Founded by Tania Boler, a women’s health expert, Elvie is a tech company with the simple mission of improving the lives of women by developing products catered for the specific needs of women.
“Here’s the thing. Women shouldn’t have to make do with shoddy design or pink spin-offs when there are self-driving cars in the world,” said Elvie. “We approach problems as women and solve them as engineers, scientists and designers, starting with a real need and innovating around it.”
“We create new products, new solutions and a fair few conversations while we’re at it,” added Elvie. “We don’t do controversy for controversy’s sake, but we’re committed to talking candidly about women’s bodies in order to give them the products they deserve. Armed with genuine female insight and world-class design expertise, we’re working to transform the way women think and feel about themselves.”
Said to be the world’s first silent wearable breast pump, Elvie Pump features no wires or tubes, making it portable, discreet, and user-friendly. This is a welcome change from the conventional breast pumps that are cumbersome, loud, and require constant power from electrical sockets.
Thanks to its small and compact design, the breast pump can be worn inside a nursing bra and top. Combined with noise-canceling technologies, mothers are able to discreetly pump breast milk for their believed babies in peace without the worry of glaring strangers in public.
Elvie Pump is composed of five parts that can be easily assembled and disassembled for cleaning and maintenance. Made of BPA free plastic, it is dishwasher safe. A single Elvie Pump holds 5oz/150ml of breast milk that is stored inside the reusable bottles.
Featuring smart technology, users are able to monitor milk volume in real-time and track the history of pumping for each breast and control the pump remotely via an app. In addition, Elvie Pump will automatically switch from Stimulation into Expression mode when it detects let-down. It will also stop on its own when the bottle is full.
Taking body diversity into mind, three breast shield sizes are available, as well as seven intensity settings for the utmost comfort.
