What is Pump type?

Pump type is the category a brand puts on a breast pump page, and it tells you more about how the pump is worn and powered than about how strong it is. Ardo and Elvie list their pumps as wearable, Babyation describes the Pump as hospital-grade, and Babybuddhaproducts.com lists the Buddha as electric. A wearable sits inside a bra and pumps hands-free; an electric pump usually pairs a motor unit with bottles or tubes. Labels are not regulated, so treat the word as a description of design rather than a performance rating, and read the suction and output figures separately.
