Your pumping bag opens onto a familiar jumble of flanges, tubing, valves, and collection parts. Keeping that setup affordable means matching the right component to your pump rather than buying a replacement set that does not fit. These six low-cost accessories cover common gaps, from worn valves and uncertain flange sizing to travel storage and wearable pump maintenance.
The Main Contenders
Nenesupply 6pc Duckbill Valves for Elvie Pump and Pump Seals
Maymom 19mm Ameda MYA Joy Flange
Nursi Luna Flange Sizing Kit
Maymom 4-Tube Medela Pump in Style Advanced Replacement Tubing, Post-July 2006
Willow Breast Pump Carrying Case
Gowing 24mm Flange, Valve, and Diaphragm Kit for MOMMED S18 S21
A Closer Look At Each Pick
A small valve can interrupt an otherwise serviceable wearable pump. This six-piece set targets the duckbill valves used with the original Elvie pump, giving you several replacements without replacing the entire pumping system. A duckbill valve opens during milk movement and closes between sessions to help direct the flow.
The slit at each tip stays closed while the pump is inactive, and the valves are shaped to connect with the Elvie spout. You benefit most as an Elvie original owner keeping spare parts within reach, particularly in a home where pumping parts are cleaned and handled frequently.
The Practical Payoff
- Six valves give you a useful stock of replacements and spares.
- Food-grade silicone is free of BPA and DEHP.
- Boiling water, steam, or water sterilization are supported cleaning methods.
- The slit design is intended to maintain the familiar pump suction.
Things To Consider
- These valves fit the original Elvie pump but do not fit the Elvie Stride, so check your pump model before ordering.

A Better Fit Elsewhere
The Nursi Luna Flange Sizing Kit suits you better when uncertain flange sizing, rather than replacement valves, is the main problem you need to solve.
A flange is the breast-facing shield that connects the pump to your body. This Maymom replacement is a fixed 19mm size, making it a straightforward option for Ameda MYA Joy, Joy Plus, Purely Yours, and Finesse users who already know that size works for them.
Unlike the multi-size kit reviewed earlier, this single flange does not help you discover your fit. It does offer a simpler replacement when compatibility is already established, and the polypropylene construction gives you a lightweight part that can be paired with several supported bottle systems.
Useful Touches
- Broad compatibility covers four named Ameda pump families.
- You can use it with Maymom narrow-neck, Ameda, or Medela bottles.
- The polypropylene material is BPA-free and easy to handle.
Minor Gripes
- The 19mm size is fixed, so confirm your preferred fit before purchasing.
- Only one flange is included, meaning double pumping calls for two units.
- The rigid plastic construction differs from the softer silicone inserts in the Nursi Luna kit.
Made For
This flange suits you well when you pump with an Ameda-compatible system and need a straightforward 19mm replacement.
Look Elsewhere When
The Maymom 19mm Ameda MYA Joy Flange is less useful than the Nursi Luna Flange Sizing Kit when you need to compare several sizes before settling on a fit.
Choosing the wrong flange can leave you guessing at your setup. This kit gives you five insert sizes, a nipple ruler, and an instruction guide so you can compare options before committing to one size. The sizing material was developed with an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant.
Compared with the fixed 19mm Maymom flange, the Nursi Luna set focuses on finding a fit rather than replacing a known size. You may find it particularly useful early in pumping, during changes in nipple measurement, or whenever each side needs a different insert size.
Practical Pluses
- Five sizes let you compare 13mm, 15mm, 17mm, 19mm, and 21mm options.
- A measurement ruler turns flange selection into a more deliberate process.
- Food-grade silicone inserts add a softer layer than a rigid flange alone.
- You can wash the inserts in a dishwasher.
Practical Considerations
- The inserts fit most 24mm shields but do not work with 27mm or 28mm shields.
- The guide recommends replacing the inserts every one to two months to maintain consistent performance.

Another Choice May Suit
The Maymom 19mm Ameda MYA Joy Flange serves you better when your pump compatibility and preferred 19mm size are already confirmed.
Long, damaged tubing can make an otherwise functional Medela setup frustrating to organize. This four-tube pack restores the tubing path for Pump in Style Advanced models released after July 2006. Each clear tube measures 42 inches and connects with a pale yellow adapter on one end and a soft end on the other.
Unlike the Nursi Luna kit, which concentrates on flange fit, this replacement addresses the physical connection between the pump components. You benefit most by confirming the face plate before ordering, since Medela produced Pump in Style configurations with different tubing requirements.
Where It Helps
- Four tubes support routine replacement and provide useful spares.
- The 42-inch length accommodates standard Pump in Style routing.
- Clear plastic makes the tubing easy to inspect during cleaning and setup.
Points To Note
- The tubes do not fit the Maxflow version or Pump in Style models released before July 2006.
- Check your face plate and tubing connection before purchasing.
- The fixed date-based compatibility range narrows which Medela systems qualify.

