They collect milk without causing pain. I liked them for catching milk while I single pumped Jan 06, 2023

These were so great in the newborn stage for leaking. Dec 09, 2022

Love these especially in the first few months when your nipples are sore. Must have. Nov 18, 2022
These are fine. I like that I could collect milk and use it rather than wasting it in a bra pad, but I much preferred the ones from Elvie. Oct 18, 2022

These were a lifesaver postpartum for nipple soreness Feb 21, 2022

Definitely not for milk saving. Due to the holes on the top, you can't put them down without using 2 hands if you want to have any hope of putting your milk into a bottle. Jan 04, 2022

Hard plastic in contact with sensitive aureola skin make these a no go for me. Silicone contact surface could have been more comfortable Dec 12, 2021

these saved me from intense pain and discomfort. They didnt always stay in place but when I was newly breasfeeding it was the best relief for me. Jul 20, 2021

These were more of a pain than they were worth. Always messy and difficult to clean. I'm going to pass on these and opt for the Hakka Ladybug this time around! Jul 15, 2021

These leak and the foam inserts are such an absurd thing! I’m really not sure how the foam would even come clean, so I never used it. Jul 11, 2021

Cumbersome and would push into the breast when getting full but did work well to allow some air. Jun 29, 2021

I prefer using the Haaka. Jun 09, 2021

I bought these thinking I would need them but turns out I never did. I’m sure they would work in the correct situation however I never needed them. May 31, 2021

Needed at the beginning of the BF journey so you don't leak everywhere and you save the milk you are usually leaking Apr 22, 2021
- Wendi K.

These saved me during the first 6 weeks of nursing. My nipples were cracked, and the LC said these were the best to apply lanolin and allow your nipples to breathe without rubbing it off. Mar 29, 2021

I loved the concept of these! They helped wear clothes when my boobs were extra painful but I felt like the sponge wasn’t sanitary enough after a few uses so I just opted to stop using them. Mar 04, 2021
Never used these; they didn't seem comfortable. Feb 05, 2021

These were really helpful when I had thrush to allow airflow around my nipple. Also, it felt nice to not have anything right up against the nipple. Jan 25, 2021
- Alexandra F.

These helped so much as my nipples were healing in between each pumping session every 3 hours. Jan 22, 2021
- Niki T.

Used when had an issue with nipples and helped with rubbing on shirts. Kinda awkward based on a c cup chest size. Jan 18, 2021

Don't think it's a huge necessity. Would have rather used something like the hakka. Sep 25, 2020

Great for the first few weeks at home when everything is sore. Also good for helping heal nipple damage. Sep 16, 2020
- Megan D.

Used before giving birth for about two months to help inverted nipples. Aug 22, 2020
Do not recommend for inverted nipples. Painful to wear for long periods of time and caused a lot more irritation than without them. Jul 22, 2020
- Laura C.
Chandler, Arizona
Best invention ever for sore nipples! They keep your shirt/bra from touching and make those first few days/weeks bearable. Can do nipple cream under and heal sore nipples much faster. Great gift! Apr 03, 2020
- Molly H.
Arlington, Virginia
These were SO helpful at the beginning when my nipples were sore and I didn't want them to touch fabric! I could put them on, but still wear a shirt normally. Mar 31, 2020
- Jessica A.

these were given to me in the hospital and they are a life saver. this product also catches your milk which is great but not so great when bending over and your milk spilled Mar 23, 2020

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.

All ingredients are natural, gluten-free, and non-GMO. And don't worry—the pods themselves are made with mother (earth) in mind, too. They're 100% compostable, 100% plant-based, and BPA-free.

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

Mccleary , Washington
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
- Kaitlin A.
Woodland , 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
- Molly L.
Eau Claire, Wisconsin
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.

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
- Mary H.
Hurricane , West Virginia
Collect milk and give nipples some air and time to heal too! Jun 15, 2017
- Julie H.

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
- Shay O.

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

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

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.

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
