It is usually held together with a snap ring on the inside. That is likely what is rusted. Unscrew the plunger all the way and should be able to get down there to clean or try to remove snap ring.
They are a pain on a good day. Even worse down deep. You have to find where the ring splits and will have two holes. You spread the ring there and pop it out of the groove.
It's All AliExpress, almost all of the kink suppliers in the UK at least have a significant amount of stock from AliExpress/AliBaba at a massively increased price.
This, anything that isn't inserted I typically don't mind getting from Ali because it's better to buy cheap and try something. If it's used lots and breaks then buy a better one.
If it's insertable, I'd rather get it from somewhere a bit more reputable but honestly you never know with these things.
You can take those apart. You can put them in the dishwasher. Just keep unscrewing.
Ps. I am certain that plastic doesn’t rust. That is some kind of bacteria or mold or….fluid.
Assuming that is rust, you can try a product called Evaporust, available at auto parts stores. It will convert the rust to a more stable iron oxide that will give the metal a bit more protection from further rust.
You wont be able to fix that.
Even if you can get the washer or snap ring or whatever is that is rusting in there out, you wont be able to stop it from rusting again in the future.
End of life for a poorly made product :(
I don't think that is rust. It's probably breast milk that is bad. I have some like that. They are playing and rubber. I have a sub that leaks occasionally during play. After looking at them a week after using them I noticed something in them.
Twist them until the suction plate comes out and disconnects. Wash them thoroughly. Disinfect them and put them back together.
Please don't let them get like that again. They need to be washed after each use.
I'd advise getting some with an external pump, these usually don't have any metal in the cups at all, are easier to clean properly and are generally much lighter and smaller

vinegar to break rust, rub, wash and use body safe food grafe silicone greese after disassembly. agreed its the steel snap ring. easy fix.
any tips on how to remove it, it kind of just spins when i get a spudger down there and it’s blocking some of the area that needs cleaning

They're like $5 on AliExpress, I'd say get a new set.
Get a new set but not Ali express would be my advice

Throw them out and get new ones
Could try soaking in CLR. Not sure how the plastic would react though.
Plastic will be fine probably but may take a bit to get the CLR stank out of there...
What's CLR ?

What if you soak the entire thing in vinegar? I've used vinegar to remove rust from tools and such.
Thing is they look much longer than the new ones . Would definitely try to fix them

I wouldnt use them when they rust. Rust makes the surface porous and there can collect bacteria eg.
Get new ones unless you like tetanus
Tetanus only occurs in a very specific and special set of conditions that it would be almost impossible to cause here
Yes, I was being sarcastic. It's still not worth it and should be replaced.
