Here is a good example of why it is NOT a good idea to lend pumps to friends:
 This week I had a call from a woman who was given a PIS by a friend.  After
her second attempt, she called to tell me her nipple "ballooned."  I asked
her what the pump was set on and she seemed confused.  She did not even
realize it had a pressure setting.  Of course it was set on high.  My next
question was, "How long did you pump?"  45 minutes!!!!!!!  She said that was
what her friend had told her to do and there was no information with the
pump.   Ouch!!  I just hope that she hasn't caused damage to her nipple which
will affect breastfeeding.
Just my thougts
