I thought it was interesting. Even my 15 yr old daughter (who knows more
about lactation than a lot of pp who should know!) said she thought it felt
more like a baby's mouth than a "sucking" pump.

I'd like to try it myself, as I am lactating. My request was met with "We
have a long hx and have already done consumer tests, of course if you buy
some, you can try them yourself." I don't have the funds to invest over
$900.00 or even $375 (for one) for a pump that may of may not perform well
over time or may not have enough consumer or hospital recognition to
actually sell well. There is not a "rental from the company" option and the
cost to buy them is over my budget.

I DID feel nice on my thumb, but I'm going to wait and see if clients start
asking about it or if the company starts using an LC rental program ala
Mede-- or Ame--E----.
