love these
These bags were a lifesaver, especially if you are pumping a lot. This made clean up so much easier, and I felt better knowing the equipment was getting sanitized. Very easy to use and definitely makes clean up so much quicker then handwashing all of the pump parts.

Great for getting rid of thrush
My son and I developed thrush (yeast infection), due to a large dose of antibiotics I was given after surgery. I got the thrush and due to breastfeeding, and I passed it onto my son, who got it in his mouth. It is hard to get rid of thrush, a fungus, because it survives almost everything! These Medela steam bags killed the fungus, and helped us break the cycle of passing it back and forth. I put my breast pump parts, pacifiers, and bottles components in the bag and killed everything! I used three bags at a time, I washed everything in the sink, filled one bag, put it in the microwave and filled another, then put it in the microwave after I took the first bag out and then filled the third bag while the second was in the microwave and the first was cooling down, it was a great system. We got rid of the thrush and my son's pediatrician said that under normal circumstances boiling and sterilizing are not necessary, so I discontinued to use the bags, but once in a while I throw his pacifiers in the bag and nuke the germs!

These are fantastic!
At first I thought these were a waste of money...until I used them. They make life so easy, and after having a baby that is exactly what you want. These are great for sanitizing pump parts, pacifiers etc. I love them and can't live without them! Also it makes pumping at work easier and discreat.

I love em!
These bags are so helpful to sterilize pacifiers, tubing for breastpumps, Take-N-Toss spoons, pretty much anything baby needs! I use these bags everyday for everything...even some of our stuff! Great product!

Very useful
This is very useful. I use it every day. The instruction said that I can use upto 20 times, but the bag broke before then.

Almost 5 stars
These are great and I would have given 5 stars except that they are a little to tall for my microwave. I am breastfeeding so don't have to use them very often, which makes the price even better.

The MOST useful item in my Mommy Bag!
Hands down, a terrific time-saving useful item that WORKS! The hospital threw one in w/ the pump we purchased. It took a few days after being home to discover it in our goodie bag, and I wish we had on Day 1. Improved my whole day/night!! Beforehand, I'd stand at the sink, run the water till it got hot (thereby WASTING water), scrub everything by hand with a soapy towel, dry everything off - what a huge hassle that took 20 mins or more!! Why struggle with something like this when there are so many other things to figure out, especially as a new mom?
With these bags, just quickly rinse items to get the milk off, put your bottles, nipples, pump access. or whatever into the bag, dump in 2oz of water and nuke for 1-1/2 min or so (there is a chart on the bag to tell you how long for what wattage microwave - longest is 3 minutes). You CAN'T mess it up! Each bag is good for 20 uses, and there's even a checkbox area to mark each time you've used the bag to help you keep track. Though, I'm guilty of sometimes using one more than 20 times, so far no problems.
1. Takes A LOT less water to clean items, helps conserve.
2. Works quickly & better than washing by hand.
3. Useful for more than pump accessories - nipples, bottles, caps, etc.
4. Items tend to dry faster, air-dry within a minute or so.
5. Leaves you more time to do other things - (enjoy your baby)
These are CHEAP!! Give them a try - if you don't like them, no biggie - but you WILL!
[I would've loved to have gotten these as a shower or new baby gift!]

These are a great way to sterilize FAST.
I really like these bags a lot. When I first saw them I wondered how well they would work. Since I am always looking for products to simplify my life, I decided to give them a try. I am not sorry I did. I love these. All you have to do is add a few ounces of water and zap them in the microwave. I clean all of my breastpump parts and bottles in a snap. I really like the fact that each bag can be used up to twenty times which makes them really cost efficient. There is even a spot on the bag where you can write your baby's name and there are twenty boxes that you can check off so that you are aware of how many times you have used the bag. I always keep these handy.

Excellent product!
These bags are everything they claim to be -- extremely convenient and very effective. I consider them a "must-have" item. I've been pumping twice a day at work for 5+ months and these make it so much easier, not having to scrub all the parts when I'm done -- just rinse, put them in the bag with the required amount of water, microwave for 3 minutes, pour out the water, and it's all ready for the next use. I can leave my pump and parts at work all week, and then just bring it all home on weekends to hand-wash everything. The bags last a long time, too; I've been able to get 20 uses out of each bag, just like they say. My only very minor complaint (actually not so much a complaint, more like a detail to watch out for) is that the steam vent/pour spout is just big enough for a valve membrane to fit through. I found this out when I shook the bag a little to get the excess water out, and a membrane slipped out and landed in the sink, so I had to clean it all over again. But like I said, this is minor compared to the time-saving convenience of this product.

quick, convenient, and effective
With these bags I can have a single set of pump parts and still pump 3 times a day at work. I just rinse the parts, throw them in the bag, and microwave for 90 seconds (in 1200 watt microwave) and they're ready to go for the next session. It's so much easier than having to boil them in a big pot of water and the parts don't get cloudy either. My daughter is 9 months old now (I've been pumping for 7 months) and hasn't had a single stomach problem yet, which leads me to believe this system is very effective at killing germs.
