  • Publication number: 20170007015
    Abstract: Provided is a brush drying device including a strap having a head portion, a tail portion, and an elongate body portion between the head portion and the tail portion. The head portion includes a slot having a width and a height sized to receive the tail portion there through to form a loop between the head portion and the tail portion with at least the body portion. The further the tail portion is pulled through the slot, the smaller a circumference of the loop becomes, such that, when the loop is placed around bristles of a brush and the tail portion is pulled further through the slot, the decreasing circumference of the loop causes the body portion of the strap to compress the bristles and wring moisture therefrom.

The breast pump adapter can include an elongated body having a first end and a second end and an intermediate central region. At least one of the first and second ends can be formed of a flexible material configured to stretch around a breast shield assembly bottle coupling or around a storage container opening to form an airtight seal. A housing can optionally be included as part of a breast pump adapter kit.
