An in-depth Willow GO review (2024)
Mamas, rejoice!
No more being hooked up to a plug in the wall and being totally immobile with bottles dangling from your breasts. Those days are gone!
Wearable breasts pumps are here, and they’re improving all the time.
But let's be real, they’re pricey AF. Like, who can afford to drop that much cash on a boob-sucking machine? Not this mama!
That's why we’re stoked about the new Willow GO - a more affordable version of their original wearable pump. Now, all the moms out there can pump in style without breaking the bank.
Thank you, Willow! You're a lifesaver and a wallet-saver.

What Does The Willow GO Look Like?
Willow GO Pros:
Less money …many women held back from investing in a Willow because they couldn’t justify spending $500 on a pump. The Willow Go is more affordable (and $170 cheaper!) at only $329.
Sleek, fully in-bra design that fits entirely in your bra and is less noticeable in the bra than original Willow.
Easy-to-see milk containers so you can monitor production, and also that the easily accessible buttons on the top of the pump
Has higher suction levels (hospital-grade) and offers a maximum suction of up to -280mmHG. Imagine wearing a wearable Spectra.
Super easy to set up
Comes with two different flange sizes - 21 and 24 millimeters - to help you find the perfect fit. And to make things even easier, they've included a handy dandy nipple sizing chart to help you figure out which size is right for you.
More comfortable because it allows you to choose your perfect flange size at checkout.
Allows you to pump totally hands-free and offers great mobility and multitasking freedom. No dangling cords, tubes, bottles, or wires
More milk capacity. Comes with larger reusable storage containers which hold 5 ounces of breast milk.
Uses traditional pump suction pattern where you can toggle between stimulation and expression modes.
Easy to maximize pumping output. You can find your perfect pump setting with the Willow Go because it allows you to switch between 6 levels of suction for stimulation and 9 levels of suction in expression mode.
Discreet and super quiet.
Easy to clean and setup. Has just 5 dishwasher-safe parts. (no tiny parts which makes disassembly and putting together a breeze!)
Comes with 2 USB chargers, one for each side. The batteries last all day long
BPA-free
BONUS PERK:
Moms who pump a large volume of milk have the option to get 7oz. containers (sold separately) so they can pump 14 oz in one session. (the largest capacity of any wearable breast pump.)
What Does The Willow Go Come With?
2 pumps
2 flanges (21mm)
2 flanges (24mm)
2 container bowls (5 oz.)
2 container backs
2 pump diaphragms
2 duckbill valves
2 USB charging cables (Willow Go is compatible with any 5 Volt, 1-2 AMP USB charging source)
Willow GO Cons:
Doesn't allow for as much movement as the original Willow 3.0 because it’s not entirely leak free, especially if you lean far forward or backward. If you move around a lot while you pump, we recommend the Willow 3.0
Slightly simplified app compared to Willow 3.0. The Willow GO app doesn’t track pumping volume in real time.
More parts to clean than the willow 3.0 (5 compared to 3), but they are EASIER to clean and it’s super intuitive to take apart and put together.
Does the Willow Go have a warranty?
Yup! The Willow Go is covered under a 12 month warranty from the purchase date. Accessories and replacement parts - the containers, flanges, charging cords, duckbill valves, and pump diaphragms - are covered under a 90 day warranty. In order to keep your warranty active, keep your original proof of purchase from onewillow.com or an authorized retailer.
Where can I buy the Willow Go?
It’s available for $329 without insurance on the Willow’s website or on Amazon!
Is the Willow GO compatible with insurance?
Yes, some women are able to obtain a full or partial reimbursement for their Willow Pump and accessories through insurance!
