Medela Hands-Free Collection Cups, Compatible with Freestyle Flex and Swing Maxi Electric Breast Pumps, 1 Set of 2 Cups, White

Having a fussy newborn is never easy so my partner bought this particular model after several recommendations from midwives and even doula's. It's easy to use and straight forward to clean and causes no pain or discomfort to my partner (everyone's different though so don't shout at me if you do feel something.)One important thing to note is that you have to dry the "cup" where it connects to the piping with a thin rolled up piece of kitchen roll completely before pumping otherwise water travels through the piping into the pump itself. Only happened to us once and we soon learned what the issue was. The manufacturers solution was to buy new piping but clean pressurized air done the trick saving a few quid.Would definitely recommend.

I bought the Swing Max pump in a bit of hurry based on friend's and family's suggestion.. however the performance of the pump is extremely poor. Where I used to pump 90 ml using Tommee Tippee's single electric pump across both breasts, I am hardly able to do 45-55 ml with Medela. It collects merely 20 ml from one side when with TT, I used to collect leaking milk of 20 ml from the other breast!!! And the power unit is so damn heavy and no display of anything. I would highly suggest NOT buying this one. Due to hygiene reasons you won't be able to even return obviously.

I’m now 5 months postpartum and finally decided to give the hands-free milk collection cups a go…all I will say is I wish I’d bought them sooner!Just after our baby was born, I ordered the Medela Swing Maxi with the regular attachments and, albeit you can be hands-free when using the collection bottles in combination with a breast pumping bra, you’ll still struggle to get things done and will have difficulty holding baby if needed! Whereas using these collection cups, you can carry on about your day near enough as normal! 10/10 would recommend to any mum :-)

Build quality is good. It's compact and sturdy. Definitely a good option for those who travel a lot.It's easy to use with minimal bells and whistles. The lack of a display is initially annoying if you're used to having one but you get over it quickly.It charges quickly. Having USB is convenient, as is the two funnel sizes. We'd prefer longer pipes though to make it more functional in different spaces as the pump has to stay very close to you.

Amazing product. I purchased the Elvie ones before these and the E traumatised me. This product is so much better. It’s the brand they use in hospital. Very good succion. The battery last long too. It’s a bit noisy but it’s fine. The size is adaptable if you have bigger breast like mine they sell even bigger size separately at an affordable price. It’s much cheap than the Elvie one. Looks and feels sturdier too. If you are a bit lost but want the best I highly recommend these. I tried and wasted so much money but this is the ONE. They are truly the best brand and product, nothing is as good as that on the market.

I purchased this pump after hearing many good things about Medela breast pumps. When I first open the box and assembled the pump, I wasn’t sure how on earth I was meant to hold both bottles and switch the pump on at the same time I purchased a pumping bra, to hold the bottles in however this meant that the suction came loose around my breasts and therefore it didn’t work effectively. I have to use one at a time which takes twice as long and I find it quite uncomfortable even with the correct flange size I’m very glad I purchased this at a reduced price , as I would be quite disappointed if I had spent more money on it.

I was delighted to order this pump as I am returning to work and wanted to get something that was portable, easy to use and one that I was able to use without plugging in (as a bonus feature). After seeing many reviews, I decided to go ahead and purchase it. However, I was very disappointed as the suction power was so terrible. With my previous hospital grade pump, I was able to easy express 150-200ml in one sitting (within 10-15 minutes), but was greatly disappointed when I barely pumped 40ml with this one, even after trying for 30 minutes. I tried again the next day, and was still disappointed once again. I gave it a rest and tried a few days later...and once again barely pumped 50mL. I tried it plugged in and on battery too. The suction power was a little strong, but did not have the same suction technique/strength/style as a hospital grade one. I have now decided to rent a hospital grade one, which I am finding better than this by far! It may work for some, but unfortunately this did not work for me, especially considering how much I spent. Really disappointed it did not work out for me, and I am hoping that perhaps I had a faulty one, but was not brave enough to try and order another one just in case.I did however like how portable it was and easy to use, so that is a big plus!

This is easy to use, I used the hospital one previously and ordered this for home. I only used it once as my baby died the day after I received the pump, so it's not being used for now...
