any mummies using the silicon manual breast pump? heard that it's not very ideal as may hurt the breast etc... as I'm considering to get one and put in office.

hello mummy..i know my reply is coming a bit too late... but I hope this reply will come in useful for anyone who searches for the words "manual pump". Were you referring to the Haakaa Silicone breast pump? I bought one and found it amazing! It didn't hurt at all and I managed to yield abt 60ml within 5mins. You need to massage first and position it nicely and make sure the suction is strong and secure. A couple of things to note: as you managed to pump out more..your breast 'deflates' so the suction and grip is not there anymore... secondly, if milk leaks out and touches the sides of the pump, it will be wet and will result in loss of suction power and might glide off. Anyway I loved it so much that I bought a second piece. I left one set in the office (you can just continue to pump discreetly whilst working at your desk, no noise, no tubings, no cables) and use the other at home.
