Bump Boxes begins providing breast pumps to expecting Moms
Apr. 28, 2020 (PEORIA, Ill.)—Bump Boxes, the #1 pregnancy subscription box, aims to ease and accelerate the process for expecting mothers to claim a free breast pump with insurance.
All from the Bump Boxes website, Moms will be able to fill out an easy-to-use application form with their insurance provider, and once coverage is verified, Bump Boxes will get a prescription from your doctor. From there, Moms will be able to select which breast pump is best for her and baby and have the breast pump shipped straight to her—for little to no out-of-pocket cost.
“Our goal is to make it easier for Mom to receive a breast pump when she needs it, and reduce the waiting time to receive it,” Christine Deehring, CEO and co-founder of Bump Boxes, said. “We want Mom to have the best products in her hands exactly when she needs them. Most health insurance providers are required to provide breastfeeding support, counseling, and equipment—which includes the cost of a pump.”
Without insurance, breast pumps can cost anywhere between $15 and $2,000, depending on if they are manual or electric.
“We want to alleviate any headache or confusion Mom could have during the process of selecting a breast pump that’s right for her,” CPO and co-founder of Bump Boxes Leland Deehring said. “We essentially take all of the work out of this for Mom—she just has to fill out an application form, and we take care of everything else for her.”
Moms interested in getting their breast pump through Bump Boxes are able to select between a variety of brands depending on their insurance coverage, such as Ameda, Ardo, Elvie, Lansinoh, Motif, Medela, Spectra, Evenflo, and Freemie.
“Mom deserves that the best options be presented to her, with as little hassle as possible,” Paul Singh, CRO of Bump Boxes, said. “The form is easy to fill out, and takes only a few minutes for Mom to submit her information. Bump Boxes will then suggest the best breast pump option based on mom’s location and insurance coverage.”

What You Didn’t Know About Bacteria & Your Toothbrush!
You might not imagine that after you brush your teeth some germs still linger, but bacteria thrive on yourtoothbrush once you set it down after use. In fact, bacteria on your toothbrush can double every 20 minutes resulting in as many as 100 million microorganisms on those bristles. Gross!
This extra bacteria can be harmful to your overall dental health because it can lead to plaque, cavities and gum disease, but how can you keep your toothbrush as clean as your mouth feels after brushing?
Brush with one of Dr. Plotka’s toothbrushes! Using Naturally Antimicrobial* Bristles that are infused with EPA-approved silver, they naturally eliminate 99.9% of bacteria that grow on the bristles within six hours. This means that when you go to brush your teeth at bedtime, you aren’t reintroducing any additional bacteria into your mouth that otherwise would have grown & multiplied in between uses!
Silver is nothing new to the medical world–in fact, it’s been used for hundreds of years for its natural antimicrobial and antifungal properties. Silver suppresses a bacteria cell’s respiration and metabolism, thus inhibiting cell growth that normally causes infection, odor, illness, etc. Here are some other key features that make Dr. Plotka’s toothbrush better oral health tools:
- Flossing Bristles™ – Dual-layered bristle structure provides superior cleaning: the inner bristles, thin as a human hair, gently brush away food and plaque in places other brushes miss while the outer thicker bristles ensure complete cleaning of gum and teeth.
- Soft Long-Lasting Polyester Bristles – Get up to one extra month of use thanks to polyester bristles which bend better than the nylon bristles found in most other brushes on the market! (The ADA recommends changing your toothbrushevery 3 months. The Doctor Plotka’s brush will last about 4!)
