Dr Brown's or Honeysuckle bags?

  I haven't tried the Dr. Browns, nor have I used the First Years organizer, so I'm not sure how much help I'll be.  

  
  

  I have used the Honeysuckle bags & I LOVE them.  I got like 6 or 8 of them as a free sample.  They are a very nice thick plastic.  More durable than the Lansinoh storage bags.  The zippers are strong & seal well.  I like that the tear off part is bigger than the Lansinoh because it's harder to loose that little piece of plastic before it makes it to the trash.

  
  

  When defrosting I didn't have any leaks, unlike my Medela bags which leaked over half the time or my Lansinoh which leaked maybe 10-20% of the time.  Also I had about three bags of milk that got "lost" in the back of my freezer.  When I found them it had been 8 months since I'd pumped the milk.  This was in a regular side-by-side freezer so I was expecting all three bags to be "bad" because it'd been over the recommended 3-6 months storage time for a non-deep freeze.  I still defrosted it hoping it might still be ok.  No such luck with the Lansinoh bags, but the one Honeysuckle bag was still good. I think it's because the plastic is a bit thicker or something?  

  
  

  Anyway, I highly recommend them.  Next baby, I'm planning on ordering a big huge batch of them on Amazon and skipping the Medela and Lansinoh.  The only thing I didn't test was pumping directly into them.  I'm not sure how easily they hook to a pump attachment, but even with the Lansinoh I had to tear little holes in them so I guess that part is really NBD.
