Cindy,

You asked about personal experience with the PY.  I bought this pump on an
auction, however, it was brand new.  I had a lot of dialogue with the seller
about proper use and such.  She even called me at home to make sure I didn't
have any questions.  ( I thought this was above and beyond for having bought
it at an auction) I have only had to use this pump on occasion and have been
pleased with it.  The kit is what keeps the milk from backing up the tubing.
The way the kit is set-up makes it so the milk can only back up into a
certain part of the kit but then it closed off from the motor.  I really
like this pump for myself.  I only need a pump very occasionally and the PY
has a carrying case and comes out of it, if you need it to.  I have heard
anecdotally that women who use the PY for full-time work are struggling to
keep a full supply, but I have no idea if that is their pumping style,
previous problems or the power of the pump, which is lower than PIS.  The
price of this pump is certainly more within my price range than the PIS ever
was.  Feel free to ask any particular questions that I may have missed.
