Review : Cimilre F1 breastpump

Assalamualaikum & hi!


yes, big news : ive reach motherhood - achievement unlocked. :)

took advanced maternal leave at 38weeks - and my baby decided to stay longer in utero lol.

alhamdulillah all went well. induced and delivered spontaneous vaginal delivery to a healthy baby boy.

so like most working moms (stay at home moms too have breastpump k)- i too bought myself a breastpump to pump milk for my baby. going back to work this monday :/ (mixed feelings of leaving my baby at home and worried my hectic schedule will disrupt my milk supply. really praying hard for consistent and enough milk)

so.. back to the title.. im reviewing the CIMILRE F1 BREAST PUMP (this is my 2nd pump tbh. 1st pump was Autumnz Serene and hell it was painful, and my yield was max 2 oz & it tanked up my supply, posssibly by damaging my milk ducts *sigh*). a KOREAN product.


retailed at RM500+ i bought the pump from Pump On The Go Sg Petani branch.
it is a double breast pump, with breast shield size 30mm, lesser parts to wash and light pump. *yay*
it has a 5 level massage, with 10 level expression. (believe me, i only reach level 4. not more than that. apparently i have a sensitve nipple :s)

the suction? it is a soft suction. the massage mode is similar to my baby's suckling. so i like it very much. most of the time im only pumping with MASSAGE mode only. on average, my yield is about 3oz for 10-20mins (depending on the time of pumping & my nutrition). im satisfied - cause i know i still have alot more. i dont really pump till the minimal drop. i stick to the 10 mins /20 mins regimen or when my nipple starts to feel pain.
you can buy silicon inserts to make the suction more softer, and lesser pain - but i tried it on and without : my verdict is its still the same. no difference.

the setback i feel on this CIMILRE F1 is - the battery life. its not that long lasting. and it will automatically off itself when it hit 30 minutes of life. and the breast shield, has a narrow space to clean with.

the staff at pump on the go told me that the CIMILRE F1 is a contender for SPECTRA 9. i tried the spectra 9, but can only go to level 2 on expression mode - the suction is stronger than cimilre and caused me pain. (save me my money cause i thought of getting spectra too lol)

so yes, im happy with my CIMILRE F1. i ordered a handsfree breast shield (still waiting for the item to arrive) and will report on it later. im really really hoping and praying that it can pump and collect my breast milk similar as to the traditional breast shield. *really need it to work*.

i tried on the famous FREEMIE COLLECTION CUPS - and nahhhhhh. suction is soft, and it only produces sounds of 'blub blub' and very minimal milk. and costs about RM399 at pump on the go. its nice that it can be put inside your bra and handsfree and you can work freely.


i hope my review on this CIMILRE F1 pump will help you mommies out there!
thanks for dropping by :)
