Default Eeek! What if the power goes out and you're on an electricbreastpump?

This happened not once, but several times, in England recently, and
I've heard that it's happened in India, as well... and makes a curious
warning for the users of electric-powered breastpumps!

Amanda C____, was alone with her baby at home using an electric
breastpump one day. She had the suction cups attached to both breasts
at the same time, and the motor was going strong, (as loud as an
electric shaver, as many of them are!) when suddenly THE POWER
FAILED. It was a blackout in her neighborhood! The kind of power
outage that takes a half-hour or more for the power company to find
and fix... She was mortified to realize the suction cups were locked
in place under FULL SUCTION, ---and they weren't letting go! It was
a struggle just to try to get herself loose from the machine!

As if that weren't bad enough, the phone rang! It was an important
call, although I wasn't told if it was her husband or her office. But
she was 20 feet away from the phone and couldn't get free of the
apparatus to reach it in time!

She and another user, Miriam on the outskirts of Liverpool, got
literally bruised by these experiences.

People "beat themselves up" with an electric system. That's exactly
how a woman described this to me. But this would never happen if a
person was using the patented purple pedal powered "Versaped" system.

It also has this wonderful virtue in which money saved can be applied
to having a better life: It is as inexpensive to buy a BRAND NEW
"Versaped" model as to buy a USED electric system. And, it runs
without electricity.

And, the suction and rythem is self-administered and self-adjustable.
This makes for an altogether more pleasant, as well a safer,
experience, than having a motor cranking away, and dials to turn,
etc.

And the question must be asked, even with sterilization, DO YOU REALLY
want yourself, (or your daughter, sister, wife, or friend) to be
collecting milk with a USED breastpump, when a NEW one IS available
for the price you'd rather pay?

Here's a link to the site which explains everything,

http://www.breastpumppedal.com

and although it is proudly Made In The U.S.A., shipment is available
to anywhere in the world for this wonderful, inexpensive system...
even England!

Best, -----e.a.
