Pros: Encourages Breastfeeding!
Cons: close-minded people may be offended!
Summary: I wanted to commend you for this commercial! I think it is wonderful that someone had the guts to do it! I would love to see more commercials that encourage all aspects of breastfeeding, and this commercial, even though it was for the website, did just ... read more

Pros: Realistic and daring (for US TV)
Cons: none
Summary: This is not an explicit commercial. Less skin is shown than in the typical TV ad. There is nothing suggestive or crude about it. You see Mom discreetly using a product that helps her give her baby the best possible food, without much hassle or fuss. ... read more

Pros: uhh? Let me think about this one... ok none!
Cons: Boring, Bad Taste
Summary: I've been reading the epinions of other members on this commercial, so I decided to go watch it myself. Now I wish that I hadn't.
What in the world is this supposed to tell other people about Epinions? this woman didn't make me want to ... read more

Pros: Ridiculous
Cons: Even More Ridiculous
Summary: This ad is ridiculous! How many people would actually hand a breast pump filled with milk to a pizza deliveryman while she gathers the money owed? I had to laugh at this ad; I don’t see where this ad would bring more people to Epinions. I feel that ... read more

Pros: tastefully done, funny, honest
Cons: sensitivity of product's nature
Summary: I was amazed to see how tastefully done this is. As a Mom of three nursed (two weened) children, I've seen some appallingly exposing commercials, etc on nursing care products (in hospitals, Dr offices). But Jen did a good job of demonstrating the use ... read more

Pros: promoting breastfeeding
Cons: none
Summary: There's nothing offensive here. Breastfeeding is a natural process that should be supported for all mothers & babies. I'd much rather see this than a formula company ad - or another baby bottle commercial claiming to be "most like mother ... read more

Pros: Shows the function of the pump
Cons: Some viewers may not like it.
Summary: I can say that this is a very bold step to take when it comes to advertising breast pumps. Medela (the brand of the breast pump) has the guts to do it. I mean how often do you see ads that make bold statements.
In order to sell the pump, they ... read more

Pros: shows how great medela is, but I wouldn't want to log on because I already knew that
Cons: make this a demonstration of how much better it is than other brands and you may have something, that would make me logon to epinions
Summary: Now that would be a breast pump commercial I'd want to watch. That would be a commercial that would want to make go online and see what epinions is all about.
This ad makes me think epinions has something to hide and they have to use hype and ... read more

Pros: Got everyone's attention!
Cons: Made everyone disgusted!
Summary: I truly resent and am disgusted over Eopinions running the TV commercial for the breast pump. I myself breast fed and utilized a breast pump. I don't feel that advertising the breast pump is wrong, but the manner in which it was done was out of taste. ... read more

Pros: showed the proper way to use the reviewed item, makes a good instructional video
Cons: it was too blatant, the scene with the cat sickened me, I didn't think it was appropriate for prime-time TV
Summary: I never really liked milk to begin with, so now that I've decided to stop drinking it completely after seeing this commercial aired last night, I suppose I won't be missing much. This was certainly an eye-opening commercial, I will give it that; but it ... read more

Pros: It reaches your target audience
Cons: The rest of the public is kind of disgusted by it.
Summary: I must begin by stating that I am not a prude, I am not religious, nor am I conservative or uptight in any way. And that is why I think you should give weight to my opinion about this commercial. It is a real turn off! I don't think that it will get ... read more

Pros: Excellent product manufacturer (Medela)
Cons: "feeling like a cow"????
Summary: Formula is an 8 BILLION dollar a year industry that is responsible for causing illness and death in thousands of babies each year. I was SO glad to see a Medela (muh DEE luh) product ad! Finally someone gets it! Thousands of women pump milk and ... read more

Cons: Why did it take so long?

Pros: Promotes a healthy choice
Cons: none
Summary: It's OK to see men's nipples, as they are not connected to round mounds of flesh. We can see the butts of all the men on NYPD Blue, some of which are just round mounds of flesh. But, we can't see a woman demonstrating a breast pump? There is much ... read more

Pros: Attention-getting
Cons: Just plain gross
Summary: Although I applaud mothers who breastfeed their children, I thought the commercial was in poor taste. It seemed to rely much more on "gross out" factor than actual facts. The kitty and pizzaman appearances were way over the top, and took away ... read more

Pros: Concise, understandable, different
Cons: A little too earthy
