LaVie Warming Lactation Massager 3-in-1 Adjustable Heat + Vibration for Breastfeeding, Nursing, Pumping, Essential Support for Improved Milk Flow

As someone who religiously reads reviews before I buy anything I wanted to come back and write one for the mom who is struggling like I was. BF/pumping has been a huge struggle for me as I am incredibly prone to plugged ducts/mastitis, especially when I have to go back and forth between pumping at work and nursing at home. I tried everything including lactation consultant, supplements, hand compression, right flange/pump/bras, etc. I thought these massagers were kinda gimmicky but was desperate so I got one and it really has helped me so much. I feel like it does help my milk let down and express better, helps kinda break up clogs and get over them so much faster (usually within 24 or less) and honestly when my boob hurts so bad because it’s inflamed from a clog this just feels nice and is an easier way to apply heat while pumping than messing around trying to work around hot/cold packs. That being said I do use it in addition to everything else I’ve been doing but I feel like I finally found the perfect mixture of things for me and BF/pumping has been a night/day difference the last month or so since using this. One charge usually last me a few days of pumping and I think it’s pretty comfortable and intuitive to use. It may not work for everyone but truly wish I would’ve tried this sooner instead of struggling for the past 6 mo. It would’ve saved me a lot of pain and tears and made pumping so much better!

For various reasons, I’ve had to exclusively pump after my daughter was born. For the sake of my sanity and to avoid being chained to the pump all day long, I am currently - at nearly 9 months postpartum - pumping 3 times a day at evenly spaced 8 hour intervals. Longer gaps between pump sessions generally require longer pump sessions in order to maintain an adequate milk supply. That’s where these beautiful massagers come in! I first came across the LaVie massager in an article from a post-pregnancy newsletter that I’ve been getting via email. I’ve always been prone to annoying painful blockages, and despite wanting some kind of vibrating tool to help combat them, nothing really existed for that purpose before (I tried one of those handheld vibrating back massagers, which failed miserably - ouch!). I ordered one up directly through the manufacturer, gave it a try, and it worked great! I started out trying the massager before and after pumping as a means of trying to clear out some of those annoying blockages. It wasn’t long before I started using it while I was pumping. I immediately noticed that the massager wasn’t only helping to clear out blocked areas, it was also helping me to pump more efficiently, too. For a while, I was actively using one massager and was constantly switching its placement from side to side while I pumped. I recently discovered that Amazon was selling the massagers, and I decided to order a second one. I’ve always had to work hard to get my milk out and empty with a breast pump. Constant use of hand massaging, compressions, and direct pressure meant that I couldn’t just sit there while I pump. Forget about surfing the web on my phone or iPad - my hands were always too busy for that. The use of TWO massagers while I pump has been game changing. Instead of moving one back and forth, I’ve been able to stuff one into each side of my pumping bra and leave them there for the duration of my pump cycle. I’m now pumping more efficiently and (even better) hands free. It’s taking less time to effectively empty out at the pump, and I think I’m even getting a little more milk output at the same time. It’s definitely a win-win in my book! Oh, and since I started using two massagers, I’ve noticed that the frequency and severity of my blockages have also gone down quite a bit. I’m definitely a fan!

This device saved me from mastitis. As a first time mom, somehow I didn’t realize that you had to continue to pump the breast milk out of your breasts. I was having trouble with my baby latching and wasn’t pumping for days after leaving the hospital. My breasts were so swollen and hard that I couldn’t even raise my arms and I was in tears from the pain. Eventually it clicked that I needed to continue to pump, so I did but I was left with some serious clogged ducts. They hurt so bad and I was ready to go to the doctor, but wanted to give it one last ditch try and bought this. I used it continually, but after the first use I could already notice major improvement. After using it while pumping and breastfeeding, it completely unclogged me and gave me my quality of life back! Yes, the buttons do get accidentally clicked and changed often because of their placement, but I don’t even care because this helped give me so much relief. I just change the button back to what setting I want and try to be careful to not press them again. The heating feature is amazing. I saw that a reviewer wrote that the vibration sound was so loud she couldn’t use it to breastfeed her baby, but I have no trouble with that. Maybe I have an easy baby, but he doesn’t even mind or notice the sound. Overall a great purchase

This device saved me from two bouts of mastitis without needing antibiotics. I came across this device when hunting online for at home mastitis remedies. A number of people suggested the vibration from an electric toothbrush to break down clogs, then this popped up. I found it so helpful, it’s well designed and you can use different sides for different actions, I think I found a video on YouTube showing different ways to use it. Any time I felt the pain coming on, I’d use this a couple of times a day on the sore areas and it stopped it from spreading. So grateful to have found it. Might not work for everyone, but definitely worth a try if you’re prone to mastitis like I was.

Item is as described and it arrived on time. It helps with the flow of milk and get out the 'knots' or 'clumps' within the breast. The baby now feeds better.

This is portable and it soothes sore breasts and improves the flow of milk. You can store in your caddy by the bedside or pop it it your purse. It feels like a deserving massage for a weary Mom! I highly recommend it.

Awesome if you struggle with clogged ducts

like the product. work well for me