Built With In Mind
This tubing set suits you well when you own a compatible post-July 2006 Medela Pump in Style Advanced model.
Reach For A Different Pick When
The Willow Breast Pump Carrying Case suits you better when your priority is organizing and protecting a complete portable pumping setup.
A portable pump still needs a stable place to land after a commute or overnight trip. This teal case gives your Willow wearable pump a protected home with a hard outer shell and a removable molded tray. The tray helps keep the pump from shifting while you move through a busy office or pack a suitcase.
Whereas the earlier replacement parts repair individual components, this case supports the whole portable arrangement. You also gain a mesh pocket for spare flanges, flange inserts, and smaller pumping essentials, so frequently used pieces are not loose at the bottom of your bag.
Everyday Perks
- The hard shell protects your wearable pump during commuting and travel.
- A removable tray keeps the pump positioned during transport.
- The water-resistant polyester lining wipes clean after minor spills.
- A mesh pocket separates spare parts from the main compartment.
Small Caveats
- The case is designed around Willow wearable pumps, so verify the shape of your own pump before ordering.
- Allow extra space in a small bag because the hard shell is the protective outer component.
Whose Shelf It Belongs On
This case suits you well when you regularly carry a Willow wearable pump between home, work, or travel destinations.
A Better Fit Elsewhere
The Gowing 24mm Flange, Valve, and Diaphragm Kit for MOMMED S18 S21 suits you better when you need replacement wearable-pump components rather than a carrying case.
Maintaining a wearable pump often means replacing more than its flange. This Gowing kit combines a 24mm flange, duckbill valve, silicone diaphragm, and milk collector cup for the MOMMED S18 and S21 systems. You can restore several contact parts without assembling an entirely new pump setup.
Compared with the Nenesupply valve set, this package spreads across more of the pump’s milk path. Its dual-channel layout separates gas and milk, while the valve and diaphragm are designed to reduce backflow and overflow during collection and handling.
Features That Help
- The kit covers four types of wearable-pump contact parts.
- Each component uses BPA-free silicone for a flexible contact surface.
- Dual channels keep gas and milk pathways separate in the design.
- The duckbill valve includes an anti-overflow design for controlled milk movement.
Where It May Fall Short
- Compatibility is limited to 24mm MOMMED S18 and S21 setups.
- This is a set of replacement components, not a complete breast pump.

Who Should Grab It
This kit suits you well when you maintain a 24mm MOMMED S18 or S21 and want several replacement parts together.
Swap It Out When
The Nursi Luna Flange Sizing Kit serves you better when your main concern is finding the right 24mm flange size across several options.
Building an Affordable Breast Pump Setup
Start With Your Pump System
Begin with the model and connector already in your hands. An affordable replacement still needs to match the pump’s flange format, tubing arrangement, or wearable-pump design. A photo of the connection point and model number can prevent an incompatible order, especially with components such as valves and tubing.
Measure Your Flange Needs
A flange is not a universal size. Measure before choosing between a fixed flange and an insert kit, then note whether your two sides require different sizes. Inserts can be useful when sizing changes or when one breast needs a different fit.
Match Parts Before Ordering
Check every supported pump model, connector, size, and included quantity. For a complete wearable setup, you may need more than one flange, while a tubing order may require a full set of four. Compare compatibility details before adding anything to your pumping bag.
Avoiding Costly Breast Pump Mistakes
Wrong Turns To Avoid
Do not judge compatibility by brand name alone, since one pump family can contain several tubing and flange formats. Confirm the model, connector, and measurement before ordering, and keep one known-good part nearby for comparison.
What Separates Premium From Basic
Higher-priced pump sets often include more pieces, coordinated storage, and wider compatibility within one package. Paying more can simplify setup, but a carefully matched set of low-cost replacement parts may serve an existing pump just as well. Value depends on compatibility and the component you actually need.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Is the Cheapest Way to Replace a Breast Pump Flange?
Replacing only the compatible flange is often the most economical route. You need the correct size and connector, so the Maymom 19mm Ameda MYA Joy Flange fits only the listed Ameda-compatible systems.
Are Replacement Breast Pump Valves Safe to Sterilize?
The Nenesupply valves support boiling water, steam, and water sterilization. Follow your pump manufacturer’s cleaning guidance as well as the replacement part’s instructions.
How Do You Know Which Flange Size You Need?
Measure your nipple with a sizing guide and compare the result with the insert sizes. The Nursi Luna kit includes a ruler and several options for 24mm pump systems.
Can You Use Replacement Tubing Across Different Medela Pumps?
No, not every Medela Pump in Style version uses the same tubing. This Maymom set fits Pump in Style Advanced models released after July 2006, but not Maxflow or earlier versions.
Is a Breast Pump Carrying Case Necessary for Travel?
A case becomes useful when you regularly commute or travel with a complete pumping setup. The Willow case adds a rigid shell, removable tray, and mesh pocket for organizing wearable pumps and smaller parts.
Final Verdict
The best value comes from replacing one compatible component instead of rebuilding your entire setup. Elvie owners can keep valves in reserve, while Medela and Ameda users have focused replacement options for their specific systems. For sizing uncertainty, portable organization, or MOMMED maintenance, the right match is in this list.
