Q: Are Motif Roam and Motif Aura Glow covered by insurance?

A: Roam and Aura Glow are covered by MANY insurance plans! To find a Durable Medical Equipment (DME) provider who works with your insurance, use our Insurance Lookup Tool. The tool will generate a list of DME providers who work with your insurance. PRO TIP: Don’t be afraid to shop around. Different DMEs carry different products and also have different pricing.  If you don’t find what you’re looking for with one provider, move down the list to the next option. 

A: Replacement parts might also be covered by your insurance. You can use the Insurance Lookup Tool to find a DME who can help with this too. 

Q: Which sizes of flange inserts are in the box? Are there other sizes available?

A: The Motif Roam comes with 16mm, 19mm, 21mm, and 24mm flange sizing inserts in the box. The Roam breast shield itself is 28mm. We also offer 13mm and 15mm flange sizing inserts for Roam. 

A: The Motif Aura Glow comes with 15mm, 17mm, 19mm, and 21mm flange sizing inserts in the box. Glow also includes a 24 mm silicone breasthield. Additional sizes include 11mm, 12mm, 13mm, and 14mm flange inserts as well as 27mm breastshields. 

Q: Do I have to use the pre-programmed pumping modes?

A: You can definitely use the classic Massage and Expression modes on Motif Roam and Motif Aura Glow. However, we think you’re going to love the pre-programmed General Pumping and Cluster Feeding modes! Both pumps offer lots of ways to customize your experience so you can find what works best for you. 

Q: Do Motif Roam and Motif Aura Glow work for elastic nipples?

A: Both Roam and Glow can work for moms who have “elastic nipples”. Nipples are supposed to stretch, but if you feel yours stretch more than average, here are some tips to help you optimize pumping with Motif Roam or Aura Glow:

• Try a smaller flange size. Often, a smaller flange size will hold back more of the areola which makes pumping more comfortable and effective.
• Turn the suction down. Reducing the suction can help prevent too much breast tissue from entering the flange tunnel. 
• Don’t lubricate. Avoid using any type of lubrication (coconut oil, nipple butter, lanolin, etc.) because lubrication can cause more of your areola to be pulled into the flange tunnel. 
• Keep the pump in Massage Mode. Sometimes, the quick cycle speed of Massage Mode can be more effective for moms whose nipples have a bit of extra stretch. 

Q: How long should I pump with Motif Roam and Motif Aura Glow?

A: All modes on both pumps feature an auto shut-off at 30 minutes. However, this doesn’t mean you have to pump for the full 30 minutes. Most moms find that pumping for 20 minutes is adequate when pumping to replace a nursing session.
