Do the breast shields disconnect from the connector as shown in the picture? I need them to disconnect so it can be used with the pumping bra

The absolutely do...I use a hands free bra. All the parts come apart for cleaning purposes too.

Yes, however...they ship it wrapped in plastic with a note to leave it in the plastic. DON'T do that! It will leak at the connector. Remove the plastic around the nipple end and you'll be fine.

unfortunately, in my case, they don't. you either need a snug enough bra (which isn't ideal if you're breastfeeding) or you really need to make sure they are centered nicely, so if they move, the pad can still absorb the leaking.

yes. my bra is from 'pump ease' and it works fine. I am pretty sure these would work with most styles of pumping bra

No. These are not flow-control devices, only connectors. The pressure needs to be shut off first... I don't think it will disconnect if pressure exists. FWIW, after getting used to these connectors I am never going back to using the thread-on thread-off attachments.

Look for Simple Wishes pumping bra online, great bra! Just be sure not to walk away from what doing (I like to computer surf while pumping) b/c you forget your attached to the pump! I did that a couple times, sometimes loosing my milk and practically breaking my pump. Better yet, do your pumping over a soft surface if possible, JIC.

Yes. They were all interchangeable with the ones i had and they also fit on my Medela breastfeeding pump.

For the most part, yes! I have to readjust them after nursing - they bunch up a little when you move the bra around. Otherwise they don't move much!

Quick disconnects are not attached to this fitting. It has a female hose thread and a male hose thread.

Not at all. The only leaks I get is when I am removing the bra and cups, sometimes milk drips then but that can't be helped. This bra is perfect :)

Mine came with the standard type quick disconnect connections. Sorry but I don't know the actual name of the disconnects.

There is a small hole in the back, opposite the side of the breast shield. The tubing only creates the suction from the pump. The milk flows from the shield down through the valve and into the bottle. (see picture). There should be instructions in your pump and in the box with the kit.

I didn't have that particular brand of pumping bra but I used it with my homemade pumping bra( I just use a sports bra with holes cut in it) and it works. It is a little trickier to get the flange through the hole because it is attached to the valve piece, unlike the medela flanges that detach from the valve portion, but I was able to do it with a little bit of wiggling. If the hole on the bra is very small with no give it might be difficult, you might have to cut the holes larger or get a different hands free solution.

Yes, they do! They connect (at least to the Pump-In-Style Advanced I have and I would assume any of the other similar Medela pumps) just like the bottles they give you with your pump do...they are literally the exact same bottles with the exception of the markings on the bottle. These are the BEST deal!!

I would order the black - that's what I have and the milk I have splashed on it doesn't show. Yes- easy to keep milk off of if you unzip the bra to take off the pump parts. If you try to take the pump flange off through the bra you will have spillage onto the bra.

Yes. Both ends have high quality brass hose connections. The Male end is all brass and the female end has a well made plastic connector. I have quick disconnects on both ends for emptying a water tank using a transfer pump; haven't had any problems.

I had to buy a smaller size too, they fit great with the pump. I got them from the same brand, I don't know about fitting shields from other brands. My pump got a hole in the rubber part that stretches to pump air. I got another entire pump, and the same thing happened. Finally I got a Medela electric, and it also came with the standard 24mm shields. I used my 21 ones without a problem.
