How we’re freeing up the hands and time of moms with our new Philips Avent Hands-Free Electric Breast Pump

The Philips Avent Hands-Free Electric Breast Pump has been designed to take pressure off moms while pumping breast milk, helping them feel comfortable while enabling loved ones to step in and help with feeding.

“Our research reveals that many breastfeeding moms want to breast pump but are put off or stop because traditional options restrict them,” comments Gulsu Erden, Philips Avent Consumer Marketing Director. “In addition, many moms also worry that hands-free pumps aren’t as effective. Our newest innovation, the Philips Avent Hands-Free Electric Breast Pump addresses this challenge. We want to support moms, whatever feeding routine they choose, with a hands-free breast pump that they can trust and is designed to work for them. And the proof is in the response – a global average of 4.79 stars out of 5 in ratings and reviews [1].”

Hands-free wearable breast pumps made easier and better

With the Philips Avent Hands-Free Electric Breast Pump, moms can multi-task during this time, both on the go or at a desk. Helping this further is the comfortable and efficient design, improving on a traditional, wall plug-in electric breast pump. It works twice as fast, with large collection cups that collect a milk volume of up to 200ml/7 US oz. And it's a light weight, compact, quiet and discreet pump, operating at sound levels of just 50dB.

Technology that works just like a baby

With over 40 years of breastfeeding research, our R&D team designed the Philips Avent Hands-Free Electric Breast Pump to mimic a baby’s natural drinking rhythm. Moms can choose from a range of customization settings, including nine stimulation and 16 expression options. And these settings can be saved using the built-in memory function: by storing this information, moms can skip the repetitive setup and reclaim more of their time. 

Silicone technology for every shape

For first-time moms who are new to pumping, it can often feel strange or awkward, which is why the Philips Avent Hands-Free Breast Pump, powered by Silky OptiFit technology, was designed to be as comfortable as possible. 

The seven unique silicone SkinSense breast shield sizes fit 99% of nipples, and with silicone having low thermal conductivity, it means they don’t feel cold against the skin and adapt to its temperature more easily. Along with the silky texture, it helps the breast shield shape around the breast for a snug and comfortable grip. The result is a better fit and greater comfort, which, in turn, leads to a calmer pumping experience.

Sharing the care

Being a mom has never been easy. However, statistics today show that expectations and social pressures are weighing heavier. 61% of moms have as little as one hour or less a day to spend on their basic daily needs, for instance. 57% of moms would like partners to step in and look after the baby. To sum up, moms need more help and it’s our role to support them. With the Philips Avent Hands-Free Electric Breast Pump, family members have an easy way to get involved and share a key responsibility.
