Limerick Bottle Holder FAQs
Some of your pumps have either an ES or an EX on the packaging. What’s the difference?
"ES" stands for "Essential" and "EX" stands for "Executive". Both the ES and the EX models are hospital-grade breast pumps and come with the ComforTouch kit. The ES comes with a convenient, over-the-shoulder backpack, while the EX has a larger tote that comes with additional inside pockets and a small-parts storage bag. It also comes with a universal car adapter for those who prefer to express while commuting or doing errands (not while driving), plus a soft, white lap cloth to protect your clothes during your sessions.
What does "hospital-grade" mean?
Also referred to as "multi-user", it’s a health-industry term that means the pump is so incredibly safe that it can be used in a hospital, where pumps need to be shared by multiple users (once sanitized, of course!). In a hospital, that level of protection is crucial. Most retail electric breast pumps are single-user and should not be shared.
Why should "hospital-grade" matter to me if I don’t plan on sharing my pump?
Because a pump that can pass a hospital’s high standards means your baby is getting one of the highest levels of protection available. Also, besides being incredibly durable, a hospital-grade pump has the ability to block potentially infectious particles, which can survive in the pump and/or its accessories for a surprisingly long period of time. Limerick pumps are not only hospital-grade, they’re also a closed-system, adding an extra level of protection.
What does "closed-system" mean?
A closed-system electric breast pump—which all of ours are—means it does not have any openings in the breast cup assembly, and it has a barrier in between the milk-collection kit and the pump mechanism. These special safety feature safeguards both your milk and your pump from exposure to impurities, like dust, smoke, or harmful (airborne) bacteria and viruses. Every Limerick electric breast pump uses Limerick’s ComforTouch kit that comes with a 1-micron filter. Because our lab-tested filter also prevents any milk particles from entering the pump itself, and because it filters the air being exhausted into the room, the risk for cross-contamination and reinfection is virtually eliminated.
Your ComforTouch breast cups say, "One size fits all". How is that even possible?
Because every ComforTouch breast cup is made from a soft, flexible material called silicone that contours to your breast regardless of its shape or size. Add to that our patented vacuum and compression technology—which perfectly mimics your baby’s natural nursing pattern—and you end up with the most comfortable breast-pumping experience on the market. Even better, our innovative pairing of materials and technology actually reduces the risk for nipple pain, discomfort, and distortion that is often caused by the hard, plastic breast flanges sold by other breast-pump manufacturers.
What are the best settings for Vacuum/Strength?
The Vacuum/Strength knob controls the strength of both the suction and compression. The lower the number, the weaker the suction. For the Limerick Joy, most new moms prefer it be between 15 and 36. For the PJ’s Comfort, it’s between 7 and 15 (as indicated by the LEDs). Bottom line: It should be comfortable for you, so adjust the knob—slowly—to what feels right.
What are the best settings for Cycle/Speed?
The Cycle/Speed simulates the rhythm of your baby’s sucking pattern. Use the knob for fine-tuning once you’ve settled on a comfortable vacuum strength. If, after several uses, the cycle still feels too fast, just turn it (to the left) in small increments, as little movements can make a big difference. The goal is to match your baby’s natural pattern.
Is Limerick environmentally friendly?
At Limerick, we are committed to doing our part to protect the environment. Our ComforTouch breast cups are made of soft, flexible silicone that contours to any breast size or shape, thus eliminating the need for wasteful plastic flanges. To expand our green efforts, we have partnered with the City of Burbank’s green consultant and have implemented several environmentally friendly and energy-efficient workplace practices. In addition, our multi-user breast pumps are manufactured for extended use by design.
