Like not having bottles in front of me while I pump, but they're bulky so not discreet. Also, added inconvenience from having to transfer milk from cups to bottles for storage. (Dec 05, 2016)

Couldn’t get nearly as much out of these as with the regular flange/bottle set up, and they’re not exactly discreet, so I don’t see much of an advantage to using these Dec 23, 2022

I've used these for multiple babies now, and I love them. I have used them with the freemie pump and with my medela and Spectra. Oct 31, 2022

Did not work for me at all, suction was not comparable to traditional flanges. Feb 21, 2022

I did not like these (used with Spectra S1). They were bulky and I didn't get as much per pump with these compared to the Spectra or Pumpin Pals flanges. Jul 16, 2021

No matter what I did I couldn’t even get a Hal oz out of either breast. Worst purchase ever Feb 23, 2021

Very nice. I use while feeding from the other side Aug 18, 2020

Great with spectra pumps ! Apr 30, 2020

Fairly bulky, BUT i love the hands-free aspect. Perfect for road trips as I can still cover up with the cups in while driving. Also good for pumping while nursing. Compatible w/ Medela Pump-in-style. Apr 14, 2020

These were nice in a pinch when I needed to pump discreetly and on the move, but the suction was not as good as my regular flanges. Feb 19, 2020
- Amber G.

Love these! For someone who hates having to hold onto two bottles while pumping, these are awesome. I can fold laundry, surf the web, or snuggle my baby while pumping. Jan 17, 2020
- Jackie S.

I used these when I went back to work so that I could be hands free and not need a pumping bra. They were very easy to use and easy to clean as well. Jan 01, 2020
- Elizabeth G.

These are game changers. I can easily pump while driving, which saves me so much time with 2 kids under 2. Jul 18, 2019
- Carina B.
Kent, Washington
I love the hands free freature and they worked great at first but as my breast grew the cups started to leave marks on my breast. I started to decline in my milk production to only 1.5 oz on each side Mar 23, 2019
- Tina D.
Palos Verdes Estates, California
Every pumping mom should own these, makes pumping much more convenient. Stores up to 8 ounces of milk and allows pumping while working. Mar 20, 2019
- Melissa Y.

These cups are the best!! They work with the Spectra pumps. The cups fit in your bra and you can pump under your shirt anywhere. With the freemies I've pumped at meetings and sitting in my car. Feb 15, 2019
- Amber A.
Northampton, Pennsylvania
Great for pumping at work, just can’t lean too far forward or milk will come up the tubes. Also wish they had more flange sizes instead of just the 25 or 28. Need smaller options Jan 23, 2019
- Jaimey A.
Fremont , California
Seems like it could have been a great product but because I have larger breasts it was hard to get the positioning right and the suction didn't seem strong enough. Jan 21, 2019
- Kelli S.
Broadview Hts, Ohio
These are expensive $75 roughly and NOT returnable. They did come with parts to use with my models pump but found them inefficient (pumped about 50% less) and an all around pain to use. 2/10. Jan 16, 2019
- Allison P.
Winter Haven, Florida
Love! I could put these in a loose fitting bra and I could work (I work from home). They are very Madonna-esque but do the job and make pumping easier and hands free Jan 11, 2019
- Krista R.

Great for on the go moms! Easy to put in and go while still pumping. Do not leak and easy to transfer milk to storage bags. Easy to clean, but do NOT sterilize! Jan 07, 2019

I bought these for pumping this time around-I’m excited to try them! Jan 03, 2019

I use this with my Ameda pump. It has made pumping at work easier. I am able to pump and keep up with emails and other computer tasks. I don't feel like I am behind while I take care of my baby. Nov 06, 2018
- Parisa C.

While I was nursing, I was a nanny. I purchased these to wear at work. WOW, these were a life saver. If you need to discreetly pump, buy these right now. Nov 02, 2018
- Kara B.

I LOVE these for on the go pumping. I use them at work, in the car, or even doing dishes! The are not very discreet (you look 2 sizes bigger) but its so nice to be able to pump hands free/ covered Oct 26, 2018
- Kira P.
United States of America
I absolutely LOVE these! I work full time & stay very busy w/my job & I have gone w/out pumping but w/ these cups, I can now pump while completing tasks @ my desk that I couldn't before (no privacy). Sep 11, 2018
Will be great for when I go back to work. I will be able to pump more discretely. Aug 29, 2018

Super easy to clean, easy to use, long hose, great sizes, easy to pour out into bottle. Having hands free was so nice to have as well instead of feeling like a milk cow lol Jul 26, 2018
- Natalie R.
Miami, Florida
These are amazing, you can hold your baby and actually get things done while pumping. I bought the 21mm insert from maymom and produce as much as medela flanges. So discrete you can pump in public Jul 23, 2018
- Hannah R.
Daleville, Indiana
Best investment! I can pump hands free at my desk at work! Jul 07, 2018

These are super convenient but I felt like they didn't provide enough suction as my regular flanges. Jun 07, 2018
- heather g.

not discrete at all. 1 the pump pumping is kinda obvious, the cups are not boob like looking especially if you have bigger breast does not look remotely natural. suction is a lil weaker but it works Jun 01, 2018
- Katie W.
Des Plaines, Illinois
These have allowed me to pump on my drive to work every day for the last 3 months. Although I have had the occasional leaking, overall I do not have any problem with these. May 27, 2018
- Secretly Expecting
Downingtown, Pennsylvania
Works fine with DDD cup. Feels more comfy than flanges that dangle and pull when full. Pros: holds 8oz each side, hands free, less parts-easy to clean. Cons: can spill while pouring out if not careful May 23, 2018

