(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) When I first used the Avent Brest milk storage bags, I was surprised how thin they felt, having a harder plastic feel than the bags I previously used. That being said, they are surprisingly durable and sturdy yet the zipper closure is fairly easy to open and close. I liked the security of a tamper-proof opening, but found opening the bag slightly tricky at times. I didn't like the fact you had to rip open the top as opposed to a perforated opening I've seen on other bags. I also didn't like the fact that you had to throw out a piece of plastic afterwards or have it still attached to the bag. It made for some irregular openings but didn't impact the ability to pour milk into it. The ease of closing and double leak-proof seal was nice, as was the large space to write all the information you need to.
The bag stands up well to transfer your milk but doesn't feel as stable as other bags I've used. Despite this, I had no issues with bags toppling over and spilling the precious liquid gold! One of my favourite features was how nicely the bags lay flat for freezing purposes. With the bags I previously used, I would freeze them standing up and it was not as nearly as space-efficient or easy as with the Avent bags. Overall these milk storage bags stood up to the test of a busy breastfeeding and pumping mom and made the tedious process of breast milk storage a little easier due to thoughtful design features, easy closing and lay flat capability. They are not my favourite bags but if my first choice were not available I would choose these as a good back up. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this breast milk storage bags!
