We believe that breast pumping should be a confident, comfortable experience, wherever life takes you. That’s why our curated range of breast pumps and accessories are designed to support mums at home and on the go.
What sets us apart is our holistic support system — combining award-winning products, personalised one-to-one midwife consultations, and accessible feeding hubs in local communities. We’re here for mothers from pregnancy through to early parenthood, every step of the way.
This is probably the first time you have had to distinguish between your nipple and areola and for most of us this is the first time we have had to place a measuring tape or ruler to our nipple.
Be sure to measure both sides, as nipple sizes can differ on each breast. For the perfect fit check the chart here
Fitting Guide Disclaimers
1. Size Recommendations Are Guidelines Only
The sizing chart and fitting guide provided are for general guidance purposes only. Every body is unique, and the recommended insert size may not be the perfect fit for every individual.
2. Measure Carefully
We strongly advise selecting an insert size that closely matches your actual nipple diameter. Accurate measurement (ideally when the nipple is warm and relaxed) helps improve comfort and pumping efficiency.
3. Fit Should Be Comfortable
The insert should not feel tight, constricting, or cause any pain while pumping. If you experience discomfort, irritation, or nipple blanching, stop use immediately and try an alternate size or consult a lactation professional.
4. Trial and Adjustment May Be Needed
Finding the right fit may require some trial and error. What works well for one mum may not work for another, even with similar measurements. Factors like breast tissue elasticity, nipple shape, and pumping frequency all play a role in fit.
5. Nipple Size Can Change Over Time
Nipple size can change throughout pregnancy and your breastfeeding journey. Please keep this in mind and recheck your nipple measurements regularly, especially if you experience changes in comfort or milk output.
6. Not a Substitute for Medical Advice
This guide is not intended to replace advice from a lactation consultant or healthcare provider. If you're experiencing ongoing pain, low milk supply, or concerns related to pumping or breastfeeding, please seek professional support.
7. Product Use Warning
Improper sizing and prolonged use of an ill-fitting flange or insert may lead to nipple damage, reduced milk output, or clogged ducts. Always monitor your comfort and pumping results, and adjust as needed.

The Fraupow Hands-Free Breast Pump allows busy mums to pump milk whilst getting on with all the other stuff they need to do.
Baby's mouths and mama's boobs are designed to go together, but when you bring a bottle into the mix it can disrupt the feeding flow.
We've worked with breastfeeding and medical experts to develop a teat and bottle for combination feeding.
Unknown Origins: No single cause has been proven. Theories include:
- Immature digestive or nervous system
- Sensitivity to stimulation
- Trapped wind or feeding technique
- Not Your Fault: Parents do not cause colic. It’s not a reflection of your parenting or your baby’s health.
No Magic Fix: There’s little solid evidence for any treatment. Most remedies—drops, supplements, special formulas—have mixed or minimal results.
What Can Help:
- White noise, swaddling, rocking, pacifiers
- Upright feeding and thorough burping
- Babywearing or motion (e.g., car rides)
It’s Hard—Really Hard: Colic can be emotionally draining. You may feel helpless, frustrated, or even resentful. That’s normal.
Support Matters: Lean on your health visitor, GP, or parenting helplines like Cry-sis
(UK: 0800 448 0737).
Trust Your Instincts: If something feels off—especially if crying sounds different or your baby isn’t feeding or growing well—seek medical advice.
Colic is brutal—but you’re tougher. You’re learning, adapting, and showing up every day for your baby. That’s heroic.
Print this. Stick it on the fridge. Share it with your partner or support network. And when the crying starts again, take a deep breath and remember: this too shall pass.
Pregnancy and the first year of motherhood can feel overwhelming. Suddenly, you're faced with questions you never imagined asking—Why do my hips ache when I walk? How long does postpartum bleeding last? Is this the right amount of milk? And what on earth do I do with the placenta clip when it falls off?
At Fraupow, we get it—because we're women supporting women. That’s why every Fraupow Wearable Pump comes with free 1-to-1 consultations with a fully qualified UK midwife. No need to wait for your next appointment—just hop online and chat with a real expert who’s ready to answer your questions, big or small, throughout pregnancy and your baby’s first year.
Because you deserve support that’s as real and responsive as you are.
In the UK, the NHS advises that you start pumping after your baby has been born. They say:
“If you do not need to express your milk straight away, it's best to wait until you and your baby feel happy and confident with breastfeeding before you start expressing milk
regularly.”
However, for premature or poorly babies who can’t feed directly from the breast right away, the NHS advises: “If your baby is too small or poorly to breastfeed, it's important to start expressing as soon as possible. Aim to express 8 to 12 times within 24 hours (including once at night). Your midwife and the hospital staff can guide and support you – there may be a lactation (breastfeeding) specialist at the hospital.
Once your milk is flowing, you can start using a breast pump if you prefer.”

