# We couldn't imagine using it during a break at work.  #

I pumped with my Avent Isis for 1,5 years - both at work and at home :) .

Every day of the week, three times a day for about half a year, twice a day
for another half a year and finally once a day for the last half a year.
Several hundred times, close to a thousand, I guess. I found it gently and
efficient, small and easily transportable, and quiet, which was important
for me when pumping at work.

PS. Over here the most common model (found in 'every' store) is Medela's
handpump. Electric pumps, even rental ones, are hard to find and expensive
(our insurance system won't cover such). Avent Isis costs only about three
times as much as the Medela's cheapie, and is definitely worth it, if one
needs to pump rather regularly. Even pumping in order to donate milk works
great with Isis.

PPS. If anyone wonders why did I pump - for daycare.
