Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've been using the freemie for about 3 weeks now and never want to go back to the typical "horns and bottle". I work outside the home 5 days a week and I use this every day. This is the third child I've pumped for and I wish they had this when I had my first. Now I only use my "horns" when I'm at home and don't want to clean/dirty my freemie!
**edit - After about 2.5 months, I still like to use the freemie while driving and prefer it when I pump (in my car) because it is concealable. But I do bring along my typical horns because sometimes I just don't have the time to fiddle with it. And I wonder if I need more suction (like from the horns) to keep my supply up.

Totally recommend it!
Pro's
* Much more concealable than horns - i pump in my car so this is a huge plus. The freemie is noticable against my smallish chest but I don't think most people would notice right away.
* More discrete when attaching them. I can't do it nearly as well as the video. I need to pull my shirt/bra away and actually hold & aim my breast at the hole.
* I can easily drive/work while pumping. Super big plus for me.
*Pumped in the airport (not in the bathroom!!!) at a table. I usually can't pump in the bathroom because I'm embarrassed. In the open with the freemie, I was fearful of someone calling me a terrorist, but I tried to be descrete with the tubes and the pump noise. It was fabulous. I could never have done that with typical horns.
* Same price as a good handsfree pumping bra/bustier and set of horns. If they were cheaper I would want two sets, though.
* Easily secures into my bras.
* Long tube.
* Customer service is awesome! I had trouble with it the one day and the owner tried troubleshooting right away. He wanted to see me happy and the freemie working.
* Created by the owners of the company. Supports a small business!
Con's
*The valve. I have almost daily struggles keeping it flat. Sometimes I think I have it flat but find out after putting the freemie on that it isn't. It's a pain to have to put in and out of my bra to see if there is suction or not.
*I feel like I have to fiddle with it for it to work. It takes me on average 2 or 3 tries on one side during my first pump of the day (I refridgerate it between uses). As much as I think the valve is flat, the tube is inserted, or something else I don't always get suction on the first try. And when I'm pressed for time it makes me very flustered. I usually think at that point that I'll go back to horns, but once it works then I love it.
*It feels like a prototype version (but maybe that's the engineer in my trying to tweek the freemie). There are great features on the freemie (finger holds, flat bottom) but there are other ones that could be ironed out in the future (they don't affect the useablity) [valve, tubing not seating well, nooks and crankies to clean, rough edges on parts (annoying when my hands are wet and I'm trying to pull apart the pieces)]
*I have to crank the suction on my pump up to the max when using this. I'm afraid my supply might suffer because the suction isn't strong enough.
*I still don't pump in my shared cubical because of the pump noise - but that is no fault of the freemie.
