Great valve Apr 04, 2008

I dont know why Medela is not selling this valves with their pumps instead of the two-piece valves. This one is much better and easier to clean, and since it is a one-piece, the pump works great without loosing pressure. The package only include one valve with membrane, you may want to order two. I bought two to have them as spare valves, and now I prefer them over the ones that came with Medela Pump In Style.
Great product

Easy, works well if your size is 24mm, slightly harder to clean Oct 27, 2010
By Velvet Marmoset These are in some ways easier than the assembly that comes with most Medela pumps -- instead of a separate breast shield and connector, this is just one piece that then connects to a standard valve and membrane. The set here is for one breast only -- it's the single piece that replaces the shield/connector assembly, plus the valve and the membrane -- all you need is a pump, collection bottle, and tubing to go with it.
The only slightly negative aspect is that these are a little more difficult to get fully clean, because you can't remove the flange from the connector. But if you're careful, they're perfectly cleanable. I recommend rinsing them immediately after use if you're not going to wash them fully right away! Then when you wash them later, you're not fighting dried milk.
Also note that the tubing connects near the top of the back of this assembly, whereas it connects near the bottom of the standard "usual" connector -- this might impact you if you are, say, used to typing while pumping and you might wedge the connectors against the front of your desk to keep them positioned while your hands are typing!

Useful and Convenient Nov 23, 2010
By Ana Lauer As has been said before, there's only 1 in a pack, so buy 2 if you're replacing shields. Also, I have a Pump in Style Advanced, and they work beautifully. There's no pressure lost. They're easier to clean. There's less to lose and break. YOU DO NOT NEED TO BUY EXTRA CONNECTORS. The tubing connects straight into this shield.

great for mothers that pump at work Apr 10, 2011
By cgrace For three months, i was using the 2-piece personal fit breast shields that came with the pump and just washed & sterilize them with the medela steam bag after every use. When I went back to work, I purchased 4 of these and my only regret is that I didnt purchase them sooner! I work 12 hr shifts and pump every 4-6hrs. I've been using them for 3 months now and it is so helpful to have spare parts when I'm on the go. They hold great suction (better than the 2-piece personal fit ones) and are easy to clean. I'm thinking of buying a few more and I would definately recommend these to anyone who pumps regularly.

IT'S ONLY ONE...if you need a pair of them, order TWO Jun 10, 2010
By Luna Moth Wilkins OK I guess I should have figured it out but I didn't think too hard about it...I wanted an extra SET of complete shields, the product description mentions keeping an extra SET at work, so my brain assumed this was a SET of shields. Nope, it's ONE SHIELD assembly. Thank goodness for Amazon Prime so I get free shipping; doesn't matter too much to me that I need to order another one, it will get here in 2 days with Prime. But BUYER BEWARE...this is just the listing for ONE SHIELD. Also...I found out when I tried to use them after I ordered a second one...this does not come with the little connecter that attaches the tubes to the shield, so if you need an extra set of everything, this won't help you.
