Butterfly Reusable Food Pouches


Reusable Food Pouches - Butterfly Design
You can find it Here.
#Butterfly (I was going to link the instagram tag.. buuuttt when I went to go do that a bunch of twerking videos showed up. Sooo... yeah, not going to tag this one.)




If you have young children at home then these reusable pouches are something that you may want to really look into. Better than the store bought food pouches. They really are. These are a thicker plastic, and these are reusable. 

They have a cute butterfly design on the front and back. There is also a spot for labeling the contents and the date. I don't use that feature, since they don't last long around my house, but it is there and available for those that do use that sort of labeling system. 

When you first get the pouches the tops are sealed with a safety seal just like the store brands are. At the bottom it is a zipper like seal, just like what breastmilk storage bags have. Only they are a little more heavy duty. I guess I would say they are more like the Target brand milk bags. They are not like the Lansinoh brand.

You can use these bags for almost any sort of liquid or semi liquid product. So far we have used them with juice. Although I would not recommend that.. it makes a mess with little hands. But we tried it none the less just to see how it worked. That idea I'll chalk up to "it seemed good in my head, but in reality it sucked" pile.

They wash easily, but I found they don't like to stay upright to dry. So either use a bottle drying rack with the pegs to keep it open to dry or use a fork in the end and lean it up against the wall. 

Tip: Don't fill the bags completely full. Leave a little room at the end so when you squeeze the zipper ends shut to seal you do not make a mess with overspill. 

As awesome as these pouches are the seller.. ugh NOT so much. Everything *seemed* good. They were in communication with me off and on. Then as soon as the item was purchased they disappeared. Not a SINGLE word back. Not a quick reply, not a blank email, not even a fake canned email. Nadda. It was very disappointing. For this reason alone is why I am including the sellers behavior. I typically do not mention or even suggest anything about companies or sellers. But this instance has left me with a sour taste in my mouth. Had they even just said something the outcome would have been differently. But they did not. Their item was out of stock for a long time, yeah ok I can understand that. Although I personally wouldn't run a promo with out of stock items, but whatever. Then when I was able to order them they still would not ship for days, and then after that I had to use standard shipping which added even more time to the delivery. All the while where the clock is running on my timeline for reviewing. Going past this timeline reflects negatively on me. 

So overall the PRODUCT is awesome, A+, Company.. bah D-.

I was provided these butterfly reusable food pouches complimentary in exchange for my honest review.

    1. You would think that it would be hard to clean them but it really isn't. The bottom opens up and you can put a bottle brush, rag, or your hand into it to clean it. Well I can't fit my hand into it because I have huge alien fingers, but smaller hands could. The top opening is also wider than a pencil so you can possibly get a pinky finger in to clean it, if not, the corner of a rag would fit.
