[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ignore PP. PP is either not a mom, or not somebody desperately in need of a pump but couldn't afford one.

I'm bumping in hopes that somebody has a suggestion. [/quote]
I am a mother and it is disgusting. No, I don’t need one and I would never need a used one even if I were broke. You are vile for wanting to give a used breast pump to someone because they are poor. [/quote]

Do you understand how breast pumps work? There are plastic flanges you place on your breast, tubes that lead to the collection bottle, and the machine itself which houses the pump and motor. No milk enters the pump/motor part.

The collection bottles, tubes, and flanges can all be sterilized or purchased new as replacements. In fact most pumping mothers have multiple sets of bottles and tubes.

If the pump is truly at the end of its life, you can mail it back to Medela and they will recycle it. I gave mine away on Buy Nothing. I also received one from a friend so I could keep one at work and one at home. Women’s shelters and other organizations can’t take it because it’s a medical device, but you will probably find a taker on NextDoor or a neighborhood listserve. [/quote]
