As an exclusive pumping mom, the cups make it much easier to fit in time to pump with a little one without taking away my time with him. The cups are very easy to use and insert. Three cons: 1. Cleaning is more tedious than using the flanges. I store the parts in the fridge and wash it nightly to help with the load, which helps. However when it comes to nighttime, I despise washing all the little parts. 2. Difficult with bigger breasts. My breasts are on the larger side and it feels as though the cups aren’t as efficient as pulling out milk as the flanges. I do use size 17 inserts ( purchased seperately) which has helped. My output is similar but if you are like me and value every 0.5 oz, you may want to use the flange instead. 3. Large cup: even though the cup is great and can sit in your bra, while you feed your baby, cook, or clean bottles, it is still a hefty piece. I still go in the other room when guests are over, and don’t wear it in public, but that is more of a personal preference. Pro tip, don’t bend over and pick up your child while using the cups, the milk will leak out of the pouring spout. If you need to pick up your child, squat and keep your chest upright. Overall love this and it’s great for when I want to pump and bottle feed my baby/ do house chores at the same time; however if I have time, i prefer to use the flanges.
