Before You Start — Setup and Preparation

Wash your hands thoroughly

Soap and water for at least 20 seconds before handling any pump parts or touching your breasts.

Choose the correct flange size

Your nipple should move freely inside the tunnel without the areola being pulled in. Wrong size = pain and reduced output.

Apply a warm compress first

A warm towel 5 minutes before pumping increases letdown speed by up to 30%.

Electric Breast Pump Tutorial — Step by Step

The Deepsea Prime Electric Breast Pump has 3 modes and 9 suction levels. Here is exactly how to use it:

Step 1 — Assemble

Connect: flange → valve → diaphragm → tubing → motor unit → collection bottle. Every connection must be airtight.

Step 2 — Centre the flange and start Let-Down Mode

Lean forward, centre the flange, power on. Start Let-Down Mode for 2 minutes until milk flows, then switch to Expression Mode. Start at Level 1 and increase gradually.

Step 3 — Pump 15–20 minutes, store, clean

Stop when flow reduces to a drip. Label and store milk. See our breast milk storage guide.

Manual Breast Pump Tutorial — Step by Step

A manual breast pump is silent, portable, and gives complete suction control. Here is the correct technique for maximum output:

Step 1 — Assemble and sterilize

For first use: boil all parts 5 minutes. Daily: wash with warm soapy water. Assembly: flange → valve → diaphragm → squeeze handle → collection bottle.

Step 2 — Fast squeezes to trigger letdown, then slow deep squeezes

Start with 1 squeeze per second for 2 minutes to trigger letdown. Once milk flows, switch to slower deeper squeezes — squeeze fully, hold 2 seconds, release completely.

Step 3 — 15 minutes per breast

Continue until breast feels soft. A manual breast pump works just as effectively as electric when technique is correct.

Wearable Breast Pump Tutorial — Step by Step

The Deepsea Premium Wearable Breast Pump fits inside your bra with no wires — completely hands-free. Choose your flange size, assemble, charge, position inside bra, start in Bionic/Massage Mode for 2 minutes, then switch to Expression Mode. Go hands-free for 20–25 minutes.
