Can I trim the tubes to adjust the length?

Published on 30 March 2025

Do not trim the tubes of your Philips Avent electric breast pump, as this increases the suction level, which may hurt or feel uncomfortable and lower your milk production.

If you've already trimmed your pump's tubes, replace them as soon as possible to ensure efficient milk production and a comfortable pumping experience. You can purchase replacement tubes of the original size on philips.com/support
