Philips Avent Microwave Sterilizing Bags, 5 Count

We traveled with our newborn and found these very helpful. Its crazy how much big, cumbersome gear newborns need. I recommend taking any chance you might have to minimize large items and use this product! We have a sterilizer at home but it would have been a waste of space in our luggage. For those who dont use a sterilizer, I still recommend this product for a diaper bag or traveling. We used it not only for bottles and nipples but also philips soothie pacifiers.Pro: small, can fit anywhere a sandwich bag could. It works surprisingly well- I was surprised how hot the steam in the bags got. It has a "safety" corner where you can grab the bag from specifically for that reason (a thoughtful feature). We were able to fit four 4oz philips avent bottles (bottles, rings and nipples) in one bag to sterilize at one time, but obviously you can sterilize one bottle at a time if you prefer too. **Big pro: an individual bag can be used up to 20 sterilization cycles. So its not like you throw it away after one use.Cons: It would be nice if we could get even more sterilization cycles out of one bag. But again, these take up basically no space so packing a ton of them is doable if necessary.

I love these bags. I like that I can sanitize my daughter's bottles anywhere I go and it's easy and very convenient. You can also reuse this up to 20 times. I use avent bottles and it can fit a few in there. I highly recommend this item.

Was gifted a couple of these and had to buy some more. I store my washed pump parts right in the bag so it's ready to microwave when needed, and it fits everything it needs to. Way easier than boiling, and way cheaper than a lot of other sterilizers.

Very easy to use & convenient for traveling!

I had children 25+ years ago and WHY was this product not around?! They are HUGE labor and time savers when it comes to sterilization. My daughter is now a believer since I found them for her. Seriously all that has to be done is throw everything into the bag - washed (it's good sized and will hold probably 5 or 6 nipples, ring guards, and covers), put in a little water, microwave for 1.5 minutes, let sit for another 2 minutes, and remove to dry. On top of that these bags can be used 20 times - there is a little grid on the back of the bag where you check-off after use so you can keep track. INDISPENSABLE

So fast and convenient! 2 minutes max! Great that it can be re-used so many times before tossing, and that it has a marked 'safe' spot for picking up (just be careful not to tip when doing that, because on nearly all steam bags, the other side has a hole for steam and boiling hot water to pour out and burn you.) The bottom could be made better, it's a bit narrow, so these don't seem as stable as the dr. brown bags. On the other hand, haven't had one tip over yet.

This is the most amazing product. When traveling. You literally just put your bottles (any brand) in side with about 2-3 oz. of water and in 2 min, everything is finished. It has a side hole to drain the water out and a section where you can mark how many times you've used. Up to 20 times. So no need to trash right after.

These bags are great! One of them food seem to get a hole it it after I used it once, but it seemed like one of my glass bottles got too hot for it, because the holes were in the shape of the bottom of the bottle. None of the other bags did this, so I think it was a fluke. I got so many uses out of these bags and they fit the scent bottles perfectly. I could fit two complete 8 oz bottles (bottle, rim, nipple and lid).

Used when on vacation and was perfect for sterilizing baby bottles! Compact for packing. Easy instructions to use in the Microwave as long as you know the voltage of the microwave (typically displayed on the appliance)

Me encantaron son mas grandes que las medela y traen un lado para que puedas sacarlo sin quemarte... encantada

Very useful if you are travelling and visiting relatives. It's really good

Edit: one of the bags had a whole and was leaking.Excellent substitute for sterilizing bottles. This one is wayyyy cheaper than medula brand as it has 12 bags. We use this in combination with our electric sterilizer. With babies you dont realize how many products there are to sterilize so having these extra bags really helps a lot

A blessing for the mothers who travels alot...
