Medela Hands-Free Collection Cups, Cups for Electric Breast Pumps, Set of 2

I exclusively breastfeed my baby, but I'm an over-supplier so I need to pump at least 1 or 2 times a day on top of nursing. I also have a toddler and I'm about to go back to work from maternity leave. I knew I needed a solution to easily pump in the car to save some precious time (if you have 2 under 2, you know every moment counts lol!) I had tried pumping with my hands free bra and using the regular collection bottles, and if you've tried that you also know it's not fun. You can do it, but it's a pain and there's no way to be discreet. I don't exactly want to pull up to daycare drop off half dressed. 😂 I've used Momcozy pumps before and still had some from my first breastfeeding journey, but to my dismay the replacement parts for the one I had were no longer available. It was only 2 years since I bought the pump so I was pretty shocked they discontinued that quickly.... I had considered trying to order the cups for Elvie Stride and see if they would be compatible with my Motif or SpeCtra pumps, but they are $$$ and a ton of pieces to clean. Then I came across these! I was nervous they wouldn't work, but from what I can tell you can likely hook them up to any pump. You just plug the tubing you already have into the Medela adapters, and you're good to go! I've used these with my Motif Duo & Motif Luna with no issues. I pumped 10oz with the Luna on my commute today, with no leaks. Pros: • Seem to be compatible with any pump. • Holds a good volume, I had 6oz in one cup and not even close to overflowing. • Only 3 pieces to clean. • Can use with a regular stretchy/roomy bra, you don't need a special hand free pumping bra. • From a reputable and consistent brand, so replacement parts should be easy to purchase (as long as they don't get discontinued) • Easy to pour milk from • Flat bottom so you can set cups on the counter without spilling • I'm sensitive to EMF, and this is a way to have a hands free pumping experience without Bluetooth since you can connect to whatever pump body you prefer (Most of the wearables on the market now connect to an app and have to use Bluetooth) Cons: • They aren't small -- you will have Dolly Parton boobs while wearing. Not a collection cup you could wear with nobody noticing. • There are a couple spots where small amounts of milk can get stuck - but I've had this problem with any wearable I've tried. • The plastic parts can be hard to detach for cleaning, I keep my nails short but if you have long nails I think it might be a challenge to get them open. • Only 24mm and 21mm flange sizes - most moms are smaller. I had to order 18mm adapters from Maymom but they were affordable and work perfectly with these cups. I'm a huge fan of these, I'm thankful for Medela making these collection cups as an option. I hope to see other pump manufacturers follow suit, as this is a way more affordable option than buying a whole new pump. :)

Works well. It is very easy to assemble, wash, and pour the milk. It works perfectly with the Spectra; there is no need for extra tubing unless you don’t want to use both outlets for double pumping. In that case, you would need a double-tubing adapter for a single outlet. The pump's power is not reduced; I get the same amount of milk as I do with the original Spectra handheld pump. As for flange sizes, it comes with two. I already had adapters for my Spectra parts, and I can use those with this set as well. One downside is that when you remove the flange, a little milk leaks out. Also, you cannot bend over, or the liquid will spill. I learned that the hard way! You can get too comfortable and end up doing other things, forgetting that you are currently pumping. Highly recommended. I do wonder if a cheaper attachment would do the same thing, though. I only bought this one because the brand is reliable, but since these are just attachments, I assume a cheaper version might do the same job. I’m not sure

I love these things, they’ve made such a huge difference in my life as someone who exclusively pumps 7-8 times a day. I use them with Medela tubing and a Spectra S1 pump, and when I put my pump in a little backpack I can pretty much do whatever I need to around the house, including picking up and caring for my baby and toddler. I have used regular flanges from both Spectra and Medela, PumpinPals silicone flanges, and the Legendairy Milk collection cups, and these are by far my favorite option. Simple Design: only three parts, super quick and easy to clean and assemble. I can put these together in less than 10 seconds. Effective: I don’t get the loss of suction I had with the Legendairy collection cups, these get me the same output as my regular flanges. Leakage: I can pretty much go about my day normally with these on and not worry about moving or bending. There IS a small hole in the top for pouring the milk out, and if you bend over super far (especially if you produce a lot of milk) it can leak out the top, but it’s only happened to me one time when I really bent far. Discreet: these definitely show up under your clothes, and especially if you have a large chest they will look like a separate little boob on top of your boob. But they’re a more natural shape than the Legendairy ones, and they’re definitely more discreet than regular flanges. I wouldn’t walk in the grocery store in a tight shirt wearing these, but for driving, working at a desk, or pumping while you have friends over, they’re great. And if you put on a big hoodie they’re pretty much invisible. Overall, these are amazing and I’d recommend them to anyone who pumps.

