Melted breast pump air tube!

[Beccy1234]

Hello!
I have been a little bit silly and microwaved the air tube from my tommee tippee electric breast pump (closer to nature single breast pump). Unfort it's melted completely and is unusable (I blame the sleepless nights!!). Has anyone ever damaged the air tube from any tommee tippee breast pump and needed to look for a replacement? If so, is it possible to get one? and where from? I've tried the tommee tippee website but all I can find is a helpline number where they apparently call you back (but haven't done so as yet and probably won't until next week I'd have thought). I've found nothing else online other than that.
If anyone has any advice that would be brill!x

Hi, we had the same problem yesterday! I managed to salvage a couple of inches from the tube so it's still useable. I've just ordered a replacement tube from ebay:

It's not a tommee tipee one but will do the job. The size is 3mm ID x 5mm OD. Hope this helps.

I had the same melted-airline problem, a quick visit to the local aquatics store and I had purchased a replacement at 30p per foot length.

Hi, i had similar probelem i melted my tommee tippee breast pump air tube so tried to find a replacement, i went to local store to buy tubing but it kept kinking and did not seal properly.

i then found a seller on ebay must-be-nice selling replacement tubing and it worked excellent at a good price, well worth knowing as its worth having a spare as its usually the first thing to go on the pump.

I tried to get from tomme helpline but it took ages to arrive im still waiting after 10 days, the ebay one was here in days....hope this helps :)

Just search "Tommee Tippee Replacement Pipe" on ebay seller is "must be nice" as others id tried were either 2 flimsy or to stiff

Hi,

Just a quick question before I buy the one you recommend on ebay.

The air tube I have at home (and looking to replace) has a plastic ribbed connector at one end (which is the bit that gets plugged into the motor).

Does that ebay tube come with one already on it?

Or would I need to somehow remove the connector from the old tube to put it on the new tube? (I had a quick try at removing it and it looks like the tube will just break inside).

let me know

thanks

Hi, i had a very similar problem an tried some normal pipe but it kept blocking up and kinking. After some research i did find a seller on ebay selling replacement tubing and it worked perfectly, its special anti kink pipe and was longer than the original so gave us a little more room. I bought 2 as its not the first time i have had to replace it so pays to always keep a spare as your not supposed to sterilise them as tommee tippe say. Here is an ebay link were to buy them, i will also post amazon link to of that helps, hope you get sorted.7
