Miss the twist tie bags!
I have the Medela Pump in Style, and with my first son, I used the Medela storage bags with the twist ties. These were perfect! No storage problems, no leak problems. With my second son, I couldn't find the twist tie storage bags anywhere (stopped making them?) and instead found these bags. I have had nothing but problems! The tape does not hold very well, it is hard to tell if the ziploc is closed all the way (so I end up checking it at least five times before storing it, and another two times before warming it up), and I can't tell you how many times I have had these bags leak! With the old bags, if we accidentally dropped one on our hardwood floor, no problem. These bags explode like a cheap water balloon! And if they are frozen and you drop them, you can also create a leak which you won't even know about until you thaw the bag out. I wrote to Medela expressing my displeasure with their product, and the response I received was to call customer service with my problem. Thanks, but no thanks. I'm glad I'm almost done nursing.

Don't waste your money....
These are not my favorite. I find them very awkward to use. Several times, I have had the milk spill out of the bag while pumping. I have been very careful in attaching them, but depending on how I sitting, the bag tends to fold and then the milk spills. I usually just pump in the bottle and pour into the bag to freeze. I also find it hard to close them without having milk gush out. They also don't lie flat in the freezer making them hard to stack. I will not be buying this type of bag again..

I love these bags
The bags are very convinient. I don't put the bags straight on the pump because I don't feel like I get a good read on the oz. So I pump in a bottle and then pour it in the bag. I don't mind doing it, but if you wanted to skip a step, these bags are great for it. I recommend them. I have defrosted a few and it's easy and not at all messy, the zip stays put.

Name confusion
We bought this product thinking it included a pump! the name and photo is a bit misleading. That said, we love the bags, they are high quality and have all the features required of the product.

Better than bottles but not by much
I bought this product to limit the number of bottles I would need to purchase. The bags aren't as easy to use as I hoped. I have to press the 'seal' a handful of times to make sure it's completely closed. When the bag is reopened, it's cumbersome to get milk out without tearing the bag completely or spilling the contents. The measuring on the bags is an approximate measurement (as stated on the bags) and that's the last thing you want to think about during the middle of the night when you're either filling the bags or trying to reopen them. Overall, the product is better and cheaper than using bottles but still needs vastly improved in price and functionality.

Don't Buy from Breakout Bras!!!
I purchased this through Amazon from the retailer Breakout Bras. Over a week later it never came in...even though the shipping date said it would be a few days. When I contacted Breakout Bras they were rude and kept telling me to ask the post office. All the post office told me was that I needed to file a missing mail report but this did not mean I would get my product. When I called back Breakout Bras they basicly told me too bad....and refused to send me a replacement. Their customer service rep was very rude and when I asked to speak to a supervisor she placed me on hold then hung up! I was very upset and felt I should not have to pay for their poor shipment policy. It is not my problem that they are too cheap to ship via UPS or Fedex where a signature is needed and less likely to lose mail. By this time my milk supply had decreased drasticly because I was not pumping enough due to limited storage. I ended up going to Target and buying the same product for $3 more. I wish I had known they sold them at Target before I placed the order. Then the product came the next day...too late...I had already opened the one from Target. Word of advice...forget the $3 savings and just buy from Target. Its not worth the hassle.

Great Product
I pump multiple times a day, everyday, and will only use these bags. They are high quality, no-leak, and easy to use. The yellow tear strip is a clever way to latch the bag onto the breast shields and will not tear or slip so long as you are pumping properly (i.e. sitting or standing upright and not bending over to pick up something off the floor). According to my local maternity store, they are also BPA-free.

hard to zip
It takes a lot of strength to close the zip. Sometimes you think it is closed but it is NOT! And when you try to store the breast milk, it leaks! It happened to me a few times already!

The bag leaks
Beware. The bags are expensive compared to other bags. I have had problems with leakage when I thaw milk. Also, it's hard to pour milk out of the bag. I'm disappointed in this product