Using this with pumpables genie advanced. Pros: - truly makes life more convenient as you stick these into a sports bra, so nothing is sticking out or getting caught on things. While I cannot hold my baby on my chest, I can easily bottle feed him, which was difficult to do while wearing the spectra bottles as I was previously using. I stick my PGA motor into my purse in public and it’s very convenient. - only three pieces to clean! Four if you choose to wash the o-ring (I don’t wash it every time). It takes a lot of room if you are using the momcozy bottle washer FYI so I wash it in the dishwasher. - sort of discreet. At least more than the other cups on the market. You can wear them under a hoodie and no one will suspect. I’ve done that. people will likely stare at your chest if worn under a tshirt. I’ve also done that. - fits inside regular sports bra; no special bra needed - comfort: just fine. I used flange inserts with the cups without issue. No pump/cup is really that comfy but at least this isn’t painful. Cons: - pricey. Hard to justify $90 for these few pieces of plastic and silicone. You are paying for convenience. - As other reviews mentioned, it is hard to take apart. When I was deciding to purchase it, I read about this but disregarded it. It does make a difference though since you have to disassemble it daily to wash it. It requires prying the cups apart with your nail and it’s easy to accidentally catch the skin under the nail. - output decrease. I am able to pump about 75% my normal output, but I can get closer to my normal amount if I pump for longer (40 rather than 25 minutes). This is unique to each person, but for a just-enougher like myself, it meant I couldn’t use this as often as I wanted. Overall, if you are looking for convenience—anything to decrease the misery of pumping— this is a great product. Minimal parts to wash, doesn’t require special bra, decent output if worn for longer. I use it at work and when I’m running errands and stick with my normal spectra parts otherwise to keep supply up. It’s a decent product if you know about the cons ahead of time. $90 is a steep price to pay but I don’t think there are more convenient cups available. I think if Medela lowered the price it would be way more popular.

I wanted to use the hands-free collection cups on my Pump In Style but cleverly, Medela ensured that you need to buy a whole new pump and tubing for that, so reluctantly I did. Once they arrived I sanitized and pumped while going about my day only to be disappointed that it only got a fraction of the Pump In Style and regular collection cups. After using it a couple more times with minor adjustments the milk yield still have not improved. Upon investigation, I realised that the hands-free collection cups seem to allow small amounts of pressure in overtime, weakening the suction capability, thus pulling less milk. I checked them for cracks but there weren’t none. It just seems like the cups just do not make a good seal in general. I held the hands-free cups in my hands to cover any areas where I thought air might be getting in and was able to get a decent yield. However, once you get a large amount of milk in these cups, getting the milk out safely is like a military operation. Needless to say, spills ensued, and that was the last dealing that I had with these so-called hands-free collection cups. I can deal with the fact that these didn’t work properly and just get a refund. However, the fact that I had to get these in the first place when Medela could just so easily make their cups and tubing universal across all machines just seems like greed on their part. Juggling breastfeeding, working and looking after a newborn is stressful enough without this. Things like this that make me understand why some women would rather just use formula.

I don’t usually leave reviews, but as a first time mom with big boobs, I had to say something about this pump. I was so skeptical because most pumps don’t work for us busty girls, but this one understood the assignment. It’s super easy to use, only three parts to clean, and it’s not bulky at all. The collection cups come with 21 and 24 sizes, so no extra inserts needed. The pump does need to stay plugged in, so you’ll still be seated while using it, but my hands are free with the collection cups. I can hold my baby, play with her, or just relax while I pump. I pump six times a day and already see my supply going up. Definitely big boob approved and perfect for first time moms trying to figure it all out like me. Only thing I’ll say is be careful leaning forward because the spout isn’t covered, but other than that it’s a win for me.

