So are these reuseable or you throw them away after feedings? Seems like a total waste if it's the latter, and expensive?!

You throw them away. If you are going to use the whole system I feel its worth the money. The cost for 50 medela pump and freeze bags (which also get thrown away) is 15.99 for 50, the twist pouches are 17.99 for 40 so I dont feel like the cost is terrible. And I have no more dishes and no more transferring of bags and i need alot less storage since I only use 4 nipples and 2 "bottles". So for a few extra dollars, for me,the convenience and ease of using the entire twist system is worth it. If you only are using them to store, then yes they would be a waste.

Disposable. Even though they are pricey I still prefer them to other storage bags due to their ease of use. My freezer is terrible so I don't freeze massive amounts of milk anyway. But I love the storage rack & the ease of the twist caps. Plus, I can always see the dates on the caps at a glance in my freezer.

They are one time use, disposable. I wouldn't just use them as storage bags , they are intended to be used with the system.

Disposable. I think most breastmilk storage bags are disposable. I guess you could store milk in plastic or glass bottles in the freezer but it would take up a awful lot of space if you have a lot of storage built up. The disposable storage bags allow you to store the milk flat.

They are reuseable! You can heat them up or freeze them as many times as you need to. I have a set that I freeze and a set I warm up.

No, they cannot really be reused. You could try spraying them with water I guess to experiment but they are not made to be reused. I really think they were worth getting and did last a few months in the original jar of material I had them in, but they eventually dried out and became hard. I do live in a really dry climate thought, so take that into consideration as well.

Based on manufacturer information the answer is no they are not reusable. We followed this recommendation and had no issues. We used the disposable nipples for the first few weeks to a month and soon after that our baby would consume over 2 of the small bottles so we transitioned to larger bottles which had there own nipples and caps. Hope this helps.

They are reusable, but I do not recommend. The mouse we caught was snapped on his nose, but still alive. He had dragged the trap into the corner of our garage.

I would say no. Just toss and use another. I bought an extra pack of about 100 because the ones in the box is for just a one time use in my opinion.

Yes, I reuse them during the event but then discard them. They will get gunked up with glue and glitter after a while. Especially the ones with smaller openings.

You can just keep them in your refrigerator. When you're ready take them out and wait. I have done this before and have some in my fridge now from last year's hatch.

Good question, I don't have an official answer but my opinion is that they are not recyclable

They probably cannot be remoistened. I would get live if these are for a tarantula. I would also suggest the mealworms you get in the fridge at pet stores like Petco or petsmart. These are not that great. I bought them for my sugar glider. He liked them, but he favors mealworms.

I put them back into the plastic container. You could probably put them into a ziploc bag or tupperware container. They work the same in my opinion.

Like the previous response said, you can reuse the fileters. I've used only one, over and over and over; Essentially a lifetime supply comes with it, then.

I read all of the content that was on the box of bags that I received and did not see it say that you could or could not reuse these bags. These are to be used with the sealing machine: Food Saver which uses heat to create a seal - not a zip type bag. You have to cut the bag open to get to your food after it has been steamed...... I suppose you could try it, but your bag will get smaller with each use, and the company probably cannot give you advise on reuse because they don't want to be responsible in case of bacteria left over from the previous use....

They are reusable but I find that they don't adhere around the breasts (for me) and so I didn't even bother reusing them. I tried it once and they did not relieve any pain in the nipple.

These aren't reusable, but I would not want to bother with cleaning and refilling. They really trap a lot of fruit flies very quickly. Once it fills up or the fly activity goes down you toss it.

You need to wash the left over formula out. That's all. I wash them then throw them into the bowl until I'm ready to sterilize them.

It is unsafe to re-use any kind of bag in cooking, especially sous vide. Don't do it. Just consider them an expendable item.
