  "title": "Breast pumps for comfortable holding during long sessions",
  "question": "Which breast pumps are comfortable to hold during a long pumping session?",
  "answer": "Medela Harmony: The handle has a soft-touch surface and an ergonomic swivel design intended to reduce hand discomfort. The PersonalFit Flex shield has a soft rim, oval shape, and 105-degree opening angle intended to reduce milk-duct pressure and improve comfort.\nMEDELA Freestyle Flex: The pump alone weighs under 1 lb and is described as palm-sized. The listed 13 5/16 × 7 × 9 1/2-inch dimensions and 5.63 lb weight are for the retail package. Experiences are sharply divided. Many users find the shields gentle and comfortable and report quick, effective expression, while others report weak or declining suction, especially during double pumping.\nMedela Harmony® Breast Pump with PersonalFit Flex™: The shield rim felt soft, smooth and flexible and sealed comfortably, but the handle was less hand-friendly, could become uncomfortable and its unintended rotation was annoying during longer sessions.",
