I've rented a Medela lactina (also used the Ameda at the hospital, not
sure which I prefer, both are ok but only Medela was available to
rent).

It's working well, my problem is how the heck I get the parts to dry in
the 3ish hours between use? We're running the a/c in the house so it's
not like it's terribly humid inside, but they just don't air dry!


clean kitchen roll, plus consider buying another set of parts, if you are
using them regularly and relying on them, it's almost certainly best to have
some spare just incase anything happens, tubing has been known to get worn
etc.

I'm surprised they don't airdry though I always remember washing them up and
putting them on the draining rack and when I came to put them away they were
fine, which wouldn't always be as much as 3hrs later, but that's besides the
point.

If you took a pack of kitchen roll fresh out of it's wrap and stored it in a
ziplock bag it should be germ free enough and not just wipe germs all over
like a teatowel might. If you really needed to be careful you could
sterilise cotton wool and use that.