Why weeLove Milkflow Lactation Cookies:
In case you need a valid excuse to eat cookies, here’s a really good one: boosting milk supply. Nursing moms need to fuel their bodies to keep up with the demands of milk production and new parenthood. (If you’ve been wearing the same pants for three days—we get it, girl!) While lactation teas, capsules and powders aren’t for everybody, cookies most certainly are.
Milkflow™ from UpSpring created the first ever lactation cookies made with the dream team of ingredients: Fenugreek and Blessed Thistle. These two essentials work together to help naturally promote breast milk supply in those early days, during your baby’s growth spurts (when you’re glued to the glider for feedings!), and pumping sessions.
Available in Oatmeal Raisin and Double Chocolate Chip, cookies are non-GMO and made in the USA with all natural ingredients. These tasty treats come in packs of two—perfect for tossing in your diaper bag for a healthy snack on the go. Each box comes with 10 packs (20 cookies total), so you’ll be able to keep your milk production going strong while keeping “Hangry Mom Running Errands” at bay. It’s a win-win.

This ended up decreasing my milk production cause it would never get tight enough to get great suction Jan 26, 2020

For the cost and having to rig them to work with the Spectra, this was not worth it. Never felt like I could get great suction. If you are trying to discretly pump around people these aren't it. Jan 16, 2020

Wood Dale, Illinois
Yes, these i loved. So much easier than holding the medela bottles. I was handsfree and i could surf my phone while pumping. They do fog up a little and it's hard to tell if you are still getting milk Oct 09, 2018
- Brandi C.
Great Falls , Montana
I really like mine except that I have the original and they tend to leak and also on a big chest the suction is not great. My husband bought them for me so I could be more hands free Apr 30, 2018
- Sarah W.

AMAZING! This makes pumping at work so much easier. Totally hands free. They are rather bulky but worth it. Easy to put together and use. I wish I had these from day one! Mar 05, 2018
- Kayley N.

Because I pump exclusively, finding a breast pump that makes this task easier is like searching for a needle in a haystack. While this is great for pumping in the car, it's cumbersome and loud. Dec 28, 2017
- Amy S.

This was terrible, followed instructions to a T. the milk spills out, its hard to adjust the horns, and everyone knows what you are doing. Jun 20, 2017
- Amanda M.

I use these while driving :) Look big under shirt (DD pre pregnancy). Surprised to get more milk out faster. Wish they emptied through a different hole than the tube goes in. Medela pump. Overall A+ Feb 25, 2017

I love this because I can pump and drive!!! It does look ridiculous on me but these cups allow me to pump milk during my commute to work. Jan 29, 2017
- Christa T.

Such a great product!! Loved the hands-free aspect, it fit easily in a regular bra or tank top. Didn't have flat sides so after pumping, it did need to immediately be transferred to storage bags. Dec 16, 2016

I was excited to have a discreet, hands free way to pump. There were two issues though: it was a bit loud and they weren't as discreet as they claimed to be. You could still see them while pumping. Nov 26, 2016

This product is a great concept that could use some major improvements. Not discreet, not easy to use, not worth the price at this point. Nov 25, 2016
- Emily S.
Brooklyn, New York
These are not discreet as promised, as they require some sort of bra to hold in place. It's hard to see the milk flow, difficult to set up, and a bit expensive. Nov 23, 2016

Everyone-
Q: Are there any Medela pumps this doesn't work with or certain models it works better with?
asked by Sarah C. - Jan 26, 2017
-
I think it will work with all of them! You use your original pump tubing, and then connect the freemie tubes to those tubes!
Ashley W. - Jan 26, 2017
-
I can verify it works with the pump-in-style. Like Ashley said, you use your original tubing so it should be universal and Medela uses the same tubes for all their pumps!
Christa T. - Jan 26, 2017
-
I used these with a pump in style and they work great! I highly recommend them!
Kaitlyn J. - Jan 26, 2017
-
I used with the Pump In Style and it worked great. It comes with tube extensions and little connectors that go in the medela pump tubes. That's how it converts. I would think most of the medela tubing is the same so it should work.
Kasey H. - Jan 26, 2017
-
It should work with any medela pump because it just attaches to the tubing.
Jen B. - Jan 26, 2017
-
I tried w the Freestyle and the PIS. Worked with both. Not quite as free to move around as I thought I would be with the Freestyle as the cups will spill.
Liza M. - Jan 26, 2017
-
I used this with the Medela Pump in Style Advanced and it worked great. It works with most Medelas but not all...it states this on the description: Connection kit for Medela/NUK/Hygeia breast pumps (not compatible with Medela Freestyle or Swing).
Lacey O. - Jan 26, 2017
-
I used it with my Medea PIS. It took some trial and error to get it working but I figured it out. The directions were not too clear.
Dagny F. - Jan 26, 2017
-
I had the pump in style advanced but there are a lot of models that it works with! It had the capability to adapt to many styles of pumps
Amanda S. - Jan 30, 2017

I used it with a PIS and it worked well, I also had some issues with the directions but did get some answers on their website.
