 Too many leaks for the costSep 11, 2009
I purchased these bags assuming that the higher cost of the Medela bags would be justified by outstanding quality. I was wrong. I spent so much of my time pumping so that my son could drink stored breastmilk after he was weaned to a bottle and now I see all of the effort and those precious minutes of pumping leaking out of the bags. I let the bags defrost in the refrigerator. So many of the bags have leaked and made a mess out of the refrigerator and its contents that I now put the bags that are defrosting into a 9 x 13 pan to catch the leaking milk. At least 1 out of every ten bags has leaked out of the bottom of the bag. My recommendation would be to buy a cheaper bag and not to be surprised if the bags leak.
 Great for Freezing MilkJul 27, 2009
I did not use the bags for collecting milk - rather I collected in medela containers and then transferred them to the bags for freezing. To make the most use of my freezer space I would lay the bags flat for the intial freezing and then stand them up ina storage container. They defrost easily in a sink of cool water. I experienced no leaking from these bags like a I did from another brand.
 Qulaity control problems - leakage from base and sealJul 15, 2009
The bags are a great idea - my wife and I find them to be of great use. However, one cannot ever be sure that the bags will not leak during thawing. At first, we though this was just an issue of leakage from an improperly activated seal, but I have noticed that they also leak from the base. Having lost several bags of milk this way, I cannot recommend the bags very highly. Get with the program, Medela - surely you should be aware that folks don't wish to see their milk flowing down the sink!

 Terrible! Leaks, leaks, and more leaks!May 14, 2009
These bags are awful and in my experience, after they are in the fridge, leak more than 50% of the time and, if they put in the freezer, leak more than 80% of the time. Yuck! The Lansinoh bags are wonderful--get those instead!
 pretty good bag except too smallMar 08, 2009
I tried 5 different milk storage bags so far - Medela (this one), Lansinoh, First years, gerber, and Dr. brown. I liked them all. So far I have not had any leak in the past 3 months of use. Medela bags are thick and seem to be very well made. The volume marks are pretty accurate if you make the bag stand up with the bottom part pulled all the way wide. I do have two complaints though. (1) The bag is too small. I only put ~3oz in this bag. Putting in more makes the bag too fat and harder to close and store. All the other bags are about the same size (twice this bag) and freeze flat even with 5 oz in them. (2) The tape top to use directly with the pump doesn't work well. I tried a couple of times but found them not secure enough. I went back to pumping into a bottle then transferring to bag. This feature also includes tear-off top part, which does not tear off well, even with the perforation.
