Adapters for all of your product needs
We have purchased the Twist storage system including the storage bags, active-latch nipples, bottles, adapters and bottle warmer. We have loved it so much we immediately opted to purchase more of the adapters to ensure we always had a clean set.Our daughter is almost 3-months old, and we will shortly be sending her to daycare. We had been using a standard bottle type with an anti-colic feature to reduce gas. We had also been pumping intro traditional bags. So, we were going to have to thaw the bags, transfer them to bottles, let them get used, and wash all the bottle parts each night. It was a lot to transfer back and forth.Now, with the Kiinde Twist Pouch and bottle system, my wife pumps directly into the bag using the included adapter for our Medela pump. Now we just have to take the bags to daycare, the bottle (bag holder), and the active latch nipples. The bag is heated, slipped into the bottle holder and used. After it is rinsed and recycled. All we have to wash each day are the nipples.We love that the process is much simpler and more sanitary. And since we are not transferring milk, we are wasting (and yes spilling) much less.About the company: my daughter had trouble drinking from their system at first. She would go for 20-30 minutes but only get (at most) half an ounce of milk. I went online, and contacted customer support. By the next day I had an email response with some tips and hints. I made the adjustments and everything worked well. Also, we had been using the slow-flow nipples. The customer service agent offered to send me both he medium flow and fast flow nipples to test with (free of charge). I had them in two days, and now we almost exclusively use the fast flow. I wrote back to let them know it was a success, and they immediately send me some more nipples (fast flow) as a gift for my troubles and feedback.Regarding these adapters specifically, they work great with our Medela pumping system. they do not leak at all. We also used the nipple adapter from our existing brand with the bottle system. it worked, but there was some leaking. We think that was due to the anti-colic feature of the nipples however. All in all, you are better off letting your child get used to the active-ltach system that is designed by Kiinde.So, in summary… a great product and stellar customer service!!

Best brand for feeding products!
This is a genius product! So much easier and convenient since you can adapt it directly to your breast pump and saves you the step of having to transfer the milk. I have used it with the Medela harmony and in style pumps and it works great! When I contacted the company as they didn't seem to fit the Dr. Brown preemie nipples I had been using at the time, they were so helpful in getting me set up with the Kiinde nipples which are great quality. I also love the design of their products.After several months of using a few of their products, I can easily say that I love this brand so far! I also bought their breast milk storage bags from Target since I found a better price there at the time and have to rave about those as well! I am the type of person that has to research high and low before investing in a product and especially for the breast milk bags as I noticed the main issue with a lot of popular brands was that a lot of the bags leaked which I absolutely did not want. Kiinde seemed to be the brand that seemed to be the best reviewed overall for quality and no leak issues and I'm so glad I went with them. I have been using them for several months now and have had no leak issues, and love the screw cap and the quality of the bags. Even our caretakers have commented on how nice they are. On top of their products been great quality, their customer service has been top notch. They have been super helpful and very responsive and actually seem to care about the customers and their products. I can't rave more about this product and company! I would recommend this to everyone.

Great product. But I just need more that fits medela, not the whole set
The product is great. I have a pump in style medela and it fits great. My only concern is why do kiinde have to sell them in a set that would fit different pump? I only use medela so out of the 14 adapters, i am only using 2. I don't really know what to do with the other 12. In my opinion, it's such a waste. I need more of the medela adapters for when we travel but my only option is to buy another sets. I feel guilty having to add unnecessary trash to the environment. I wish they would sell a set of each of individual brand adapters. After all, majority of people only use 1 brand of breast pump i believe. So there is no need to own all these adapters. Please let me know if you would sell just the regular adapter tht fits medela. For now, I have to be satisfied with just 2 regular adapters.

My Favorite.
I've tried every milk storage bag known to man and the Kiinde twist milk bags are by and far my absolute favorite. They haven't broken on me on the freezer or busted open in my bag, they're easy to transfer with and you don't have a flimsy, cheap zip closure like most of the other bags. The twist lock is secure and makes storing milk a breeze.I bought the adapters to make it easier to store milk by pumping directly into the bag and it was soooo worth it in the end. I tried the Medela bags and adapter MADE for my pump and I was extremely disappointed with the mess. I wish they sold the Twist adapters by brand to reduce the amount of adapters I'm wasting but I understand why they sell them like that (to make absolute sure you get the right pieces for your pump!).Highly recommend you give them a try. The quality alone is worth a shot.

Fits Medela, but beware of drips
Let me start by stating that I really like the Kiinde system. These adapters do the job of connecting your Kiinde pouches to your pump. I have a Medela pump and they fit perfectly using the "Standard" adapter. Two drawbacks though. First, and biggest, is that occasionally milk will drip out of the connection where the adapter is. I don't know if this is happening on the pump end or the Kiinde pouch end. It's maybe 3 or so drops per session, which isn't major, but is still an annoyance. The second drawback is that you receive all of the adapters in this set. If you just need one size, you end up having to store a bunch of random adapters. It would be great if they sold the sizes individually.
