why does this say "disposable"? I already have the medela bottles with me

I'm not sure why it would say disposable, it's not. This model is reusable. Medela does have a more expensive SNS model that does include disposable "bottles".

The tubing does not hold up well for long term use. It starts to wear in the places that you have to tape it to your breast. I was able to use it for several weeks though. I just sterilized and air dried after each use. The regular pump bottles are not compatible with this setup. This is strictly for supplemental nursing only. You have to put either pumped breast milk or formula into this special bottle.

Sorry, but I don't know. I've been concerned about that some myself, but it's at least a better option than the plastic bottles. Otherwise I've been very happy with it. :-)

They are disposable. You can only use them once. You can buy them in 10 or 24 packs at places like Sur La Table or just online.

It's a smallish bottle so if you use it daily it probably will be gone before it would go bad. But you could refrigerate it if you want.

Yes the cartridge is disposable however I have refilled them with a syringe.

Yes, these breastmilk storage bags are disposable in the trash. In fact, all of the breastmilk storage bags I know of are disposed in the same manner. I know Medela has bottles you can pump straight into with the Medela breast pumps.

They are medella brand name bottles and they have clear numbering on one side to show the ounces! They're very sturdy and have held up to almost a year of use by me!!

I am not sure about the disposable cup holder but my lotion pump arrived broken. I m the other set I ordered, the tumbler had the top ceramic part completely missing. Not even broken pieces!!!

I think the medela bottles are shorter and chunky. You could definitely fit them, but maybe not 6. when they say it fits 6 bottles, I would think ideally it's something like the Dr Brown's or playtex, which are taller and more narrow. Hope that makes sense.

It didn't work for me. Regular disposable water bottles do not work either.

I agree with dpage. The bottles are nice but they are "pretend." No liquid actually comes out of the bottle, it just disappears when held upside down and reappears when held upright.

It depends how often you plan to use it. I used mine twice a day and already need to replace the face wash. So Id say it lasted me a month..... They are small bottles too.

No since the nipple/ring and bottles are all disposable there's no cap to put over. Once you open the formula it needs to be used with in an hour. The whole thing is designed to be used on the go them thrown out. However I believe that the nipple/rings for the Medea pumping bottles are the same size. Those aren't disposable but they would have a cap. You would just need to take them home to wash/sanitize.

The medela name is on the manual (piece) that you pump with. It also comes with a medela bottle.

I have used glass bottles that were a different brand and it worked perfectly so no you dont have to buy medela.

I don't think this is expected to be disposable, been using it for an year now...

They are Medela. They have the logo raised in the plastic of each bottle. They also have the ounces marked in raised plastic on the bottles for measuring. They are just like the bottles that come with the Medela pumps, except they don't have ink printed on the side. The ink rubbed off of some of my other bottles, so I actually prefer these.
