PAGE 6 Important Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT — To reduce risk of damage, use error or injury:
• Do not put any components in the dishwasher or a steam sterilizer.
• Do not use solvents, abrasives or brushes on any components.
• Never use a damaged device. Replace damaged or worn parts.
• Never use if moisture or liquid is detected in Tubing.
• Always inspect the flexible tongue-shaped Barriers for damage (cuts,
tears, or holes) before and after each pump session. Use of a damaged
Barrier will cause milk to flow into the Tubing and/or pump motor.
This can compromise hygiene and damage the pump motor.
• If pumping is uncomfortable or causing pain, turn the pump off and
if necessary break the seal between the breast and Breast Flange
immediately with your finger and remove the device from your breast.
• Do not try to express with vacuum that is too high and uncomfortable
(painful).Ifallbreastpumpsare painfulfor you, evenon theirlowest suction
settings, consider consulting with your lactation or health care professional.
• Always inspect Flanges, Cups, Valve Bases, Valves, Barriers, and Tubing
prior to use for cleanliness.
• Clean, sanitize and dry all parts that come into contact with your breast
and breast milk prior to first use.
• Disassemble, clean and dry all parts that come into contact with your
breast and breast milk after every use.
• Do notstore wetor dampparts wheremold maydevelop.
• FreemieSlimFit5Cupsarecompatible withwearable FreemiePumps.
Use with non-compatible products may cause injury to you or damage
your pump or component parts.
• As a general rule, use Freemie only as often and only as long as you
normally breastfeed your baby. Consult a lactation professional if you
have questions about your milk supply.
• Consult your lactation professional if you have questions about whether
Freemie is appropriate for you or to help determine the correct Flange
size for you.
• Freemie is not recommended if we do not have your Flange size.
• Freemie is not recommended if you must watch your milk ejection reflex
or aggressively massage your breasts while pumping to ensure that they
are completely emptying.
• Do not share. Freemie is a personal use item.
• Do not use Freemie for simultaneous breastfeeding and pumping
with compromised infants without first consulting your healthcare or
lactation professional.
• Do not continue to use Freemie if you experience pain or discomfort in
the breast or nipple while pumping. Do not pump or pump and nurse in
situations or places that may present any risk to you or your infant.
• Keep out of reach of infants and children. Freemie has small parts that
can be choking hazards.
• If you are a mother who is infected with Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C or
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), pumping breast milk will not
reduce or remove the risk of transmitting the virus to your baby through
your breast milk.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT.
This is a single user product. Use by more than one person may present a
health risk and will void the warranty.

PAGE 15 Cup Test and Tubing Tips
TRIM TUBING
Once you have tried on your Freemie SlimFit5 Cups,
you may want to alter the Tubing length to fit your
body. Before trimming, consider the ways or places
you may use your Freemie. Then, measure twice and
cut once using clean scissors.
TEST BEFORE USE
Prior to placing Cups in your bra:
1. Turn on pump.
2. Set pump to strongest setting.
3. Barrier inside Cup collapses and releases
when assembly is correct.
TUBING NOTES
Tubing can be worn inside your clothing so that it
does not show at all. Or, you may choose to wear it
outside your clothing if that is more comfortable.
Tubing can also be worn under the center front
(cleavage) area of the bra, so long as it is not
pinched, kinked, or being pulled o.
The soft silicone Tubing can
be used with or without the
special L-Connector part.
Tubing should always be used with
the Y-Connector part whether single
or double pumping. Do not attach
the Y-Connector to the pump.

CORRECT NIPPLE POSITION &FLANGE SIZING

the center of the Flange.
CORRECT POSITION INCORRECT POSITION
FINDING THE IDEAL BRA FIT FOR YOU
Brafit iscritical totheproperuseof thisdevice because
yourbramust do the job that your hands would be
required to do with a traditional pump.
1. Before choosing a bra, pump by holding the SlimFit5 Cups
in place with your hands. Consider how much pressure you
normally apply against your breasts to pump and observe
the optimal position and orientation of the Cups on each
of your breasts.
Most moms are not perfectly symmetrical, and improper
positioning or pressure on one or both breasts may result
in low output. It is important to practice and experiment
with different bras to figure out how to make the Cups
work well and effectively for you. The pressure needs to
be consistent throughout your pump session such that
no gaps occur.
Be aware that the pressure needed may be different
when your breasts are full versus when they are emptying.
A sports bra works well for many women.
2. Be sure your bra keeps the SlimFit5 Cups in an upright
position and does not allow the devices to slip around,
sag downward, or tilt off to the side during use as a loss
of suction may occur.
3. Make sure you achieve a good consistent seal between
the Breast Flanges and your skin.
4. Make sure the Breast Flange opening is centered over
the nipple when placed inside your bra.

PAGE 18 Finding Your Best Flange FitFinding Your Best Flange Fit
Finding the best Breast Flange fit cannot simply be done
by measuring your nipples because some nipples stretch
more than others under suction. You can estimate your
size, but some trial and error may be needed for you to
optimize your comfort and milk output. Experiment to
find the right fit and keep in mind:
• You may need a dierent size than the Flanges provided.
• You may need a dierent size for each nipple because
no one is perfectly symmetrical.
• You may prefer higher suction, making Flange
comfort crucial.
• Yournipple mayexpand indiameter andlength whilepumping
and may change over time, so keep all of your sizes. Flange is too small for the
nipple to move freely in and
out of Flange. May cause
rubbing or chafing.
Comfort is key! It may take a
few tries to find what works. The
Breast Flange size is measured
across the opening that your
nipple fits into.
Flange is too big allowing
too much breast and areola
tissue to be drawn into Flange.
May cause bruising.
Flange is correct size when
the nipple moves in and out
of the Flange freely.
ChoosingAnother Size
Use a ruler or coin diameters
to estimate your erect nipple
base size. Choose the nearest
size Flanges or Fitmie inserts
that are slightly larger than
your nipples.
InternalDiameteris measured across the opening.
SlimFit Fitmie soft inserts for pumping comfort
are available in sizes 15mm – 28mm and sold
separately at www.freemie.com.
Need more milk capacity or a deeper Flange?
Try SlimFit6 (6 oz.) or Standard (8 oz.) Freemie Cups.

GOOD PUMPING POSITIONS
POOR PUMPING POSITIONS
Freedom of movement with Freemie depends on:
• How Cups are oriented on your breasts
• Securityof Cups in your bra
• Amount of milk in Cups
• How much Cups are jostled
Advanced Technique: Requires
re-orientation of cups inside bra.
