The Tommee Tippee Breast Pump is apparently the best-selling manual breast pump on the market.

It has only three parts to put together, which is great compared to it's electric counterpart which is way more fiddly.

The set includes a 5oz BPA-free bottle and slow flow teat with and Easivent valve, a sealing cap for breast milk storage, a Steri box for steam sterilising in the microwave, and also a convenient storage place when not in use and breast pads.

Tommee Tippee state that the soft touch cup is 'rippled for easier and more comfortable expressing' but this is definitely a matter of personal opinion. Some users find that it actually hinders expressing. As with most things in parenting, every woman is different, and while this pump might not work for you, another might – I know I never got on with a manual pump – so it's worth trying another pump before giving up.

A reviewer here says the pump is “easy to use and clean and I found it really easy to switch between breast & bottle with the closer to nature system. I've since tried the closer to nature electric pump and the medela swing pump, but am about to buy a second one of these as it's by far the best for us.” Which is ironically the exact opposite of what worked for me.

Which is why this one at only £10 is great – if it works for you, it's a bargain, and if it doesn't, you haven't lost much!

The popular Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Electric Breast Pump offers reasonable value considering it is frequently on sale, but it does come with a few drawbacks too.

The sleek design makes it a 'pretty' pumping system, and the four speed control is simple to operate. Compared to other pumps I have tried, it's relatively quiet too, allowing for discreet, although not secret, pumping.

There are two big disadvantages, though. First, the air pipe connects to the area the milk flows through before dropping into the bottle, and if the pump is held any other way than the one instructed in the manual, milk goes up the pipe and into the electronics. You then have to unplug the air pipe and blow the milk out the other side, which isn't great for hygiene. As a one-off it's no big deal, but having to do it three or four times a session because you're also juggling a child and so aren't holding the pump exactly right quickly becomes annoying.

The second, bigger problem I found was that the silicone shell – which ironically is meant to mimic a baby's natural feeding action – somehow prevents any expressing. After ten minutes of pumping I had dishearteningly less than an ounce of milk. Once I removed the shell and just used the hard plastic cup, I filled almost five ounces in the next ten minutes.

The pump comes with a feeding bottle with a slow flow teat, a milk storage lid, milk storage pots, breast pads and a handy steriliser box that doubles up as a carry case or storage container for all the bits.

If you can work around the issues, this is a great pump – especially at sale prices – and if you're only looking for occasional use it shouldn't be too bothersome. For a daily use pump, however, I'd pay a little more for something needing less workaround.
