I will say, while I have put these into my bra in public before, I do prefer to go behind a closed door, pull up my shirt and properly place them into my bra.

Once you’ve assembled the parts, you just pop these suckers into your bra, attach the tubing, and make milk! Hands free pumping! Woohoo! It’s very easy, all you need is a semi stretchy bra and you are good-to-go. Related Reading: How Long Does Caffeine Stay in Breastmilk? How do Freemies work? It attaches to the bottom part of the tubing attachment thing like so: Unless you are a Medela girl, the valve looks and acts very similar to most breast pump valves. This is the duckbill valve, and it is how the milk flows through into the cup. It fits on the end of the breast funnel like so: 4. I would like to note, depending on which electric pump you have, your tubing ends might look different than mine. It’s where the end of the tubing that comes with the set fits into. This is the tubing attachment thing (AKA I’m not really sure exactly what it’s called), and it does exactly what I’ve described it as. Although, most women will fit either a 25mm or a 28mm, which is why they come standard.
You are able to order different sizes, if you have smaller or larger nipples. Two different sizes come in the box when you order the product, 25mm and 28mm. It can be compared to the “ flange” part of a normal breast pump. This is the breast funnel, and this is the part your nipple goes into. If you are a normal producer, slightly over-producer, or have issues with low supply (like me), these will work great for you!Īlright, let’s move on… 2. If you are a super over-producer, and you consistently pump more than 12-16 oz in a single session, sorry, but these are probably not for you. I’ve never pumped near to that much milk in a single pumping session (my PR is 9.5 oz *first night he slept 10 hours straight*), but I’m sure there are some of you over-suppliers out there who might overflow these guys every once in awhile. That means you can pump up to 16 oz in a session without overflowing. For all you noobs out there, that’s a TON of milk. Pretty standard.įreemie states that each cup can collect up to 8 oz of breast milk per boob. It can be compared to the “ bottle” part of a normal breast pump. This is the cup, and this is where the milk collects as you pump. Compared to some of the breast pumps out there, that’s actually pretty low.

Okay, but the Willow does have its own set of perks which you can read about in my full review of the Willow breast pump. Basically, turn any pump into a wearable pump? At the fraction of the cost of the Willow? Sign me up. But, if you’ve already got an electric breast pump (like I did), you can hook these up to your existing one. You’ll need to use your own electric breast pump, and they just hook up to the end of your tubing.įreemie does sell a double electric pump that you can buy to go with the collection cups. If you are somewhat familiar with an electric breast pump, these guys don’t do the actual pumping part. Okay, so Freemie collection cups are actually just the flange/bottle part of a breast pump.
