Ameda Purely Yours Double Electric Breast Pump with Carryall
PRODUCT DETAILS
The Ameda Purely Yours Double Electric Breast Pump with Carryall is a double electric breast pump for expressing milk from both breasts at the same time or one at a time. The HygieniKit's patented silicone diaphragm creates a barrier that protects the pump and tubing from penetration of bacteria and viruses, including Hepatitis B and C and HIV, from contaminated liquids inside the collection bottle system, and it also protects the milk collected in the bottles from contamination of the pump or tubing during a prior use or by a prior user. One suction dial and one speed dial set the pump, and the kit can be used to single or dual pump. The standard-size 25.0mm (0.98 in) breast flange fits some mothers well, and Ameda makes custom breast flanges in 28.5/30.5mm and 32.5/36.0mm for a different size. It runs on the AC adapter (included) or on six AA alkaline or rechargeable batteries (not included), and a car adapter may be included and is also sold separately. Sold individually.
Key Features and Benefits
- The HygieniKit's patented silicone diaphragm creates a barrier that protects the pump and tubing from penetration of bacteria and viruses, including Hepatitis B and C and HIV, from contaminated liquids inside the collection bottle system. It also protects the milk collected in the bottles from bacteria and viruses from the pump and tubing in the event of contamination of these components during a prior use or by a prior user. The HygieniKit does not remove bacteria and viruses, including Hepatitis B and C and HIV, from the milk collected into the bottle, and using it is not a guarantee against the transmission of Hepatitis B and C or HIV. It does not make it safe for a mother infected with any of these viruses to feed her infant milk collected using this device.
- One suction dial and one speed dial set the pump, and the kit can be used to single or dual pump.
- The standard-size 25.0mm (0.98 in) breast flange fits some mothers well; Ameda makes custom breast flanges in 28.5/30.5mm and 32.5/36.0mm.

Checking Flange Fit
To check your breast flange fit, watch your nipple during pumping: a good fit is the nipple moving freely in the breast flange tunnel, with space around the nipple and not much areola drawn into the tunnel; some or all of the nipple rubbing against the sides of the tunnel means the flange is too small, and more areola drawn into the flange with the nipple means it is too large. If pumping causes discomfort, even on a low suction setting, a different breast flange or insert size may be needed; Ameda makes custom breast flanges in 28.5/30.5mm and 32.5/36.0mm, and its 21.0mm Flexishield is an insert, not a flange size.
Cleaning and Care
Before first use, if the HygieniKit system is not marked sterile, boil all parts except the tubing, adapter cap, and tubing adapter for 20 minutes, then air dry. After every use, wash the milk-contact parts gently by hand in warm, soapy water. The tubing, adapter cap, and tubing adapter are not boiled or washed. Wipe the pump with a clean, damp cloth.
How to Use
Center each breast flange with a good seal, then turn the suction dial to power the pump on. Set the speed dial to a faster rhythm to encourage let-down and lower the speed as the flow begins. The full step-by-step instructions are in Ameda's Instructions for Use: Ameda Purely Yours Instructions for Use (PDF).
Please Note
This pump is a personal care item. For hygienic reasons, this product should never be shared between mothers or resold from one mother to another. Milk-contact parts are non-returnable once the packaging has been opened.
Ameda's warranty covers the first user only: one year against defects in material or workmanship on the pump mechanism and 90 days on all other pump components, from the date of purchase.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How often should I use a breast pump?
It depends on your needs. Many mothers pump every 2-3 hours to maintain supply, while others pump less frequently depending on feeding schedules.
Which breast pumps are the best?
The best breast pump varies based on personal needs. Electric pumps offer speed, manual pumps are portable, and hospital-grade pumps provide the strongest suction.
Do breast pumps expire?
While breast pumps do not have an official expiration date, their motors and parts can wear out over time. It’s recommended to replace parts as needed.
How do I clean and maintain my breast pump?
Always clean and sterilize pump parts after each use to prevent contamination. Follow manufacturer guidelines for safe maintenance.
Are breast pumps covered by insurance?
While some insurance providers may cover breast pumps, our store does not process insurance claims. Customers should check with their provider and submit necessary documents for reimbursement on their own.
Can I reuse a breast pump for multiple babies?
Yes, but only if it’s a closed-system pump. Open-system pumps may harbor bacteria and should not be shared.
