  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.
  
  

• Are you kidding me?

  Once again Amazon has disappointed me with their suppliers. These tubes arrived in seperate envelopes, the envelopes looked like they were taken out of the trash and taped together. When I opened the envelopes the tubes were shoved in and kinked. The one tube was dirty like it had been used. What gives? I am not putting these tubes anywhere near my childs food source. UGH!!!
  
  

• Terrible

  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.
  
  

• Disgusting!

  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!
  
  

• Item works with original PIS

  
  By A22JQ5VSW1RML8 on 2008-05-18
  EDITED REVIEW: This tubing actually works with the original PIS (as well as the new PISA manufactured post 07/2006). Set 4 Baby's packaging and customer service reps rudely insisted that the item I was sent will not work with the original PIS and that I had made a mistake in ordering. Set 4 Baby also attempted to charge $6.56 in shipping, even though the product pages state "free shipping." Set 4 Baby was extremely difficult to deal with and would not accept any responsibility for the problem. I would not recommend doing business with Set 4 Baby under any circumstances.
  
  When editing this review, I could not change the star rating. Just to be clear, I now know that the tubing is fine, but still am not pleased with the third party seller.
  
  
• Wrong part
  By A1KVTDQB1W4F7C on 2008-01-14
  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.
  
  
• Medela rocks!
  By A5Y2YNJBMDHTV on 2007-10-04
  All Medela items are great! Want a quality product for the VERY important task of breastfeeding? Buy MEDELA. I have a couple of extra tubing hoses. One to keep IN the pump and another just in the case of damage to the other I keep at home or to use while cleaning/drying a set.
  
  
• Exactly what I needed
  By A3THJPLMWPI0UU on 2008-04-13
  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.
  
  
• tubing

  what else to say, the tubing works as advertised. pretty expensive for set of plastic tubes, but a must have purchase.
  
  
• great tubing in perfect condition
  By AQ46112FZQQ9U on 2008-05-27
  This tubing fit my 2007 Pump In Style Advanced (Backpack). It did not come sealed, but I didn't expect it to since that was clearly stated by the seller (and other reviewers). I can't find this tubing by itself anywhere - the local lactation station only carries tubing for the original pump in style. I am delighted I can buy the tubes only for a low cost with free shipping.
