Does hand expression and massaging the breast work better than pumping?



That's the only way i can fully empty mine. I pump, then hand express afterwards or else there's still full ducts near my armpits and they hurt so bad
Just wondering because I just hand expressed both breast before I pumped and then one of my breast was leaking and that has never happened
In my opinion no
My pump goes full force and emptied me alll the time ,,
Hand expression i got tired after 3 mins lol
