Practice pouring water from Freemie Cups into a

storage bottle or bag before trying with pumped

milk to help ensure successful transfers.

Bra t is critical for proper use.

Before choosing a bra, pump with the Freemie using your hands to hold

the Cups in place.

To achieve the same pressure and sensation with the Freemie Cups in

your bra, it may be necessary to adjust your bra or try different bras to

nd the best t for you. A sports bra or stretchy nursing bra works well for

some women.

Freemie Cups can be used discreetly with proper wardrobe planning.

Loose clothing with easy access and scarves will be most discreet. Before

rst use in public, put water in the Cups and practice placement and

removal of the Cups in your bra. This exercise will help in determining

wardrobe requirements.

Place Freemie Cup inside your

bra with tubing facing upright

in the 12 o'clock position.

Tubing in

position.

Freemie Breast Funnel should be centered over

the nipple.

Pump with Freemie Cups in an upright position, such as

sitting or standing

You may pump in any of these positions. The position of the cups

relative to the horizon is important, as your milk needs to ow

downhill in the funnel.

Note: Depending on the shape and orientation of your breasts, you may be able to

comfortably pump in a wide variety of positions.

• Turn off pump, remove tubing from Freemie Cups.

• Carefully remove Freemie Cups from your bra.

Handle cups with care. Milk pours out from pour spout. Placement at any

other position may cause milk to ow into the tubing or leak out of cups.

Transfer milk to storage container or bottle after pumping. Pour quickly

with breast funnel up.

Handwash all components that come into contact with breast milk in hot

soapy water, then rinse thoroughly.

Leave parts disassembled until ready for next use.
