I bought these due to pain in the initial weeks of breastfeeding, and they've been a life line. I couldn't even stand having a shower as even water on my skins was painful. You pop these into your bra to stop any chaffing, and they help with healing by getting air to circulate around the skin - that's what the holes are for. The previous reviewer said that milk leaked through these - and yes it does so you need to be careful but the holes are needed. You can buy another type of shell for milk collection - which looks exactly the same with no holes, it has a spout for pouring the milk into a bottle. Both are made of the same material and can be sterilised.

My health visitor recommended using breast shields to help 'pull out' my nipples, which are quite flat, to help my baby latch on a little easier. These shells did help to do this and my wee boy and I eventually mastered breastfeeding, which is a wonderful thing. I did have an abundant milk supply too so I did use them to collect excess milk, but found this very messy. It's difficult to pour the milk out once collected without making a mess. I found using merino washable breast pads much better to soak up milk. However, these shells helped me out with the problem I had so recommend them for this purpose.
These shells press on the areola which encourages milk flow, they then fill up with milk so when you bend over with them on a gush of collected milk floods out onto and through your clothes. Pretty embarrassing all round.

If you have lots of milk, don't get this product!
I got the shells as I had mastitis and was glad to find out that they collect milk too. However, I was disappointed to find out that the milk is leaking through the holes. Read more
