can you reuse the pouches

They are not designed to be reused. They are meant to be one-time-use and disposed of. You can clean them out if you want... But I would not. There is no real way to effectively dry them out due to the small opening. When we used them we just threw them away and it was still cheeper than the store bought ones. I hope that this helps.

no but there are other brands that are completely reusable. i have some printed ones that open completely on the bottom and are dishwasher safe, must better to reuse those. I only use disposable for sitters/day care

There is really no way to get in and completely clean the inside pouch. The manufacturer says they are not reuse able.

The company says the pouches are not reuseable. I thought I would try it anyway and washed one out and put it on my bottle drying rack. It never completely dried inside. After a few days there was still water droplets on the inside. So I gave up and haven't tried to reuse them again. I really like this squeeze station though!

You can reuse them. It's difficult to get them off but you can use a dull knife to get it started.

Yes! Just be careful not to puncture and take care in sealing. Yes, they would not be so useful without being reuseable.

Hi Nicole,For health and regulatory reasons, we can not advise washing and reusing Twist Pouches. They are difficult to clean, and sterility is very important (as you know!) when handling breast milk.This is the case for ALL breast milk storage pouches.Make sure to buy 80 packs or 40 packs of pouches (not 20pks), as they are much cheaper!Hope this helps!Thanks,The Kiinde Team

No. There are a variety of pouches that are available that can hold this though.

Yes, you could re-use them the same as you would for regular zip-loc bags. But keep in mind, as in my previous review as well as others, these bags do not seal well. I am constantly having to go back and pump air out of them. They are a made from a different material also that causes a lot of static and causes dry foods, spices extra to get caught up into the zip seal.

It depends. If the package says "Use only once" then you dispose them after one use, if it says "Reusable," then you can wash and reuse them. HIH.

You should be able to reuse them. Just be careful removing the digitizer because the antenna is attached to it. Good luck!

They come with enough for each pouch. Each pouch and lid are one use only. These are not to be reused.

Yes. You can remove that stuff. There are small straps that cannot be remove which help keep the pouch panel in place.

Yes you can. But I had purchased it only for the metal part. I changed the bands and the pouch. The original bands and pouch are low quality

I have reused mine several times already. Unless they get torn or permanently creased I can't see them needing to be replaced or thrown away.

No, but when disassembling damaged gear you can reuse everything there, good luck

The freezer sleeve is reusable but the pouches are one time use only. Just like the pre made ones.

I would not recommend it because they are reusable, and they are thicker than other brands. I absolutely love the product and the bags.

The bags can be reused if you wash them out from previous use. Understand, it will decrease in size each time you cut open the sealed bag.

You can, but they get pretty charred and thin. Maybe you could reuse once. I usually discard after one smoking.