The only reason I give this product a 3 stars is for the convenience. I have the Medela Swing Maxi and pumping into those annoying bottles is nothing short of a disaster. God forbid if your baby crys and you need to move to comfort your child and you lose suction, milk gets everywhere, you end up having to wipe off everything to get a good suction again, its a disaster. When I found out these in bra, more hands free pumping cups existed I was super excited! I will say that I am extremely glad I got them on sale during prime day because you are definitely paying for the convenience not the quality. I cant believe they charge 90 for an item that im sure only costs them a few bucks to make. You would think for that price that the cups would click together effortlessly and smoothly especially for a tired mom at 2-3am. Or that the hose connectors would pop into the tops of the cups nicely instead of feeling like your trying to jam a piece of plastic into somewhere it doesn't belong. On another note, I am guessing a male that obviously has never pumped designed these. When you are done pumping you MUST lean forward while taking the cups off, because the flange fills up with milk due to the poor design of the "duckbill"/flange combo. I learned this lesson the hard way. Oh and don't forget to be standing at the counter while you do this. If you dont keep them tipped forward the milk built up in the flange will spill out but because of the open drain hole on top of the cups you also cannot lean the cup too far forward or you will lose milk that way. So dont suspect that you can pump in the car or anywhere else that you dont have a flat surface because you will get milk everywhere if you ever so slightly tip these cups wrong. I have another hands free pump that does not have any of these issues. Now overall am I unsatisfied with the product? No but I am disappointed in the quality. If I ever lost these cups I would 100% buy them again because they are 1000x better then the pumping bottles and to me the convenience is worth it but I am disappointed that Medela charges so much for a piece of plastic that they couldn't even add nicer quality features too.

After reading some of the reviews, I realized that some of the folks that are saying it leagues didn't actually read the box or look for their products before posting. Yes, cartwheels will be difficult as there is a hole at the top of the cup to alleviate the section. The hole is there for a purpose. Without it, i don't think it would work very well. I was able to do normal day today. Household things including hold my baby while pumping with these. A downside to these would be how much milk is in the flange area of the cup when you go to empty it. I feel like overtime you would lose a decent amount of milk. Section on the cops are great and being a bigger chested woman myself, I found them not horribly uncomfortable. Another downside is the price. It is about half the cost of the actual pump, which I think is a little silly. Considering if you were to buy the connectors and another set of flange it would be half the price. I feel like I was time continue and they find a better way to make them. They'll be cheaper but almost $90 come on. Cleaning isn't very difficult. I find rinsing everything out first before washing is really helpful. Reassembling after washing is very easy. I have found this product to be very helpful, especially when it's just me and baby at home.

The biggest down fall is I did not realise but MEDELA SELL THIS EXACT PRODUCT FOR HALF THE PRICE. Don’t over pay like I did!! I even contacted the seller who is not interested in helping me. These Medela pumping cups and SO good. Compared to my Momcozy and Tommee tippee wearables I get the best output and most comfortable with these. I already had a freestyle but the older pump parts. I don’t like that it comes with adaptors to attach to your tubing, sometimes if you pull on it the wrong way they can come apart easy. It would have been better to come with full replacement tubing.

As a mom who has used the Medela Collection Cups daily, I can honestly say they made pumping significantly easier and more comfortable. The biggest advantage for me is how discreet they are. They fit easily inside regular nursing bras or innerwear, and from the outside it’s very hard to tell you’re wearing them. As someone who is naturally shy, I appreciated being able to pump around family or in public settings without feeling exposed or having bottles hanging from my chest. The hands-free design also made a noticeable difference in my daily routine. I could move around, take care of my baby, or do small tasks while pumping instead of sitting still and holding bottles. It also reduced the back and shoulder strain I used to feel during longer pumping sessions. Cleaning is straightforward and quick. My one piece of advice is to rinse or wash the cups soon after pumping. If milk dries in the small crevices, it can take a little extra effort to clean thoroughly. Since learning that, I simply rinse them right away and they stay very easy to maintain. During the day, I often empty the milk, place the cups in the fridge between sessions, and reuse them for the next pump before doing a full wash later. Overall, these collection cups have been one of the most useful breastfeeding purchases I’ve made. They are comfortable, discreet, easy to clean, and they gave me much more freedom while pumping. I genuinely recommend them to any mom looking for a more convenient and less stressful pumping experience.

Me han servido mucho, así tengo las manos libres y puedo hacer cosas, ya que mi extractor no traía estas y tenía que estar agarrándolas y no podía hacer nada, las recomiendo.

لم اجربه ولم استخدمه وصلني الكرتون مشقوق واكنه قد فتح سابقا ، والمقاس 24mm مكسور

I just had my second child and wanted a hands free pump but all the other hands free pumps don’t have great suction for the cheaper ones anyways. So I decided to try out these cups as they are compatible with my Medela Freestyle Flex. The reviews I read before purchasing were mixed but it has been a game changer for me for pumping since they fit in my bra. There not completely hands free since I still have the tubing connected to the power but I wear baggy shirts anyways while pumping so the cord is hidden. Suction is great and love that there are only three parts to wash. Recommend this for anyone who has existing Medela pump that this is compatible with.
