Maymom Two Piece Breastshield membranes Compatible Reviews Summary

Compatibility

Pros:

• "Compatible with my Medela pump and parts, just as effective with a more affordable price."
• "It’s exactly like pictured! I love the quality, it fits perfect & for reference I have a Medela pump in the black carry on case!"
• "These are excellent quality replacements and at a much better price than the official Medela parts."
• "They were compatible with my medela pump no problem."
• "So much cheaper than brand name replacements and wonderful quality."
• "Great replacement flanges that fit Medela Pump In Style."
• "Works with medela pump, I am so much more comfortable pumping now with the right breast shield size."

Cons:

• "Unlike Medela parts, the breast shield and connector are all one piece. Since I cannot disconnect them, I cannot use this item with my hands-free pumping bustier."
• "Also, since it's one piece it can't be used with the Medela manual pumps."
• "I got this since the one that comes with the medela insurance is 24mm and the lactation consultant recommended that I use a 21mm unfortunately I had to return this since it wasn't compatible with my hands free bra..."
• "Since this is one solid piece it is not interchangeable with the original parts."
• "I couldn't use it as it did not work with my Medela breast pump even though it said it was for that brand."
• "Marketed as being compatible, I have 2 different Medela pumps and it fits neither of them.... Guess I didn't read close enough."
• "Capable with the Medela pump in style advance but not the manual harmony pump since the joint connection is different."

Design & Ease of Use

Pros:

• "Omg I’m so happy! I didn’t realize how much old parts were affecting my supply. I truly think the one piece design is a major game changer- no seems means no loss in suction."
• "This pair of pump parts is easy to use. Works with the original parts from Madela without trouble."
• "These work nicely. I like them better then the two piece ones. The suction is very good."
• "I bought extras because I am pumping exclusively. I just bought this brand and it’s easier to clean, works better and is better than the manufacturer’s brand."
• "I love these a little more than the Medela ones that came with the pump."
• "I use the hands free lactamed strap thing to pump at work and the one piece flange is no-fuss."
• "I love that the adapter and shield are 1 piece, unlike what comes with the pump ((who doesn't love one less thing to wash and have to remember!!))."

Cons:

• "The one piece is difficult to reach back entirely to clean."
• "It's super hard to thoroughly clean these, even with the little brush they send."
• "If you like to do hands free pumping it is harder to use since you have to maneuver one large piece through the opening in the hands free bra."
• "One draw back is that the horn doesn't actually come off, making carrying it in a case somewhat difficult since it doesn't break down smaller."
• "This makes it much harder to use with a hands-free pump bra since you have to stretch the hole in the bra to fit the whole mechanism through."
• "Since the pieces don't come apart it was more difficult to clean."
• "The only thing that I’d say could pose an issue, is the flange doesn’t come off so it’s all one piece."

Quality & Durability

Pros:

• "I would buy these again in a heartbeat."
• "I just got 7 OUNCES!!!!!!!! on my first pump with these bad boys."
• "These are just as easy to clean as any two-piece shield."
• "They are very well made, fit perfectly with the Medela pump I own (the Pump in Style) and are easy to clean."
• "Very sturdy pieces. Has great suction, i even like it better than the flanges i received in the hospital."
• "These pump parts are nice in that it is only 2 pieces instead of 3 like the medela pump parts, makes it easier to use and clean."
• "Great product for equally great price!"

Cons:

• "Was pleased with this product until the plastic cracked on the flange after 3 uses."
• "They wound up developing spots of what I assume was mold towards the back where a sponge or even a q-tip couldn't reach."
• "The yellow pieces started to break after a while and it wasn’t easy to clean as the clear plastic piece doesn’t come apart."
• "They're definitely not dishwasher safe. I tried to run them through the dishwasher and the yellow flanges warped."
• "I am no longer a fan of the product because milk gets trapped inside and since it is one piece, I can't clean it because it cannot be taken apart."
• "This is by far one of the poorest quality pump part I have seen. It doesn’t even fit the pump and you don’t even get the option to return it."
• "I received my breastshields in a bag that was not sealed. It appears it had been previously ripped opened and taped shut."
