Review : Cimilre Handsfree Breast Shield

Assalamualaikum & hi!

finally, i have the time to do a review on the Cimilre Handsfree Breast Shield. after using them for 3 weeks :)

* photo taken from Cimilre website * im just too lazy to snap my own. but you can scroll to my ig : maliabjg (i post more often in ig)

Price : RM109-110 (i bought 1 first, to try them and will buy 2nd one IF it suits me. dont want to spend so much and ended up not using these gears right? and i LIKE them. so my first breast shield is from fabulousmom.com , and i bought my 2nd one from pumponthego.com)

here's how the box look like (im too lazy so im just gonna screenshot from my ig hehe)

hardware : its easy to clean. i usually wash with soap first with warm water (sometimes just normal temperature tap water) , and then ill soaked them in my Pureen steriliser water (you know the blue box with white tablet), and i wipe them dry when i want to assemble them. im being extra cautious because i had an incident where my milk is spoilt (didnt wash my parts properly. and it made me feel upset throwing my precious liquid gold)

its easy to put on inside our bra. ive tried with a normal wired bra, with a nursing bra, singlet with padded bra (sports bra not yet, cause idk where is my sports bra lol).

so far, i like it best when im using my singlet with padded bra. i want to experiment by using a larger size cup. because when using it with my regular (my size) bra, i felt like the breast shield is stretching the bra - and making them loose easily. *bra aint cheap these days ok* 

visual : yes i'd get the question "are your breast engorged?" or statement like "your breast is so full" or "you look so voluptuous" whenever im wearing the breastshield. but i have supportive colleagues - and most of them knew that im a pumping mother - just by looking at my tube peeking out from my sling bag :s that cant be helped. i cant be shy because im pumping my breastmilk for my baby. so ill just tell people ahead that yeap im pumping for my baby. and most will give positive feedback on that. alhamdulillah. it made me feel more motivated to continue.

my clothes? i usually wear loose clothes (button blouse, or wide blouse, sometimes baju kurung) so i wont look so voluptuous and i'd prefer wearing tudung bawal. im stocking up on my aidijuma bawal, because its not sheer, and its 50 inch wide, it hid my breastshield well. i liked instant shawls, but they cant seem to hide my HUGE breast shield well. :o 

so whats with this medela valve and membrane?

well, i modified my breast shield abit. im using the cimilre handsfree breastshield + medela valve and membrane - to get a better yield. INDEED. it gave me good result.

i can pump 5 oz in a shorter time compared to using cimilre's original valve. you can try it if you want to. too bad i cant use medela pump though (medela has a good long life span). my cimilre f1 well, if you read my review. the battery doesnt last long asdfghjkl.
