I read on here or somewhere before that it was the "Playtex nurser" bottle rings. I tried them myself and it wasn't a perfect fit but it was better than nothing - just wasn't as tight as it usually is.
I bet you'd get one of your 3 contacts for the day by taking in the EAD to try the rings on for size

From what I understand, that skinny ring caused a lot of problems so it was redesigned with the wider ring to help avoid them breaking so soon... so I think if they have the older model... that is the easiest way to explain it... that it was redesigned to improve that feature... I don't know if that helps at all...

Yes, Diane, you are correct! "Tell her what she's won Bob!" The EAD was redesigned and I love the new ring which has like three threads instead of one.
;-)
I have the old one and would love to know what would make it a functional EAD. When you guys figure out which ones let us know because I have NO CLUE about bottles.
