2. Assemble Freemie® Cups
Incorrect assembly of the milk backow barrier will cause low
or no suc tion.
Step 1: Place Barrier onto funnel
mounting ridge and against
cone surface.
Step 2: Align Valve Base
with Barrier and Funnel and
push together.
Practice pouring water from Freemie Cups into a
storage bottle or bag before trying with pumped
milk to help ensure successful transfers.
Bra t is critical for proper use.
Before choosing a bra, pump with the Freemie using your hands to hold
the Cups in place.
To achieve the same pressure and sensation with the Freemie Cups in
your bra, it may be necessary to adjust your bra or try different bras to
nd the best t for you. A sports bra or stretchy nursing bra works well for
some women.
Freemie Cups can be used discreetly with proper wardrobe planning.
Loose clothing with easy access and scarves will be most discreet. Before
rst use in public, put water in the Cups and practice placement and
removal of the Cups in your bra. This exercise will help in determining
wardrobe requirements.
4. Freemie® position and placement

bra with tubing facing upright
in the 12 o'clock position.
