Can you use the bags with a Medela pump?

they are sort of like a fancy, sterile, double zip ziplock bag. I just take the collector bottles off the pump and pour them right into the bags. The bags do not attach to your machine at all. I hope that helps

Sure! I pump into bottles then empty them into any brand of storage bag to freeze!

Yep - you just can't attach it. You just pour it from the bottle when you're done. I have a Medela pump and these bags are far superior. They hold more and never leak.

I have successfully pumped directly into these bags from my Medela Freestyle. Before attaching the membrane assembly to the shield (and to me) I slip the bag over the area where a bottle would screw on and use a rubber band or hair tie to hold the bag on. As the bags get full they get a little heavy so I try to do this when sitting where I can support the weight of the milk on a table or such while I pump because it makes me nervous, but I have had to get up a couple times with full bags and never had any problems, just be careful when removing.

You can actually use all medela parts with the hygia pump (except the tubing). I did.

if your pump is wider than the medela have you tried attaching it directly to the playtex bottle itself?

No. You need to buy the convention kit, it is sold on Amazon as well. I bought one, and it worked perfectly with both medela and lansinoh pumps.

I'm sorry but I don't know about that. I have only used the medela pump in style. If you call the manufacturer of hygeia I'm sure they can direct you to the best possible adapter. I'm sorry I couldn't be of better help to you.

No. Medela bottles have small necks. This conversion kit makes Medela breast pumps work with Avent bottles.

Don't agree with the YES answer. It's a bit more complicated, but I tried to answer this in a video that shows both the Pumpin Pal next to the Medela:

I tried the medela bags with it and it didn't work well. But there might be others put there that would work better. I also typicallyb pumped more than I needed per bag so it was better for me to divvy it up into bags later.

I do not see any reason why you couldn't use it with the Medela bags they are about the same size).

I used Medela bottles with the Ameda pump these go with, so I'd say yes. :)

Yes. I have a Medea and there was a set of 2 of those adapters and a few other pump brand adapters too

Nope, the product comes with two sets of bag adapters, so you get four total adapters. I love it because if one set is dirty, I still have one pair of clean adapters to use! I use the 6 oz honeysuckle breast pump bags too. They seem much sturdier than Medela and also the milk fat doesn't stick to the inside of the bag as much as it does with Medela bags.

Yes. I had the medela freestyle pump and another medela pump and the bottles fit both. I know other moms also used them with other varieties of medela pumps.

Yes, you can use these. They are of a similar mould of the containers that come with the pump originally.

No these bottles do not fit onto the Medela pump, I pump into Medela bottles and pour into these.

I never used the manual pump but I don't see why not. I used several brands of storage bags with my medela pump.
