Sarah Wells Pumparoo Wet/Dry Bag for Breast Pump Parts (Black)

I used this product to take my pump parts to and from work. I had previously used gallon ziplocks but found that to be wasteful. I love the Sarah Wells Pumparoo. It’s cute and works as advertised. However, I am having a mild problem. The first time it showed up, the company replaced it (though they told me it’s not usually their policy to replace bags due to mold). I followed the care instructions, but my second bag developed mold as well. I cut the waterproof liner and found that the mold was actually on the inside of the material and not the side that comes in contact with milk. I like this bag, but I just can’t continue using it.

So I love these bags. But I have a HUGE issue with them. The inside corners are hard to clean and after about six months of use, I noticed black mold growing! It was near impossible to clean out- I had to waste a bottle brush to get it out. I also now have little black spots on the inside bag as well. I have two of these so I can make sure to clean and dry them properly every day- either by hand of machine wash. So I definitely didn't ignore the cleaning instructions. All they need to do is round the inside corners to avoid part of this, but I don't know how you would resolve the black spots. So disappointing. I am tempted to by another set because I hated wasting ziplock bags but I am not sure you can trust these long term.

When you're a breastfeeding mom who's back at work you find yourself buying a lot of stuff. So much stuff. Neverending accessories and supplements and spare parts. Most of this stuff is just ok, basically works but not well or works temporarily. Things break and are awkward and poorly made but you buy them anyway because you need these things, or believe you need them, to continue the 2nd job that is feeding your baby. In that heap of mediocre yet necessary stuff, the Sarah Wells pumparoo bag is an instant standout. It is well made, it does exactly what it's supposed to, it's one of the few products that make my life easier and more streamlined everyday.Before I bought this bag I was storing my pump parts in the fridge between sessions thrown into disposable freezer bags. Not only was this wasteful and expensive, those bags are clear and afford little privacy at work and on my commute. The pumparoo bag is discrete - even kind of cute! - easy to clean, and the attached staging mat is one of the smartest designs I've seen. No more wasted paper towels! This bag is a game changer.

Previously I was using a medela micro steam bag to put my pump parts in the fridge while at work, but it wasn't holding up to the traveling to and from work.This bag is perfect! I leave bottles attached to keep the bag cleaner and make it easier when it's time to pump; I put these in the large pocket. In the small pocket I keep some extra lids and another bottle. The liner comes out so it's easy to clean and dry during the week and then I put it through the washer once a week.

This has become one of my most highly recommended products for pumping mothers.Once I went back to work, I initially just used a ziplock bag to carry my pump parts. After one day of that, I went ahead and ordered this bag. I would put the pump parts in the main bag section to carry to work. At work, I would use the staging mat to lay wet parts on after washing them out. I would travel home with the used parts back in the main compartment, and would usually wipe it out with a Lysol wipe when I got home. I used the zippered section in the front to store the pump tubes.I used this pouch faithfully everyday for about 11 months. It has held up wonderfully!!! Let's face it: pumping is hard, especially on the go. This pouch helps to make things easier, more organized, and more sanitary. I am so thankful I found it.

Awesome wet dry bag! I use this for pump parts (obvi) but it's very universal. The lining is really thick, the material is good quality and I love the design! When you've just had a baby you're buying a ton of stuff and I avoided spending money on this bag for awhile and used a ziplock instead. Quit that! It was tacky and wasteful and this bag is way better. I love seeing it in my pumping bag for work.

Update: this is still a great bag. Been pumping 8 months now almost exclusively. Baby just nurses once a day.. so I have gotten two bags to help simplify my life.. pumping and cleaning takes so much time. I have a work bag because the pump parts are different for the hospital grade pump I have at work. And at home I decided to use a bag too. I was spending so much time at home washing after each use. I don't use the parts over 24 hrs before sterilizing them. It could simplify your life, too. Haven't had any mold issues at all but I'm good about cleaning it per their instructions.Original review: Beautiful and time saving. I compared this with the many other "pump" wet dry bags out there and this is the only one that I feel I can really get clean because of the liner. The other bags just don't have that. They were a different material altogether. I ended up buying two of these bags. One for at night to save me time because I still pump during the nights and early morning, and the other I use at work and I like to have it dry and ready to go for my shifts. I read you are supposed to not rinse parts between use if you use the fridge method just FYI because I was confused on that (just for up to 24 hrs). I've had them about a month now and both have held up well. I hang up to air dry w/ liner inside out and I don't think mold will be an issue.

Less than $20 to save me some sanity about pumping at work?? Sign me up! I love this bag and use it every day. I transport my pump parts to and from work, and use the mat on top of my desk as a staging area in the office. Some people have said that it's just a wet bag, and I guess that's true. But the external pocket is useful if you need to put some milk in there and throw the whole thing in the fridge. Plus, having a discreet way to transport parts is worth the (inexpensive) cost. After being caught in the office hallway with dirty pump parts wrapped in a towel, this bag is a game changer.

Love it. In don't even know why it seems so expensive for what it is, but I'd spend it again. I used the draining pad all the time as my workplace is filthy.I also use the non water proof section as a draining section.Also it's just somewhere to store pump bits so if I'm changing from work bag to something else I take this bag and the pump. It's all organised.I only ever use the water proof section is in haven't had time to rinse things out so I can contain the milk and then I just wash the whole bag ( or rinse it, I am lazy)
