Tubing for Medela Pump in Style & New Pump in Style Advanced Breastpumps - Bulk Pack of 2

The tubing I ordered for my Medela Advanced Pump-In-Style was exactly as it was described - it fit my pump, was clean, and arrived in sealed plastic bags. They arrived promptly and I have no complaints at all.

After reading the reviews of this tubing, I thought I would add a few details that may be helpful. Before ordering tubing for your pump, you need to identify which type of pump you have. (Is it a Medela Pump In Style Original or a Pump In Style Advanced?) This particular tubing will fit all Original Pump In Style pumps (Original Pump In Style pumps cannot be removed from the carrying bag it comes in) and it will fit Pump In Style Advanced pumps that were manufactured AFTER July of 2006. If you have a Pump In Style Advanced pump manufactured BEFORE July of 2006, these are not the correct tubes. There is another page to order those from. (They are commonly called First Issue Pump In Style Advanced tubes)
AT this time, none of Medela tubing comes in retail packaging. It is sent to the retailer in a giant ziploc bag and the seller divides them up and usually puts them in smaller bags of some sort to send to the customer. None of the tubing comes pre-sterlized so you might want to sterilize it yourself before using it. The silicone the tubes are made of tends to attract every piece of lint and anything else in it's general vicinity so even in the most careful re-packaging conditions you may find less than gleaming, shiny tubes but they should never have hair wrapped around them, as one reviewer complained! If you are unsure of which kind of pump you have or when it was manufactured, the customer service representatives at Medela are so friendly and should be able to help you identify it. The tubing works wonderfully if you get the type intended for the pump you have.

This tubing does not work with my advanced pump in style model as stated in the product description. After my negative review I was contacted by Rebecca at set 4 baby. This was their response:

"This is item # 8007212 Medela tubing for advanced breastpumps including the new models. We have yet to have a complain that this doesnt' work with the advanced breastpumps. Re the packaging - It clearly states on the product page that this item comes from medela in bulk packaging and we repackage the item for individual sale.

If you had complains you couldve contacted our company we wouldve been glad you help you- maybe you don't know how this tubing works."

From the amazon site, I did read previous review stating that this tubing did not work for them as well as other complaints from other customers. I do know how to use the appropriate tubing as I have successfully used it for the past 8 months. The set 4 baby tubing has the adapter piece on one end of the tubing and does not come with the adapter piece on the other end.

The tubing arrived today for my Medela Pump in Style. I was terribly disappointed in the packaging as there were pieces of hair wrapped around the tubing. Furthermore, both tubes looked as though they had been used. Overall, it looks a little too unsanitary to use even if I were to sterilize. Gross! So disappointed!

My pump is about 5 years old. This seemed to be the part I was looking for...However,it did not fit. I am out of luck.
