The pump that I received via insurance is the Medela PIS but it is just the pump, no bag. I figured I would toss it into a tote bag that I already own, but then I'll have to waste time completely unpacking every time I need to pump at work.
Does anyone have the Sarah Wells pump bag? I'm specifically looking at the Lizzy bag, which seems really functional and super cute.... but I'm wondering if anyone has first hand experience with this.

I've never heard of pump bags, but it looks like a pretty good idea. I have the PIS without a bag too, something for me to look into.

@LAZB: I hadn't heard of pump bags either, but my Medela pump came with a coupon for $5 off the Medela pump bag... I googled it and a bunch of options came up. I was also looking at the Nurse Purse. Both options have zip down pockets for the pump so you don't have to pull everything out of the tote and set up.

I didn't ever think about or know there was an alternative to the pump bags that were sold as sets. It's sucky that insurance doesn't provide the whole thing, but hey I guess not everyone would need to tote it around.

@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: yeah, I don't know what the purpose of insurance not just covering the Medela PISA that all the box stores carry would be... Its the same motor/parts... Just no tote. Which actually frees me up to purchase one that makes my commute easier lol. The standard issue black tote is super tiny and the pump bags I've been looking at all function as a carry-all for work stuff plus pump stuff. It's supposed to help cut down on the amount of bags you leave the house with 
Pretty genius, but I would love to see some real reviews before I put down
$80-125 dollars for a bag.
