Good addition to the pumping toolkit
on July 22, 2023
Posted by: Jo79
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product as part of a Stellar Product Testing Panel. I LOVE my Medela Pump In Style for how efficiently and completely it empties my breasts so I was very excited to try any product that would make it even more functional for me. The cups are overall easy to put together and very comfortable to wear. The suction seemed just as good as when pumping into bottles. I pump three times a day at work and bring the milk home in Medela bottles in coolers to transfer to my daughters bottles she drinks from the next day. So in this circumstance, pumping into the cups was not particularly useful. Since milk cannot be stored in them, the milk has to then be transferred into bottles (creating more to wash), or storage bags (creating unnecessary plastic waste if not putting milk in the freezer). For my pumping routine I think the way these cups really shine is, not for everyday use, but for special circumstances where wearing a pumping bra is not an option. I was recently away from my daughter for 6 hours for an event where I was wearing a dress that had to be worn with a strapless bra. I tried to change into a pumping bra just to pump, which was a hassle. I also tried awkwardly holding both breast shields on one handed which resulted in milk spilled down the front of the dress. BUT these cups can be popped right into even a strapless bra with no stretch. These saved the day! Another thing to consider is that they do take up a lot of space if using an electric sterilizer, though for me this isn’t a problem since I don’t use them every day. Overall I’m excited to add these to my pumping collection!

Amazing
on July 22, 2023
Posted by: JanieM
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Medela Hands-free Collection Cups as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel and they have been absolutely amazing. They allow me to pump hands-free, while I go about my day…giving me more free time to spend with my children.
Instructions and assembly were easy and straightforward. They did not leave me guessing. The overall fit of the cups are comfortable and they fit easily into my bra. Because of their lightweight, transparent design the cups are easy to adjust/reposition when needed.
Overall, I love the Medela Hands-free Collection Cups and would recommend. They have made life a little easier. Even the minimal parts and their easiness to clean have freed up my time.

So so good
on July 22, 2023
Posted by: ToriVP
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been waiting and waiting for Medela to come out with collection cups and these absolutely were worth the wait! My milk output actually increased using these instead of the flanges/bottle combo. These are incredibly comfortable and fit like a glove. I am able to freely pump and use my hands so much better than with a traditional pumping bra. They are also so much easier to clean with less parts to wash. I now want to upgrade my Medela pump to a rechargeable wearable one that doesn’t keep me tethered to an outlet. Thank you to the stellar product testing panel for providing these for review.

Great for a hands free pumping mama
on July 22, 2023
Posted by: Tatianna
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I thoroughly enjoyed this hands free pump. I’ve tried other popular brands in the past most are bulky and don’t fit comfortably in your bra. I did not have that issue with this pump. Another pro, you don’t have to wash so many parts!!! I mean, cmon?! Time saving hack! I feel like it took out a good amount of milk, to be a hands free one. I would definitely recommend to a friend.
My only con would be I couldn’t experience the full freedom since my pump was one that had to be plugged into an outlet. (Pump in style) but I think if it was used with another Medela pump that doesn’t need to be plugged in it would’ve been even better!!! Either way I would choose this over others I’ve used.
Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this breast pump accessory.

Perfect for a working mom
on July 22, 2023
Posted by: HanLand
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a working mom, I am able to use these hand-free collection cups on my commute. They have completely replaced my original cups due to their discreet shape, effective suction, and easy to assemble (and disassemble to clean) model! Thank you Stellar Product Testing Panel for the opportunity to test this product.

Hands free is the way to be
on July 22, 2023
Posted by: TheGromMom
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this Medela hands-free pump from the Stellar Panel in exchange for my hones review. And I’m so glad I got to experience it for myself. For starters, these cups were super easy to assemble and clean. The fact that you don’t need to remove the O-ring each time you clean the cups, really simplifies the process. I appreciate the ease of cleaning since that’s typically the most dreaded task when it comes to pumping products and baby products in general.
This hands free pump is different at first. But has a very small learning curve to it. After you figure out a comfortable (personal) fit, it’s extremely effective and easy to use. I used to use the Pump In Style with MaxFlow Breast Pump system and although it worked great, I kept experiencing the inconvenience that comes with a non hands-free pump; having to hold the pump the entire time, hand / wrist pain from doing so, seal breaking too easily, spilling, not staying put with a nursing bra, etc. Because of this, I love the portability of this pump. It really allowed me to have a relaxing hands-free experience where I could actually take those pumping minutes as a personal “me-time” to just relax and use my phone or catch up on a show rather than my hands and body being stuck to this pump for the next few minutes type of feeling. But even more so, it allows me to get things done that I otherwise couldn’t have while being stuck to a non hands-free pump; while at work, actually being able to eat and take care of myself, quick load of laundry, etc.

Must buy for multitasking
on July 23, 2023
Posted by: Dentalmom
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cups are amazing for multitasking while pumping. With these collection cups you can pump completely hands free which frees your hands up to do other things. The best part is the milk production is exactly the same with these and they are super simple to clean. There are no small parts which makes clean up a breeze and reassembly simple. These are a must buy addition to your pump, you will be so thankful you did. Thank you to the stellar testing product panel for allowing me to test this product!

Amazing Breast Milk Collection Cups
on July 23, 2023
Posted by: Wiawill
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These collection cups are much better than the cups that were provided with the pump. These cups do not leak at the bottom. Additionally, I’ve noticed an increase in milk output. Having no leaks and an increase in output is huge for me because I make just enough milk for my baby so every drop counts. The cups are super easy to clean since it’s only three parts. I also really like the size; they are small and compact but still hold 5oz.
There are only two issues I had with these cups. 1. The O ring makes it challenging to close and have to make sure everything snaps into place properly. However I do understand that the O ring also prevents leaks. I’ll take the challenge of putting the cups together over leaking. 2. It would have been nice to receive additional tubing with the cups. The connectors provided don’t go with the tube I already have or I don’t know how to use these connectors. Either removing the connectors from the box or providing additional tubing would be super helpful for having spare/replacement parts.
I received this breast pump accessory from the Stellar Product Testing Panel.
