Honeysuckle Breast Milk Storage Bags, 75 Ct (3 Boxes of 25 pcs)

I have been using these bags for 3 months. They were provided to me by the Mother's Milk Bank in San Jose. Prior to using these bags, I had used the very popular Lansinoh bags for 3 months.

Between the two, I much prefer the HoneySuckle bags. Why? They are better. How are they better, you ask?

1. This bag is actually tamper resistant, while the Lansinoh bag is not. The HoneySuckle bags have the entire top sealed to prevent tampering. You cannot tamper with the bag without opening one of the three sides of the perforated top. You remove the perforated portion to open the bag. The Lansinoh bags have a perforated top, but not the sides of that upper area, so you could actually still open the bag without undoing the perforations. Poor design IMO.

2. The sides and bottom of the HoneySuckle bags are reinforced, the Lansinoh bags are not. I pump exclusively, and even at 6 mos, my son is not eating all the milk I produce, so I freeze easily 2-4...Read more

I did a lot of research before purchasing these bags. I looked at various brands of breastmilk storage bags as well as researching oxo plastics as I was unfamilar with them. From my research I ended up choosing purchasing over the lansinol ones.

Why?

1. These have a reinforced bottom, lansinol do not.
2. The side seams are a lot thicker than the lansinol ones, so would presumably be stronger.
3. The biodragradable factor, this can only be a good thing right? While researching oxo plastics I discovered that oxo plastics are FDA approved and are safe for food storage and do not contain any BPA (lansinol bags are also BPA free). Oxo plastics can be manufactured to degrade quicker or slower depending on the manufacturers needs, therefore if you wish to compost them I would suggest contacting the manufacturer to find out the degradation time. That oxo plastics need oxygen to degrade so they would not degrade well in landfills as most landfills...Read more

When I bought these I was a little hesitant, as they were brand spanking new on the market and there were no reviews. I decided to try them out, because they were cheaper than the Lansinoh bags I have been using.

I love, love, LOVE these bags! And the fact that they're biodegradable makes me like them even more. While I do agree with a previous reviewer saying that there wasn't a spot to put the volume size, I just use the place where it says "name" since I know my baby is getting it anyway.

You won't be disappointed with these bags! The company itself is amazing too, they will give you free samples of the bags if you ask for them on their Facebook page, and also they do giveaways every Friday-last Friday I won a free 25 pack of storage bags :)
