With only 3 parts, the Closer to Nature ™ breast pump is easy to clean and put together, and simple and effective to use. The soft-touch, flexible cup moulds to your breast for comfort and support. It comes complete with a milk storage bottle, and its own microwave steriliser box.

I used this pump in conjunction with breastfeeding, so didn't need to pump large amounts of milk. It was easy to use and clean (fantastic with a newborn!) and you had the small bottle to store in the fridge. The sterilser was handy, if my main steriliser was in use. All in all a good product.

I found this pump very messy to use. When I had alot of milk it was easy to express a large quanity, but often the milk leaked and poured down my front. Getting let down down was really hard too. However, it was easy to put together and clean.

Really easy to use and to assemble. Comes with its own sterilising box. Although I use it regularly it is probably better for occasional use as pumping by hand is tiring! I thought this was good value for money as it also came with breast milk storage pots and a closer to nature bottle which you can pump directly into.

I bought this because it was recommended by friends and had good reviews. I found it quite painful to use and not very effective. The actual pumping mechanism also got milk stuck in the middle bit which was frustrating since when you're pumping for ages you don't want to waste precious milk in a badly designed pump. Cleaning it was not very easy either - I've ditched this one and am using the Medela Harmony which is far better.
