As an exclusive pumping mom, I was skeptical about trying yet another collection cup system. But the BabyBuddha Hands Free Cups completely changed my pumping routine. The first time I used them while making breakfast, I couldn't believe I was actually getting stuff done while expressing milk - no more being tethered to one spot!

The soft silicone feels like a gentle hug compared to my old rigid flanges. At just 4oz per cup, I sometimes forget I'm wearing them until the subtle vibration reminds me. The graduation marks are lifesavers when tracking output during midnight pump sessions.

Yes, there's a learning curve to pouring without spills (pro tip: pour slowly at a 45° angle). And assembly does feel like solving a tiny puzzle at first. But after three days, I could put them together half-asleep - faster than loading the dishwasher!

What surprised me most was the output consistency. Using these with my BabyBuddha pump, I'm getting within 0.5oz of my usual Spectra amounts. The discreet design lets me pump during Zoom calls without anyone suspecting - though that faint 'whoosh' sound does make me paranoid sometimes.

After two months of daily use (and sterilizing), they're holding up beautifully except for one duckbill valve replacement. For moms who need mobility without sacrificing output, these cups are worth every penny - just practice pouring over the sink first!
