Wearable Breast Milk Collection Cups - Works with Baby Buddha, Legendairy Milk, Spectra, Imani, Zomee, Freemie (24mm)

My baby is three months old and I have been back at work for about a month. I ordered the Spectra Cara Cups thinking that would be a great option to have while being on the go. The Spectra cups were very bulky and I did not try them because once opened you obviously cannot send them back. They were also very expensive and I did not want to risk opening and using them for fear of wasting around $70. When I saw that Idaho Jones released the Pump-A-Collect collection cups, I immediately wanted to try them. The price was less expensive and the quality looked a lot better. I have had a good experience with Idaho Jones in the past, so I thought I would give it a try! I am so glad that I did! The Pump-A-Collect collection cups are indeed great quality. They are easy to assemble and clean as well. I have read that you do not yield as much output when using collection cups compared to using flanges. That was another reason I sent back the Spectra cups. I was pleased to discover that with the Idaho Jones Pump-A-Collect cups, that is not the case. I yielded the same output that I normally do! I kept on the Pump-A-Collect cups for 20 minutes and the pictures that I have attached are the results. I used the 17mm inserts and they are easy to pop into place. I normally use liquid shields when I pump and the silicone material used for the collection cups is very similar. The Pump-A-Collect cups are very comfortable to wear and are not bulky compared to the Spectra Cara Cups. The amount they can hold is 6oz (180ml) per cup and it is labeled on the sides both vertically and horizontally. Pouring the milk is SUPER easy and that is another concern I had with using collection cups after reading reviews for other brands. I have not had any spilling issues whatsoever. I use the Pumpables Genie Advanced Portable Breast Pump with the cups and they easily connect to them! I 10/10 recommend the Pump-A-Collect Idaho Jones Collection Cups!

Full disclosure - this is my first experience with this type of cup, so I’ve nothing to compare them to, but I am extremely happy with these.Cons:- Because of the size, they only fit in a couple of my bras, but I imagine this is typical of all brands of cups- First use one of the cups leaked, but I attribute this to inexperience/operator error and not a flaw with the cups (I think perhaps I didn’t have the shield properly sealed to the cup in one spot)Pros:- Love the silicone shields. They are very comfortable- I bought a set of inserts to size down and like that they are clear instead of frosted- Much more convenient than traditional flanges and bottles as I am constantly bumping the bottles in my hands free bra- Decent price compared to competitors (although I wish they were all a bit more affordable)- Work great with my spectra S2 pump. I did use the included tube adapter pieces because they seemed to hold the tubing tighter than without- Late in the day I usually only pump an average of 4-5 oz, but the first time I used these I got 6.75 oz even after I lost some to leakage (my fault, see above)- Easy to pour into my silicone reusable collection bagsI was hesitant to purchase these, since I’d never heard of this brand and there were no reviews, but I am incredibly happy I did. Highly recommend!

I was able to connect the spectra pump easily to the cups. The silicon flange is comfortable, suction is great and the only complaint is the pieces needed to be cleaned and put back together to pump every time, but easy to assemble. Overall, these cups are an awesome addition to a pumping routine. Very convenient and portable setting if you get things done around the house, work and overall life around your pumping schedule/routine.

I got them to use with my portable MomCozy pump. I also got the Freemie cups to compare. I got better suction and more comfort with these versus the Freemie, but there are definite design flaws. Putting them together is annoying, the seal can rotate which makes them not line up right. The duckbill valves are WAY too large for this pump, so hit the side. If you don’t have them perfectly straight and 100% pushed in, you will lose suction. It also can cause milk to get caught in them and not make it into the collection area. No idea why they wouldn’t just use shorter valves.For the price, there are a lot of flaws. I’m using them at this time, but will continue to shop around.

If you choose to purchase this product be extremely careful when emptying the cup.I know we shouldn't cry over spilt milk but this product cost me an entire feeding. Not all mom's are blessed with an abundance of milk.I used this once. Unfortunately, when I went to empty the cup the insert got stuck to the silicone flange cap. This pulled the membrane away from the storage cup causing me to lose nearly all my hard earned milk. The first cup worked perfectly, but the second one did not. Of course the one that malfunctioned had the majority of my milk supply in it. Our milk is so precious. Therefore, I do not recommend this product.If you are looking for something similar, I did purchase the Legandairy cups which are almost identical to these. The main difference is there is not a massive hole in the collection cup.As moms, we all know how challenging the breast feeding journey can be. I was looking for a product that allowed me to double pump. This would allow me to pump more frequently when I went back to work. Sadly, this didn't happen.Hope this review helps guide you through your breast feeding journey! Best of luck mom! You got this!
