@blackbird: I don't, but if my insurance lets me get one, I want to try it this time around! I also have a Freestyle and a PISA.

I've read in reviews that the cups still stick out pretty far from your chest, so you can't really sit at your desk with your door open, pumping. BUT I had many times I had to pump in my car while driving or even pump on airplanes in my seat---and I feel like even gigantic cups would be less notifiable that the huge flange+bottle combo hanging from your books in other traditional pumps.

Please get one and tell me how it goes!

I used freemie cups with my medela pump and it changed my world!! Only way I'll pump!

One of my coworkers has these. She uses them on her way to work in the morning and will empty them once she gets in. She says they work great, but they definitely make her look like she has giant boobs. It's been winter, so with her winter coat and scarf, no one can tell she's using them when she walks into the building.

I want to try them, but it looks like they only come in 25mm and up. I use 21mm flanges with my Medela, so I'm thinking these would be uncomfortable and not work well for me?

@blackbird: I would have killed to leave one at work! I hated lugging that thing back and forth

@Anagram: I have them. I can take a pic tonight!

Here was the review I wrote when I used them for a trip away from baby that didn't really allow the time to pump in private, "I just spent 4 days without baby and for me they won't replace the horns but they are better in obvious situations where the horns wouldn't be practical.
We were snowmobiling so when we'd stop to warm up, I'd pump, so I pumped at several restaurants/bars etc. I was in snowmobiling gear so you couldn't tell the extra bulge and the restaurants were loud enough to cover most of the sound of my PISA.
I loved that they were so discrete, I could get hooked up and pump while in a restaurant, but until I started taking them apart and making sure they were on perfectly (because they arent clear so you can't see if the nipple is pulled in correctly or if you let down) they didn't work well. Also I had to use a pumping bra over them to ensure they were tight enough without it they were not working well.
My output was less than with the horns but not by much.
I ended up using them all day and just using horns every night before bed, a motn session and an am session and I felt it was a good balance. I felt like although I pumped less with the freemie it wasn't enough to drop my supply."
