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. A wrong size can feel uncomfortable. See our flange size guide.

Apply a warm compress first

A warm towel for a few minutes before pumping can help you relax and settle in before you start.

Electric Breast Pump Tutorial — Step by Step

The Deepsea Prime Electric Breast Pump has 3 modes and 9 suction levels. Here is how to use it. For a full guide with photos of every part, read how to use the Prime Electric:

Step 1 — Assemble

Follow the assembly steps in your pump's manual. 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, then switch to Express 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:

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 start, then slow deep squeezes

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

Step 3 — 15 minutes per breast

Continue until the flow slows down. A manual breast pump is a good choice for occasional pumping when the technique is right.

Wearable Breast Pump Tutorial — Step by Step

The Deepsea Signature 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.
