eat (again, even if only for a few min), milk will come out much quicker. ALSO don't be afraid to ask your lactation consultant at the hospital for advice/tips/tricks/if you are uncomfortable or not sure what you are doing. Anyways - overall I would give these 5 stars because they have taken the pain out of pumping. I wish I would have had them for my first!!

I have had these for 2 months now and the warming setting on one has completely stopped along with one not holding charge. I had the previous model as well and was battery would go out in these but not this soon! I made sure to only use the charger that is provided to ensure battery issues wouldn’t happen like I read in other reviews. As for one of them to no longer heating, that’s just absolutely ridiculous. When these work, they are great, but if you become to rely on them, the moment they stop working properly you immediately notice. I also have permanent red marks above my breasts from the hot setting! I used to love these but now I regret purchasing them. They are not worth what they charge for them. EDITED TO ADD: Changed from 1 start to 3 stars because their customer service is top tier! They are providing a replacement pair!

I don’t normally write reviews but because I almost did not buy these because of some of the negative reviews about poor battery life etc I am writing this for any mamas wondering. I am strictly pumping mom and have been scared my milk would dry up so I bought these when they went on sale and they WORK. they have almost tripled my milk supply and help my letdown. I was also getting tons of clogged ducts in the beginning of my feeding journey and once I started using these, I haven’t had any, maybe a slight one here and there. I have to believe it’s bc of these helping my milk flow through my ducts better. Sure the battery life isn’t the best but that’s because they use a lot of power in order to heat up and vibrate. I just keep them permanently plugged in whenever I am not using them between pump sessions. I highly recommend these or another massager (though I can’t actually rate those). Highly recommend. Try to catch them when they’re on sale, I got them both for $50 when they went on sale on Amazon.

Performance is good. The heat and vibration function helps with the flow of milk during pumping sessions.

I haven’t tried it yet but it’s as described it its the heating Two levels and the vibration two modes I’m looking forward to try it I will update my review when I give birth inshallah And try it

Seul défaut : a de la batterie pour environ 45 minutes après on doit recharger. Est ultra efficace pour désengorger wt soulager les seins!

As an exclusive pumper this has been a game changer! I've been using the Lansinoh heat packs and the La Vie lactation massager, but this combines both of these in a easy to use and really effective product. The heat settings can be adjusted depending on your preference and even though it doesn't have the difference massage settings like the lactation massager you can select no, low or high vibration. I've had a few clogs and this gently eases the discomfort and I was able to pump it out. Fits well in my pumping bra and stays in place with the rubbery surface.