You can tailor the Fraupow Wearable Pump so that it perfectly hugs your oranges and melons, giving a comfortable squeeze and a gentle seal. Choose the right insert or flange to use with your pump so that it fits you just right. You can even have a different set for each boob if your nipples are different sizes!
To ensure your pump stays efficient and has optimum output, the pump’s Consumable parts (silicone valve and diaphragm) should be replaced every 1-3 months depending on how frequently you use your pump. As these parts are important components for the pump's performance, they work extremely hard to ensure the suction is effective which can cause wear and tear, this means that they will need to be replaced as often as needed throughout your pumping journey.
We are proud to offer the Fraupow Wearable Breast Pump at a price that is much lower than the competition, meaning that more women can access and use an electric breast pump. This means that we don't fill the box with unnecessary extras that you have to pay for but will never use. Instead, we offer a free set of extras and then the extras can also be purchased separately, so you can buy exactly what you need and save money.

Nooooo! Pumping should not hurt. If you feel some discomfort ensure that you are using the correct size of flange or insert for your body. Adjust the pump's intensity level until you find one that is comfortable for you.
If you continue to feel discomfort please take advantage of the free midwife consultations you
can get as a Fraupow Mama. Head to the booking page to arrange a free 20 minute live chat, audio or video call with a qualified midwife who will help you to figure out what’s going on.
Which mode is right for me?
The Fraupow Wearable Pump has different modes and intensity levels so that you can find your
own rhythm. Here’s a guide to the different modes to help get you started;
Massage - gently prepares the breast for the let down phase.
Expression - 12 levels of intensity
that can be controlled manually so that you can find the most comfortable and effective level of
suction to express your milk efficiently.
Auto - starts on massage, switches to level 6 expression mode and stays on that level.
Lactation - combination of gentle and medium suction levels to mimic a baby’s nursing suction (available only on the 2023 upgraded Fraupow pump) - this can be used when breast feeding and collecting milk from the other breast.
Cleaning
- Take your pump apart carefully
- Using a sanitising wipe, you can wipe down the motor preventing any liquid from
entering the suction holes.
- For the collection cup and internal parts (silicone diaphragm, valve and linker and
flange), using warm soapy water, wash your parts gently to remove any excess milk.
- Rinse with warm water and prepare for sterilisation.
Sterilising
The collection cup and internal parts can be sterilised using one of the following methods:
- UV Sterilising - please follow individual equipment instructions carefully
- Hot Water/Boiling Method - ensure temperatures do not exceed 100 degrees celsius and parts
are sterilised for no longer than 5 mins
- Cold water sterilising solution/tablets - clean water in a clean bowl, using the adequate solution/tablet amount, please follow instructions for chosen sterilising solution/tablets.
We recommend that your pump is cleaned and sterilised after each use to ensure there is no build up of old milk or bacteria and to keep it squeaky clean and hygienic for your baby.
Remember that even though only you can supply the breast milk, anyone can pitch in on cleaning the equipment!
Your pump should always be stored in a cool, dry and clean place - pump parts should be thoroughly dried after cleaning and sterilising. In your pump box, you should have received a handy little pouch to pop your pump in should you have no alternative.
If you want a more robust way to keep your pump tidy and protected, take a look at the Fraupow Cooler Bag and Wetbags which are good storage alternatives with both designed to fit your pump perfectly along with any other accessories, nipple balm and some chilled bottles of milk for later.
The pump has a run time of 100 minutes when charged fully for a minimum of 2.5 hours. As with any electrical product, this is dependent on the mode and intensity level that is used i.e. the higher the intensity level, the more the pump will have work which means more battery power is required over a shorter duration meaning the battery will last less time.
