Explain the Playtex drop-in nursers, please

[wencit]

This baby must already be taking over my brain cells, because I can't figure this out, LOL! Do you pump your milk into the regular collection bottles and then pour the pumped milk into the drop-in bags? Can you freeze the Playtex bags like you can with the Lansinoh ones? Is there a way to pump directly into the Playtex drop-in nursers?

Thanks for your help. I spent an embarrassingly long time at Target the other day trying to figure it out before I gave up and decided to ask y'all instead.

Playtex makes an adapter that allows you to pump straight into the drop ins. The kit comes with one adapter and five screw lids, IIRC. Then you can store/ freeze directly into the drop ins. I'm not sure they really recommend freezing in the bags (I think they recommend layering two) but I do it and it hasn't been a problem. Unlike the bags which lay flat though the drop ins aren't a great shape for mass storage. I haven't done bags but I get the impression that their is more potential for leaks if you try to feed directly from bags.
