Very Quick
"- Despite the fact that the pouches take up much more space in my freezer and the difficulty to measure milk accurately, I'm knocking off 2 stars because I've noticed debris inside a few new unused pouches."
"* Quick and easy from pumping to feeding."
"East to prep and feed my baby and easy to pump into these pouches while at work."
"* Generally i love this product; except for the occasional pumping at work when you look down and realize there was a portion of the bag that didn't get sealed at the time of manufacturing and you are sitting in a puddle of milk and have effectively ruined your outfit for the day, not to mention the office floor."
"That's true of any flexible storage container and it's for breast milk - not formula so making sure the volume is precise isn't an issue."
"There's always a small amount of milk that gets trapped in the bag as it collapses at the end of the feeding, and it's hard to work it down to the nipple."
"The only issue with them is that the bag sometimes wont' expand completely with milk in it."

"- Despite the fact that the pouches take up much more space in my freezer and the difficulty to measure milk accurately, I'm knocking off 2 stars because I've noticed debris inside a few new unused pouches... I thought this was a nice gesture and since I really want to make this work because it is a much more convenient concept for this working mom, I decided to keep using the pouches... I check each and every pouch before I use them and unfortunately, I have had to throw out about 10 pouches per box because I've found brown specks inside."
"* Love this system. East to prep and feed my baby and easy to pump into these pouches while at work. Effective, efficient, and convenient milk storage product."
"* Generally i love this product; except for the occasional pumping at work when you look down and realize there was a portion of the bag that didn't get sealed at the time of manufacturing and you are sitting in a puddle of milk and have effectively ruined your outfit for the day, not to mention the office floor... I've had mostly good luck but this is SUPER annoying when this happens not to mention embarrassing. They need to pressure test these or something before they ship them to avoid this in the future."
"The screw cap makes storage no problem because you know it's sealed. Some people complain about the accuracy of the measurement. That's true of any flexible storage container and it's for breast milk - not formula so making sure the volume is precise isn't an issue."
"The measurements are not accurate, so I just pump into Medela bottles and pour into the Kiinde pouches... There's always a small amount of milk that gets trapped in the bag as it collapses at the end of the feeding, and it's hard to work it down to the nipple... The old bag will spread out partially when filled, but you still need to use your hand to open it all the way."
"I can pump directly into these bags using my Medela In Style pump... The only issue with them is that the bag sometimes wont' expand completely with milk in it. I find sometimes I just give up and don't get a full bag of milk."

"Pros: - I love that this system allows you to not need to pump into a bottle and then transfer into bags... - Despite the fact that the pouches take up much more space in my freezer and the difficulty to measure milk accurately, I'm knocking off 2 stars because I've noticed debris inside a few new unused pouches... I did and they offered to send me a free box of twist pouches and noted that the box I received was a result of a rare instance of poor quality control from an older batch and assured me that their pouches are safe and sanitary. I thought this was a nice gesture and since I really want to make this work because it is a much more convenient concept for this working mom, I decided to keep using the pouches... I check each and every pouch before I use them and unfortunately, I have had to throw out about 10 pouches per box because I've found brown specks inside. It might not bother some people but since I don't know what it is, I would rather throw it out than have my baby ingest it... I'm not willing to throw out any milk in case I ever get sick and lose my supply but I am seriously considering going back to using the Lansinoh storage bags."
"I don't like them for freezer storage because they can't be flattened... The measurements are not accurate, so I just pump into Medela bottles and pour into the Kiinde pouches... There's always a small amount of milk that gets trapped in the bag as it collapses at the end of the feeding, and it's hard to work it down to the nipple... Yes, they are a little taller than the bottle, but it doesn't tip over if you make sure the bottom gusset is fully expanded... You also get more accurate measurements on both bags with the gusset fully open. The old bag will spread out partially when filled, but you still need to use your hand to open it all the way... It's really not necessary, plus it makes it even harder to get the pouches in and out, unless you remove it every time."
