Willow Go Duckbill Valve - 2pk - for use with Willow Go Hands Free Breast

I had an elvie stride with my first baby, but I wanted to give these a shot my second time around. While I LOVE these pumps even more than the stride, the parts do not last long is you are using it frequently. I’m an RN, so I use them during my 13 hours away from home while working for 3 days each week, which to me doesn’t seem like it should strain parts much. But the duckbills only last me 4 weeks before they start sliding off immediately after putting the on. Wouldn’t be a huge deal if the parts weren’t so dang expensive. It used to be $16.99 for ONE PAIR of new duckbills, but now the price is $21.99… Absolutely nuts when you’re replacing them every month instead of the quoted “90 days”…

Works perfect exactly like the original ones that came with the pump.

Based on my experience using Willow pumps for nearly five months, I appreciate their products However, I noted that the valves are delicate; my first pair tore, likely due to rough cleaning. I recommend handling them carefully during cleaning to avoid damaging the sensitive part where milk flows. Additionally, proper placement of the valves is important to ensure strong suction, if not you can allow air to escape, reducing potentially making it seem like the pump isn’t working. Few pros are that BPA-free silicone, easy to clean and dishwasher safe. Don't forget to clean valves gently and make sure to instal them correctlty to maintain suction strength.

Look the product works fine and will be what you need when you need it. I’m docking a star because it said next day delivery, then when the shipping was delayed almost 4 days, it set off a sequence of unfortunate events unrelated to this actual product. But it was highly inconvenient. My recommendations for the pumping moms out there, don’t wait until you need these to buy them. Plan ahead and buy extra cuz I promise you do not want the stress of not having pumping parts.

Fits well on the willow breast pump, the only reason why I didnt give it 5 stars is due to it only lasting a few months and then you need to replace it again
