The shields that came with my Medela pump were way too small. These were so much better and helped make my pumping sessions painless. (Apr 15, 2016)

This saved my pumping journey! These make pumping pain free and give me more than double the amount of output compared to the flanges that came with my pump. Mar 31, 2024

Comfortable but didn’t increase my supply. Jan 26, 2024

These SAVED my breastfeeding journey. I have elastic and small nipples so using these was a game changer in comfort and output! I always recommend these to other pumping individuals. Sep 13, 2023

Unfortunately, this was a waste of money for me. The flanges weren’t any better than the standard flanges that came with my pumps, and the silicone/shape actually hurt my large areola. Sep 01, 2023
I have the small set and they just weren't for me. The silicone was too stuff to get on the way they recommended with my joint pain. Aug 24, 2023
I followed the directions & watched many videos, but still these never worked well for me. My milk output actually declined and I just switched to the tommee tippee & Elvie pumps and never looked back Aug 20, 2023

I LOVE THESE!!! nothing has been more comfortable pumping with elastic tissue. I just wish I would have done it right away with my fist EP journey. I will add they have a bit of a learning curve at fi Aug 13, 2023

Pumping pals allowed comfort to my nipples when other flanges didn't fit just right! Very versatile. Just with they had silicone to help massage effect. Aug 05, 2023

Yes! wonderful and comfortable. Will absolutely use again for future babies. Great for those with elastic nipples. Jun 10, 2023

These have been a game changer for me. I have elastic nipples and use these with my stronger pumps. They have helped my out put and comfort May 05, 2023

I wanted to love these. Maybe I didn’t give them enough time but I had a hard time figuring them out and getting them to work Feb 03, 2023

Not a single one of these worked for me. I read great things and was so incredibly disappointed Dec 23, 2022

So much more comfortable than standard flanges. Just try them! Nov 18, 2022

Used for both my pumping journeys and they came in very handy. 10/10! Jul 02, 2022
These did not work for me. I could not get them to comfortably latch on. I would rather use the normal flanges. Dec 07, 2021

Kind of a waste because this didn't really fit any of my breast pumps and it kind of hurt while pumping. Nov 14, 2021

I heard great things about these but they were really awful. Too many pieces to assemble and my milk production went down. Jun 12, 2021

Milkflow Lactation Cookies

Why weeLove Milkflow Lactation Cookies:
In case you need a valid excuse to eat cookies, here’s a really good one: boosting milk supply. Nursing moms need to fuel their bodies to keep up with the demands of milk production and new parenthood. (If you’ve been wearing the same pants for three days—we get it, girl!) While lactation teas, capsules and powders aren’t for everybody, cookies most certainly are.
Milkflow™ from UpSpring created the first ever lactation cookies made with the dream team of ingredients: Fenugreek and Blessed Thistle. These two essentials work together to help naturally promote breast milk supply in those early days, during your baby’s growth spurts (when you’re glued to the glider for feedings!), and pumping sessions.
Available in Oatmeal Raisin and Double Chocolate Chip, cookies are non-GMO and made in the USA with all natural ingredients. These tasty treats come in packs of two—perfect for tossing in your diaper bag for a healthy snack on the go. Each box comes with 10 packs (20 cookies total), so you’ll be able to keep your milk production going strong while keeping “Hangry Mom Running Errands” at bay. It’s a win-win.

THESE ARE A MUST HAVE for exclusively pumping moms. I wish these existed 4 yrs ago with my first. It makes a huge difference in comfort and output. Oct 17, 2020
- Kristi N.
Los Alamos, New Mexico
Much more comfortable than my standard medala shields, especially since I realistically need a smaller than 19in shield. Also allowed me to sit in a more relaxed potion when pumping without spillage. Feb 01, 2020
- Brittany H.
Cross Junction, Virginia
I bought these based on the reviews but found them to be inconvenient to add to my Spectra flanges. It was awkward and made it impossible to use a pumping bra. Wish I hadn't purchased. May 23, 2019
- Bonnie H.
Springfield, Missouri
Game changer! These flanges were recommended to me by a friend and I al so glad that I got them. My pump output has increased and they a super comfortable. Apr 05, 2019
- Elly S.
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
These were fantastic and effective when using a multi-piece flange (like Medela), but useless when used with a single-piece flange (like Spectra). Mar 27, 2019
- Jeinny M.
Shawnee, Kansas
I purchased the Spectra set. I couldn't get them to work quite right for me. I do not regret attempting, however, as their customer service is wonderful and they were easy to return. Jan 07, 2019

