in and start with the different components that make up the Momcozy M5. So if I pull this apart,

I love that this is an all-in-one breast pump. All-in-one means that the motor is attached and

it is just the one unit. So let's pull this apart. So what we have—we have the motor. The motor is

what drives the pump. It gives you your suction strength, and this is an integral part. Next,

we have—oh, sorry—the breast shield or flange. I like to call it a breast shield because sometimes

it can be a little bit confusing. You will also see in your pack when it comes that it

comes with a flange. Now this is called a breast flange—this is also a flange—so you can see why

it can get a bit confusing. So I like to refer to this as a breast shield. It does have the

flange part attached. With the M5, you also have your connector already attached, you have your

collection cup, you have a diaphragm, and you have a duckbill valve. So there's not too many

components. So let's look at putting them all back together. First, you need to attach the diaphragm

to your collection cup. So there's actually a little lip in here and so you need to make sure

that that goes securely over. It generally slides in quite nicely. Next, you will need to then add

your duckbill valve to the bottom of the connector on your breast shield. So that just slides on. You

want to line it up—so I’ll turn it around—so the flat part is aligning with your breast shield and

it's obviously pointing down. Now the great thing about this connector is there is a love heart on

there and that lines up with the love heart on your collection cup. So we will then want to push

that in so it just slides in, and you want to make sure when you're pushing it in that it is aligned

nice and securely with the hearts. Next, you need to make sure that the outer seal is secure. So I

like to just lift up the seal so it goes over nice and easy and then just press around the

edge of the breast shield and the collection cup and you can hear it clicking in. You can do it

a bit quicker if you need. There we go. Make sure that you've got a nice firm and secure attachment

because that's really important not just to prevent leaks but also to ensure that the suction

is adequate and that you're not losing any suction power. Then the last step is to attach your motor.

So that simply just clicks into place. Then you want to turn it on using the power button. Make

sure I turn it around to make sure it's working. Now please—sorry—ignore the flickering light. It

does not flicker in real life. It is just doing that because I'm filming this outside. So once

you have that all together, let's take a look at how this works. Now the first important part

when you are using any breast pump is to make sure that you have an adequate flange sizing for your

nipple. And what I love with the Momcozy brand is they come with this nipple measuring tool.

So you can use this to find your right flange size. Now with the M5, they actually come with a

little pack of different size flanges, which I do really love. It means that you can find generally

the right fit and get yourself started straight away. So the flange—sorry, the breast shield—comes

in a standard 24mm flange size. So if that is not the right fit for you and you need to go smaller,

then you can find the next size down, which is the 21mm flange, and then you just simply push that in

until you get a nice secure fit. Now if you still need to go smaller, then you are looking for the

next size down. So next size would be the 19mm, and then you're just going to simply stack these

in on top of each other. It can be a bit tricky when you are trying to squeeze multiple in until

you get the right flange size. I will say that if you are going to go down to quite a smaller

size—say a 15mm—you may want to see if you can change your overall breast shield sizing so you're

not stacking too many of the flanges. It makes it easier and there's obviously less cleaning.

So once you have your right flange size, you're going to want to align your breast pump on your

nipple and breast. So ideally, your nipple is going to line up centrally with the flange and

straight up onto your breast. You don't want it leaning—you’re going to end up with leaks

as you are pumping. So nice and straight, and again your nipple lined up. Once you have that,

you are going to turn your pump on. Now again, please ignore the flickering—that is not how it

is in real life. It is nice and clear. So with the M5, you can see that there are two different

symbols here. The first symbol—you can flick between them by pressing the recycle button. The

heart is for stimulation and this is really your let-down and the initiation of your breast milk.

So you’ll have this on for a few minutes until your milk flow is in. You can change the level of

suction by pressing the up or down button. Now there are nine different levels of suction. I

love this as this gives you really good control on your comfort levels. And when you're ready

to go into your expression mode—expression, I can't speak, sorry—your expression mode,

you simply hit the recycle. And expression mode is the droplet, and these are long suctions—you

can hear it—and that’s to draw out your breast milk. But what I love about the M5 is they also

have a mixed mode, and that is shown by both the heart and the droplet on at the same time. This

also has a fantastic vibration feature. So if you can imagine while this is on your breast,

inside you have these micro vibrations and they are loosening up your milk ducts so you

can get the most out of your pumping session. The timer—oh, sorry—there is no timer on this

unfortunately, but the LED screen will turn off after about 15 seconds of you not changing any of

the settings.Once you have finished your pumping session, you then turn off your breast pump by

holding down the on/off button. You are going to want to gently push your fingers in between your

breast pump and your nipple to slowly release the suction. You are going to want to lean forward and

then remove your breast pump. Now if you lean forward, you're not going to be spilling your

milk everywhere. Now I love that the pump also comes with a really easy-to-pour spout. So once

you've removed it, you can simply pour it into your collection container. Now once you have

finished cleaning—sorry—finished your pumping session, you are going to want to pull apart all

your different components and make sure they are washed and sterilized for your next use. I also

highly recommend that you then put your pump onto charge. There’s nothing worse than going to do a

pumping session and your pump is out of battery. Now the charging port is on the side—simply plug

it in. What I do also love about the pump is if you are halfway through your pumping session,

you can simply tap the on/off button and it will pause your session for you. You can also see when

you first turn on your pump your battery—that is these three little symbols. When you first turn

it on, if there are three it is fully charged. If they are flickering—so almost how it appears in

this video—if they are flickering, then that means that you are low on battery. Overall I

think that covers it. So if there are any questions, please ask—I will answer them

the best I can. And don't forget to hit like if this has been really helpful. All right, thanks!
