Hello Britt, Thank you for sharing this feedback on our Breastmilk Storage Bags. Lansinoh® bags use a premium monolayer film that is very strong but also more elastic (easier to stretch and work with) than other competitive brands which use a more rigid laminated film. Our Breastmilk Storage Bags also come with a pour spout. To use the handy pour spout feature, just follow these steps: First, gently pinch the edges of the bag near the end of the zipper seal. This action helps to create a controlled opening. Then, with the bag held securely, utilize the designated easy write-on tab as your pour spout to smoothly pour out the milk. If you have any questions or additional feedback, please send an email to wecare@lansinoh.com. Thank you.
