This is great news if you’re seeking a more comfortable pumping experience with another more powerful Medela device. Sadly, the tubing and connectors are not compatible with other Medela breast pumps, but you can use the Flex shields with all Medela pumps. 4x 5oz bottles w/ lids and 2x bottle stands (dishwasher safe).2x connectors with membranes (dishwasher safe).
2x 21mm and 2x 24mm PersonalFit Flex Breast Shields (dishwasher safe).In your bundle, you get the following Freestyle Flex breast pump parts: When I’m ready to pump, I attach the shields and tubing to the connectors – and away I go! Of course, just like anything, there’s a learning curve, but it takes all of 30 seconds to get everything out of my pumping bag and put it all together. The Medela Freestyle Flex is very easy to set and comparable to other traditional pumps.
MEDELA FREESTYLE VS SPECTRA 1 PORTABLE
Other portable pumps (tubing: yes, power cord: no) are as follows:
They are the most discreet type of pump on the market… and also the most expensive ($500). Wireless pumps, like the Willow or Elvie, attach directly onto the breast. The Freestyle Flex is portable, in that it has a rechargeable battery - but it is not wireless (meaning, it still has tubing which connects the unit to the breasts). Note: Breast pumps have 2 sets of “wires”: a power cord that goes from the unit to the wall, and the tubing that connects the unit to your breasts. These are both larger units that are not considered “portable.” The PISA is free through many insurance plans, while the Sonata… not so much. To put it in perspective, Medela’s Cadillac pump (The Sonata) retails for $399 and their bread and butter, the Pump In Style Advanced (PISA w/ Maxflow), retails for $189.
