Thrive 2-in-1 Breast Pump Extra Wearable Cups: Setup & Care

Quick Answer

Set up your Lansinoh Thrive extra wearable cups by aligning them securely with your pump, then rotate and clean them properly to maintain hygiene and comfort.

Setup and Care Steps

1. Wash and dry your hands: Before handling any pump parts, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water. This prevents transferring germs to the cups and milk. Clean hands are the first line of defense against contamination.
2. Inspect the cups: Check each cup for cracks, tears, or warping. If you notice any damage, do not use the cup—replace it with a spare to avoid leaks or poor suction. A quick visual check can prevent frustrating mid-session issues.
3. Align and attach the cups: Position the extra wearable cup so it aligns with the Thrive pump unit, then press firmly until it clicks or fits snugly. Make sure the cup is centered over your breast for a good seal. Proper alignment ensures consistent suction and comfort.
4. Start pumping and adjust: Turn on the pump and adjust the suction to a comfortable level. If you feel pain or notice air leaks, reposition the cup or check the seal. Comfort is key—never push through pain.
5. Clean the cups after every use: Disassemble the cups and rinse them in cool water, then wash with warm soapy water. Use a brush to clean all crevices. Rinse thoroughly and air-dry on a clean towel. Avoid using harsh detergents or dishwashers unless the manufacturer says they are safe.
6. Store dry cups properly: Once completely dry, store the cups in a clean, sealed container or bag to protect them from dust and bacteria until the next use. Moisture can lead to mold, so ensure cups are fully dry before storing.
