I have one that I am playing with. It has some interesting features-- soft
flexible flange, pulsing type of suction, timer to set for pumping duration,
etc. Nice compact size. Has been used for a corporate lactation program for
some years, and just going public now.

One of my clients is trialing it for me right now. The Medela pump was
hurting her no matter which flange type or suction level she used. She had
instant relief with the Limerick and loved it at first, but she's had
trouble maintaining good suction. The problem seems to be with getting a
good seal with the bottle and gasket; the set up is somewhat similar to the
Bailey pump that requires a good seal when screwing the bottle to the flange
body. With the Limerick, if you don't have it right, then the pulse sort of
disintegrates. Now that my client has this figured out, she says it doesn't
pull as much milk out though it is much more comfortable for her. N of 1.

I've also had a colleague/IBCLC try it out; she thought it was pretty good
but didn't get to try it extensively. When she has another baby this summer,
she'll try it out longer for me.
