Just a regular vacuum cleaner hose nozzle. You have to play with it a little but once its sets in there (the bag hole) it works great.

A vacuum cleaner worked fine for me. If you need more power, the Black & Decker pump is good.

I use a vacuum cleaner and it sucks every bit of air inside. The problem are the bags' valves. They don't keep the vacuum.

Sorry. I myself can't get one that fit either. Regret not knowing the bags lick would be bigger than regular vacuum machine. Now, stuck because the one sells here does not seem ok.

I have used a standard size vacuum hose and nozzle. Takes a few tries to master, but once you get it boy does it work.I love these bags, I have recently stored 4 throw pillows and three bed pillows in one large bag. Storage problem solved!!

Any Size will work as long as there is an attachment that will cover the valve. I use a dyson dc34 handheld. The opening fits over the valve just fine. FYI. I have been using this brand of bag for a while. They work great. I actually had stored away some clothes that I was going to donate to Goodwill. I put the bag in an outside shed thinking they would stay there till I could get time to take them. I figured about a week. Well, I got busy and totally forgot. A Year and six months later, this past Summer, when I was Cleaning out the shed, there they were. Still sealed tight. No air had gotten in. The clothes still had the fresh sent fabric softener smell.

I would recommend calling Playtex customer service. I am not familiar with that brand. Some pump manufacturers sell adapters so you can pump into different brand/size bottles. That is something to look into as well. Playtex should be able to tell you though. Good luck!

Almost any size will work, I use a High-output oil-free pump delivers 2.8 CFM @ 90 PSI and 150 PSI max operating pressure like this model BOSTITCH CAP1512-OF 1.2 Gallon Oil-Free High-Output Trim Compressor. The larger the better but this works for field use.

We use 4 mil poly bags. But mine has stopped working now. I am going to have to check it out and see if I can fix it now.

I use it on 2- fx6 filters. Works great. If you can find just replacement very fine mesh bags for your pump it should work fine. What I have read about your filter it does a great job with its set up the way it is. If its not broke don't fix it. That's all I got for you nope it helps.

Yes they worked on ours. The included pump adapters also work, but my wife found that the ameda adapters worked a little easier with these bags. These bags are a nice more cost effective and environmentally friendly option. The only knock is that when the bags are full, they don't seem to be able to stand on their own the way the ameda bags do. But they definitely worked for their primary purpose.

I used them with a double pump. The only problem with the bags is that the amount of milk does not match the measurements marked on the bags b

I'm in the same boat (size 21mm valves are preferred for me) but these are 24 mm and with the cushion they add it works just fine. The cushion is actually a nice addition. These actually work better for that than the electric pumps because of the natural pumping rhythm and more hands on style. I hope this helps.

If thats a type of medela product, I would check the specs. I use it for the pump in style shoulder bag and Medela Symphony. I hope that helps

These work with a battery operated pump. I don't know is there is a manual pump for this brand of bags.

I only used it on the thin balloons. I'm sure it will also work on the other sizes. However, it was really hard to get it to even blow up the thin balloons without exerting a lot of effort and taking a long time. I wouldn't recommend this as the best method. I'm sure there are way better pumps out there.

I just use used grocery bags, unsure of the size but just a standard grocery sack, you dont want too big because the material will get heavy, smaller bags probably like 5 gallon size would be good.

I'm not sure about the proper pump, but I took a regular pump with a needle and wrapped masking tape around it till it was the right size and that worked. Hope that helps...

I packed and repacked several of the bags as my space requirements changed. I had no issues. As I am using them in a damp basement, I have them inside of large plastic containers so that they don't tear on the cement floor. Perhaps that is why they have lasted. Be gentle with them and they should give you reusable service. I use the tille pump that you can buy for under $10. It is perfect for the bags. The roll up bags never pack as flat as the pump style.
