So I bought this Playtex breast pump shortly before our son was born. Nearly everybody I knew said "buy a Medela! they are the best!". I didn't think it was worth and extra $100 so I decided on the Playtex. I knew I would only be using the product about 3 days a week and whenever else I might need to so I didn't' want to spend an arm and a leg on it. I have had excellent luck with past Playtex products, read through the reviews and decided it was the right one for me...WRONG! This may be an excellent pump for some people but it just hasn't worked in my favor, or more importantly my baby boys. It never expresses as much milk as I felt it should (feeling very engorged two hours after you pumped is not a good sign!).But here is the final nail in the Playtex Pump coffin, it took skin off! I currently have two little v shaped owies on my breast thanks to that milking machine! I was furious and in pain!
So last week I emailed Playtex to tell them about my experience (not expecting any kind of reply besides maybe a form letter for an apology) fast forward to this week and to my pleasant surprise I receive a voice mail from playtex leaving me with a case number and a contact person. When I returned the call it was swiftly answered by a cheery young lady who offered me an apology and...wait for it... a refund!!! I was shocked! So now I am excitedly shopping for a new breast pump and am getting the Medela I should have bought first time around (why didn't I listen to EVERYBODY that told me to buy one of those in the first place!?!?)... now, which one do I need...
