what parents are saying
Biggest lifesaver during those early months. I literally wore these nonstop for 3 months, my nipples were so sensitive & sore! Bought 2 pairs so I could always be wearing one while washing the other. (Mar 09, 2017)

I never understood how to use it and it was uncomfortable Aug 15, 2019

Worked great in the early weeks when it hurt for my nipples to touch a bra or shirt and also helped with inverted nipples Aug 09, 2019

I had very sore nips and I felt they were getting irritated all day being smooshed in my bra and under clothes. I thought this would help but it irritated them even more. Maybe they were too small. Aug 09, 2019

For the first weeks after starting to nurse this are the best, it does help you but after you get used to it you don't use them any more Jul 29, 2019

Bluefield, West Virginia
I love that these make flat/inverted or sore nipples pain-free and ready for nursing. I wear these in my bra every day! Jul 24, 2019
- Rachel T.
Knoxville, Tennessee
Great when I first started nursing and I couldn’t stand anything to even graze my nipples. Jul 11, 2019
- Paula D.
Oak Grove, Kentucky
I didn’t love these. The space to put your nipple in would be pushed to hard with my bra and always ended up hurting me more than helping. Jun 27, 2019
- Alena T.
Raleigh, North Carolina
These are great for catching milk from the breast that my baby is not feeding on early in our breastfeeding journey. I was able to start saving milk early! Every little bit counts Jun 22, 2019
- Kathleen B.
Honolulu , Hawaii
These are so convenient! I like that they fit in your bra so it’s not in the way of my baby while he nurses the other side. Easy to clean and assemble. Jun 20, 2019
- Lindsey L.

These were so critical during the first few weeks of mother hood! My nips were so sore and these helped give some relief. Truly they were a lifesaver! May 10, 2019

So helpful for sparing sore nipples from rubbing in your shirt and bra. Highly recommend if you're dealing with soreness. Apr 25, 2019
- Alice V.

Used these when I was pumping. My breasts were tender and leaking. These were a must need when I went back to work. Apr 04, 2019

Great for sensitive nipples with breastfeeding. Mar 19, 2019
- Aubrey A.

These were hard to get used to but did help draw my inverted nipples out. Mar 10, 2019
- Heidi H.
Phoenix, Arizona
Life saver those first few weeks of nursing. These helped keep my nipples moist after applying cream so I didn’t crack or get blisters! Jan 09, 2019
- Rebecca H.

These are a must have for newly nursing moms. They help heal sore, cracked and damaged nipples after learning to nurse. Jan 04, 2019
- Katelyn K.
Belvidere, Illinois
I did not like these, the hospital gave them to me when I was struggling learning how to breastfeed my first baby. They did not help me and were very uncomfortable. Jan 03, 2019
- Stephanie D.
Inglewood, California
These were given to me at the hospital to help bring out the shape of my nipples and made breastfeeding easier. Good for catching milk and for women with flat or inverted nipples Dec 29, 2018
- Alyssa D.
Ann Arbor , Michigan
I swear these helped my cracked nipples to heal, but they pressed on my breasts so they leaked constantly. The pads were always soaked so I really couldn’t wear them for a long amount of time. Dec 29, 2018
- Savannah B.
Oak ridge, Tennessee
These shells are the only reason I was successful at nursing my son. They comfortably adjusted the shape of my breast so that he could latch perfectly every time Oct 20, 2018
- Lisa R.
Richmond, Virginia
Was given these at the hospital. They seemed kind of pointless, but in the beginning when my nips hurt, it did keep fabric off of them which kept them from getting further irritated. Sep 06, 2018
Wonderful remedy for cracked/sore nipples. Instant relief and quick healing! Allows for airflow without leaking everywhere. A bit tedious to clean, but well worth it. Aug 20, 2018
- Kerrie T.
Fall river, Massachusetts
These are good if you have nipple irritation and need to let them breathe to heal! Aug 19, 2018
- Jaclyn M.
Richmond, Texas
I got these at the hospital to help the nipple pop for baby to latch onto. Really worked for me. Only had to use for a few days and then I didn't need. Jul 10, 2018
- Sandra L.

