5.0 out of 5 stars: Environmentally friendly and high quality option January 26, 2011
By Raivyn "Raivyn" (CA)
I have been using these bags for 3 months. They were provided to me by the Mother's Milk Bank in San Jose. Prior to using these bags, I had used the very popular Lansinoh bags for 3 months.
Between the two, I much prefer the HoneySuckle bags. Why? They are better. How are they better, you ask?
1. This bag is actually tamper resistant, while the Lansinoh bag is not. The HoneySuckle bags have the entire top sealed to prevent tampering. You cannot tamper with the bag without opening one of the three sides of the perforated top. You remove the perforated portion to open the bag. The Lansinoh bags have a perforated top, but not the sides of that upper area, so you could actually still open the bag without undoing the perforations. Poor design IMO.
2. The sides and bottom of the HoneySuckle bags are reinforced, the Lansinoh bags are not. I pump exclusively, and even at 6 mos, my son is not eating all the milk I produce, so I freeze easily 2-4 bags of milk a day. I can produce between 8 to as much as 14oz during a pumping session, and have been able to overfill these bags without them bursting open when they are frozen. The reinforced sides and bottom have alot to do with that.
3. The information to write at the top is much more useful, and is rightside up. The Lansinoh bags have the info updside down. That has always bothered me. Even when you stand the bags up in the freezer, they are upside down. It's stupid. HoneySuckle bags have the labeling rightside up. Plus it asks for baby's name and the date, not the volume. I don't find the volume info helpful at all, and when my baby was in the NICU, or when donating breastmilk, the name is much more useful information.
4. Best quality - THEY ARE BIODEGRADABLE!! They will dissolve when they are in the landfill. If you care about the environment at all, these are the bags for you. The Lansinoh bags aren't biodegradable, at least from what I can tell from their packaging. As if dirty diapers aren't a big enough contribution to the tremendous amount of trash people generate these days, breastmilk storage bags don't need to add to that.
Price wise, these are comparable to the Lansinoh bags, except that with shipping they are a few dollars more. But I think they are worth it from a quality and environmental standpoint. You can also go to the New Bag Co. website and order a free sample if you aren't convinced. IMO, these bags are superior to the Lansinoh bags and I will definitely be using them exclusively.

5.0 out of 5 stars No Volume Information March 24, 2011
By: Mommy&Wife
Really like these bags. My son is breast feeding and I pump the opposite breast every time I feed with him. The only complaint I have is that the top part has no Volume information. I don't wait till my bag has 6 ounces to freeze it. I freeze whatever I pumped off the opposite breast at that time. I don't find the Name part to be very useful but I could see where it would be useful if your child was going to day care or in the NICU but if you're just the average mom who does what I do I believe these bags would be more useful with a Volume part instead of a name. But really love that they are more 'green' than other bags. More pros than cons.


4.0 out of 5 stars: Good product so far March 23, 2011
By Morgen
I'm a big over producer of milk and have been bagging 35-40 oz a day for about six weeks. This requires a high number of storage bags and I've been trying various brands and have now settled on the Honeysuckle. They seem to be a new product on the market and it's still relatively new to me, but I did freeze some for about a week and then thawed in the fridge and using warm water and neither method had any leaking. About 10% of the Lansinoh bags were leaking as I filled them, before they even went into the freezer, very disappoiting. Plus, after talking to friends I've heard about 2 out of 5 bags would leak during thawing. Medela seem to be much stronger and I've had no problems so far with leaking, but they are more than double the price. And the Honeysuckle are biodegradable, nice bonus. I gave a 4 rating because they are not time tested, but so far so good.

5.0 out of 5 stars: Best bags March 21, 2011

I tried all the breast milk bags out there and decided this brand produces the best bags. They do not stink last plastic byproducts, which is a huge relief. They are a little bit more expensive than the other brands, but I can confidently say that you would be paying the extra for the quality.
