Simplisse by Dr. Brown's Breastmilk Storage Bags - 25 Count

The plastic is thicker for these bags than other brands, which is both a good thing and a bad thing for me. I like that it's thicker when I go to freeze them because they freeze flat even if not laid on a flat surface. I don't have any need stand them upright to have an opinion on that, but they stand well if you open the bottom. I dislike how thick and more rigid the plastic is when trying to fill the bags, get the air bubbles out, and close them. I have to be careful that I don't spill the milk. I haven't thawed any of the milk I've frozen in these bags (or any brand of bags) to speak to that. I also wish the bags had more room on the label, you can't tell how many ounces are in a bag when you've frozen the milk laying flat. I just write the amount in the name part, but if you were taking these bags to daycare and had three or four things to write, it would get cramped. Overall, these bags seem like good quality and serve their purpose, but I prefer other brands that are more flexible and have a larger label area.

I exclusively pump so I use multiple bags a day. I have used many brands but what I really liked about Dr. Browns was the material used was thicker than other bags and not flimsy. I like that the bags help up on their own, they didn't fall over when trying to fill them up. They stacked up well in the freezer. When I warmed up the bags in hot water, they withstood the temperature. They stayed sealed and the plastic didn't tear.

I'm always searching for the best. Previously I was using lasinoh bags and was pleased with them...until my husband dropped a frozen one and it broke! So when I finally got my hands on these, I HAD to do a drop test. They were perfectly fine after dropping them with 4 oz of frozen milk in them onto tiles at about 5 feet (mimicking the drop my husband previously did) They thaw well and quickly. They're thick and durable. The only thing I've had trouble with is the zipper occasionally has a hard time lining up but its fine if you're not rushing! I've also noticed the milk looks more like a fresh pump when thawed than previous brands of bags that I've used.

These storage bags are made of a nice, durable plastic, so I feel more comfortable using them for deep freezing my milk! However, they are a little wider than the other bags I've used, so they don't fit will in generic breast milk storage containers, nor do the fit 15 to a gallon-size ziplock bag- they're just too wide! I found myself double and triple checking they were sealed- it was hard to tell some times.

These were a very nice thicker plastic compared to other brands. When filling, it takes 2 hands to push air out and close. Even with that you don't get a lot of flex in the bag so difficult to remove all air for freezing. Otherwise, these bags are nice and feel heavy duty. But since I freeze most milk, I'd likely stick to an easier close brand.
