Top critical review
2.0 out of 5 stars🌠🌠 Stiff and harder to poor milk in it
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 November 2021
I used Lansinoh storage bags (which I was happy with it) but this from Medela appeared in a better price, so I give it a try.
It is much stiffer than the one I used before and can stand alone without falling.👍 Feels more thicker and it's harder to open the mouth to poor milk in it. I had to touch outside of the marked area to open it. Pooring was difficult, because the mouth isn't separated like with Lansinoh.
If I put the breastmilk in the fridge, I overload the bag to avoid using 2 and saving up space and bags. Roughly the same amount of breastmilk (295ml and 290ml in Medela) fits differently into these 2 type of bags, and with Medela I almost couldn't close the top due to the lifted bottom.👎
I have limited fridge and (especially) freezer space, and this breastmilk bag doesn't bands and changes shape to safe space. I'm affraid that won't fit in the same amount with Medela. I didn't try to feeze breastmilk in these storage bags yet, but I'm affraid the review will leave at least 1 star if I did.🌠
It might be a good bag for you, but if you are short with space I wouldn't recommend it.
***UPDATE***
Two stars fallen, so I changed my review from 4 to 2 stars.
I tried to froze my breastmilk in these bags and it can't be flat, even if you place it like that. Unlike the other storage bags, this ones keeps a triangle shape which is not efficient to nicely stock your stash in freezer. The other star is gone, because how I used this bag in the fridge to store pumped breastmilk, with time I realised how hard is to close and open it. I need to slide my fingers a loooot of times to make sure that it's closed properly and it's not practical for fridge use either.
I hope you found my review helpful.
