Breast shields are sometimes also called flanges. While comfort is often the driving determinant in figuring out the right size, using the correct sized breast shield will also make your pumping more efficient.
The starting point for choosing the correct breast shield is to determine your optimal size based on your nipple diameter.
- If your nipple measures under 17 mm in diameter, your recommended breast shield size is 21 mm.
- If your nipple measures under 20 mm in diameter, your recommended breast shield size is 24 mm.
- If your nipple measures under 25 mm in diameter, your recommended breast shield size is 27 mm (available later this summer).
The Kit includes 1x Breast Shield 24mm (comes with the breast pump). You can shop other sizes (21mm, 24mm, 27mm) at our shop.