Great idea in theory. Must be worn inside a bra but after a while, the suction felt uncomfortable. Jul 09, 2018
- Elizabeth M.
Airmont, New York
Left a circular mark on my nipple, didn't seem to help my discomfort Jul 05, 2018
- Lea B.
Mesa, Arizona
bought this after rec from LC in hospital for “inverted” and sore nipples. They’ve been a lifesaver and made it much more comfy to wear a bra again but I have had some irritation and itching from them Jun 24, 2018
- Kaitlin A.
San Bruno, California
These were good in the beginning when I was so sore, I couldn't wear shirts or bras. But they would leak constantly and kind of hurt (my nipples are on the larger side). Jun 18, 2018

Yucaipa , California
I used these at night time so when my daughter didn’t wake up to eat, the milk would save instead of dripping out all over my shirt. I would change every four hours so milk would still be good. Apr 30, 2018

Used these for about the first 3 months of breastfeeding. These were amazing for sore nipples that you didnt want touching anything. I consider this a MUST HAVE May 04, 2019
- Adrian T.
Palm Harbor, Florida
I wore these when I first started BF when my nipples were very chapped. They were a savior as they protected then from rubbing on my clothes. Jul 19, 2018
- Molly L.

I had horribly cracked nipples early on. The lactation consultant gave me these and it really helped them to heal and capture any extra milk! Feb 23, 2018
- Allyson S.

I have larger breasts and these sat on them quite awkwardly. Dec 23, 2017
- Kara G.
Englewood, Ohio
I found these shells helpful not just for leaking milk, but also for tender breasts as it kept any material from being directly against the nipple area. Nov 06, 2017
- Natalie N.
Cary, North Carolina
These are fantastic! They help protect sore sensitive nipples and catching milk that leaks. Just don't bend over or the milk will come pouring out! Oct 13, 2017
- Marianne G.
Los Angeles , California
These work so well! I still use now. Even though I had my mastectomy, I use this to even out my chest since my prosthesis doesn't fit in my nursing bra. Really helps with leaking! Oct 05, 2017
- Kobie S.
Decatur , Indiana
Tried these once and they went back into the back and into the closet. Hurts when worn in bra and the pressure builds up around your nipple. Felt as if I was leaking more when worn. Aug 11, 2017

Collect milk and give nipples some air and time to heal too! Jun 15, 2017

These were recommended to me by the hospital to help "evert" my nipples but I ended up loving them just as milk catchers during heavy letdowns. Dec 29, 2016
- Taeree K.

I only ended up using it for a few days in the beginning because it didn't really help bring out my nipples like it promised and it was a pain to clean. Dec 13, 2016
- KyLee D.

Softer then other similar products. Perfect size. Helped save a bunch of milk from being wasted in my breast pads. Dec 02, 2016
- Camille K.
Franklin, Wisconsin
These are great if you have nipple damage from nursing because they prevent touching/rubbing. They're also good for thrush because they allow for airflow. Jul 11, 2016
- Cassie M.
West Des Moines, Iowa
My lactation consult gave me a pair of these when I had sore nipples - they worked great to let me breath and heal! Mar 15, 2016

I wore these non-stop in the beginning when my sore nipples could not bear touching anything. Make sure you have a bra big enough to accommodate them though, or you may get clogged ducts. Mar 14, 2016
- Erin H.
Cedar City, Utah
I was grateful for these the for a few days when I first started nursing-I hated having my shirt or bra rub up against me. They were a life safer Feb 21, 2016
- Leah M.

I was given these at the hospital with my first child and I loved them. They kept my clothes from rubbing my sore nipples when I first started breastfeeding. It also allowed them to air out easily Jan 06, 2016

They feel a little awkward at first but it's great when your nipples are soar Jul 17, 2015
- Jeanette H.

Must-have for every new mom. Got these from a lactation consultant and they are AMA-ZING. It helps to keep your nipples from touching fabric and lets them heal suspended in mid-air. Jul 13, 2015
- Charmaine B.
San Diego, California
LIFESAVER! (or Nipple Saver.) When my nipples were extremely sore and scabbing these helped them heal and helped keep my nips away from my bra/shirt. Haven't needed them after but that's a good thing Oct 28, 2014
