Standard Collection Cup Set

The Freemie is a game changer. My son has had difficulty latching and so I have been pumping since they day he was born. This has required me to schedule my life around a pumping schedule and be chained to my plug in pump. It has been a lot of work, but he is worth it. I saw the Freemie and read the very mixed reviews. I was a little hesitant to purchase because it’s not exactly cheap and I don’t think it’s returnable. However, for the promise of freedom I went ahead and pulled the trigger. I could not be happier and I recommend the Freemie to all my friends who are nursing mothers. First, I use the cups with the Ameda Mya Joy portable pump and it works without any issues. That was a relief since it is not listed as one of the tested pumps. But it works. I can walk around the house, plug it into the power outlet in the car, etc. The fit...no, it does not look completely natural. You’re putting plastic cups in your bra. Let’s be realistic. The instructions even advise you to wear a loose shirt or a scarf if you want to better conceal what you’re doing. However, you’re walking around with a pump...the motor is pretty audible. It’s no secret what you’re doing. So, why is everyone concerned that it looks like there is something in your bra? I walk my dog, push the stroller, and talk to me neighbors while I’m pumping. No one seems upset. It is not as easy to see if your nipples are completely centered in the flange. I can line them up pretty well when I put the cup on. I haven’t had any issues. You are able to see if the pump is suctioning and pulling the nipple in. It’s just not as clear as a traditional pump. I’m a D cup and don’t have any issues with my breast tissue suffocating the pump as some reviewers mentioned. No, you can’t bend over because there is a drain whole on the top. This is in the instructions and I think also common sense. I just make a point to squat down. Hey, it’s better posture anyway. The bra fit is key. Also in the instructions. You do need to have a decently snug bra because you’re relying on the bra to hold the cups against your chest. I wear a very basic cotton nursing bralette from Motherhood Maternity. It worked out the first time and I haven’t had any issues with the fit or keeping the cups in place. Lastly, I haven’t noticed a decline in output with this system. I pump just as much as when I use my regular flanges. It is true that you can’t really judge output while you’re pumping. There are markers on the cups but you can’t really read them while you’re pumping. I just kinda look in there to make sure it’s collecting something. This is a game changer. It gives you a lot of freedom while pumping. Yes, you may look like you’re wearing Madonna’s bra circa the 1990s but it does exactly what you need it to so, I can live with that.

Ordered this last week and love the mobility it gives me. I have the Ameda Mya and it does work with my pump. I found that once this arrived the funnels that came with my Ameda were too small (25mm that came with Freemie work great and much more comfortable). I wear it with my nursing bra and a shirt over top. The suction works great and I have been able to pump to keep up my supply. I did have trouble with the suction one night and ended up taking the cups apart 4 times before I got them to work right (probably a piece wasn't tight enough inside the cup to provide suction)..other than that no issues at all. I am able to pump and feed my 1 month old at the same time. If you were to wear in public, you'll need something with some extra room in it/baggy (my boobs were already larger due to milk supply but with cups added it kinda looks abnormal).

Like many others, I bought these to pair with a portable pump. I'm completely unsatisfied, especially for the extreme cost. I wish the photos could even come close to showing how awkward these truly are. Pros: Fits inside the right bra. Closed system so they're not supposed to leak. Cons: They're not easy to figure out. They don't look natural at all. In fact, they might blend in with smaller breasts, but they look weird and totally noticeable with my mid-sized breasts (size C/D cup). *See photo You can't really see how your nipple placement is in general through the plastic, and if you have to use an insert to be smaller than 25mm, you can't see the nipples at all to check placement as there's zero visibility. *See photo Finding the right bra to hold them in place AND hold them firm enough is tricky as they require much pressure to have suction. Having them close enough to produce suction makes my breast tissue smother the ventilation holes at the top, which is terrible for the pump and makes the cups creak. It's a great idea, but Freemie has A LOT of improvement to do to make these worth $100. My money is totally wasted here as I've tried them a couple times and they're just a dud. I'm so mad.

This product is great on paper and I was really excited about since I pump exclusively. But in reality, it’s very unreliable which makes it almost useless for me. I use it with my Spectra S2. Pros When it works, it’s very comfortable on. Can be truly hands free. The output was comparable to using Spectra flange once suction setting is figured out. Cons Suction is much lower than Spectra flange. I had to increase the level quite a bit to get the same output and same level of suction feeling. The whole cup setup is extremely finicky. If anything is slightly off, it gives close to no milk even after pumping a full session. This is especially problematic because you can’t see anything (like how much milk is getting collected) while pumping. Couple of times, I took apart the parts and put them back exactly the same way and got better result! Practically impossible to adjust the setup during pumping without touching the milk-touching parts which is a hygiene issue. This makes above issue even worse. The parts are not dishwasher safe. They are weirdly shaped and takes twice as long to hand wash compared to Spectra flange setup. Given how busy the days are, having full pumping session with very low output is a problem and I have to frequently add another session to make up for it. As a result, I avoid using this as much as possible and only when I really need to be more hands free or mobile.

Ho provato e riprovato ma a me non funziona,per quello che costa mi aspettavo un prodotto migliore, Non arriva la potenza,ho tirato solo qualche goccia in mezz'ora!!!😱 Le coppette sono una buona idea ma se non funzionano non servono a nulla!! Io non le consiglio 😔

There are so few reviews for this product in the UK I wanted to add a detailed one for anyone who may find it helpful. I've been using them for about 10 days now to get a good feel for how they work. My baby was unable to latch, and this plus other issues mean that we are currently expressing exclusively for feeds. As a result I need to express 8 to 10 times a day and good amounts so I'm very reliant on good equipment! I'm using a spectra s1 pump but came across the freemie cups when researching pumping bras, none of which looked right for me. These are fantastic! They work. I have managed to bottle feed my baby whilst pumping, eat dinner... I've even managed to pump on the train to clapham junction! I havent noticed any drop in production... can still get up to 300ml using these. Although not invisible they are still more discreet than traditional flange/bottle... pull a jumper or muslin over them and you are decent. Pumped in a restaurant, on a train and in front of my in laws! Easy to take apart and clean You do need to be wearing a proper bra... my soft sleep bra wont do the trick but my former nursing bras do fine. You cant see what's being pumped well through the plastic. I used these holding them to begin with so that I could time how long I needed to be in let down mode before changing to expression mode and also how long it took me to empty both breasts... after this I could just stick to these rough timings each time without having to check. I needed higher settings than I do with my bottles and flanges but that's easy to do. Summary: I love them. I still use the flanges regularly at home but this has freed me to do other things or leave the house for more than 2 hours without worrying about maintaining supply. As with all things theres a knack to then but i didnt find it hard to get the hang of and think they were worth every penny

I absolutely love these cups! They have saved me from getting mastitis quite a few times! I paired with the bellababy pump and it works like a dream. I wore these under my shirt at work and pumped in front of customers! With the music in the store no one knew i was pumping!

Really good but the long cable connecting it to the pump is annoying. Also annoying that you can't use a sterilizer you need to boil it for 5 min

Très pratique pour tiré son lait plus ou moins discrètement ( je l'utiliser au travail) . Volumineux mais peu rentrer dans les soutiens gorge d'allaitement. Très très pratique je n'ai pas eu de fuite. Pr contre c'est un peu plus compliqué pour le mettre dans les sachets de conservation mais se fait .
