Why choose a wearable over a traditional pump?

A traditional pump keeps you near a power point and attached to tubes, several times a day. A wearable sits inside your bra with no cords, so you can pump at your desk, on the commute or while holding your baby, quietly and without anyone needing to know.

Is a wearable strong enough to keep up my supply?

Glow reaches up to 320mmHg, so wearable doesn’t have to mean weaker. Every body responds differently, and flange fit matters as much as suction. If supply is a worry, a local IBCLC can help you with your routine.

Should I work with a lactation consultant?

We always recommend it. A pump works best alongside the right support, and a local IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) can help with breastfeeding, pumping, flange sizing, milk supply and returning to work. Our Expert Partners are trusted lactation consultants and maternal health professionals across Australia and New Zealand. Find an expert near you or connect with someone online.

Should I choose the Glow or the Move?

Both are cordless, hands-free wearable pumps. Glow is our most complete kit, with a 24 mm breast shield, five silicone insert sizes (13, 15, 17, 19 and 21 mm), a nipple ruler, a spare motor, a travel case, a built-in night light and a slightly quieter motor. Move includes a 24 mm breast shield, with additional sizes available separately, and also comes as a single.

Will the flanges actually fit me?

A comfortable flange fit can make all the difference to your pumping experience. Every Glow comes with a 24 mm breast shield, nipple ruler and five silicone insert sizes: 13, 15, 17, 19 and 21 mm. Move includes a 24 mm breast shield, with additional sizes available separately. Individual silicone flange inserts are available to purchase in 11, 12, 13, 15, 17, 18, 20 and 22 mm, along with replacement 24 mm and 27 mm breast shields for compatible Bubka pumps. Bubka’s silicone flange inserts are compatible with many breast pumps that use a 24 mm breast shield. If pumping is painful, stop and speak with an IBCLC, midwife or GP. Our Expert Partners can also help with flange sizing.

How much cleaning is involved?

Glow breaks down to just four parts per pump, and a mini cleaning brush for the fiddly bits is in the box. Less washing up means you’ll actually use it.

Can I claim it on my private health insurance?

Bubka is Australian owned and operated, and Glow meets the requirements typically needed for health fund claims on wearable breast pumps. Every fund is different, so check your policy and waiting periods with your provider.

What if it doesn’t work for me?

If your pump isn’t working as expected, our Australian support team can help with setup, suction and flange fit. We can also explain your warranty and returns options if needed.

Will I get help if I need it?

Always. We’re an Australian family business based in Alexandria, Sydney, and our speedy mum support team is waiting for your call. They can help with setup, flange fit and troubleshooting. Most orders arrive within 2–4 business days, with remote areas taking a little longer, and you’re welcome to request a pick-up from Alexandria.

Bubka Glow Breast Pump | How to Use & Set Up

Quick Guide

Let's get started with your Bubka Pump

Double Glow Breast Pump With Compact Case

Before your very first pump, here’s what to do:

Fully charge your pump motors using the USB-C cables
Wash and sterilise all the parts that touch milk (anything made from plastic and silicone)
Use the flange sizing card to find your best fit (this is extremely important
Pop on a supportive nursing bra - snug but comfy

💡 Bubka Hack - Pumping upright really helps with milk flow & getting your flange size right is a game changer. If pumping feels uncomfortable, it’s usually incorrect flange size.

Let's get pumping...

Once everything is cleaned and sterilised, and your motor is charged - Check this video, you’re ready to pump!

💡 Bubka Cleaning Hack - Check out our Portable Cleaning Kit, Steam Sterilsier Bags, Breast Pump Wipes

Assemble the pump (duckbill valve and diaphragm installed into the milk collector then install the breast shield)
Close the silicone stopper on the pour spout
Place the pump inside your bra, making sure your nipple is centred. Do this before adding the motor so you can see what you’re doing.
Attach the charged motor until it clicks
Long-press the power button to turn it on - Check this video to see how to toggle between modes

Not getting much milk?

Double-check flange fit and alignment. It’s so important the the pump is centred on your nipple. A sure sign of this is if you can feel a letdown in the first few minutes of pumping and, after pumping there is so damage to your nipple.
Sit upright
Start low on suction and build up
Make sure valves and diaphragms are clean and secure
Suction feels weak?
Silicone parts may need replacing
Check for milk residue making parts slippery
Reassemble carefully and give everything a good press together.
Leaks?
Make sure the stopper is closed
Ensure everything clicks into place and is sealed tightly. Especially the base where the collection cup meets the breastshield.
Try not to lean forward while pumping

Why might I need a breast pump?

Most mums pump at some point, and the reasons are as different as the babies. Not every mum needs one, but most find it gives them more flexibility and a little more of themselves back.

Bubka Wearable Electric Breast Pumps come in various flange sizes, ranging from 11mm to 27mm. Choosing the correct flange size is essential to ensure proper milk flow and prevent discomfort or nipple damage.

Flange sizing is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Here are a few steps to help you determine the correct flange size:

Measure your nipple diameter: Using a ruler, measure the diameter of your nipple at its base.
Add 2mm to your nipple tip diameter measurement: To allow for comfortable movement and prevent nipple rubbing.
Choose the closest flange size: Compare your adjusted measurement to the available flange sizes and select the one that is closest in size.

Bubka Glow is best for longer pumping sessions and mums wanting stronger suction (hospital-grade+ up to 320 mmHg) in an all-inclusive, premium setup - it includes a full flange fit kit, spare motor and a built-in soft night light, plus a leak-proof stopper and self-standing design, making night pumping and getting started much easier with less guesswork.

Bubka Move offers hospital-grade suction (up to 300 mmHg) in a lighter, anatomically shaped design made to move with you; while not everything is included, it’s a more streamlined option that gives you a flexible, fuss-free start for everyday and on-the-go pumping.

We also have a Pump Quiz, to help navigate which Bubka Breast Pump is right for you: https://bubka.com.au/pages/pump-quiz

Step 1: Soak the Parts (excluding motor)

Step 3: Rinse Thoroughly
Once scrubbed, rinse each part thoroughly under cool, running water to remove all traces of residue.
Step 4: Air Dry
Place the rinsed parts on a clean paper towel
Step 5: Assemble
Once all parts are completely bone dry, you can now assemble and ready to pump!

Bubka is the Australian family business helping new mums regain their independence.

The idea for Bubka was born just days after our son was born.

I struggled with breastfeeding, which I knew was common. But I wasn’t prepared for the difficulty that came with pumping.

When the midwife wheeled in a bulky electric breast pump with tangled cords, she gave me a quick and complicated run down of how to use it, then left.

There I was, 4 days postpartum, crawling around on the floor to find a powerpoint behind the hospital bed, trying to untangle the cords and decipher the pump settings, only to find out the pump was broken!

I knew there had to be a better way for new mums to express breast milk.

And so Bubka was born.
