Double-barrel
Breast Pump Bag

Fun Fact: In the early 2020s, breast pump usage exploded so much during the pandemic that U.S. sales of electric breast pumps increased by over 300% in 2020–2021 (per Nielsen and Statista retail data), but a weird side effect emerged: thousands of moms started naming their breast pumps like pets or family members.

A 2021–2022 informal survey by What to Expect and several mom forums (plus viral TikTok threads) found that over 35% of pumping moms gave their pump a name — common ones included "Bessie," "The Milker," "Sucky McSuckface," "Big Bertha," or even "The Exterminator." Many said it helped them cope with the mechanical, repetitive nature of pumping — turning a clinical device into "part of the family."

One mom went viral in 2022 by posting daily "conversations" with her pump named "Marge" — complete with voiceovers and captions like "Marge is judging my supply today."
