Especially in 2020 when viruses run rampant, moms want to know how to sterilize their Breast Pump Parts. Boiling was always an issue because it is so easy to get busy taking care of the baby and leave the breast pump parts boiling on the stove so long that they melt. Microwave sterilization was the answer! Back in the day, there was only one Microwave Sterilizer Bag made specifically for breast pumps and parts. No, it was not the Medela QuickClean. It was made by a breast pump company no longer in business called White River. Of course, their bag was soon copied by Medela and others. But as in most things, they are not all comparable. The question is which bag is best? Which holds the most? Which is the made with the safest thick BPA free plastic? Which bags are the best value for your money?
Here are our top picks!
#1 Ameda CleanEase - These bags are our favorite because of the superior RCPP thick plastic, the easy slide closure, large cool touch are and the oversized bag that holds more than all the bags we tested. They are also a great value since they come 7 bags to a package!
#2 Motif Micro-Steam Bags - These are a close second. Also made of the thick RCPP plastic, are about the same size as most brands with the same press to seal closure, but since they have 7 bags in a package are a better value than most other brands.
#3 ARDO Easy Clean - The ARDO bag is a close third because it is great quality and has a large 5.5" gusset similiar to the Ameda bag, but the availability online is not as good and the ARDO package only includes 5 bags.
For more details, take a look at our comparison chart above. The commonality among these breast pump parts and baby bottle microwave sterilizer bags is that all may be used up to 20 times and they are all BPA free microwave sterilzer bags. These bags are great for sterilizing all your microwave safe parts such as breast flanges, bottles and valves.
Happy Sterilizing!
