I honestly am not that careful. I wash and dry pump parts during the day at work (between pumping sessions) and then throw them dirty in a plastic grocery bag at the end of the day. At night I run them through the dishwasher and then put them in an empty insulated bag that I use to bring milk home in at the end of the day. Every once in awhile I just wash them with soap and leave them at work (my sister gave me her pump, so I have another one at home). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transporting-pump-parts#post-781652 Tue, 14 May 2013 20:28:09 +0000 mrskc 781652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was just thinking about this today. Right now I only pump once at work. I have a ziplock that I reuse and only put clean pump parts in and then I throw the dirty parts into a plastic bag and wash them when I get home. I keep meaning to go to the store to find a Tupperware that will fit my pump parts. All the ones I have are not big enough. The flange makes it an awkward size. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transporting-pump-parts#post-781633 Tue, 14 May 2013 20:15:47 +0000 autumnlove 781633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tupperware or cloth wet bags. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transporting-pump-parts#post-781632 Tue, 14 May 2013 20:14:58 +0000 mamimami 781632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ziplocs but I wash and reuse them. I think it's really weird that the pump people haven't come up with a solution for this, they seem to have thought of everything else.... I think it's an area of opportunity for them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transporting-pump-parts#post-781258 Tue, 14 May 2013 16:19:35 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 781258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BlueWolverine: I do the same. I was just thinking today how many ziplocs I was wasting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transporting-pump-parts#post-781198 Tue, 14 May 2013 15:49:29 +0000 pl0508 781198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ziplocks. Blah. So wasteful </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transporting-pump-parts#post-781173 Tue, 14 May 2013 15:39:21 +0000 CarrieLouWho 781173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tupperware has worked great for me! I use ziploc bags in a pinch if my Tupperware isn't clean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transporting-pump-parts#post-781158 Tue, 14 May 2013 15:32:12 +0000 dagret 781158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a lunch cooler that I use to take L's bottles to daycare, then I take it with me to work for the pump parts. I have a freezer pack that covers the bottom of the lunchbox and just cover that with a paper towel, then throw the pump parts on top and zip the whole thing closed till the next pump. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transporting-pump-parts#post-781009 Tue, 14 May 2013 14:44:37 +0000 birdofafeather 781009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i bought tupperwares that fit the parts. it was easier to clean out and manage than ziploc bags. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transporting-pump-parts#post-780989 Tue, 14 May 2013 14:35:54 +0000 pregnantbee 780989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used ziplock bags daily until my friend recommended this size of Gladware: <a href="http://www.glad.com/food-storage/containers/deep-dish/" rel="nofollow">http://www.glad.com/food-storage/containers/deep-dish/</a></p> <p>Been using this and washing every day after work. Between, I put the pump parts in (connectors and flanges) it in the fridge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transporting-pump-parts#post-780862 Tue, 14 May 2013 13:42:16 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 780862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use a tupperware. I rinse after each use and put them in the tupperware with an ice pack. I wash everything (including the container) each night and let it dry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transporting-pump-parts#post-780838 Tue, 14 May 2013 13:32:37 +0000 DillonLion 780838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ziplocs here... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transporting-pump-parts#post-780833 Tue, 14 May 2013 13:31:50 +0000 edelweiss 780833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>another ziploc user here! i rinse the parts in really hot water and paper towel them off before putting them in the ziploc and fridge. each night after washing pump parts, i hang the ziploc bag upside down on a big spoon in my dish rack, and replace it each week. i understand that may not fly with everyone's sanitary standards.</p> <p>i've seen others using a mesh bag, like the ones you use for lingerie in the washing machine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/transporting-pump-parts#post-780812 Tue, 14 May 2013 13:24:51 +0000 BlueWolverine 780812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How does everyone transport pump parts between work and home? Instead of washing them everytime I pump, I throw them in the fridge with pumped milk. I was using ziplocks but I feel like I'm going through too many of them. How do you all transport your parts? </p>
