I'm currently renting a pump from the hospital (Medela Symphony) & it has programs that last 15 & 40 minutes. I don't get the volume I'd like if I stop the program before it's run its course. My hands-free bustier helps, but I am still tethered to the pump, so if she screams, I can't go & get her right away.
I read a couple of reviews of the Freestyle & am seriously considering it as a travel pump for our upcoming vacations, but wonder if it will work well for me, as I am large-chested even without breastfeeding! The 24mm horns in the hospital cut the flow on my larger side, so I am wary of the 24mm horns, despite their being soft.
