Have you ever thought that a small device could help mothers save every precious drop of milk? The silicone funnel – a seemingly simple product – provides a convenient, safe, and effective solution for mothers on their breastfeeding journey. Let’s explore the uses and outstanding advantages of the silicone funnel in the article below.

What is a silicone funnel? 

A silicone funnel is a tool made from high-quality silicone material, with good heat resistance, elasticity, and safety for contact with food. Thanks to its flexible nature, silicone funnels are often used to pour liquids, powders, or food into bottles or containers without spilling.

Not only convenient in the kitchen, silicone funnels are also applied in medical fields, cosmetic production, breast milk collection, or personal care products due to their anti-stain properties, easy cleaning, and foldability when not in use.

Outstanding advantages of silicone funnels compared to regular plastic funnels

Silicone funnels are increasingly popular because they offer many conveniences and superior durability compared to traditional plastic funnels. Below are the notable advantages that make this product trusted by families and businesses:

1. Absolutely safe for health

Silicone funnels are made from Food Grade Silicone, free from BPA, lead, or harmful chemicals. In contrast, plastic funnels may degrade under high temperatures, potentially releasing harmful substances into food.

2. High heat resistance and elasticity

Silicone can withstand temperatures from -40°C to 230°C, allowing mothers to pour hot liquids like oil, porridge, or soup without worrying about melting or deformation like plastic.

3. Easy to clean, odor-resistant

Unlike plastic funnels that easily retain food odors, silicone funnels have smooth, non-stick surfaces, making cleaning quick and maintaining a long-lasting new look.

4. Convenient and foldable for portability

Thanks to its flexible nature, the silicone funnel can be folded in seconds, easy to carry for travel, work, or kitchen storage without taking up space.

5. Versatile applications

Silicone funnels are used in multiple areas:

• Household: Pouring oil, powder, spices, sauces.

• Personal care: Transferring shower gel, shampoo, lotion into small bottles.

• Production & medical: Used in safe liquid filling processes.

Hands-free silicone breast milk collector – the secret to saving every drop

For postpartum mothers, every drop of milk is extremely precious. Therefore, the hands-free silicone milk collector is a powerful assistant that helps mothers collect excess milk easily, cleanly, and without waste.

1. Smart design – hands-free, comfortable anytime

The funnel is made from soft silicone, fitting snugly on the breast, allowing milk to be collected automatically without holding it. Mothers can feed on one side while collecting milk from the other – saving time while maximizing milk collection.

2. Absolutely safe for mother and baby

Made from high-quality medical-grade silicone, free from BPA, lead, PVC, or harmful chemicals, ensuring absolute safety when in contact with skin and breast milk. The smooth, soft surface does not cause pain or discomfort during prolonged use.

3. Easy to clean – reusable

The silicone breast milk funnel can be easily cleaned, sterilized with boiling water or a sterilizer, saving costs compared to single-use milk collection bags. The durable material resists odors and discoloration over long-term use.

4. Compact and portable

Small, lightweight design with a spill-proof lid, making it convenient for work, travel, or outings, allowing mothers to be prepared in any situation.

5. Outstanding benefits

• Collects excess milk naturally, without electricity or batteries.

• Reduces breast engorgement and prevents blocked milk ducts.

• Helps mothers store valuable milk for the baby daily.

How to clean and store silicone funnels for mother and baby safety

To keep silicone breast milk funnels clean, durable, and safe, mothers need proper cleaning and storage methods. Here’s a detailed guide for using silicone funnels safely every day:

1. Clean the silicone funnel after each use

• Disassemble the funnel (if multiple parts) and wash immediately to prevent milk residue from drying and sticking.
• Use warm water and specialized baby bottle cleaning solution; avoid harsh chemicals that can reduce silicone lifespan.
• Use a soft brush or clean sponge to gently clean small grooves, avoiding scratching the surface.
• After washing, rinse with boiling water (70–100°C) to fully sterilize.

2. Proper sterilization

• Mothers can boil the silicone funnel for 3–5 minutes or use a baby bottle sterilizer.
• Do not overheat or expose directly to flames as it may deform the silicone.
• If using a microwave, place the funnel in a dedicated sterilization container to avoid concentrated heat.

3. Proper storage of silicone funnels

1. After cleaning, store the funnel in a dry, ventilated place, away from direct sunlight.

2. Once completely dry, store in a separate container or clean storage bag with a dust-proof lid.

3. Do not store with metal objects or sharp-edged items to prevent scratches.

4. When outside, bring a sealed container or zip bag to keep the funnel clean and ready for use.

4. Important notes

• Replace the funnel every 3–6 months or if discoloration, cracks, or unusual softness appear.

• Only use funnels made from food-grade or medical-grade silicone to ensure no impact on breast milk and baby’s health.