These angled breast shields make pumping much more comfortable! Three sizes included in purchase to ensure correct fit. Jan 03, 2019
- Tiffani C.
Memphis, Tennessee
This was a game changer for my Medela pump. I went from having soreness every pump to feeling nothing when pumping! Sep 10, 2018
- Ashley H.
Chandler, Arizona
I absolutely hated these. It may have been user error, but they were so painful compared to the regular straight ones, and I never noticed an increase in production. May 15, 2018
- Allie B.
Mullica Hill, New Jersey
GAME CHANGER! Recommended these to all my pumping mamas! I could actually sit back while pumping 3x a day. What a novel idea! I gave away the shields that didn't fit me, because why keep em! Mar 10, 2018
- Brianna M.
Aiken, South Carolina
I am not sure how I feel about these pump shields. I don't personally think they made a difference in my output but they are comfortable. Jan 30, 2018
- Kendall H.

These changed pumping for me!!!! So much more comfortable, drastically improved my posture Jan 13, 2018
- Renee H.

Love these!! It helps ease that painful pumping feeling as it curves to your natural curves. Great product! Oct 18, 2017
- Elizabeth W.

Lifesaver. I was in so much pain with standard shields and these helped so much. I no longer dressed pumping. Sep 22, 2017
- Chrissy S.
Greenwich, Connecticut
These were suggested by many folks with larger nipples/swollen nipples. I found them to be incredibly constricting and the largest size was much smaller than the largest medela size Aug 08, 2017
- LeslyJosie B.
Reedley, California
Super comfy I use these with my breast pumps. They help sensitive nipples, and cause less pain. I highly recommend these because nipples change sizes especially when they are engorged. Jul 19, 2017
- Julie H.
Cupertino, California
A must if you pump everyday. These were more comfy than the regular flanges. At first I didn't see why they send all 3 sizes but it makes sense after awhile as your body changes postpartum. Mar 14, 2017
- Audrey M.
Buena Park, California
The concept is great but it didn't really work for me. It wasn't really comfortable and didn't fit my breast pump. Mar 04, 2017
- Tara A.
Garfield, New Jersey
Worth every penny! It pulls more of your breast in so it doesnt hurt as much. I still have nipple pain but it is much better. I am an exclusive pumper and I pumped for every feeding, so much better! Feb 16, 2017
- Brooke K.
Keller, Texas
Lansinoh sent me these free because my shields were too large. I'm not a fan. They suck your nipples in very far and I had issues with them staying connected to the bottles. Nov 10, 2016

This was a great extra set of pumping flanges. Awesome for giant boobs. Oct 11, 2016

Pumped less than with my Medela flanges bc milk leaked. Flanges are enormous and don't fit well in pumping bra. Does allow you to recline though. Sep 05, 2016

The shields that came with my Medela pump were way too small. These were so much better and helped make my pumping sessions painless. Apr 15, 2016

MUST HAVE!! So much easier on your already stretched out nipples. The plastic is not as hard or blunt as the regular shields. Highly recommend! Feb 01, 2016
- Lydia B.
Chicago, Illinois
These simply don't work for me. I don't know if it's the shape or what, but even with the same flange opening size as my other flanges, no milk comes out and uncomfortable for me. Jul 14, 2015

Is there an "adore this" setting? These change EVERYTHING. More comfortable and can even increase your output! Jul 11, 2015

So much more comfortable than regular flanges, and it comes with three sizes so you're pretty much guaranteed a fit. Sep 15, 2014

These are amazing! I just bought these for my second baby and pumping is so much faster and I get more milk. LOVE this and recommend it to everyone!!! Nov 08, 2013
